I don’t know. I subscribed on May 5th. I didn’t get the May box or the June box and have received no email about July either 🙁
Have you tried sending them a message on their site? They’re usually pretty good about getting back to you in a day or two!
I will now. I thought it was due to the fact that you don’t always get the box until they have one available, i.e. The following month. But this post made me go back and check my emails.
So I just chatted with customer service and asked why if I subscribed on May 5th that I didn’t receive a May or June box and have heard nothing about the July box either. The rep said that happens with the first box and that I should be receiving the July box but couldn’t tell me when.
I subbed in April and was told I would not get the May box after that whole overselling mess. Strangely enough, I ended up receiving May but got nothing last month. This is the strangest experience I’ve ever had with a sub box. I’m thinking about cancelling just to be rid of the headache.
I haven’t had the best luck with them either. Signed up in April, site said I’d been charged for the June box, but I never got a confirmation email, or the box…I tried email them a few times and no one ever got back to me. I did receive my July box, but if I have issues again in August I guess I’m canceling.
I subscribed on May 4. They charged my card right away so I thought I was going to get the May box, No such luck. I was told I would get a June box since they did not see a problem with everyone getting one (read, not as good a box as May’s). I did not get an email by mid June so I sent them an e-mail. A day or two later I received an email with the tracking info. So, I am thinking if you did not get June’s 1. Make sure they don’t charge you again for July’s. 2. To make sure you get a July box, email them and make sure they send one to you.
So I finally am able to log in again, but it shows no info on a shipment. So I started a chat with CS and this is how well that went. ?

According to our records your first box will be the July box. This box will ship soon.
2016-07-12 17:16:20 Michele How soon, it’s the 12th already?
2016-07-12 17:16:38 Vanessa
It should ship within the next week or two.
2016-07-12 17:16:52 Michele Your company has had my money for a long time. I have nothing. This is wrong.
2016-07-12 17:17:09 Vanessa
I can cancel if you want. However, you will not receive any other boxes.
2016-07-12 17:17:26 Michele Why take money for a product you cannot deliver?
2016-07-12 17:18:07 Michele You should have a wait list until you can fulfill the demand.
2016-07-12 17:18:26 Vanessa
I will forward your comments. Can I help you with anything else today?
2016-07-12 17:18:55 Michele Would you send me a box and the be willing to wait 2 months for the payment? And no clear answer as to when,why or what’s going on?
2016-07-12 17:19:13 Vanessa
Thank you for contacting Allure Beauty Box, have a great day!

I recieved an email earlier today as a reply to the email I sent asking if I was for sure going to get julys box, since I’ve been told the past 2 months, I would be getting mays box and June’s box. And the reply was that I would be refunded and my subscription cancled. So I started a live chat and asked why I was sent that email, and she said she didn’t have any idea, but my account wasnt cancled, and I’d recieve the July box and would get an email with tracking info as soon as it ships, I will wait and see, but not sure I will keep it after this month, I mean all the other beauty subs I subscribe to do not have any issues, if I’m told something it’s done. But I’ve waited 2 months for a box so I’m gonna get this 1, and I’m most likely out. Good luck everyone else
I LOVE La Mer products! The eye concentrate works miracles! The soft cream size is 7ml/.24 ounces. It’s the sample size one gets when purchasing a La Mer product online. It’s worth about $40.
I liked the Allure boxes but there operations need to get in order. Not only was I involved with the May box issues, I was told I would not get a box and then the May box ended up coming in the mail anyways. Now, I was charged yesterday for this months box and I was charged twice! Annoying but I calmly messaged them and the CS rep said he would submit for refund. Then I get this email today:
Dear Subscriber:
Thank you for contacting Allure Beauty Box.
Our records show that with the two charges from Allure Beauty Box on June 30, 2016 that we will have two July boxes mailed to your mailing address.
You may refuse delivery or return to sender for the duplicate July Allure Beauty Box and when we do receive the return box, a refund will be processed back to the credit card unless you would like to keep both July boxes from Allure Beauty Box.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused…
So now, I have to return the second box. This is completely unacceptable, there is no reason why they can’t refund me, I contacted them the same day of billing. I just don’t know if this box is worth the hassle..
It can work out better than that. You can easily sell the second box for $30 on ebay!
or just keep it! I would love to have two of everything!! haha
Dez, your case they charged twice, mine for some reason they didn’t charge at all, instead suspended my account for no reason. This looks like a fantastic box and I would hate to not get one. I totally agree they need to get their operations and customer service in order!
I heard of that happening to others as well. I know I saw a few complaints back in May/June about that. Apparently, these were current subscribers that were suddenly suspended and never got their May boxes..
