Got my box today. I received a full size red nail polish, a mini top coat polish, sample size eyeko liner, sample size body lotion, mini Bvlgari perfume and one face mask sheet. So not too bad. I was hoping for the avene cream and shampoo. I usually do like getting nail polish but I already have a couple of reds. Oh well….
Two full size items isn’t too bad,some other boxes don’t even give you one full size ever so I’ll just put the polish in the refrigerator so it won’t go bad since I don’t think I’ll use it up too fast with all the others I currently had.

I must be on box overload because usually I always like my allure box even if I get the lesser products .But can I catch a break once in a while and get the items I want like the polish for instance.Instead they send me a shampoo for fine thin hair,I have very thick wavy hair.Not a happy camper ?

Yeah I got the same box. I gave everything away but the mask and eyeliner. I’m hoping December is good because I usually do enjoy these boxes.

I think the boxes were a lot better before they decided to take over their own shipping/handling. They’re just not as good as they used to be. I’m going to see what’s in the December box and if that isnt good I’m going to cancel.

Allure has been great to me, when the Foreo came in, mine was defective, Allure sent me an extra box and then the Foreo company sent me a replacement also, I am extremely happy with my experience, also I love the quality of their products, So for me it has been really great.

Mine was defective, like most I heard. I didn’t get a replacement unfortunately since they were out of boxes.

I was supposed to get that subscription box, but they had ran out. It took them months to make it up to me and even sent bvlgari perfumes but I guess I didn’t like the box since that experience. I gave them plenty of opportunity to impress me but, Instead, for months I’d get the same products. I think the only thing I have enjoyed were the full size and colorful nail polish from Julep and Orly. 7 months later- I finally cancelled. I have been getting the play box and am deciding another box.

My foreo was defective as well and they sent me another box but foreo said they couldnt help me 🙁

So Allure sent out an email today and it showed all the products in the November box and in the email they made it sound like you got all of the products. Not once did they mention 2 versions of the box. Apparently they will never learn.

Yes, it has been on their site since the 2nd with nail polish color being the only variation. I see an online chat again with them once I get my box…. i did finally get the missing two items last time….

You can suspend your account in your account settings on the site. You can even choose the start suspension date and the deactivate date. That’s what I did so my next box will be December. I like that they give this option.

Ann

I meant re-activate date.

I’m actually thrilled that there’s an eyeliner! I can never own too many eyeliners. I really don’t care which box I get. All I really want is the eyeliner, so the rest is all a bonus.

Suspended my account for the second time this year. Some of it sounds interesting, but I’ll hold out hope for different types of product in December

This is not worth my $15. They have one month to improve before I suspend my account. Heck, I may do it now.

I never received my October box. So I contacted them again today. They said there was a problem with my card. Funny, becuz I updated it at the beginning of October when they told me there was a problem after I contacted them about missing items in my September box, that I still I haven’t received btw. I asked them why I hadn’t received an email regarding supposed billing issue and the rep said they had. I checked my spam folder and nothing. I’ve received all of their other emails. I also asked what the. Illini problem was and why didn’t the rep last month tell me right then that it was incorrect. She said she couldn’t answer those questions and that even if I updated my card again that I wouldn’t receive October anyway. ? I was holding out for the spongelle.
So now I’m done. Allure started of poorly by charging me in May and not sending me a box until July, no aplogies. And now “billing” errors 2 months in a row, when I’ve had no other problems with my account on my other subs. Not cool Allure. But I can spend the money on another sub that cares about their customers.

Ann

Some of the comments seem more like little passive aggressive digs. O never mind.. I’ll just say for me, the purpose of subbing is to try before you spend a poop load of money on something that doesn’t work out for me so a $21 or $15 investment saves me possibly $50 or more.

Reply ButtonReply

Rosemary

No offense, but what do you mean by “passive aggressive digs”?
I may be shallow, but I have read the following basic categories of comments: some comments from people who were not happy; a very small number of comments from people who liked the box; and some comments from people who didn’t think we were supposed to voice our opinions if were weren’t ecstatic about this box.
I am hoping I am not in the category of passive aggressive, as I pretty much just speak my mind, and this is not a censored forum.
But if I am being passive aggressive, or coming across like that, I would like to hear about it directly.

Reply ButtonReply

Rosemary

Duhhh. Yes, this IS a censored forum, but it is not censored for opinion, only for abusive or offensive language. My ignorance is screaming for attention.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I want to read the good, and especially the bad, that we all have to say.

