Allure Summer Beauty Box 2014 – On Sale at Noon EST!
UPDATE: 1:37 PM EST: Allure has paused all purchasing of the box and is relaunching the sale at noon EST on May 6th:
UPDATE - 1:10 PM EST: It's live - use this link to purchase!
UPDATE at 12:27 PM EST - the site still isn't loading, so I think that means that there will still be boxes for sale when the site finally does start working again. (Given that no one has told us they bought one, I think that's a fair assumption). Also, the reports that they box has already sold out aren't true - that info is from an article from 2013. So there is still hope!
Are you ready!? The Allure Summer Beauty Box goes on sale today at noon EST (9 AM PST)! These boxes will likely sell out in less than 10 minutes - so here's hoping every My Subscription Addiction reader who wants one gets one! The box should be available at AllureAccess.com/Summer. (They will update the link when the box is available for purchase).

I was able to buy the box on the original sale date and time. I bought two this time. One for me and one for my friend’s June birthday.
It took me at least an hour going between the laptop and desk top for the link to work.
I’ve received my boxes and I’m pretty happy. You can’t beat the value.
I was really looking forward to the it cosmetics CC Cream but I’m pretty fair and they seem to have sent out the medium shade in all the boxes so that’s a bummer.

Saw this link with information about the apology and the reschedule.
I did the $199 presale and just received confirmation that my box shipped and will arrive on Thursday. I knew the presale cost more, but I didn’t want to miss out as I’m often in meetings at the launch time. Looks like getting your box early might be another perk for those considering the presale if it’s offered again.

Hi! Can you please let me know how to pre-order them all like you did?
Thanks so much!!!

I am signed up for the Allure Beauty Enthusiasts panel. They send surveys every so often on the magazine and different products. A few weeks ago they sent an email with an offer to preorder all this year’s beauty boxes for a flat rate. If you were one of the first 500 to respond to that offer, they sent a follow-up email later with the link to purchase. I’m not sure if they sent the original offer to everyone (I remember taking a survey months ago on whether such an offer would appeal to me), but the panel is free to join so it’s worth a shot if you’re interested.

Yes I was thinking this yesterday. That it might have been worth it to do the presale instead if wasting time and getting stressed lol. But I guess $199 was too much for me this time. I was one of the lucky few who got through around 1pm, so I’m happy about that.

They ARE honoring sales that got through today. Just got this email:
Hello,
As I’m sure you’ve heard, our Allure Beauty Box website went down today at the time the sale went live.
This email is to confirm that before the site crashed, we did in fact receive your order and your purchase will be honored. You should receive your box within the next 2-4 weeks.
Yours in beauty,
Allure

around 12 I could not get on the site, seemed down. Just clicked on link to site and this is what came up “To all of our Allure Beauty Box fans: Our site went down when the sale was to go live at 12:01 pm today – we are so sorry for the inconvenience. To make this fair game we are going to reset the sale for next Tuesday, May 6 at the same time, 12:01PM EST. Log on to allureaccess.com/summer. Thank you!”

FINALLY got one around 1:15 using the link someone posted on their fb page. I was ambivalent about this box until I couldn’t get it! Now I’m pretty excited! 😛

How about to be truly fair they offer ALL their subscribers the $199 year for 3 boxes??? That way we will not have to go through this again!?! Seriously unhappy.

3 boxes for $199 is only $20 ish less than buying each individually and u got the offer but you have to have it sent to the save address, which doesn’t work when I am graduating this June…

I believe it’s $20 cheaper to get them individually.

It sounds like 05/06 is a
“do over”. To make it a fair game would mean that NO sales go through today, even if you got a confirmation number.
(This is just my take on it.)

I just wanted to say that I was able to order one today, 9i don’t know how..) but I did call and verify this is a ligit sale no scam or hacking, and there will be “another batch” for sale next week and the people that were lucky enough to purchase it today will still receive theirs. the lady actually laughed and said please don’t listen to people online that don’t know what they are talking about.. and she said rest assured that it IS REAL and I will receive mine… hth…

Also, I just received this email response form [email protected]
“while the sale was rescheduled for next Tuesday to repair technical issues, all sales that were completed today will be honored”
I hope this helps as well 🙂

I know lots of people are unhappy, but I for one am very pleased they’re going to re-do the sale next week. I tried for about five minutes this morning, then went back to work–I mean, a box of beauty supplies isn’t like waiting in line for a kidney, so I was disappointed for a second and then forgot about. I’ll get online next week and try my luck then, woohoo. Plus, I get paid tomorrow, so I won’t even have to feel guilty about buying it! Haha.

I was able to get a box but now I see a ton of people upset on FB because this is now what the links states. So what happens to all the people me included that were able to get in and order. Will they cancel our orders?

Thank you Minnie! Order # 5514 confirmed through email…now with the message posted about giving everyone a fair chance does that mean this will be null & void??? Geesh, I hope not! I just had to cancel a new chiropractor appt and they cannot get me in until 5/13 now due to it being a longer appt. time as a NP!!! Grrrr I so needed an allover adjustment as my regular chiro is having wrist issues!!!

Just got an email that says they will be offering it again May 6 for those who may not have gotten it as they are aware of the problems.

So if you got a box will you have to log on May 6th now to get it back?

They are not for sale anymore…postponed until next Tuesday to be “fair.” I have been trying since it began, some people got it and now I have to wait?!?!?! Totally sucks.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think that people who think they got one were scammed by hackers. Allure has postponed the sale….

If they don’t solve their server issues I’m guessing the same thing will happen next Tuesday. What a waste of time this was today.

This is so incredibly frustrating. I just wasted 2 hours!!! I’m glad I have another chance to get it, but I just hope it goes better than today did. I hope I get it next time!

So… What if we were successful ordering the box today? Does that mean we will have to reorder it?

Yes I’m wondering this as well. If we got through and placed an order, then are we all set? I think so but I would like to know for sure. They have already charged my card and I got a confirmation email.

I was able to get one through the updated link Liz posted above, but they now have this message on the allureaccess.com/summer link:

I assume since I received my confirmation e-mail and my credit card has a pending charge that those of us that purchased them will still receive them. I wish they had addressed that in their message as well though, I’m a little worried