This same thing happened to me! I normally get charged at the end of the month for the next months box and nothing was charged to my card at all at the end of June/beginning of July. Therefor I assume I will not receive July’s box because I technically haven’t paid for it (not my choice). But I also have not received a response to any of my emails 🙁
It wouldn’t even be so bad but I subscribe to many other boxes as well. They are all usually billed at the beginning of the month, so an extra 16 bucks this week is kind of a lot when you have 6-7 other boxes to pay for. That money would have almost paid for my BoxyCharm. Lol I just can’t understand why a company as big as Allure can’t seem to get it together. I’ve had to contact their CS more since the end of May than I have any other subs service ever. The only reason I’m dealing is because the boxes are pretty good..
That is ridiculous and probably illegal as well. And if you “Return to Sender” you have no tracking so no proof they got it back. Tell them you’re going to contact the Attorney General of your state if they don’t refund you.
you can use the same tracking number that they use on the return to sender, just take a pic of it before you refuse it to the post office. The post office will scan that scan until it reached allure
Dez, I will buy your second July box if you’re selling it!
Not sure this box could be better. So pleased! Have never tried La Mer but always wanted to–so excited!
I subscribed on May 23 and I was told I’ll be getting this box so I hope that I will because this looks amazing!!!
I cancelled my birch box and got this and I have never been happier. I feel you get a better bang for your money with allure, especially now with birch box’s points issue. I can’t wait to get my hands on this!!!
Color me thrilled!!! They kept that secret for a good reason! Plus with the Olay eye cream!! Happy
I am super excited to try the LeMer. It’s always been out of budget, but was on a dream wish list. So very happy!
Wow, looks like a great box! So happy that I chose to stick with them even after the May fiasco. ?
I am SO excited! I hated absolutely everything in June’s box, but this? This is amazing! I’m so glad I decided not to cancel!
Does anybody know if is it possible to use Glamglow clearing treatment if you have dry and sensitive skin like mine? Trying to figure out what I am gonna do with this sample, maybe I should use it only on my nose area? Happy to try Chubby stick and La Mer!
I would NOT recommend the clearing treatment for sensitive skin. It’s for oily and acne prone skin.
I have dry skin and just use the glamglow to spot treat zits when they first start showing up. It seems to make them clear up faster. My skin isn’t particularly sensitive though, so if your skin needs special perfume and dye free laundry soap, cleanser, body wash this might be too strong.
I hate that primer, but everything else looks solid. Looking forward to it.
Great box! These are high quality products and I’ve always wanted to try the Glamglow clearing mud. It’s amazing to see another La Mer product in a subscription box (I haven’t started using the concentrate from Rachel Zoe and now I’ll wait and use these together). I have that Smashbox primer and it is very good.
Yes!! I was just thinking how happy I am that I’ve been saving the La Mer serum from Box of Style. Now I can use them together. I’m just scared I’ll love it and want to shell out the cash for the full sizes.
FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting all month for spoilers! Haha!
I’m thrilled. I know some of these items are common in sub boxes but despite having been a subscription box lover for almost two years now I haven’t tried any of these items (or brands!). The primer, Glam Glow and the chubby stick are things I’ve BEEN wanting to try and I hear the night serum is amazing! It’s like this box was specific to me!
Love this! The chubby sticks Clinique has are my favorite thing they do so this is right up my alley 🙂
Boo…totally disappointed and I got that glamglow in my may ipsy bag. ??
Omg, so damn happy, love allure so much. I have wanted to try glam glow for so long. Probably gift the primer, but as usual, I love everything else. Can not wait
Not happy. I think we are being punished for complaining about last month’s box. Why only 5 small items??? I thought 7 was standard in allure beauty boxes now? These sample sizes so teeny tiny..I don’t think even $15 worth of product here…allure is going downhill fast in my opinion.
Though the samples arnt huge, these are all really high end, good quality products! Liz posted that just for the Estee item has a value of 14.50, so pretty much the value of the box. I’m pretty sure a full size glam glow is 60, so that sample is also not cheap. Sometimes quality over quantity for sure
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the LA met alone is worth more than $15
The Estee Lauder alone is worth $14.50, so almost the price of the box. I checked Allure’s site, and it does say that the number of samples varies per box. Even though the La Mer sample is small (can’t quite tell the size from the pic) it retails for $170 per oz, so even a small sample is worth quite a bit. Looks like the Clinique might be full-size, too, which is a $17 value. But, not every month’s box has the value for everyone. Sorry you’re disappointed, but hopefully next month will be better. (I have to say, I’m personally excited about this month, but last month was kind of “meh”.)
