New Subscripton Box Pigment and Palette Review

Pigment and Palette is a new subscription box that sends 4-5 premium art products, plus a collectible postcard with artwork for $15.00.  Pigment and Palette send me their first box to review.  In addition to sending supplies, Pigment and Palette features an article on their website for the postcard artist each month.  This month's artist was Jophen Stein.  You can read about Jophen Stein HERE.
The Details:
Cost: $15.00 a month
What's in the box: 4-5 premium art products, plus a collectible postcard with artwork
When does the box ship? The box ships the third week of the month
The Box
Pigment and Palette was shipping by USPS.
Inside Box
Inside the first box was a little black box.  It has a magnetic closure, so it is reusable.
First Look
We Were Promised Flying Cars by Jophen Stein
Acrylic on Board
WWW.JOPHENSTEIN.COM
This is a really unique piece and it looks like 2 super heroes flying through the city.
Canvasland Unprimed Hemp Artist Canvas sample
$54.00-$156.00 Depending on dimensions and canvas
From the card “Canvasland canvases are handmade in Austin, Tx and are ready to prime.  100% hemp canvas and sustainability sources for the environmentally friendly artist who want the best.”
I am going to let L use this small piece of canvas to make a tiny masterpiece.
Montana Colors Micro Paint $4.00

From the card “Halfway between a spray and a souvenir, the MICRO from Montana Colors is the smallest spray can on the market.  Available in black and ready to join you wherever you go.”

This is the cutest little can of spray paint.  I am going to have to find something to paint now.

Gamblin Artists Colors Solvent Free Gel $4.92
$19.95 for 150 ml, sample value
 From the card: “A medium to be mixes with oil pants that is solvent free and gives colors more flow and transparency.  Solvent Free Gel has a moderately fast drying rate and increases gloss.  It can be also be used to clean your brushes during painting sessions.  Use Gamsol or soap and water to clean when finished.”
I am not an artist, but this may help me bring out my inner Bob Ross.
General Pencil Company Primo Elite Grande Pencil $2.00
Koh I Noor Tri Tone Multi Colored Leads $2.00
Primo Elite Grande Pencil: From the card “A hex shaped thick core ultra black pencil.  Handcrafted with rich, organic blacks to achieve intense linear markings and tonal values.
Koh I Norr Tri Tone Pencil: From the card “Tri tone pencil create rich drawings with depth.  Every pencil contains 3 shades and draws a multi colored line.  Sold in sets of 12 or 24
These are nice pencils and L will enjoy drawing with them, or I may give them to my artist friend.
The Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box came to $12.92.  This does not include the artist postcard or the canvas sample.  I think this is a great premier box for Pigment and Palette.  If you love art or know an artist, this would be a great subscription to try.  Click HERE to go to Pigment and Palette's webpage.

Wantable December Review

I signed up for a subscription when Wantable had a Cyber Monday deal.  The offer was a free box when you buy a box.  I decided to get the makeup subscription.  I reviewed Wantable in November and really loved how well they catered the box to my preferences.  When you sign up for Wantable
you fill out a survey, so Wantable finds out your style.
The Box
Information Sheet
Wantable includes a paper with your preferences  and a list of all the box contents.  Wantable also includes a description of each product, along with their retail value.
Holiday Box 
Three was an advertisement for the Holiday box, unfortunately, they are all sold out.
Wantable 
Wantable included a card, stating you can share your pictures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and they may be used by Wantable
Rainbow Honey Nail Lacquer Sakura Matsuri Namesake $10.00
 This is full of pink and white blossoms, adorned by holographic and iridescent glitters.  It is free from Formaldehyde, Toluene, and Dibutyl Phthalate and none of the ingredients have been tested on animals.
Cailyn Cosmetics Ultra Moisturing Lip Color Pot Pink Sugar $14.00
 These leave a nice color on your lips and moisturize them very well.  You can apply this with a make up brush, or just with your finger.  I love lip gloss and this is a fun pink color.
Starlooks Single Shadow Compact Enter Eden $12.00
 I really like Starlooks makeup.  This is a great color.  This can be used as a over all color or just to accentuate the crease.
Michael Marcus Prime Foundation Brush $36.00
 This brush can be used to apply foundation, concealer or primer.  I have never used a brush for foundation/concealer, but I am excited to try it.
Skiin Soothing & Smoothing Eye Cream Sample
This is supposed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by using two peptide ingredients.  This also helps to reduce dark circles and puffiness. This looks like a great cream for my skin.
The Box
Final Thought:  The total value of this box is $72.00.  Once again, Wantable really came through.  Every product in the box was on my love list.  I really like that Wantable takes in my makeup preferences into account, when creating my box.  I can't wait to see what will be in my January box.  I am very glad I signed up for Wantable.  If you are interested in signing up for Wantable, click HERE.  Wantable also has an accessories box and an intimates box.
