Allure Beauty Box Review – April 2016 + $5 Coupon

I didn’t get the lip liner pencil?. I got a little Mally sheer lip gloss. It isn’t labeled so I don’t even know what color it is. Kind of bummed, I really wanted to try the pencil. I just got today, the 21st. But after reading they were short on boxes, guess I should be glad I got one at all. Maybe they are still having growing pains after switching from the company that used to pack and send for them?

my comment is not showing up. It will probably show up 3 times once this resets… sorry. 🙂

I got my box today ( 4/16 ). The shower oil leaked all over everything and my lip pencil was pushed all the way up into the cap- like it was twisted up to push all the contents out of the handle. The outer box was taped and very thin. The inner red box seems the same but everything smells of the shower oil and the mini mag is all greasy. There was no crinkle paper inside to absorb or cushion anything- just 1 thin piece of tissue paper- all covered in shower oil. The Loreal mascara cardboard is so soaked in oil that the mascara was rolling around loose in the box. The perfume sample was inside an unsealed plastic bag so the Bvlgari box did not get soaked in oil but it smells like the oil – and the Fekkai glossing tube and the DDF container are coated in oil too. This is the second leaky item box I have received- the Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse leaked all over everything last month… Allure sent me a replacement Mini Mag- because it was sealed shut with the rinse- and another sample of the apple cider vinegar rinse. I am kind of disappointed that the packing care seems to have faltered recently. Kinda wish they would put everything that is potentially leaky into little ziplocs or something so that if they leak, at least they don’t get all over everything!

I have been a subscriber to this box for a year. I have not received this month’s box yet and I called. Guess what?!? They were SHORT 700 BOXES THIS MONTH. For whatever reason, I am one of the unlucky ones that did not receive this box. I am so upset! They let me choose between December, January and February. Supposedly they sent post cards to the unlucky 700, but I never received one. If you have not received your April box be sure and call customer service asap before they run out of the Feb Box, which was a lot better than the other two.

This is so LAME! Allure was my favorite until THIS happened.

This was my first subscription box that I have purchased. It was a surprise for my daughter to start exploring what products that she may enjoy. She was happy with the items in the box except for the shower oil which had leaked and coated all the other items in the box. Besides the damaged item I was pleased with the box overall because my daughter was happy with it.

This was my first Allure box and I love it! The only item I am not in love with is the lip liner and that i just because I never got in the habit of using much lip color. I am super excited to try everything else!!

My box always is half way here when I get the email that my box has shipped. It comes every month like clock work and I truely love that. All the sames are full or deluxe size which is another thing I love too. Always lots of goodies I have never tried. Lip liner is not my color but I know a few that do. Happy Happy Happy.I sadly probably will be canceling only because I just have boxes and boxes of full and deluxe beauty products that I can’t use fast enough. I could start my own beauty box subscription company with all the goodies I have.

I cancelled this box recently to try cut back, but then quickly added it when I saw ‘Bvlgari’ (so it was short lived lol). I love or will love everything in this box! The shower oil is amazing, absolutely luxe feeling to me. I might have to actually purchase it!

Did everyone receive a Pur~Lisse Lip Moisturizer and Erno Laszlo Eye Refiner in your boxes? Was this a promo I received for signing up? Curious…

i really love this box already. it and birchbox have me ready to say goodbye to ipsy! i am kind of bummed though – the shower oil spilled inside my box and everything’s sticky 🙁 i wasn’t planning on swapping it but it was still an unfortunate surprise when opening everything!

Just got my box and I am a happy happy customer, can not wait for mays box!!!! I’m dying for spoilers already. Despite some of the issues I’ve experienced, I am just overjoyed, thank you allure, stand up job.

Yes! TO THE DDF!! I used to use this religiously–somehow it fell out of my daily routine! Back in it goes.
The shower oil–using it to wash my hands (I have been puttering in our yard and my cuticles are a mess) I love this stuff!!
Disappointed with the scotch tape/no crinkle cut. The Perfume came damaged!! Agh! And it smells so good!
I am also wondering if this box is sold out?