The glam glow will be 0.5oz and the full size is 1.5oz at $69, but I believe Sephora charges $26 or something like that for the 0.5oz pots. Same size but in a tube. So that alone is well over the sub cost.
These boxes have to be planned at least six months, if not a year, ahead of time, in order to source product. There’s no way one month’s box is a punishment for the reaction to the previous month’s box.
Punished? What an odd thing to say. These boxes are pre-planned months in advance. They screwed up mostly due to miscalculating popularity and an overseas shipping mess, but still have THE box to own with resale prices ( on EBay, etc.) sometimes double the cost. The La Mer sample size alone is worth at least twice the cost of the box. Sorry you don’t like it, and this one may not be very exciting to YOU (I’m always really thrilled with Allure) but cost vs value???
Forgetttaboudit!
NurseMK~ well said.. I second that!!! I’m with her☝︎ xo?
Thank you Britt, ? You are too kind! I get $60–$100 worth of products every month for $15 bucks, I really can’t complain….Cheers!
I put my sub on hold but I would like this box. The chat rep said if I resume today I will get the next available, but wouldn’t say it was July’s or August’s. Does anyone know if this one is already oversold and not available right now even for current subscribers?
I saw someone else posted on the last review that the July box was already sold out. I subscribed in May and haven’t received a box yet so I emailed them to confirm if I will be getting this box. I’m not expecting a definitive answer, but I didn’t think it would hurt to ask. But with all that bing said, I’m thinking your “next available box” will most likely be August.
being* Oops!
I’m so excited for this! I can’t wait to try the La Mer, Glamgow, and the lip crayon. I already use the Estee Lauder serum. I think I’m the only person in the world that hates that Smashbox primer (I just can’t stand the way it feels!) but my mom loves it, so she’ll be happy to have it. All in all, a really great box! Definitely an improvement from last month’s, which was really underwhelming.
Great box! I’m just hoping they don’t “run out” of the La Mer, and replace it with a Lancôme or Estee Lauder moisturizer. It seems like the variation item is usually the one thing that everybody gets most excited about.
Honestly would prefer another product than Le Mer. Know that isn’t a popular opinion but tried the serum & moisturizer, its nothing more than an over-hyped moisturizer IMO. still great that Allure is offering it.
Betty, I agree that Le Met is just an overhyped, overpriced moisturizer. My mom used to buy their line and I tried some of the products. Not impressed.
I feel the same way, but with the SK-II moisturizer. I just finished a sample (granted it was one of those teeny-tiny red jar samples), and it felt like any ordinary cream. For me, I notice an instant change (primarily overnight) with La Mer products. I do a weekly facial with only La Mer products (I wish it could be a daily routine, but I couldn’t justify continuously spending that much money), and my skin is always so supple, glowing, even-looking, and extremely smooth when I wake up the next morning.
Paula Begoun’s reviews of La Mer have made me skeptical of the brand’s claims, but heck–if it’s in my box I’ll give it a shot. 🙂 And if I’m not wowed by it, I can always use it on my heels (my feet get the face products that fail to impress me–you’d think they’d look better than they do!).
For those of you who have signed up and not received boxes, do you continue to be charges each month that you are waiting for a box? I signed up around June 9th and was promptly charged. I didn’t get a June box, which is kind of fine with me, I just don’t want to be charged in July.
I signed up May 5th and did not get a May box, I also did not get a June box, (( but was not charged for June after the Initial charge in May)), CS informed me that I would be getting a July box and would not be charged again until August.
This is a really nice box of luxury skincare items and I love Clinque products.
First Allure box I am not looking forward to at all. Must be because I loath Nordstrom. Having worked there it is sad to watch it devolve. Maybe next month will be better… hopefully more than 5 products… at least they could use a smaller box.
LA MER????? OMGOMGOMGOMG! This is almost as good as the Foreo Luna!
Wow!! What a great box. Like someone else said I know all the brands. Way to go Allure.
Did anyone else get an email that their July box would be shipping late? It just came this morning…..
But I’m still excited! I was one of the lucky ones who signed up late and got the May box. I just got my June box last week and was iffy on it, but this July box looks so promising!
I haven’t received an email from them. How long have you been a subscriber? I signed up last September.
I just received a bonus box last week for a referral. It ended up being the August 2015 box. I hope this means whoever signed up for the Allure box off of my referral will be getting the July box. It looks like a great value.
Amazing!!!!!!
This box looks fantastic! After a crazy/insane May and a super disappointing June, this is very exciting. I know most people seem to love allure and if this continues, I will too!
