January Wantable...

I am always super excited when my Wantable box arrives each month! I usually end up impatiently tracking it's progress as it ships from the US to my front door! 
You can read about my December Box here!

This month I got 4 full-size products most of which I am quite happy with!

First product I saw was this wet/dry diamond shadow from Vincent Longo in the colour Concerto. I've never had an eye shadow that has been able to be used wet before so was pretty excited to get this. 
I love the colour and have tested it both dry and wet. 
It's really blend-able when it used dry and you can get really clean lines when using a fine brush and water.


To get this look I used the shadow wet with my Zoeva 322 Brow Line Brush to achieve this super fine flick. I wanted to create a softer winged out liner look, compared to my normal black flick. 
In this look I also used the liner you see below on the water line, just to add a pop of colour to this subtle look. (($24.00-£14.90))


This brings me to the next product I got in my box, a Navy Eye Liner. I love this colour I think it's great for adding subtle colour to most make up looks. As much as the name suggests it is Navy I find it to be more of a dark teal blue colour. You can find swatches below. (($18.50-£11.50))


This next product I wasn't too happy with and very much doubt I'll be using it any time soon. It's a lip gloss in a pan in the colour Henna. First of all I'm not a great fan of the colour and secondly it's super sticky. I like my lip glosses a silky sticky texture and not one where it feels like it'll glue your lips together. Swatch below. (($14.00-£8.70))


And my last product I have used once and is a great mascara by Lord & Berry. Even though it is a great mascara I like my mascaras to be waterproof as it holds curls better. 
I will however be giving this to my friend who uses non-waterproof mascaras and am very sure she will love it. I find the formula really easy to use and applies nicely, it's really black and stays on all day. I also really like the super sleek packaging. (($23.00-£14.25))


Here are the swatches of the products. At the top is the Navy eye liner, left is the lip gloss and to the right is the diamond shadow used dry in the middle and swatched wet on the far right.


I will only be using 2 out of the 4 products received in this box but I'm not disappointed. I still love the fact you get full sized products and love giving presents so there won't be any wasted products, apart from maybe the lip gloss. 

This time I got around £50 worth of products in a box that cost me £30.

I will be skipping next months box as I'm going to save my money, but I'm sure it'll be back again in March!
