Wantable Make- Up Subscription Box

Hey everyone! By now you may have seen a new subscription box coming onto the scene called Wantable and today I will be showing you the box I received! So Wantable is a subscription box based in the USA where you can choose which category you are most interested in from; Makeup, Accessories, Intimates and a seasonal box which is currently Halloween themed. I chose the makeup box because I knew I would try new brands not accessible here in Australia and i'm glad I chose it! Once you have signed up and chosen which category box you would like you can fill out a quiz (highly recommended) so you will get items you'll really use. 

There is a subcategory for each piece of make up and you have to chose if you love, like or hate certain products. If you love a product you are guaranteed it in your box, if you hate something you will NOT get it in your box; if you like something your chances of getting that item is 50% so if you really don't like something put it to hate. I made sure I only chose love or hate for my items and I got incredible items that i'm super excited to share with you! This subscription box is quite expensive (at $40 for an individual box, or $36 for a monthly subscription - this doesn't include shipping unfortunately; which so happens to be $9USD to Australia). Besides the hefty price tag I was really impressed with this box and would love to try the intimates box next time! Here's a look at my products chosen for me!

Manna Kadar Lipstick in 01 Russian* - This Russian red lipstick is so so good. It is a really close colour to my MAC - Ruby Woo but the formula on this brand is soo much better and creamier and the best part it is semi matte! My favourite kind of finish. It is super opaque and so creamy. This is 1 coat on my lips. I've never heard of this brand but I really like this lipstick and would love to try more!

 

Laqa & Co Nail Polish in Chubs* - I've been wanting to try this brand ever since I first saw it on ASOS and loved the way it looked like a pen. Now that i've tried it, i'm not that impressed. The long brush makes it hard to control and the formula was very watery. This gold colour is pretty in the bottle but didn't translate well onto my nails. This is 2 coats.

 

Beauty For Real Miracle Mascara in Very Black* - This mascara is really cool. I love the whole concept of this nifty little gadget. It is a mascara that has a little magnifying mirror on the side of the tube and a light in the cap for making any touch ups ..genius! But, unfortunately the formula on the actual mascara itself did not wow me or make my lashes look that great, in fact it made them look clumpy. Aside from the formula, I love the tube and wish I could put my favourite mascara in there! This was 1 coat.

Cailyn Gelux Eyebrow in Espresso* - Another brand i've never heard of but i'm so glad I got the chance to try! This gel eyebrow filler is really good at naturally filling in your brows. I usually stick to black or dark brown when buying eyebrow products so it's good to know that I can confidently use this colour to fill in my brows just fine! I love using an angled brush to fill my brows in, it's good for getting an overall cover through the hairs. The packaging on this product is great and compact. It all stores away with the brush hiding in the lid. I love love loveeee this product and have been using it daily since!

After

Cailyn idefine Liquid Liner in Blackest Black* - I've reviewed heaps of marker-like gel liners these past couple of weeks and i'm really just finding that they all work the same. This Cailyn liquid liner is super pigmented and glides on easily and the more I use it, the better i'm getting at nailing the perfect wing. . i'm pretty close I think! This product works well overall but now I have too many in my collection. 

My favourite products from this box were definitely the lipstick and the eyebrow gel products. They are really good and I'm so happy I got to try products that aren't available here. P.s I did not trial the little sample of the instant skin tightening serum - I don't use those types of products so I gave it away. Let me know if you are thinking of trying Wantable and what your favourite products in the box are! See you soon.

Notox Box Australia Review

Enter my 500 follower giveaway here to win 7 nail polishes!

Hi guys!! Today I have a very exciting new Australian subscription box program called Notox Box* to show you! If you aren't aware I don't only love nails and beauty, but I also love staying active and eating very healthy and have wanted to jump into eating more organic products for a while now but just haven't had enough money (newly moved out of home!!). Also, I have a strong passion for all things environmentally friendly and am also studying to become an environmental scientist so this 'green' box is the perfect fit for me! This new Australian box will definitely be on my subscription list and here's why!

Discover Natural, Organic and Eco products with Notox Box!

Notox Box is Australia’s first subscription service designed to help find your favourite happy and healthy products. Offering a diverse range of health, lifestyle, beauty and kids samples, Notox Box features a new selection every month.

These boxes are available in monthly ($25), 3 month ($70) and 6 month ($150) subscriptions and they all have free shipping! This months box contained 7 products, 4 of which were full size!

 

Tiaki Day Cream (trial size)

Tiaki is a 100% natural and chemical free skincare range. With almond, avocado and roeship oil plus botanical extracts from NZ, it is a great intense moisturiser. The tubes are also biodegradable (WHICH I LOVE!). I loved this product. I used it on my hands and feet and it made them feel so soft! Smells really fresh and just like botanical extracts.

Wotnot Facial Wipes (full size)

Enriched with all natural ingredients. ACO aloe vera, sweet almond oil and rosehip oil for skin regenerating and moisture re-balancing. This stuff smells funky! I had to hold my breath while using it on my skin because it smelled so bad. It did a good job at removing my make up and my skin didn't feel tight afterwards but the smell totally ruined it for me! It smells very bizarre, not going to lie!

Power Superfood Goldenberries (sample size)

Excellent source of vitamin C, carotene and bioflavonoids, fibre, cleansing pectin and protein. There were 3 little dried up goldenberries and they tasted delicious. A bit like figs crossed with raisins. Yum!

Happy Feet Detox Patched (full size)

I was pleased when I saw this in the box! I'd heard so many things about this type of medicine practice. Eastern medicine suggests that toxins accumulate in our feet - that they are a mirror of our internal health. Foot patches are full of herbs and minerals, and are a simple, natural way to detox the body as they absorb the toxins through our feet. This was cool! You have to wear them during the night as you sleep. They have a sticky patch side that you just slap onto the bottom of your feet and sleep all night long! I did notice that the patches smelt like smoked bacon..lol mmm. The packaging also says you should drink water while these are on your feet. I did wake up with a little headache this morning but I can't entirely say whether the two are correlated. When I took them off the patches were black! I'm intruiged to know how many times you have to use these patches before they start coming out clean with no more toxins? Really cool product though and would definitely try them again!

Buckwheat Kernels (full size)

I haven't used these little gems yet but i'm excited too! I haven't been able to find many recipes on what to use these with but I'm planning on grounding them up into a fine powder to use as a pancake batter. 

Stolen Recipe Iced Tea (full size)

Made with real brewed loose leaf tea and fruit juice. No tea extract or sugar. 100% natural. The flavour I received was Lemon + Lime peppermint tea & more. It has a nice orange-y taste to it and you can tell they have used real tea in the drink.

Crunchies Freeze Dried Fruit (trial size)

Crunchies' patented freeze-drying process means that the only thing taken out of the fruit is water. No additives, no preservatives, no added sugar and no oil. Wheat free, gluten free and GMO-free, but rich in fibre and nutrients. These are soo delicious!! I received the very berry mix which has strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries and they taste so good. Just becareful when you eat them that you don't inhale too much because they are slightly powdery and I ended up coughing a fair bit! I would definitely buy these again!

All in all I am extremely happy with this box. It is such a good way to test new products on the market and to see what the latest innovation in health food is. I will definitely be subscribing to this box! What do you think of this box? Thanks for reading and have a good day!
