Wantable Accessories December 2013 Review

Wantable
Cost: $36 per month
What is Wantable?

We create unique customer profiles by asking customers a series of product and personality questions. We then use this data to introduce customers to assortments of products perfectly suited to their personal taste.

Since I already receive so much make-up, I wanted to try something else, so I purchased the Wantable Accessories box (I was able to get this box and the intimates box on sale on Cyber Monday!).
The Wantable Accessories box arrived today and this time I held it together, before tearing open the box.
I am excited to get some new products coming in.

The box is a blank white glossy box with the Wantable logo and inside is foam to hold each item safely in the box.

These are the lovely three pieces I received based on my beauty profile filled out.

The Regina Earnings ($20) are gorgeous! I just love the style, it is sooooooo my style! I am the type that will wear these with a plain black sweater and some jeans...lol

The Cassandra Necklace ($36) has two gold chains suspending the multi-colored gems. The chain is pretty long and will look fabulous with a sweater dress!

Sylvia Bracelet ($22) are all separate strands on an elastic cord. The silver accents are perfect for my lovely Black dress I have picked out for work!

My preferences that triggered these great finds are listed above! You take the profile test and it triggers what might suit you. I must say that the test did not disappoint, it was a perfect match to my style!
I think that at $39 for all three pieces, they did great on the price range for the pieces!
Did you get your Wantable box yet? Which one did you get?
Stay tuned for my review on the  Intimates box!

IPSY December 2013 Sneak Peek 4

Ipsy

 

Cost: $10 per month

 

Here is the fourth Sneak Peek for Ipsy December 2013.

False lashes!!! If you not sure about what IPSY is then click here to refer to my November Ipsy Review. Please ... please... please... give me fake lashes!!!!

Great Gift Idea's 3

Ipsy 
Cost:$10 per month

For the Make-up lover or the person next to you slobbering over your most recent Ipsy  Subscription. 

 

Seriously, if you have not tried Ipsy at least once, you need to give it a try.

 

The reasons:

1. Makes a great gift for yourself or someone you know who wants to experiment with make-up but does not want to spend a lot each month (only $10 per month)

 

2. The teaser's (aka spoilers... aka sneak peeks) taunt the subscribers every month, creating an undying thirst for more... I love the rush I get from hoping to get one of the revealed items in my box.

 

3. THE COST!!!! If you are looking for a cheap gift for a woman, teen, step-mother, mother-in-law, tween, or even sister... then look no further! At only $10 a month you can gift this subscription and be sure they will love it!

 

If you are worried about not having anything under the tree, than order the first box early (December's if you can get in...there is a waiting list) and put it under the tree with a note letting them know their subscription length! Otherwise, use this as a stocking stuffer and take a picture of an IPSY bag (there are hundreds online) and gift the note with the details of the subscription!

 

If you can't get in until January, then start the NEW Year off right and SPLURGE!

 

Here are some of the items I received in My GLAM Bag for November!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, Ipsy gives you well beyond your $10 per month worth. I am highly pleased with this purchase, and can't wait to start exploring the different ways to wear my Ipsy colors. One thing I must say, is that Ipsy pays attention to details, unlike many other subscription services. I have a yellow and tan skin tone and the Ipsy staff pay much attention to what may flatter your skin tone. Fantastic service @Ipsy !

 

Please remember the contents within my bag may be different from yours. The result of your answer on your beauty quiz can vary the items within the bag, so a word of advise is "be honest with your answers and think carefully".

Wantable Subscription Box December 2013

Wantable
Cost: $39 per month
What is Wantable?

Intimates Box camis + panties + socks + more

Whether you're staying indoors with some hot cocoa and a good book, or have plans out on the town to celebrate the season, our December Intimates Box has the perfect pieces, handpicked just for you.

Since I already receive so much make-up, I wanted to try something else, so I purchased the Intimates and Accessories boxes (I was able to get both boxes on sale on Cyber Monday!).
My first box, the Accessories box should be here tomorrow (12/5/13), so I am excited to get some new products coming in. One thing you will gradually learn about me, is that I love new stuff... it really does not matter what it is! I think it is just that feeling of getting a deal that you were not expecting that is really addicting!

Did you get your Wantable box yet? Which one did you get?

November 2013 Glossy Box Favorite Product

Glossybox

Cost: $21 (free shipping) (Blackfriday 2013 use coupon for 20% off THANKS20)

What is Glossybox?

• Five surprise luxury beauty products
• Delivered to your doorstep, monthly

With a Glossybox subscription you’ll also receive samples of the best hair products and the best skin care products for women. Order your beauty products online and receive five travel size beauty products conveniently delivered to your door. Your Glossybox will contain only the top beauty products from well known luxury brands and up-and-coming niche brands. 

Every Beauty box I receive I like to review not only the quality and value of the box,- but also the products inside. Every Beauty box I will find one beauty item I think is either useful, marvelous, or just plain fab and reveal the reasons why!

With that said, let's dive into my favorite November 2013 Glossybox fave.

Mastey Full Sized Color Protection Color Protecting Leave-In Oil Treatment $25.00

I received this Full sized product last week and was able to review the top reasons why this item was the best out of many (you can locate the full November 2013 Glossybox Review here).

The product smells clean and is not overpowering. If you wear your hair strait like I do and use a straight iron almost everyday, then this product is for you. The product was highly concentrated, which means my product would last for at least a month (every other day application). As soon as applied you can immediately notice a nice sheen and for me this allowed me to skip a day of flat ironing, because my ends did not look as tattered.

Here are a few more reasons, why I made this super-product my best friend:

 Protects from thermal damage

• Speeds up drying time

• Revitalizes and repairs your hair

• Made with certified argan oil

• Seals the cuticle and protects color

• Enriched with Omega - 3, 6 AND 9, lipids,
anti-oxidants, vitamin E and natural moisture

• 100% VEGAN

• NO PARABENS OR HARSH PRESERVATIVES

• GLUTEN-FREE

• NO SODIUM CHLORIDE

2. I always love the extreme value within the boxes...look at my past box reviews.
3. This box has the best shipping ever...I usually get my box within 2 to three days from order (give and take holidays, snow, and all the good crappy environmental things that get in the way of my subscription happiness...lol). However, each location may differ.
4. What subscription box service let's you continually get discounts off each box....huh... that is not heard of right! Wrong, Total Beauty allows multiple coupons, just not the same one twice! Love it!

Favorite Ipsy November 2013 Subscription Box

Sample Ipsy Glam Bag

After reviewing my contents of my Ipsy November 2013 Subscription Box earlier, I had to narrow down my favorite product from my Ipsy $10 per month subscription.

This is the first time, I ever had a hard time finding just one item to like... well, in this case love. I think i narrowed it down... although, I adored the liners included in the Ipsy November bag, I loved something a tad bit more.

Alright... here we go...

Pixi Beauty Bronzer 

Color: Summertime

My complexion is mixed with yellow tones, so I find it hard to find a Bronzer and for the longest felt as though I didn't need one (how dare I!). 

According to Pixi:

This deluxe bronzing powder gives your complexion the warmth and luminosity of naturally sunkissed skin. Hydrating, silky-smooth & long-wearing, it also protects against free radicals.

I must say, that the formula is very smooth and does give a great sheen on my skin. 

I am able to contour my high cheek bones and give my skin a healthy glow.

This is a product to try!
