Allure Beauty Box April 2016 COMPLETE SPOILERS + Coupon!

Received my box yesterday. I am impressed with the size of the products. The Mally lip liner is the “Perfect Prep” lip pencil in light/medium with the sharpener cap. (Personally I think that is a darn cool idea – the sharpener even has a lid to keep things tidy in your makeup bag – I am likely to reuse the cap on other lip pencils.) Everything else is as described above. This is my 3rd Allure box. So far, so good. 🙂

God my box today. I don’t care for the perfume at all, but it was nice to get a mini bottle vs. the typical vial. I also won’t use the lip liner, although the color is pretty. I’ll be trying to swap both!

The rest of the stuff is a win! The shower oil smells AMAZING, I can’t wait to try it! Everything came in one piece and quick! My tracking info was sent out Monday.

This was my second Allure box, I’m really happy with my decision to ditch Birchbox for this! ?

Just got my box. Love it. Probably won’t use the Mally lip color pencil which won’t fit my skin tone. Otherwise. Yippy! I did notice the full size L’oreal mascara not in the mini magazine.

I received my box today, I was disappointed that there was oil all over everything!!! Had to clean everything off and a piece was broken off of my perfume bottle……I’ve emailed them so we will see what happens. As far as number of products,when I had chatted them when they changed the number, I was promised I would receive all of the items, but of course that did not happen. This box IS an amazing value, even with that fact, when you are promising something, then don’t follow through, that is misleading, no matter which way you look at it. This is my second box from Allure and I’m on the fence, mainly due to customer service. Also, they double charged my daughter this month and have not issued her the promised refund. So…..I’m not so sure. 🙁

I just opened my April box and I received all of the above plus a full size (!) pur-lisse daily lip nourisher and tiny Erno Laslo eye refiner. I’m so happy considering I signed up for this box solely for the L’occitane almond shower oil! I think this is closer to the original $95 value and I received 8 items total. I’m a first time subscriber, so maybe they were going for an awesome first impression. I used your code to sign up. Thanks!

I just got my box today and I absolutely looooove it. Everything is top notch. I even love the scent of the Bvlgari perfume (and the bottle looks so cute on my vanity). I just recently purchased the L’Occitane Almond hand cream, so I’m over the moon about receiving the shower oil!
The Mally lip liner is smooth, creamy and a beautiful shade and the cap w/ the sharpener inside is genius!
I’m looking toward to trying the Fekkai styling cream (which smells AHMAZING)
The DDF Wrinkle Resist smells divine and is so smooth and light. I am really looking foward to using this. Hopefully it doesn’t break me out.
I’ve heard people rave about this mascara. I typically use Bobbi Brown, but I’m looking forward to trying something new even though this mascara has been around for ages.

All in all I’m super happy with this box. I think a value if $75 is still an amazing deal, despite that it was advertised at a higher value initially.

I know a lot of people are irritated about not receiving the 7th item, but you’ve got to understand that there is a lot that goes into product procurement. It might not necessarily be Allure’s fault. A number of things could have happened that inevitably led to the 7th item being dropped or unavailable in time for shipment, including contractual issues. Customer Service wouldn’t necessarily know or even have the authority to disclose that information.
Be thankful you have the ability to spend $15 a month on a subscription box that gives you $75 worth of high end beauty products at all. Many people do not and will never be able to.

I thought they we’re giving us 7 items if we signed up during their mistake?I only got what was listed here!

If anyone is still looking at this thread, I’m curious about something. When I saw this offer, I signed up for Allure for the first time, around March 23. I was told at that point that if I shared the news on social media, they would send me an extra box, so I did. I received tracking info today for the regular box, but there’s been no mention of any extra one. I’m just wondering if any of the rest of you ever got similar promotional offers from them and if they honored that and sent you something extra for sharing to social media. Thanks for any input!

I got my Allure box today and I’m overly pleased with it. This is only my third Allure box but so far I couldn’t be happier. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite subscriptions.

I just signed up today, so my first box will be May…hopefully it’s something good lol. I used your link so I got the $5 off, but it took 3 times before it reflected the discount!!! Don’t know what was going on there. I’m starting to get a little box crazy over here. Within the last month I’ve added 3 birchbox subscriptions, a 2nd walmart box (thank god it’s seasonal), I’m going to count the Target box since they’ve been monthly, glossybox, and lip monthly. I think that’s everything haha I can’t keep track. For the longest time I only got beauty fix and then I finally gave in and got ipsy…

I got my box today and I’m quite happy with the items. The sizes are very generous, with the mascara and lip liner being full sized. The other items are large samples, I would say closer to travel size than deluxe size samples. I am happy with the products and sizes they sent. It’s a great value at $15 and is a good selection of brands and product types. Allure is one of my favorite beauty boxes.

With that said, I wish they had handled the mistake better. People and big companies make mistakes, and I’m okay with that. However, I wish they had made the situation clearer and more transparent. An email to subscribers with an apology and details of the mistake would have been better. Sometimes things just don’t work out for whatever reason, but you shouldn’t leave people in the dark. I don’t know what happened, but I do hope that they’ve sorted out their issues and learn from this. Like I said, Allure is one of my favorites and I hope that they can remain that way. I don’t know if they read the comments here like some other sub boxes do, but I hope they listen.

