Wantable June 2013 Jewelry Box

Details:
Wantable, a monthly Jewelry subscription, is only 36$ (includes shipping!) or 40$ per box with no commitment. Free return shipping, style profile to assure you get pieces you will like, skip a month option.

The theme of this month's box is bright statement pieces, and stunning metallics. While i got more metallics than i did bright pieces i am mostly satisfied. Wantable suggests pairing these pieces with bright lips, matte nails, and glowing cheeks. You know i will be trying these tips!

 

1-  Gold hoop earrings with birds on them- These small bird earrings really aren't my style and i was a bit confused about them at first since i checked off that i like a larger size earrings but once i saw the neck scarf/head band i got a very retro 1950's feel to it and it made sense.
2- Blue polka dot neck scarf/head band. This fabric piece has a wire inside that allows you to bend it into whatever you want it to be. While doing my video review and wearing it for the first time the wire popped out through the fabric. I wasn't impressed about that but it did look quite pretty as a neck scarf.
3- Multi Gem Ring- This ring has a stretchable  band so it will fit nearly everyone. The gems are so pretty and very sparkly. Since it is neutral you can wear it with many outfits and matches the necklace quite well.
4- Snake print statement necklace- big and bold great for a night out, cocktails after work. If worn on its own can be very classy.

Overall i liked the quality of this month's pieces aside from the scarf. I would like to see Wantable follow their quiz a little bit stricter but i feel like every month they simply get better and better.

June BirchBox

So I'm probably way late with this but I'd like to share with you all my June Birchbox. My box came in late due to a problem with UPS, but birchbox made it right and sent me a replacement.

What's birchbox? Well birchbox is a monthly subscription service which costs $10 dollars (shipping included). Every month you will receive 5 samples, some deluxe or even full size products. If this sounds awesome to you then sign up here.

Outer Box


Inner Box. I love the attention to detail!

List of products received.
 

 

 



This month I received the following:

Borghese- Bango Di Vita Soak
These bath crystals feel amazing. They made my skin feel soft and smooth. I wouldn't say they made me feel like I was at a spa retreat as the info card said I would, but they are nice
Price: $35





Eyeko - Fat Eye Stick in Chocolate
I received the full size product of this worth $15 meaning my birchbox is already worth more than then the $10 dollars I paid. I really like this product. It's creamy but has opaque color. I was able to make. A subtle smokey eye look with this pencil. The directions say to use over primer or powder but I found it worked just fine on natural skin. I like that this pencil can make a whole eye look (just add mascara), it's low maintance which is great for summer.
Price: $15


Full Sized product



Hand Swatch
  
Blended on hand



Looks very natural on the eye especially if you have brown eyes



Smokey eye in a natural brown.



TheBalm cosmetics - Stainiac in Beauty Queen
This product is a lip and cheek stain in a gel formula. I have to be honest I did not like this as a cheek stain, but love it as lip stain. I felt the color was too dark for my cheeks and the fact that it stains leaves room for no errors.
Price: $17


On the skin

Blended into a stain.




Yu-Be -Moisturizing Skin Cream:
When I first put this on all I could think of was how medicinal this smelled. Its consistency reminded me a little of vasoline. It doesn't feel greasy and does make my skin feel soft, however, all other factors considered I will not. E buying the full sized version of this product.






Luna Bar- Chocolate Peppermint Stick:
I did like the taste of this bar. It wasn't overly sweet and had a great taste. It was chocolate and mint, but neither flavor over powered the other
Price: Pack of 15 $18.75
