| Wantable March Makeup Box Review |
I was super pleased with this Wantable makeup box as it contains 4 lovely, full sized items with a whopping total value of $84!
LAQA & Co – Fat Lip Pencil – Fairy Blood – $18
Product description: “What’s not to like? It’s Glossy, it’s shimmery, perfect for day and night by laqa&CO. The smooth buttery texture coats lips in stunning, glossy color and comes in a handy jumbo pencil that need no sharpener. Fairy Blood Fat Lip Pencil packaging artwork created by Hazel Nicholls. Hazel is originally from Ireland, her work being influenced by a love of cross stitch and interest in old sayings.”
I already own a LAQA & CO pencil in the shade Bossy Boots which I love so when I saw this, I was very pleased to be able to add another one to my collection. The convenience you get with these pencils makes them perfect for throwing in your bag and using on the go. This pencil gives a subtle hint of shine, shimmer and color in a lovely smooth and buttery texture.

Product description “(PlΔ) with a Wink! These eye shadows come in several beautiful shades rich in pigment ranging from soft naturals to velvety shimmers to eye-popping fashion colors. Paraben-free and Long-lasting formula.”
This is a beautiful neutral eyeshadow color that is extremely wearable. It’s a taupe / brown color that can be used all over the lid and it also makes a good crease or transition color too. This has a true matte finish whereas the vast majority of my eye shadows tend to be shimmers or pearls, so this is a very welcome and versatile addition to my eye shadow collection! The pigmentation is amazing even without any primer and it can even be used wet for greater color pay-off!
Billion Dollar Brows (BDB) – Hint of Tint – Blonde – $18

Product description “Color & Control: All in one! A bold blend of temporary brow color in an easy to use tube. Using the mascara wand applicator, gently sweep the wand across your brow line to add color and hold. The more you apply, the deeper the color. Goes on smooth with a natural finish. Water resistant.”
Billion Dollar Brows products seem to have gained a cult following recently so I’m really pleased to be able to try this sought after product. This is the first time that I have used anything other than a pencil or powder product to fill in my brows but I really like this product as it only takes a matter of seconds to add that little something needed to give my brows a more groomed look. My brows aren’t that unruly or sparse but this does a lovely job of keeping them looking neat and tidy, especially at the inner corners where my brows tend to be a bit sparse and messy looking. I find it better to use a light hand and build up the product gradually if desired to avoid overloading the brows or smudging. This sets to a firm hold without leaving my brows feeling stiff which I also like.
La Bella Donna – Moonlight Cream-to-Blush – Moonlight – $30

| La Bella Donna – Moonlight Cream-to-Blush – Moonlight – $30_OnMyCheek |
Product description “A multi-purpose Blush that is a Cream-To-Blush and Highlighting Blush. Luxurious, creamy texture, apply directly to the cheeks or layered over foundation. Tenderly flush the cheeks and the high points where the sun naturally highlights the face. Apply using a Cream Blush Brush.”
This is a wonderful cream highlighter / blush. It’s really easy to get a glowing look with a tiny bit of this product lightly dabbed onto the cheeks with a fingertip and then you can build up the coverage gradually. It does have some color pay-off and I would say it’s quite rose gold toned but I think this product creates a lovely luminous effect on the skin rather than simply adding color like most blushes do. I haven’t found many cream cheek products that I really like but this is defiantly one of my favorites now. It seems to set really well and lasts a long time on my skin which doesn’t usually happen with cream makeup products!
As you can probably tell, I love everything in this Wantable box but that doesn’t really surprise me as one of the best things about Wantable is the extensive customization options that are available prior to purchasing. Part of the online ordering process involves taking a fun quiz where you can specify which products you either really like, don’t mind or even dislike. So basically, the more you say you like some thing, the more likely you are to receive that type of product in your box and the less you say you like something, the less likely you are to receive that product. For example, I already have a lot of nail polish so in my preferences, I said I dislike nail polish and then voila, as you can see, there was no nail polish in my box! #perfect

I haven't, I want to but with so many available I simply can't make a decision on which one to sign up to! π
