No, Liz mentioned in the August thread that she wasn’t able to obtain the July box so she couldn’t review it.

I just received my first Allure box, the items were nice but very small sample sizes. I thought they offered deluxe and sometimes full sized products. Is this box the norm?

I still have not received my box. I got an email with shipping info on 7/14. All the shipping statuses are from 7/9 (pre-shipment info). Post office says it has not been handed off to them. I contacted allure. First time the CS rep was, we’ll say ‘curt’, with me. She said there had been a delay. She can’t tell me when it will ship, just that it will be soon. I subbed on May 7th. Got my may box after being told I wasnt. I haven’t had any issues since then. I want/will give them several more months, but all the negativity that many of you have experienced from CS makes me very leary.

I talked to CS today – and though very nice, she informed me that they had a lot of boxes that appear to have been lost or damaged in shipment so if yours got stuck around the 9th (as several have) you should inquire about a refund — and you may still get the box though I’m not getting my hopes up 🙁 Kind of bummed. I know everyone is excited about the La Mer, but I recently fell in love withe GlamGlow (I got it recently in ipsy), and the Clinique stick and primer I really wanted to try. Ok, I wanted the whole box, BOO.

I have a feeling that Allure consistently oversells and takes turns “absorbing” the oversell between the old subscribers and new subscribers. This month looks like old subscribers took the hit. Sadly, I will totally stick it out because I know when I get the boxes it’s totally worth the $15.

Oh man! I’m beyond disappointed. I’ve been wanting to try glam glow for SO long. This would have been the first sample I’ve ever received (and I sub to many boxes). I really do wish they’d be more forthcoming with their news to customers. I shouldn’t have to ask for anything, they should tell me what they’re going to do for me… ahhh, this box sub is such a conundrum!

News on the Bobbi Brown sample: so I went in to Nordstrom’s today with my little Allure packet. Unfortunately, the actual Bobbi Brown person was not there today, so one of the other beauty counter ladies tried to find it. She couldn’t, so she called over the beauty section manager, who also couldn’t find it lol. They finally took down my name and address with the promise to mail it to me when they found the samples. Although I forgot to give my phone number, so I have no way to really follow up on that promise. They did confirm (overheard them talking) that they had been briefed on the allure promo, so there’s that. TL;DR- Nordstrom couldn’t find the samples, so they are going to mail one to me (supposedly). Hope this helps y’all some! P.S. They were all really nice! And the one beauty counter lady told me not to hesitate to ever come in because they all love giving out samples.

Thanks for the update! I didn’t get there today – darn work got in the way! I hope to make it there in the next day or 2 and will also share my experience. I’m surprised the Bobbi Brown counter didn’t give you some alternative samples to compensate for the hassle.

Reply ButtonReply

Kendall

No prob! I can’t wait to see if others have success. And as for extra samples, I think that A) they were all so flustered by the situation that they may not have even thought about it, and I’m too polite (read: wimpy) to ask for it; and B) since none of them were actually part of the Bobbi Brown counter, I don’t know if they were allowed to give out other samples? I don’t honestly know how department stores work in that aspect. I do think the experience would have been different if the actual employee had been there though. And there is still the chance they may and something extra when they send the sample.

Tj

I’m pretty disappointed also. Probably one of the worst boxes I’ve received from them. I just can’t decide because I usually love Allure, hoping this is just an off month :/

Received my box today and it was missing the La Mer cream….sigh…..going to contact now.

So since the box sold out CS offered a replacement item….only like 5 items on the list so I chose an Estée Lauder overnight repair eye serum. Disappointed and will give Allure one more chance before I cancel. And there isn’t a Norstrom near me so I won’t get the bonus item.

For anyone worried about receiving the July box, I ordered July 1st (as soon as I saw the spoilers) and I got my box today! Yay!

I received a tracking info on Thursday and received my box on Friday last week, lol. I chatted with CS earlier last week and I cannot remember exactly, but she said that they were having system issue or something and that I will receive the tracking info later that week. I said thank you for your help today and she didn’t even say “Thank you for contacting Allure or Is there anything else I can help you with?” and just ended our chat! They definitely need to hire an experienced CS from Birchbox! I am not sure what to think of the box as it only had 5 small items and we need to go to Nordstrom counter to get 6th sample from Bobbie Brown. The closest one is 40-45 minutes drive from me which is not worth the trip. Anyone can comment on Glamglow mask? I am in early 40s and for the first time in my life I started to feel my skin is getting drier than before (I used to have normal to slightly combination). I am concerned if this mask will dry my skin, so I should just use only on my T-zone or not at all. Not sure why my skin is getting dry, but it can be the Foreo and I might have used it either too frequently (even it claims to be gentle to use everyday) or too long…

Yes…the Glamglow mask is for oily/combo skin. It is strong but does a great job at deep cleaning pores. After using the mask, you will need to apply a moisturizer. Although your facial skin is dry, you will still benefit from the mask b/c with dry skin comes dead skin cells that need to be cleared away. If you find it overpowering, you could always use it as a spot treatment or partial mask, like you mentioned. This is a type of mask that I would use maybe once a month. I prefer a gentler mask such as Lancôme’s White Clay Mineral Mask. Hope that helps. Good luck 🙂

Kay

Jill – thank you for your comment! My nose area is unusually dry today to the point I feel painful… so I will use it on my T-zone once I feel more comfortable. I am used to hydrating sheet masks, so it is good to know this type of mud mask should be used less frequently for my skin type! Thanks!!!

