UPDATE #2 – Allure Beauty Box August 2016 FULL SPOILERS + Coupon!

Are boxes late? I haven’t even gotten a tracking number yet! I had my box this time last month-

FOR ALL WHO GOT THE ELF BRUSH….I used mine today and I am pleasantly surprised. This little brush (it reminds me of a skunk tail LOL) is incredible. I used it for applying my yellow powder. It picks up powder amazingly well and deposits it on the skin so smoothly and flawlessly. And its the perfect size for targeting particular areas on the face. In the box booklet, it states it should only be used for cream and liquid product, not powders. But the brush pouch states that it CAN be used with powder. And it does very well. I imagine it would work wonderfully for contouring, highlighting, and bronzing. So before you toss it aside feeling as though you got ripped off, give it a try. I’m so glad I did. By the way, I ordered a mini glow tonic from pixi (I really wanted to try it!) and came across eyeliner brighteners! I ordered one! ….can’t wait to try it.

I got mine today and got the Mally so I’m happy to try some new makeup. The shampoo smells good so that’s something to look forward to just to switch things up.
I like the box this month but is it just me or are they starting to look like every other box? I have always liked that many of the brands and products were new to me so along with the value this was probably my favorite. Maybe I’m getting burnout after 2 years.
Also, if anyone got the Burberry sample-what was it like?

My box arrived today. I never received a tracking number. I received the Burberry base, a sample size that I can pick up for free at my local department store. Tiny free sample or $25 Mallywand…that is a fair replacement ?

I got my box today. No shipping info. Nothing even on my account page. I got the ELF brush as well. Does pur-lisse even have a product for oily skin? This is the 3rd time I’ve received this and I can’t use it. If it was for oily skin, I’d be kind of okay with this box, but it is a complete bust for me. I hate sticking around with Allure just hoping they will go back to being this great box everyone said it was, which is what made me subscribe. Nothing about this 4 month experience has been adequate enough to “stick with them”. Goodbye, Allure!

I got the dreaded brush.. Couldn’t wait for the mally. Big disappointment.

Oh YAY! YIPPEE! HOORAY! I GOT MY BOX AND IT’S THE BEST EVER!!!! AN ELF BRUSH!!!!! oh wait……I could a bought that at Walmart…..nevermind…smh…

Got the elf brush. Kind of annoyed but resigned to it, since I expected I would. It’s the one thing I can’t use, nor can anyone else I know, so off to GoodWill it goes. I like the rest of the stuff though, so whatever. If I cancel (and I might) it won’t be because of that, however. It will be because of all the issues they have had, and the awful CS. I have yet to have a drama free box. I just don’t know that it’s worth the hassle. If I do cancel though, I’m definitely going to keep an eye on them. Hopefully once they get it together, this will become a great box again, and I’ll resubscribe.

I got my Allure box today. Never did get shipping info. In my box:
pur-lisse- blue lotus moisturizer
supergoop- setting mist
freeze 24 7- anti age eye serum
garnier – shampoo and conditioner
metalic blue WET brush
cargo swimables in pebble beach
Burberry fresh glow
My book has all my products in it.

I am happy with my box.

I got the Burberry, I would have gotten more use out of anything else but of course I got the luminizer. LOL, guess it will be saved for my upcoming cruise to give me a little shimmer on my 1st ever solo. Otherwise I like everything I got, nothing should go to waste which is good.

Just so everyone knows, the shampoo and conditioner are “bonus” items, and dont count toward the value. They aren’t even listed in the booklet. Do you like free stuff? Because that’s exactly what those are. I wish people wouldn’t complain about that because it makes me think we are all less likely to receive bonus items when people complain.

I got my box today and it has a $121 value. That’s crazy (yes, I did get the Mally, which I think is fair since I don’t always get the best – ie. I got the horrid $45 glossybox last month). Even without the Mally, your boxes are worth $100. This sub is amazing.