This makes me so tempted to subscribe!
Just know that even if you sign up now, chances are you wont get a box until next month. I got all excited last month, signed up May 27, and did not get the June box. Don’t want someone else being disappointed.
I have been tempted to sign up for this one, but really don’t like how they’ve handled their current subscribers over the last couple of months. I “had” more faith in allure, but no longer. Although their boxes are pretty decent, I don’t want to sign up, pay, and wait a couple months to actually start receiving it. AND not really know WHEN I’d get my first box.
Same here. What a mess.
WHAT??? Glamglow AND La Mer??? Dayum!!!
But last month’s box was so lame… I suppose if I subscribe now I’ll get, like, September. Anyone know?? That’s my favorite Glamglow formula!
yes probably august or september
I saw someone else said they spoke to customer service and were told they might not even get the July box if they signed up in May because it’s already oversold. I’ll be super upset because that’s when I signed up! So yeah, you’d probably get September or maybe even October.
OK box but Le Mer isn’t worth its price at all. I have tried it and seriously got better results with CeraVe products. Still a nice addition fro those that have never tried it.
Ditto.
Mario Badecesu seaweed night cream is the dup for the La Mer night cream and it’s only $22. It works great. It’s oil free to for all you oily peps. I’m actually combo but been dry lately and it still works great for me. The ingredients are collagen and Hyluronic Acid which is best products for super skincare.
I’ll be swapping a full box and I’m really wanting those pineapple shot glasses from hostess box if anyone has some to swap!
Any idea what color the Chubby Stick is?
Strawberry
Thanks, Trisha!
hah Figures, I put my sub on suspend for July….La mer is one of my favorites! Hopefully I can swap for one or five LOL
Does anyone know the suspension cut off date? Unsuspended mine just for the EL product but probably too late.
OMG! This is pretty close to my dream box, and for my birthday month too! Allure does the best boxes.
The only one that doesn’t excite me is the Smashbox Photofinish Primer! I have so many of this and for some reason, it doesn’t work well for me. I have used it so many times, and almost done with one bottle, but not my favorite. The only reason I keep using it is because I paid for it and refuse to let go to waste! All the other items look great though! ?
I went through the same thing using every drop to get my money’s worth–yet it didn’t work well for me. There are others on the market. I switched to Miracle Blur (the oil free version) not just because of the reasonable price but it works much better with my skin texture; a tiny bit goes far and lasts long.
After a horrible experience with their may box/ customer service that JUST got resolved, I’m glad that I’ll be getting this box.
I ordered the May box and never received that or the June box, so I emailed them and they said I would be received the July box but then they charged me for the July box! Then when I complained about being charged for two boxes and not receiving anything I had to wait for another CS to step in a figure things out and refund me for the May box (which I got at a discounted rate). So annoying.
Pay attention Glossybox! This is how it should be. And Allure costs less. Ha! I just cancelled Glossybox and happy withy that decision.
I totally agree, I could of subscribe to Glossybox but I choose Allure instead, and I’m so glad I did!!!!
Me too!!!!
My mother will love this box-what a great gift! I’m so keeping the chubby stick.
are you kidding me? not to mention i know all the brand names in this box. la mer? i’m just hoping the may box isaue wont happen again. i just canceled my box from month to month and subscribed to a yera length last week. plz, i really wanna try the la mer
Holy cow!!! La Mar?!?!?!? AND Glam Glow!?!?!? I’m in subscription box heaven! I would be pretty bummed if this wasn’t one that I subscribe too, thankfully though, it is!
OMG I have been stalking your page waiting for the Allure Spoilers! Really can’t wait for this July Box!
Right I’m really excited about this months box now I just have to wait for spoilers for targets beauty box….
Fantastic box!!!!! I hope everyone gets the same contents – no substitutes. I’m also hoping that the box gets out earlier this month.
me too! cant wait!!
This looks like a great box. I’m hoping the chubby stick is in a lighter shade for summer. This box is what Glossybox should be…but is not. Once my Glossybox subscription is finished, I won’t be renewing. I am much happier with Allure.
Wow La Mer!!!! Looks like an awesome box!
I saw the picture with small items and was about to be bummed. But then I read La Mer and Glam Glow and quickly changed my mind haha. So excited!
LOOKS FAB Cannot wait to try the Glamglow and LaMer
You will not be disappointed LaMer is amazing. ….
Oooo, looks pretty good. Can’t wait! I want to try that mud mask! 🙂
Yay for La Mer, Estee Lauder and GlamGlow! Actually, the whole box looks good!
Yay! Color me happy! Looks good to me!