Jill

I used my Glam Glow Supermud mask tonight. It is strong and effective….stings a bit at first, then refreshingly cools, and dries tight. (20 minutes was sufficient for me)…reminds me of Borghese. The smell is overwhelmingly botanical, but calms as it dries. I gently placed a wet hot cloth on it to soften it before wiping it off and rinsing thoroughly. My face feels soft, smooth, and clean. I used the whole sample in one application to feel the full effect, but if you use it very sparingly you might get 2 applications. I did like it a lot and will consider buying it in the future.

My box came today and boy, you guys weren’t kidding!!!! Those are some seriously small sample sizes!!! The La Mer and GlamGlow are pretty much one use size and the others aren’t much bigger. I have had Allure a little over a year and this is the worst box ever, despite the higher end brands. Allure is usually one of my favorite boxes so I hope that this isn’t the beginning of a downward trend. Also, the Nordstrom sample is a bust……I don’t live anywhere near a store.

Thanks for making me feel better about missing out on a box! Can’t believe I forgot to change the expiration date on my credit card. I wonder who got Conde Nast call center contract? I am checking via Internet and social media to find Conde Nast CEO name. I got a really sweet one but the comments on this board alone imply training and politeness are lacking! I guess Beauty Bar must have been really horrid. They were customer service when I came on board.
For those of you who don’t shop Nordstrom, big Semi annual sale that includes makeup and beauty items runs from July 14 (with Nordstrom card) or July 22 w/o thru 31st. Feels like boxes were designed to run with sale for those who got them.

I got all excited when this spoiler appeared and signed up.
Then got sad seeing the comments.
So imagine my surprise to get a shipping notice a couple of days ago.
Do you think I’ll get July’s box?

Steffy

I’m wondering this too. I joined about a week ago and just got a shipping notice the other day. Based on all the snafus with these guys I wasn’t expecting anything until August, at least, but if it’s on they way now as they claim, and I’m assuming its for July, I’m happy!

I did get July’s box!
Color me thrilled!

Got my box today! Everything is there and intact. The brochure booklet also includes a free coupon for a sixth sample item on the back page: Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Cushion Compact w/SPF 35…available @ Nordstrom until August 16…..an Allure Beauty Box exclusive. 🙂

I’m interested in the Bobbi Brown sample. I hope to get to Nordstroms on Monday…. And I hope it’s really in stock!

If anyone has already gone to get the sample – please do share about your experience!

There is no coupon. It just says “swing by the Bobbi Brown counter at any Nordstrom store before August 16 for this Allure Beauty Box member exclusive.” I’m sure that the Nordstrom employee will give them to whoever. No Nordstrom near me.

When I opened the box the samples looked so tiny! But then I saw how expensive most of the brands were ….eh. Mixed opinion–even if I love the samples there is no way I would ever pay $100+ an ounce for something. It’s kind of fun to try the really high end stuff, but I think I’d rather get larger samples of more reasonably priced brands.

Jill

They are so tiny…but cute! And there is no way I will pay that price either…LOL
But its so fun to try these products1

I agree completely! It’s kind of sad that I get more excited about my Target boxes than my Allure boxes.

I’ve been waiting and waiting for my July box. It was mailed on July 8th and it hasn’t moved from YORK, PA 17402… I love in Florida and it’s the 16th.. What is going on with Allure? I don’t know if this subscription is even worth the frustration anymore… Also, the CS rep deactivated my account for some reason. After I contacted them about a broken item. I don’t know why The Allure CS reps can do stuff like this, Being rude , not helpful and very disrespectful to paying customers is absurd.

For those of you who are disappointed in the size of the samples, check out Liz’s July Beauty Fix review. For $10 more than Allure, they really hit it out of the park!!! I have subscribed to BF for the last year and I am always pleased with the value of each box. In my opinion, it is THE box for skin care (with frequent hair and occasional makeup products). I love my Allure and don’t plan on ever canceling, but Beauty Fix is consistently a better box IMO. I get BOXYCHARM and Ipsy for my makeup subscriptions, Target and Walmart for drugstore items and Sephora because……well, it is Sephora!!!!

Yes!!!! I just resubbed to Beauty Fix. I love all of the full size products this month. For $10 more than Allure – you get such an incredible value!!!

How did you get Beauty Fix for 10$? I see 25$.

