Allure Beauty Box Subscription Box Review – January 2016

I stopped sub boxes because of all the red lipstick and black eyeliner (even with using it on almost every kid in the neighborhood one Halloween, I still have more than I can use in 10 years). This Allure box, is my case in point. I love the idea of the skin items, but please sub boxes….lay off the red lipstick and black eyeliner.

Loved this months box !!
Favorites were the deodorant and the cleansing oil I have been wanting to try these for a long time . ?

I just received a special extra gift in the mail from Allure also. I received the Tangle Teezer brush and a sample of Kaplan MD cellular rejuvenating concentrate. I love both of these. Thank you Allure for the wonderful beauty boxes and now the extra gifts. I am really enjoying my membership. I subscribe to several other beauty boxes and have been trying to decide which ones to cancel, but there is no way I will be canceling my Allure beauty box any time soon. They are awesome. Thank you.

I got a little thank you bag! allure . Came with 3 deluxe sized samples. Estee Lauder sumptuous mascara. supergoop setting mist, Bb hairdressers invisible oil. love this subscription

This month was my first month and I really liked that there are unusual products in this box. I cancelled Glossybox and Boxycharm because it was the same thing over and over. My husband knows how much I love getting my subscriptions in the mail though so he signed me up for this one and I think it was a good call! I agree with a lot of the comments about the red lipstick however, I must have received seven in the past couple of months!

What a terrible customer service Allure (Beauty Box) Live Chat has! To ALL my questions someone named Markell answered “I do not know”. Every – single – question. When I pointed out that such service is unacceptable, the employee ended the chat on me, saying she has no idea when my box will be shipped, and wishing me a happy day!! Is this a joke?! I did save the chat transcript for someone in charge to see what sort of customer “care” was being provided. Being a first time subscriber, I’m so worried that this is going to be a nightmare experience all the way 😐 Will I actually receive the box that I was already charged for?

everything in this box looks amazing. love that Mally Liner and the Trust Fund Beauty Polish!

When I signed up for this month, Allure charged me $10 but they do state that they will charge you taxes if you’re in a state that charges. I’m in California so sales tax for online orders is 9% also, so they did charge me an additional $10.90 but then cancelled the original $10 charge. So maybe this happened to other people depending on what state you’re in?

I resubscribed to this box based on this month’s samples and the $5 off coupon. Within days I was brought back to the last time I subscribed and had to deal with all of Allure’s screw ups. I was immediately charged the $10, great. Then I checked my account today and see I was charged an additional $11. What the hell?? I’ve already emailed them asking why. When they had some old boxes on sale last year, I purchased 3. I received my confirmation email but was later told they had sold out of 2 of the boxes I ordered and were just shipping the one. I told them forget it and to refund the full amount. They REALLY need to improve their site and how things are run. I will be cancelling again. Just Birchbox and Ipsy for me, I guess.

I recently cancelled 2 subs, and as soon as I get caught up on the state of product overload I’m currently in, I’m signing up for this one!

This is my second Allure box and I love it! So happy to try the deodorant and the DC oil is one I’ve been wanting to try. Love the nail polish and can always use the other products. Great job Allure. This box is a keeper

The box looks amazing! Unfortunately, I have way to many of the same products, and it just doesn’t make sense for me. I hope whoever got this box enjoys it, because it is a wonderfully curated box.

Loved everything in the box but the hideous ruby lip creme! I applied a little and my family was like “what in the world is on your lips!?” I look like a clown! Another red lipstick in the trash..

The DHC cleansing oil is one of my favourite to use!
I’d recommend following it up with a foam cleanser though, to ensure that all the oil residue is off your face.

With the exception of the fire engine red lip cream (WAAY-AY-AY too bold for someone my age, 50-ish) I loved everything in this box! I’ve been using the DHC oil cleanser for years and it is my daily “cant-live-without” cleanser. So glad to see more people will be sampling such a great product, and I appreciate having an extra travel-size bottle. The deodorant is interesting, nice fragrance, but a little clumsy to apply – it kept crumbling – and then it took two soapy hand-washings to get it off my fingers. I’ll stick with my stick, but it was fun to sample a different product. All round, January’s Allure was a great box!

Wow! Super-solid box! If I didn’t already have a huge backlog to get through this would definitely make me re-sub. Hopefully it’s the start of a great year for them and I’ll jump back in when (if) my stash starts to shrink.

I just ordered this box as my first with the $5 off this is so worth the $10 I paid for it.

Wow, this box looks great. I can’t wait for mine to get here! I know I will probably love that lip color on me. I recently just fell in love with reds.. 🙂 So, Excited!

I just received my January box. I love it. Can’t wait to try the products. They also sent me an extra box from Nov. that I paid for and are now sending it. Better late then never. Very happy with allure

I don’t think mine has shipped yet, but looking forward to receiving the box. I usually gift bright lip products and some eye liners since I have enough. I will give the natural deodorant a try!

? everything in this box! I’m even looking forward to the eyeliner-it does almost look black so much better than blue lol. I’m happy to see the DHC oil, I tried it a years ago before oils became popular it’s so light and so is their oil moisturizer! 🙂

When did you guys get your box? I haven’t received mine yet.

If I sign up now will I get the January box?

This is a great box. I cancelled last year right before they re-grouped. Is this unusual or are they always this good now?

I didn’t get the eyeliner. Until I saw your review, I figured it was either the eyeliner or the lip color, but now I’ll e-mail them. Besides that, with the exception of the deodorant (I agree — I dislike anything but sticks) I like the contents of this box. I love the color of the lipstick. I’m just getting into cleansing oils, so I’m excited to try this one.
