I received an email on July 5th that I would be receiving 2 Marc Jacobs glosses. I received another email today hoping that I was enjoying the glosses. I never received anything. So I don’t know if I will get it or not. This is the second email that I have received from Allure Beauty Box telling me that I would receive something extra special that never arrives. I guess I am not among the selected few. Wish they would not send me the email if they have no intention of sending me anything.

Same happened to me…i emailed them a week ago asking where my Marc Jacobs gift was. They said it would ship out shortly. A week later i received nothing. I asked about it today, they said they were substituting a Lancome sample. Talk about the bait and switch!!! Never will I sign up for anything from Allure again.

They did worse for me, said they’d send marc jacobs, I even recieved an invoice. INSTEAD, I got those ugly smokey eyeshadows. 😢

The same thing happened to me.

It’s a great idea, but they need to be more consistent with distribution!

Allure has definitely improved their content for the past 5 months.

I’m not an eyeliner person, but I was slightly sad to be left out of the free gifts. However, I received an email today stating that I will be receiving 2 Marc Jacobs lip glosses. I *am* a lippie girl, so I’m pretty happy that I missed the eyeliner and got this instead! 🙂

I got the same email today too. Yay!! 2 lip glosses. I’ve subbed for over 3 years, and was feeling left out. Thanks Allure, for including more loyal subscribers. 😉

My Marc Jacobs bonus arrived today. I received Over(night), a deep blue. I would have preferred a dark gray but I’m still thrilled with the surprise. Both the eyeliner and the mascara are full size!

Mine came today also,I received the eye crayon in in Earthquake which is a nice brown.I would have loved to get the purple but I’m so greatfull for what I got.In all the eyeliners I have ( a but load ) not one brown do I own till now.Im impressed that both were full size with a value of 56.00 for both.So thank you Allure I appreciate receiving this gift from you.

I also got mine! I think mine is the same brown (bronzey)- I have been needing a new eyeliner in this color so a win plus this formula is great. I was THRILLED they were full size– I was totally expecting sample sizes.

Michelle

I cancelled after a year as there was too many meh boxes in a row. If I was still with them I would cancel after this. I think it is very crappy to send to some and not to all. It should not have been announced and simply done if they didn’t have enough. Actually it simply shouldn’t have been done at all.

Why in the world would Allure issue loyalty gifts to ‘random’ customers? …insulting many while making a few happy… how disturbing.

FYI – it was for subscribers who have received 16 or more boxes – Allure wrote me this:

Dear Subscriber:

A free gift of Marc Jacobs eye liner and mascara were sent to 3,930 active ALB customers who have received 16 or more boxes.

There are no reships, replacements and no tracking available. Conde is sending an email to these customers to let them know they will receive the items.

If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. To ensure your future concerns are handled in a timely fashion, please include all previous e-mail correspondence.

Thank you,

Thank you so much for forwarding this info! That helps the rest of us.

Thanks for the info, Lisa. Allure must’ve lost my address b/c I’ve subbed to them for 33 boxes in a row now. Shrug….

Agree 100%. I would not have thought too much about it if they had clearly stated that they had a limited amount of freebies and they were going to be given randomly to “loyal” customers. They should have said something like, “250 customers who have been with us for over one year will have a chance to receive a bonus Marc Jacob eyeliner and mascara set. Subscribers will be chosen randomly and should expect an email on or before June 5th. Good luck and thank you to all our loyal subscribers.” But no, leaving out all the details and being vague about who was getting the bonus was a sure way to create bad feelings. Instead of rewarding loyalty, it likely made a lot of their longer term subscribers a lot LESS loyal to this sub. But congratulations
to all who were lucky this time around….sounds like a really nice bonus.

I did get the email and I have been with them since it was Sample Society. I really like the Allure box and love that they send bonuses out to their subscribers but I understand the hard feelings from others. I think this may be the third bonus I’ve received from them. Nothing beats the bonus Oscar box. That was incredible!

This month marks my one year with allure, I did not receive the email you are all talking about. I actually have never received an email from them but around Christmas time I did get the perfumes and I didn’t get an email telling I was going to so who knows with them.

That’s infuriating. I have been a member for 4-1/4 years, since February 2013, from Sample Society to Allure Beauty Box without missing a single month. No email for me. I have never received a single gift or bonus. I just wrote to them but I don’t anticipate a satisfying response.

Totally same here but I’m not giving them my time to write a message! They’re honestly not worth it and are losing ppl right and left! Even Ipsy has been better than them lately and they’re cheaper too! I honestly don’t know what’s up w sub boxes lately but don’t see it changing before the holidays much now sadly!