Heather

I signed up on June 30th and just got an e-mail saying my July box has shipped, so I’m assuming that means that all of you who signed up in April, May, or June and haven’t gotten one yet will be getting this one!
Otherwise, I’m sorry for apparently jumping the line. I hope that’s not the case. I was prepared to wait and I’m hoping the fact that I’m getting one means everyone is!

I hope so!!! I emailed CS about my account. I have no account information, no address or payment history. They had no problems taking my money. I’m annoyed!!

I got mine yesterday (I was actually super surprised because I was expecting something else and assumed the box was that. Then I opened up and was like “wha…? Ooh, cool!”). Lol I got the box before I got my tracking info, just like a lot of people said tends to happen. I have to say, I am just so on the fence about this box. Last month I was so angry about everything that happened, and wasn’t super excited about the box. This month I was very zen about the lateness because I was excited for what we were getting. But then, the products were so freaking tiny! I guess because they are such high priced products? But I feel like even the deluxe sized items I get when ordering for Sephora tend to be way bigger, and those are “free”. I dunno, I think I will wait one more month, as that will make 3 boxes, before I decide if I will stay or not. I’ve been contemplating dropping Sephora play too, and been eyeing up BoxyCharm. They seem like they have really good bang for the buck and I like the idea of full sized.

Got my box today!!! I didn’t expect the samples to be….so tiny. 🙁 My glamglow mask was not even close to half filled. I barely had enough for one use. 🙁 🙁 That pretty much deflated my excitement about this box.

Omg I have the worst luck. Subscribed May 20 and FINALLY got a tracking notice to get my first box! Shipped out July 8 and then … no movement since July 9. Nothing. One Stop Mailing said it was probably lost, and Allure said they could refund my money but no replacement box (obviously because they probably don’t have any more). I was so looking forward to this box ugh

Mine was also sitting for days, it went nowhere in 7 days (8th-15th), but it is now on the move and I am supposed to get it on Wed.

Well, mine departed the partner shipping facility on July 9 but never made it to the post office. The partner facility said it shouldn’t take more than three days to get from there to my city. Possible the post office never scanned it, though.

Mine also appears stuck on July 9th. I want to say this is not unusual for mine, but guess we will see….

I have said it and I will say it again…. I am in ❤ with the Allure box more then most but I cancelled like 4 days ago and it broke my heart. I have had such a hard time since April and it just got so much worse. I would of stayed if the were truthful and said what was going on and the steps they are taking to try to fix things, even slowly… But I hope all enjoy and I hope it was worth the wait…..the not knowing.

Well I just logged into my account and i hit track shipment and I thought it was showing me last month but noooooo my box is gonna be here today. I am happy and angry at the same time… I feel like I am in a bad relationship and know it but I still love Allure and that dam subscription box. I know someone out there in box addicted land knows and feels what dishing out here right? WoW

Mattie

Yes, as long as you don’t have any unforeseen issues with billing etc.. Just don’t expect a predictable shipping cycle yet because the past couple of months have been irregular or atleast for me. Has something to do with a combination of holidays and issues with Allure products so even though I know that I will eventually receive my boxes from Allure, I no longer know when.

Welcome to the club. I love Allure boxes and have never been disappointed!

I agree, I have been subscribed since January and love allure, eventually the boxes come and I have enjoyed every single one of them when they got here. I have never contacted customer service about anything, everything has always eventually worked out.

Tanya

Dang it… likely no box since I activated a chip card and forgot date changed on expiration date. Of course, don’t have card with me so we’ll see. LOL…it would be the “LaMer” box… of course. I have not missed a box in 27 months.

Oh man!!! Allure is my favorite box. I truly hope they get together because I would be so sad if they go out of business?. They always give one luxury brand sample a month but this month the brands were unbelievable!

I also signed up in april to get what was it the may box that had the mini foreo? When i signed up the banner said i would get the may box…never got it and came back here and read the comments on it and everyone else had the same happen except they had called CS and was told boxes were over sold and they would get june box.. then people started to be told they would get the next AVAILABLE box..meaning you have no idea when you would get a box… I finally called middle of june to see when i would get a box and said mine was at the warehouse… it finally came… then a week later i got a letter in the mail from allure stating my order could not be processed and i owed $0.00

I then called the number on the paper and the man looked it up and said that was odd then said it was actually a free gift set for the mishap that happened.. I don’t owe anything and I should get the free gift.. I got it, and it was I think 3 sample of basically all face things id never use.

So i got june and july is on its way.. i actually cancelled the box i thought before july so i wouldnt be charged.. evidently they shipped it anyways as i cant login to see if i was charged in my bank. The only thing ill use in this box is the clinique lippie.

I am going to cancel birchbox tomorrow. I redeemed all my points as they changed their points system and its terrible.

i still have ipsy and will keep them as i like their points system and their items to redeem points for, i just got the too faced full size concealer by redeeming points and currently they have a ton of hourglass item for 1000 points.

i also get the walmart box
