Wantable Box First Impressions

disclaimer:  products or product shown in this post has been provided by the said brand for review and/or use.
 
 
Today I have a subscription box review from Wantable, I hope you enjoy this post!
 
About The Company
Wantable is a monthly subscription box service which offers 3 choices in subscription services you can choose a makeup box, accessories box and intimate box. Also currently Wantable has for a limited time a Halloween box. Each month you will received hand picked beauty, fashion and intimate wear chosen for you. Wantable uses each clients unique profile to select the perfect set of time for you.   
 
 
Review
What comes in the box is a card with a nice note on the back, an information paper which tells you about the products that are in the box and your products. I just have to note that I like the fact that Wantable is a small enough box that it will fit into your mailbox if you live in a building or house it will fit right into your mail box that way if you’re not home when your mail is delivered you won't want to stop at your local post office to pick up your package.
Michael Marcus Eyeshadow in Uptight is a pale pink shadow shimmery shadow. It a pretty shadow and I would use this for a highlight on my brow bone. I also think for lighter skin tones this would be a nice shadow to wear over your lid.  
 

Japonesque Angled Foundation Brush is a travel sized brush with synthetic bristles. I'm not a big foundation person I usually don't wear a full face of foundation so I can't see myself getting a lot of use with this brush for that reason, but I can see myself maybe using this brush to contour with any cream products.
 

Face Stockholm Lip Gloss in #22 is a sheer plum gloss would be nice over a berry red or deep plum lipstick. One thing I didn't like about this lip gloss is that I notice it had a familiar smell to it, at first I couldn't put my finger on it but then I realized it reminds me of the smell of chalk.
 

Lise Waiter Light Cap Nail Lacquer in Silvery Taupe is my favourite item out of the items that I was lucky enough to get. This colour is described as a silvery taupe polish. I also like that the cap lights up for a more accurate application. There is a little button at the top that you press to turn on and off this feature.
 

Kikkerland Emery Board Skull Nail File this is a cute nail file, it's double sized the back is black.
I don't have much to say because everyone knows what a nail file is and how to use one.
 

Last is a sample size of Skiin Soothing & Smoothing Eye Cream I have used this for 3 days it's a creamy product you only need a little bit to help with fine lines and wrinkles as well this cream helps with puffy under eyes. I haven't yet seen the benefits of this product as I only have used it for 3 days. But it hasn't helped out with my under eyes to get rid of morning puffiness. This is the reason why I’m using this since I get puffy under eyes on my right eye in the mornings so annoying but I hope with using this more it will help with the problem.

 
Price
Subscription Box is $36.00
 One Time Purchase is $40.00 
 
This is a pricy box compared to other boxes BUT with this box you are getting full sized products that equal 80.00 or more. Wantable also includes the prices of each item.
 
Michael Marcus Eyeshadow in Uptight                    24.00
Japonesque Angled Foundation Brush                     25.00
Face Stockholm Lip Gloss in #22                             19.00
Lise Waiter Light Cap Nail Lacquer                         13.00
Kikkerland Nail File                                                1.50
Skiin Soothing & Smoothing Eye Cream                0.00
                                                          Equals             82.50
 
 
 
 
What do you think of Wantable?
 
This can also make a next one time purchase for a gift for someone since the holidays will be here soon

Nail Art Featuring Born Pretty Pearls


Hey everyone today I have a nail art post for you featuring pearls that I was sent from Born Pretty.
Born Pretty is an online nail store they sell everything from nail polishes to nail dryers and a lot more other thing as well, if you have never been to there site I suggest you check it out all you nail art lovers and even if your not into nail art they also have other things you might like on there site like earrings, necklaces, cell phone cases etc.


 
 
About The Product
The pearls come in a white and clear case in the shape of a circle, the lid is not removable instead it spins around so you can open it to which ever pearls you want to use. I like that the lid is non removable because sometimes things happen and people knock over stuff and if this ever gets knocked over there is not a big mess to clean up. There are 12 sections of pearls in 3 sizes.
 
