Wantable Makeup + Intimates Subscriptions Ending

Sad. I got Wantable for a few months when it first came out. They sent me some great stuff and introduced me to some brands I’d never tried (or even heard of with some of them). I just happened to think of them and went to look up recent reviews only to find this post. Granted, the $40 price tag was high, but back in the day, they did a good job with what they sent me. I guess I am better off with fond memories though given the general consensus that they had gone down hill. 🙁

I’m gonna mis this sub, but the quality of the makeup and brands went waaaaaay downhill after a few years. I was hoping things would improve.

I am not at all surprised by this. I liked the Intimates box until they raised the price and lowered the number of items you got (I never got a coherent “look” as promised) and got rid of socks and tights. I canceled then and didn’t regret it. I’ve had ok luck with their fitness boxes, but their style box was HORRIBLE for me. It was super expensive jeans and t-shirts and other things that were way too casual for my job but way to expensive to just wear on the weekends.

Eh, I saw this coming. I knew it wasn’t good when the Intimates went up in price and the quality didn’t get better (and IMO, even though I was grandfathered in on price, the quality seemed to go down). I tried the makeup one and once got a product that was used – I emailed and the customer service was meh, and they offered to send something with my next box. Next box…. no extra product.

That sucks. Those were the two subs from Wantable that I had, and after a rough month or two, I finally found my groove with these subs, and they had started sending stuff that was right for me.

I wish I could say I’m sorry to see these go, but I’m not. I used to sub to both boxes (Intimates and Makeup), but the boxes felt very thrown-together without a lot of thought, or really any. As for my Makeup boxes, some of the products I received seemed old (no longer applied correctly / smoothly, or were brittle), and none were colors that I actually liked. I was somewhat happier with the Intimates box, and cost was the major reason I cancelled it, although I will note that the sizing was inconsistent too. With the prices being what they were at the end for these boxes, which was pretty high, the boxes weren’t really affordable for the casual box enthusiast.

I did get ONE of their fitness boxes, and ONE of their style boxes to try out. I was totally unhappy though – there were major sizing issues with both of the boxes I received, and the prices for the Fitness box were heavily inflated compared to what I could buy on Amazon. As far as the Style Edit box, StitchFix just did a better job for the same price.

I’m not exactly surprised by this. While I did get some things I liked via the Wantable makeup sub, I never felt like they were able to match me with what I had requested. Plus, the price was steep compared to other makeup discovery subs, since they sent full-size products.

Aw, I really liked their Makeup collections–found some great brands that way. Sad it will be ending…
