I don't see very much talk about Wantable here. I was wondering how many people subscribe to their different boxes and what your experiences are. I so far have only tried the makeup box.  Just curious...

 
Wantable is one of my favorite subscriptions. I receive both the accessories and the intimates box. I found the trick to receiving a good intimates box is to order shortly after the next month opens. I did have to return my intimate boxes a couple times in the beginning, but not anymore.

 
I just signed up for the Wantable Intimates collection. I love that you can dislike an item and they will never send it to you. My first box had the Mukluks slipper socks, and black camisole set with white sparkly lace on the edges, the shorts are adorable and super comfy. My husband was super excited when I told him about this sub!  I am so excited for my second box, I feel that $36 is a steal for what I got in my first box! I do like the fact that you can skip a box or return it if you don't like it as well. Thanks for this topic!

 
I love the intimates and makeup box but seriously dislike the accessories boxes.  They send cheap stuff that falls apart fairly quickly and rings that turn my fingers green.. Uck.  Otherwise, the other two subs are amazing.  I love that I can pick and choose with the makeup....  This month I may need more blush, next month I'll switch it up to get mascara, and maybe the 3rd month, I want more eyeshadow.  I love that I can do this when I'm running low on something.  I use the intimates boxes for times when I want more loungewear, panties, soft bras or socks.  I've returned a few boxes where there were too many items in the box I wouldn't use, but just ordered another with different preferences and got what I wanted.  I love that the quiz now lets you add a small note on what you are hoping to get.  That made things much easier to get exactly what you are looking for.

 
I sub to the make up box.

I've only gotten 1 so far so I can't comment a whole lot about it. I received 4 items and they were OK I just don't think the value is there for me. It's such an expensive box that I think I'd rather use that money and get something I know I will love! I have to cut my sub's down and sadly I think Wantable an Ipsy will be the first ones. I know a lot of people love this one though!

I keep reading a lot of great reviews on the intimates box!

 
I have gotten a few makeup boxes and an accessories one in the past.

They were just okay for me - some nice products, some that were just okay. I do think that the personal value isn't there for me, as I do have so much makeup already. They tend to get a lot of repeated brands, too.

The accessories box was fun but not something I'd buy again - I wear one of the necklaces, the other pieces not so much.

 
I sub to the accessory makeup box and sometimes the intimate box. I love this sub its one of my favs. I have had amazing luck with the jewelry they send me. Amazing pieces.  Plus the value has been great on everything Love love love this sub

 
I order scarves, watches, and headbands in my accessory boxes and love them. The two (accessories and intimates) coming early next week will be my last for a few months. I'll post the contents here when they arrive.

Yes please do! I have been binge watching youtube unboxings. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I just love to see what people get!

 
Question for those who subscribe to the intimates box: Is this the type of subscription where you have to purchase the items you want to keep? Or does the monthly subscription fee cover it for the items they send you each month?

The monthly fee covers all the items in the box. The best part is that you can send the box back postage paid and receive a refund for it if you do not like the box.

 
I received my Jan Wantables Accessory box on Friday. Jan's box is a departure from my regular style.. Wantables Accessories allows you to pick from up to 5 different styles - Boho, Classic, Glam, Rock 'n' Roll, and Mix 'n' Match. They have pictures of each style in the survey so you understand what they mean. I usually mark love for Glam and Classic,  Like for Boho, and Dislike for Rock 'n' Roll and Mix 'n' Match. This time I selected Love for Boho and disliked the remaining styles for a diifferent look. I marked love for silver/gold tone, scarves and hair accessories and like for bracelets, necklaces, multi tone and watches. Everything else is marked as a dislike. I also wrote a comment in the comment box that I have thick hair and do not want ponytail holders.

I received 2 necklaces and 2 bracelets. I'm relying heavily on Wantable's descriptions.

1. Val Necklace Gold. My younger son calls it the Egyptian necklace. It's more like a colar with blue, gold and ivory beads on it. It's my favorite piece.

2. Leslie Bracelet - It is a wrap bracelet with multi colored beads. It wraps twice and has beads in the middle with silver toned trim. It went well with a shirt hoodie I wore the other day.

3. Amanda Necklace Gold. It is on a long gold chain with a tear drop shaped open stone outlined in a gold-tone. I wasn't sure if I would like this until I wore it with a cardigan. The stone is pink which looked nice against the pink and purple cardigan and purple tank top. The purple showed through the stone.

4. Erica Bracelet - It features a large ivory center stone on a more cuff like bracelet. The style of the stone is cracked. It may be beyond my comfort zone.

This is different than my usual box which is classic/glam and usually has 1-2 scarves, a watch, and a hair accessory or necklace. I do like this box because I wanted something different from what I usually receive. I am going to try to include pictures in my next post.

I need to find the Amanda Necklace Gold. This is my first time doing spoilers and attaching pictures so I am hoping all goes well.

I just get accessories and chose only rings bracelets necklaces and earings.  I also chose silver and the style and get is boho and rock n roll. I have been getting this box for months and love everything they pick my style to a tee.

 
I tried the accessories box once and the quality was so bad I returned it. Every single piece was damaged in some way. They also gave HUGE "manufacturer's estimate" prices ($30+ for on bracelet, $45 for another) yet offered no brand nor supplier names to check for myself.

The customer service was awful, too. Short to say, I had to threaten lawsuit before I even got a reply to my request to return the box. The only helpful staffer has since left the company.

The icing on the cake was when I saw the "$45" bracelet retailing at a second-string accessories shop for $5. Yeah, okay. I would never, ever waste my money on any Wantable subscription, ever.

 
I really like the intimates subscription, because I can get a variety of hosiery, comfy pj sets, and tank tops for relatively little money. I thought the accessories box jewelry was crap, though. Low quality pieces that lost their plating in a day. It really depends on what you choose in your preferences, though, because I've gotten some lovely scarves through the accessories box.

 
I subscribe to Makeup, Intimates, and Accessories, but often skip months, which is a feature I really like. The Makeup box has generally been good, with higher-end brands. As a PP mentioned, I just pick and choose based on what I need that month and what is featured. A few months ago, I got two blushes that I liked, so I put that as "Dislike" for this month since I don't need any for quite a while now! And this month they're featuring Au Naturale face products as one of the options, so I chose Complexion Products as one of my loves and specifically requested it in the comment box.

The Intimates box has been good most times, but before they changed how they do their survey, I made the mistake one month of picking loungewear with Brights and...I forget what the option is called, but not classic. I got some hideous bright orange lingerie, the ugliest panties I've ever seen, and I forget what else. The great thing was that I could send it back. At least now you can separate loungewear and lingerie! Another month I only liked two things but was able to swap the others. I find it useful for basics like tanks and loungewear.

The Accessories has been the most hit or miss. I've only done that one a few times and sent one box back and kept two, I think, swapping a couple items. I'm trying again this month, so I'll try to remember to post a review!

The way I see it is, since you can return the boxes if you don't like them, it's worth a shot! It just might take a couple tries to get your profile right, and it depends on what they're featuring from month to month. But if you don't like the options, you can just skip.