Hi is this box still available or sold out? I just signed up using Liz’s Link but I’m not sure if I will get this box or next months box? Thanks in Advance.

I got my box today and am just over the moon about about 3 of the items in the box how amazing is that. I couldn’t wait to try the shower oil, I just did it’s so wonderful. Then there are 3 more items in the box, a nice staple mascara a lip pencil that I have to try for color and the perfume I don’t use but is so cute and trades well. Wow, so happy with this the box this month is almost seems like it was made for me.

I got the very same box except that I got 8 items!

Received my first box yesterday. I am thrilled with it. I can’t wait to try every item.

Good job, Allure…..got my box a couple of days ago, and especially love the DDF facial product. I received the Mally Lip Pencil in ‘Cool Red’, and thought I would prefer a pink, but this one I think will actually work on me! I’ve been getting this beauty box for six months now, and love all of them.

Has been fun reading comments from first timers who are thrilled with their boxes and excited about trying new products. Even though I’ve subscribed to several boxes for a while, this subscription is one I can heartily recommend to people who want to dip their toes in the beauty box waters without spending premium prices. This box is the usual smart, interesting and eclectic curation I’ve come to expect from Allure. Wish they were all this fresh and pleasantly surprising?!

This was my first Allure box and it is amazing! I am so impressed. I can use everything but the lip liner and I have a 14 yr old niece that will love it! I love ipsy but birchbox is gone. Allure has taken it’s place.

I received my first box today and I am definitely impressed! I received 8 items, maybe because it is my first box? I’m most excited about the shower gel, it smells amazing and I really like this brand. This one is a keeper for me!

My first box and I love it. In December I received my first ipsy and thought okay, it’s decent and it seemed resonable for a $10 bag. I have felt the same way since. Nice enough for $10 but I now have a pile of freebies for friends and donations. I quit opening some products since I knew I would never use it. I’ve liked a few of the bags themselves though. So I tried birchbox and I got a number of nice facial creams. But so tiny. So now allure. I’m loving my first box and will use everything except the black mascara. I have friends who will love it and all the other black products I always get from ipsy or in my donation box. But I will use, or already have used every product in my allure box. While the perfume isn’t one I will use, the bottle is way too cute to give away. I’m impressed with the size of everything. I love my allure box. I had planned on cancelling birchbox and now probably ipsy cuz of this box. All those ‘oh, it’s just $10’ starts to add up! And 3 of the 5 ipsy bags themselves are in my donate to a woman’s shelter box among other unopened products. They are not my style but they are for others. I just don’t want to keep getting bags just to donate. So I’m now I’m an all about allure convert! And I will keep my Walmart box.

I really like this box! Oddly enough though, the cardboard cover was pretty flimsy this time (their usually thick stock) and my box was closed with scotch tape (say what?!). I thought maybe someone had tampered with it because it didn’t come stuffed with the usual crinkle cut white shredded paper but it doesn’t look like yours was either, Liz. Maybe it just opened in transit – i checked all the contents & nothing looks tampered with & the items with safety seals still had them intact so…..yeah, I’m still using everything! >_<

Got this yesterday and am thrilled – I will use every item! Great great job, Allure. I too got the lip pencil with the attached sharpener in a color that pretty much matches my lips – win/win! The only bummer was that some of the L’Occitane shower gel had leaked out and ruined the sturdy red box as well as subtracting about 1/5 of the shower gel. But I just cleaned off all items in the box, started experimenting with them, and remained very satisfied for my $15 expenditure.

Allure has been consistently my favorite box since around December. The value is always there, and I absolutely love that they send me stuff like the DDF which I have never received before. I sub to a ridiculously high number of beauty boxes, so discovering new products these days is pretty rare. I LOVE Allure’s curation, and I would recommend this box to anyone!

Argh I hate cheating and seeing what’s in the boxes! But here I am haha. But I am so excited to get this box! I hope mine arrives soon :3