Ms Karisha

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE this box. I hope that I get the second box. I love nail polish, and the sheet mask is my fav sheet mask. I prefer Bond and Creed level perfumes, but when it comes to cheap perfume, BVLG is one of the only ones I still wear. **Thrilled** I ALWAYS need lotion and eyeliner- I am very happy!!!

glad I cancelled. I loved Allure in the beginning but I expect more than a birchbox feel for the price point. BeautyFix and Fabfitfun still seem to hold the most value for me.

Is there any way to know which version you will get before you get it? I know you can with Sephora based on the item number, but not sure if there is anything listed for Allure. Does anyone know?

Becca

There is no way to know what you will get. It is random.

vicki

That’s crummy! I don’t use nail polish or eyeliner so if I get box 1, I am ok. If I get box 2, it looks like there are 3 things I don’t want and won’t use. I wish we could choose.

Anne

Many people complain about the perfume, but at least they send it in a cute mini bottle as opposed to a vial. My mom ends up with these for her collection.

I would of liked to try the shampoo and the mask, but I’m cutting back on my subs so this one is suspended for the time being.

Wish they would just be $10, instead of the $16.24 they charge monthly. I’ll use that money towards something else.

Recently took inventory and I have way too much product on hand. I’m subbed out and down to just 2 subs for now. Looking forward to trying something different now.

Also any ideas on best place to sell sub goodies? I know the swap site has the option, but they require an ebay listing which I don’t want to do.

I have been pretty happy with Allure since I subscribed about a year ago. I received the red carpet surprise box, I also received a full-size cushion compact foundation after completing Allure Enthusiast survey in exchange to provide feedback, then recently got invited to Allure beauty event at Bloomingdales in NYC (where I live). They gave us a goodie bag with past Allure box (August 2015, I think), Allure magazine, Allure cosmetic bag, and a several deluxe samples.
However, this month I cannot say that I am excited to see 4th Bvlgari perfume within a year and 3rd Klorane in a year. I love perfume minis (and I know they are different scent) and of course use hair products, but I really wish they send us from different brands. I follow Allure on FB and they post all kinds of articles saying best of this and that and we don’t really see that products in our boxes, right? Case of last month, I was happy with either variations, but this month, I prefer first one as I rarely have time and patience to paint my nails.
So with 50/50 chance, I suspended my account for the first time… if I don’t do anything, would my box be suspended indefinite? If I want to receive box again, do I go “Resume Shipments” or “Reactivate”? I am product overload anyway, so it also helps that I don’t want the box.

I am so with you. I really really love Allure all around… And I specially loved the Allure Beauty box from Dec 2015 to about May 2016…all hell broke out from there on and I feel like there are so many of the same brands and same products over and over. Then they started doing the different boxes and I don’t think people even had an issue with getting the same boxes. Most were upset with missing things, boxes, and not explaining to there customers when there is an issue. I have a feeling they will be going up on their price of the box soon too ..boo hoo…
I remember in Dec 2015 I got a mini candle in my first box and I thought heaven had sent the box to me honestly. I miss those days with 2 bonus gifts and full and deluxe goodies all stuffed into the cute red box…. What happen?

Reply ButtonReply

Kay

Beth, good observation! Before May, they used to throw some drug store bonus items like chapstick and the box was pretty full. It seems for me that the customer service has improved a little bit. I contacted customer service more than I wished and I still feel 2 of my issues were unresolved, but I let it go because I felt it evened out with good times, lol.

Chasenchico

Wow, I’ve been a subscriber to allure/sample society for about 4 years at least & I’ve never received a suprise box. I guess you are lucky 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Kay

Chasenchino, I am sorry that you didn’t receive the surprise box. Liz reviewed it and it was a hot mess. From all the comments, newer subscribers after Allure took over received the box, not the long-time “legacy” subscribers according to Allure.

Luna

That’s so cool you got to go to the Allure event. I read about those in the magazines, and just stare off into space (while looking at the pictures of the event) for a few seconds imagining myself there. 🙂

I’ve been thinking the same thing too regarding how they feature the latest & greatest products in their magazines, but they don’t put even one of those products in a box. With Allure’s clout, I would think it’d be easy for them to obtain samples of the newest products and that the brands would be very eager to be featured in their boxes.