Much to my surprise, I received my box today. No shipping notice at all…and no Mally 🙁
I got the ELF. I am so disappointed. The wet brush is nice. The Cargo liner is just ok b/c its not retractable. The setting mist is nice. The Purlisse is just another moisturizer I will use on my body b/c it breaks out my face. I look forward to trying the eye freeze serum, but it will have to wait considering the tons of eye serums in my stock pile..LOL. And the Whole Blends….no comment. I wanted to try the Pixi face tonic, but oh well. I guess I will experiment with my new Elf brush, and I will get a brightening eye liner elsewhere.

As I expected I got the elf brush. I am done.

I got my box today. And I got the ELF brush. I’m not against the brand, I have some ELF products I use. But I did feel like the Mally eye brightener was played up as an item I would be receiving. I’m on the fence about cancelling. I’ve cancelled BB over their point fiasco and picked up Play. Very pleased with that switch. I dropped Ipsy and Boxycharm a year ago and picked this up as my replacement and had been happy. Except I had a broken item in June that took a dozen emails to get sorted out. And CS was so rude. They would state include all previous emails (which I had) and it just got ugly. I guess I will look at September spoilers and go from there. But I’m glad to know I’m in the same boat as others, the switch wasn’t cool.

I picked up my box today. I didn’t get the Mall, just the Burberry which is tiny and I did get it before as a 100 pt sample from Sephora or someplace months ago … maybe in 2014. The brush looks ok but what’s the deal with the shampoo? I feel like the biz has taken a nosedive, I’m still annoyed about that broken Kardashian compact (why the heck does my auto correct recognize Kardashian???). Ewww

Got my box today. I got the Pixie tonic instead of the Mally, which was actually the alternate I wanted if I didn’t get the Mally, but still not happy about getting a substitute period. My biggest problem is how tiny everything is!! Not including the brush(which I don’t care about at all!), I can literally hold everything I received in one hand! So not impressed! I’ve suspended my shipments, we’ll see if they step up their game here. Just going to be happy with my Beauty Fix and Ipsy for now. With the occassional Boxycharm, of course, lol!

Haven’t received a shipping confirmation or my box yet. Only my third box. Might have to cancel and spend my money elsewhere.

Got my box without receiving the tracking email first, which is odd to me cuz I always get a tracking email ever since I subbed back in May. ?
Anyway, I got the burberry substitute… Not really happy about it since I really wanna try the mally product (looks interesting) and not to mention the value discrepancy. The sample is 5 ml, worth equal to $8. Well, at least I didn’t get the brush, which I totally wouldn’t have any use for.
Really hope Allure won’t ever pull this trick again in the September or any upcoming boxes. It absolutely sucks to get the short straw ?

I’m going to give them one more box and then I’m cancelling. Ever since they ousted the original managing editor, the magazine (and everything related to them) has gone downhill fast.

Are we being punished for May’s shortage fiasco?

I did receive a complimentary box from Allure in May since they ran out of the Foreo box… but wow! Very disappointed. I did not subscribed to receive travel size Garnier AND an ELF brush. It’s insulting to everyone who was put through problems the last few months!

Does anyone know how to cancel? Can I do it over live chat? I am not looking to speaking to the representatives directly haha.

Thanks!

I’ve been away on vacation so I don’t know if I’ve received my box it not. I’ve been a subscriber since 2014. I’ve give through their assorted chaos over the years but I’m really feeling like this sub has fallen off. I guess we’re all going to have to quit to encourage them to get back on track!

I subscribed back in July, really hoping for That box but missed out. Needless to say I was less than thrilled when I saw what was coming in this month’s box. Now to see the Mally product being substituted, this is a real dud. The worst is that brush, wow. Too bad…I saw such great reviews for this box, I’ll give it one more month then I might have to cancel.

I got the pixi toner which has a $2 target coupon that expired in Nov 2015!!! Seriously, first not everyone got the Mally, and now they are sending old stuff. I just unsubscribed the box, I would rather not pay $15 for old stuff 🙁

I received my box today and I did receive the Mally product. I also got everything else in the picture. This is my second box. I’m not posting to brag, only to let others know that there is hope you may get it and you don’t have to be a long term subscriber.

I got mine today, I’m in NH. I’ve been a subscriber since February and I got the Burberry. Initially, I was very excited about the Mally product but Burberry is a favorite brand of mine so a chance to try it is awesome!!!