After I received my March box I paused my account as I’m getting ready to move house.
Well of course I got a shipping notice for an April box today!
I went on chat and told them that I suspended my account on March 10th. The girl assured me that I hadn’t. When I asked her to double-check, she came back and said ‘Oh you did suspend the account, but then you resubscribed again the same day’.
Utter nonsense! Now I must ‘return to sender’ when the box arrives and stalk my CC statement to ensure I get refunded.
What a shower! They might encourage a bit of loyalty if they get their act together.

I received my box today! That was much faster than last month..love, love everything in it..I also got the mini mag : )

I just received my April box. The outside cardboard box was taped together with scotch tape and then taped to the inner box and I didn’t receive the mini magazine that describes the products. I received the 6 things shown above. Did everyone else get the mini mag?

I am so delighted this box. I am 38 years old, and switched from Ipsy to Allure. I think Ipsy sent me the exact OPPOSITE of what my profile stated, and the items were just too edgy for my taste. I look forward to more classic makeup colors and items that target aging. I think if I was 10 or 15 years younger I would like Ipsy, and not Allure so much, but as it is, I am loving Allure. I was also get BoxyCharm, and I love it as well.

Sooo here I am yet again. Rundown, I ordered April box around March 25th. A day later I got an email saying they refunded my card and cancelled my order because the March box was sold out? Ok. So THEN then they charge my card again…after I had completely cancelled my sub…and they even acknowledged that!
I just got another email (probably my 5th from them) saying they refunded my card, but will be charging it for the next box, WHILE saying they see I cancelled my sub…in the same exact email! Seriously…what is wrong with them?? I’m done. DEF not worth all this for some samples that I don’t TRULY need…geez

There was some weirdness going on with my payment, but Allure emailed ME first to fix everything. Great customer service especially for one of the less expensive boxes. I’m really impressed and would recommend this box.

I am very excited to receive this Allure box whether it’s worth $75 or $95. It looks like some great new products for me to try and the brands look awesome. I subscribe to quite a few boxes and since the beginning of the year Allure has been my favorite. It’s a wonderful value no matter how you look at it.

I had trouble with Allure since the very beginning in December of last year. It’ was the first box I had heard about. But now I religiously get Ipsy and Birchbox. Anyways, I eventually just gave up on Allure because they charged me multiple times in January and did not own up to their second charge; they quit responding to my emails altogether! Their company is screwed up. But I’m weak and I couldn’t pass up that mini perfume for April 🙁 Signed up under a different email and credit card and will be unsubscribing as soon as I receive my precious mini perfume. Confessions of a boxaholic 🙁

Yep I emailed and they said no way only 6. Wow what BS! To honer others that just signed up but the loyal just get kicked around and this box I’m not looking forward to at all. Swap city but I’m sure there will be lots of them cause I don’t see anything I like at all. To be honest this isn’t worth even $15 to me. Come on Allure! Please! No matter what the price may be of the product if it’s nothing you like it could add up to 1,000 and still not be worth it : (.

Wow I almost signed up when I saw the brands that would be featured this box but I held off. I’m so glad I did not sign up. Not that the value is bad, it’s a great value but I just am not drawn to any of these items. I have a prepaid year with both birchbox and glossy box so thats really enough cosmetics for me. Plus I love to shop Ulta and I have Bare Minerals on auto delivery. But I digress. This seems like a good value and variety box but just not for me at this time

Hmmm that’s weird that they changed it….it was a Cotz item we were getting and now a loreal mascara in its place? I never even saw the 7th item, but 6 is still good.

This is usually one of my favorite boxes to get BC they do a lot of new and up and coming products… But also the point of these boxes is to be surprised and try new things….if you’re picky, don’t like other people picking out random products for you and being unpleasantly surprised, then I think you should stay far away from subscription boxes, surprise packages, anything where you cannot directly choose your products and items… I mean that even goes for food and other places too, but I digress…. Anywhooooo I’m excited!

I feel bad for whoever made the typo that said there would be $95 instead of $75 of product and I feel even worse for the customer service reps who are getting an earful about it. I think that pretty much all the boxes have their pros and cons and some boxes are great, just not great for you. Allure has their issues, like slow customer service, lousy website, odd billing schedule, and the weird and not so fluid transition in distribution, but I find it to be one of my favorites. They’ve done a good job of introducing me to things I would never have tried otherwise. I rolled my eyes at those hair ties that looked like a spiral phone cord but they are PERFECT for holding back my hair after I’ve flat ironed it and not creating that dreaded rubber band dent in my hair. I also appreciate that the samples are pretty much always deluxe and they don’t cram the box full of over-priced junky brands that no one has ever heard of just so they can advertise a huge retail value. Ultimately, the box is a good fit for me, so I take the bad with the good, and I always get $15 worth of fun out of it and if it isn’t, then it’s time to move on to something else.

I love Allure. Think for 15.00 you get more than your money’s worth. Have discovered products I didn’t even know existed. Anything I don’t like or can’t use, I give away. No big deal. Beauty boxes are supposed to be fun.

Honestly this 1 item that is supposed to be worth an additional $20 discrepancy/mistake isn’t worth getting all bent out of shape over. These smaller sized items are ALWAYS overpriced compared to standard sizes. Anywhere.

Nobody in their right mind would pay even close to $75 for the 6 items box. If you even got a 7th item you’d complain seeing that it isn’t worth $20. Just sayin. There are more important things to worry about.