Reply ButtonReply

Kay

Luna, where did you read about the event? I had no idea what to expect, so when I saw Allure’s beauty box from over a year ago in the bag, I was like “LOL” because I remembered the box from Liz’s review some time last year. But I wasn’t a subscriber back then, so pretty much everything was new to me. There was a beauty blogger there and people lined up to take pictures with her. Other than light refreshments, you just talk to the different beauty counters and some of them were offering GWP. I resisted all, lol. I will see what Allure will put out next months, but I should seriously use up what I have. I have 2 subs that I pre-paid with the voucher to be finishede, so when that’s runs out, I hope to keep just one or two. So far Play! has been great for me because they put new brands/products for me. I don’t shop at Sephora (even thought there is one around the corner from my office!), so there is no duplicate with the deluxe samples with purchases. Hope Allure is reading this and change things up with their future boxes.

Lynn

I just called and cancelled after never receiving my October box. The report I spoke with couldn’t have cared less. I called twice during the month trying to find out where my box was and no one could tell me. After missing out on the awesome May box and then having June lost in the mail and never receiving anything extra for the fiasco they created and missing products every month since then I am somewhat relieved and saddened to say goodbye to Allure beauty box and look forward to something else to take their place.

I had that happen too. I had ordered the beauty thrills box and they charged me but never sent it and when i called they told me inever ordered. I had to do a fraud claimwith my bank to get my money back.

Thank Goodness for this site!! I just went in and skipped this box too. Not dazzled at all. That perfume showed up a few months ago and it was awful! Headache both days I wore it.

Allure finally caught my attention with the Spongelle product back in October. I quickly signed up and got a shipping email quickly. I know that their website says you are subject to receive an earlier box, but there was no confirmation of which box I would receive. September box, and it was junk. Then I was billed again almost immediately to get my October box. I get that you may have leftovers, but I really don’t appreciate this mentality. Billed twice in a week is not what I signed up for. If they can’t put together a good box, that is not subscriber’s problem/fault. I was done after the October box and will not subscribe again.

Mel

Same thing happened to me. I emailed them when I got the September box and they said I could get my money back if I sent the box back unopened. Well since it wasn’t marked and they didn’t notify me, I opened it thinking it was Octobers. One day Allure’s shady ways will come back to bite them.

They did that to me too! Two boxes billed and shopped after Sept 1. I cancelled after getting the Sept box. Between the spoiler for a repeat of terrible skunk water and the shady business practice, I don’t even want to deal with them anymore.

Sarah read the whole post. At the end the question “What do you think of the full spoilers for the November 2016 Allure Beauty Box?” is asked. No one is announcing anything. They are just answering the question just like you are.

That is nice you like both boxes. For me I don’t need any more Klorane. I don’t wear nail polish since I don’t have for nice looking nails and don’t want people looking at them. So I am glad I suspended by subscription yesterday.

Onyx

I don’t see why you felt the need to make this comment, but people will always find something to complain about, won’t they?

Rosemary

I actually appreciate negative comments. They prompt me to question whether I really need to get a box. In this case, I totally agree with the non-positive sentiments, and have suspended my subscription.
I agree that everyone likes to complain sometimes, but I don’t think that anyone should censor their comments because they are not positive.
And one more thing…if someone can stop me from getting ANOTHER box or subscription, you are doing me a gigantic favor. It takes a lot to get between me and my subscription problem, so I send an enthusiastic thank you to all the negative-Nancys.

Jessicups

I agree, I think people have become far to expectant on boxes being bigger and better then the last. There are just some people who are never happy. I’m honestly not sure what people are expecting?? Are there some repeat brands, yep, but how do people think they get these items for their boxes? How do people think they can offer boxes valued at 60-80 dollars for only 15 bucks? AND make money off of them, while offering FREE shipping >.< At least they give the mini bottles rather then the FREE sample vials like Sephora, and they usually give 1-3 full sizes, unlike BB. This months box is super diverse, there's a little bit of everything, and in some brands I've never tried before. I totally get that everyone has their own personal preferences, but then just move on to a box you enjoy. Every single box subscription has their positives and negatives, Ipsy has cheaper brands and unwearable colors, BB gives tiny samples, boxycharm is very makeup heavy, the list goes on. Only a couple of the items in the box pay for it and the rest is just a bonus, i'm very excited for this month!

So you feel entitled to express your own opinion, but are critical of others who want to express an opinion different than your own? Hmmm.

Not everyone likes the same thing and this site is for people to voice their opinion. I find it quite amusing how many people leave comments about others “complaining” but don’t seem to realize they themselves are complaining about complainers. I for one am Sick of reading posts about how others shouldn’t complain. I like to read everyones opinion about the boxes whether it’s positive or negative. It would be pretty boring if there were only positive comments.