 
Price
$4.14 US
Born Pretty offers free shipping world wide and you can also use my code to get 10% off I don't get any commission from you using my code it just strictly for my readers to use if you like and if 10 or more people use the code Born Pretty might have a giveaway or contest for my readers, so this code is really just for you guys.
 
 
 
How To Pearl Nail Art
This nail art is pretty simple or at least to me it is. All you need is pearls or rhinestones, what ever you want. For nail polish I'm using a grey black polish, you also need a base polish, top coat polish and tweezers to help pick up the pearls
 
Step 1. Once nails are dry from your base polish apply 2 coats of nail polish to your nails, for the ring finger I made a crescent shape on my nail using a normal polish brush along my nail then I painted the rest of my nail. It does matter so much if the shape isn't perfect because no body is perfect right and you will not notice so much once the pearls are on your nails.
 
Step 2. Apply another coat of polish on one finger where you want to place your pearls, use your tweezers to help you place your pearls on your nails is best. Once your pearl is in place gently push down on it and move onto the next pearl. You want the polish to be wet when your doing this step that is why you would apply the polish on one finger first then do your pearls because the pearls need something to stick too.
Step 3. Once your done applying the pearls apply your top coat. Make sure to apply a good amount of top coats around and in between the pearls. Then once your done that move on to the next finger.
 
 
 
I hope you enjoyed this post! If you try this nail look send me your pictures on instagram @kaylaashleysb

The Bay & Forever 21 Haul

 
 
Today I went shopping with my cousin because I wanted to go the MAC store at my local mall where they were having a Archie's Girl Collection Event, because it wasn't an actual MAC store it was a MAC counter in The Bay the event wasn't big. But I also bought some other stuff beside MAC so here is a haul post on the other stuff that I got. I will do another post on the MAC products in a few weeks once I have tested them out for awhile.
Love & Beauty By Forever21 Perfect Manicure Nail Stickers $1.80CAD
I was shocked when I saw these for $1.80, can't wait to try them and they are cruelty free.
 
Forever21 Earrings $3.80CAD I couldn't find the ones I got online buy here is a link to similar earrings for $5.80 click here
 
Love & Beauty By Foreve21 Shimmer Bronzer $5.80CAD. I never have bought Forever21 bronzer but I did see a YouTube video on there eye shadow palette with a good review so I decided to try there bronzer since I'm currently not buying anymore eye shadows for now. This is also cruelty free as while when I was waiting in line I noticed there eye shadow palettes are also cruelty free.
 
The Bay Material Girl Pants $29.99, my cousin and I both got a pair together she got a mint coloured pair of these pants. I have been wanting pink pants for awhile now, I can't wear these until spring because there not thick pants unless I wear these on top of leggings, but I think these are prefect for spring and now I kind of want a mint coloured pair like my cousin got.
 
 
 
What are some of your recent purchases?

Guest Post - Splatter Nails By Brittany

Hello! I’m Brittany from Brittany’s Secret! I love everything about beauty, and my blog is the place where I can share my thoughts and ideas with you!

I wanted to share a splatter mani—mostly because I haven’t done one in FOREVER! But they’re simple and fun. The best part is they are so unique and no two nails are ever the same!

Polishes used for splatter
China Glaze Pelican Grey, Pure Ice Kiss Me Here and Sinful Colors' Black on Black

I first started out with two coats of Sally Hansen White on White as a base.

Next I used a straw to splatter Pelican Gray from China Glaze. I like starting with lighter colors and going darker. I just love the way it looks!

Then I used the same technique, but used Kiss Me Here from Pure Ice.

Finally I used Sinful Colors’ Black on Black.

Finished it off with a top coat and there you have it!

Hope you enjoy and don’t forget to check out my blog! I also want to thank Kayla for letting me guest blog on her site!