I feel kind of sorry for Allure. It looks like they had a limited number of items that they passed out to some of their long time subscribers and it blew up on them. They should have passed them out to their employees. They would be better off. These are gifts. I’m sure they didn’t expect everyone to hear about them. I didn’t get one but I’m going to TRY to be happy for those of you who did. I got the Marc Jacobs pencil in the Sephora Favorites bronzing box. It really is nice. Enjoy!

I’m kinda impressed people have been calling Allure’s customer service on a Saturday and getting to speak to someone on the phone. Only Allure and Sephora have that level of customer service.

The rest of the boxes are MIA during the weekend. Some are even MIA during the week . . .

I was thrilled to receive the email yesterday as I have been so tempted to try Marc Jacobs lately and have heard the eyeliner is wonderful. I have been with Allure for a couple of years consistently. It was a very nice surprise and I’m pleased it is a quality special bonus however it is disappointing that the bonus was random.

I’ve subbed non-stop since 2014, and have never received any bonus gift. Thanks for nothing Allure. Why don’t you try rewarding ALL of your longtime loyal customers?

Mary K

Same! Being snubbed once is tolerable, twice is unfortunate, but now a third time? Starts to sting a little. Sure, it’s only beauty products, but we wouldn’t all be subbed in the first place if we didn’t go a little ga-ga over beauty products, right? So of course we all want the freebies, especially those of us who’ve been around for 3 years and been overlooked each time.

Also wanted to add when I did talk to the customer service rep she said if he did not receive an email by now you would not be getting one. I know it’s a random thing but I can’t help but feel upset since I have been so loyal but it is just an eyeliner and a miscarriage sample! It’s just the loyalty thing is a Bull!

Sorry for the many typos! *mascara sample

Lol. Miscarriage sample had me scratching my head!

Shannon

I guess my first message didn’t post on here. I was explaining that I called customer service and ask them why I was not receiving a box since I have been with them for years! She explained it was completely random and if you didn’t get any email you were not going to get one

I called Allure customer service this morning because I’ve been with them since the beginning. I am on their beauty panel and also receive the magazine. I asked the customer service lady why I did not receive an email and she said it is completely random who is getting them not who’s been with them the longest. If she had the right information it really is just a random thing. I still think it’s really cool they send extra gifts out but I’m feeling a little pissed that I am not on the list LOL

So if I subcride today I get $5 off my first box’s and the free gift? Do I need to have a special code to get the 5 off

I have been with Allure for two years….no skipped boxes or sub box monthly holds. I did not get an email. I think rewarding loyalty is an awesome thing for boxes to do, but they really should specify the qualifications. The emails seemed all over the place as far as length of subscriptions. Did they only reward loyal subscribers at random? Define “loyal subscriber” Allure!! Yep, I agree with the other poster who said this was going to create a lot of hard feelings. I know it’s just makeup and is silly in the grand scheme of things, but if you’re going to do it, make it fair across the board. At least Sephora had their requirements clearly outlined as to who could purchase a $20 Play box (even if they surveyed all subscribers regardless of status). I will take Sephora’s snub much better than the haphazard Allure. On the other hand, I have been really disappointed in Sephora as a whole lately. The Play sub has not been as spectacular as the hype. We all desperately wanted off the Wait List so we could get more Smashbox Primer, Benefit PORE-fessional, samples of perfume that have been around for years, leftover 100 point rewards…..yet we continue to kneel to the Sephora gods. 😸😸😸

This is the first time I’ve ever received one of the special gifts from allure.When I first signed up (I think 17 months ago) everybody was getting those big boxes of makeup ,I was so jealous! I have no idea how they desided who’s turn it was to get something,but I would have thought you would qualify.I would send them an email asking what qualifies you to get it.

Toni, I think I have received one surprise from Allure. It was a three piece bonus and the items were not the same brand. I remember liking two of the items and gave the third (Estee Lauder skin care) to my mom. They were all deluxe or GWP sample sizes. It appeared random as some got them and others did not. I once referred a friend and I was supposed to get an Allure bonus box and instead it was a duplicate of the month before box (of course I already had it from my sub AND it was one of those “worst box ever” situations). Not to mention that it took about three months of customer service calls before it ever showed up. Do any of you remember ever getting Marc Jacobs anything in our Allure box? That sort of adds insult to injury. 😑Allure can be super sketchy at times….if I had to cancel all my beauty subs it would be the first box to go. But anyway, I am glad you are getting a bonus and I will keep my fingers crossed that it is the exact color you want!! 😉

Been with them for over 1.5 years now.
Didn’t receive the email.
Guess I’m not “loyal” enough to them. No bonus box for me…
Just received two unimpressed bags from IC and now this.
Come on my subs, I need some good news!

1 year 4 months and counting without a break .. and I did not get an email so anyone under one year might probably not even be in the running 🙁
