BACKSTORY: I was the girl who had received her September allure box with only 4 out of the 7 items — perfume, primer, cleansing milk, and eye cream — because the Estée Lauder and mascara was missing, and the nail polish was busted. Many fits were thrown 🙁
Today I received the Estée Lauder, and the invoice inside the package had both it the nail polish listed as its contents, except next to the polish it said “BACK ORDER”… so I assume that it will arrive once they get them in. Not sure what happened with the mascara, but at least it’s something :/

I love that received the Limited-Edition Spongellé shower sponge because thanks to the full size version in my Fall FabFitFun box, i now have one for home and travel!! I also have the full size hair mask,, came in a different box, so again great to have one for home and travel. I wwill definitely use all of the products in this month’s box. Can’t wait to try the body Butter!!

I haven’t been charged yet for my October box. I’m not a new subscriber, I’ve been subscribed for about a year. Is this occurring to anyone else?

I called Friday because am still missing replacement items from last month and wasn’t charged yet either this month. She said they are awaiting spongelle that boxes are shipping late this month and they don’t charge accounts until the box is ready to ship. (Now I get charged the 30-2 every month and don’t get a box until late in the month so I know that’s wrong haha but what I was told and I’ve been with them 2yrs.

Fingers crossed that all who are subscribed get a big box of goodies and bonus items too. Ohh and missing items and bonus boxes too. Hey it’s possible. Fingers Crossed. I come to this area to see whats going on but I try not to look at what items are in the box because I love the surprise of it and I can’t get my feelings hurt. ??????????. I am just so happy that Popsuger has those Mysteryboxes again and for 25 dollars with 7 items and over a $125 price tag. Love those babies….. And my Allure box most of the time too.

I want to love Allure SO MUCH!! But I have been missing random items here and there-and I signed up TWO people who still subscribe back in April-STILL NO bonus for me.
I know April was a mess-but after calling and speaking with really nice/promises everything to just flat out snotty reps-and emails ORDERING me to “keep track of any contact with us”. Still. Nothing. Does Anyone have some tips on how to collect on my two sets of bonus items?

I have been told they were shipping my bonus box twice, never received shipping confirmation or a box. I think they just try to wear you down, the box isn’t worth the time I have into it. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with, happy I cancelled my daughter’s and my boxes.

I remember a time when I would get disappointed every time I got a dry shampoo in any beauty box. Then I randomly finally tried a few of them & LOVE dry shampoo! Not only does it give thin limp hair volume & life, it makes your hair smell amazing in between washes. Now I get totally excited anytime I get a new dry shampoo! ❤️

Looks like a great box! I love the sponge, the lotion, and the dry shampoo. I hope they do not continue to put variance in boxes! That doesn’t work for me and I will cancel!

The Tatcha and Spongelle alone make it an exciting box for me! I hope for another Klorane product other than the dry shampoo, otherwise it will go up for swaps along with the mascara. I can’t wait to smell the pear & freesia Spongelle. Sounds heavenly.
Reply
Kimberley Bosak
Even though I love the product, I also would like to see something different besides the dry shampoo from Klorane..I think I’ve now received it 3-4 times in about 9 months of membership.

Meh ?
Not too happy. Wish I can see what’s in these boxes before we get billed

Allure hasn’t charged my card yet. Is this the box all subs are getting??

I’m not so impressed this month but I’ll have to see the box in person first and try some of the products. I have been unhappy at first sight before but once I’ve tried the products ended up very happy so we will see.

Has anyone been billed for the October box yet?
Reply
Kris0129
I called Friday they said it doesn’t get billed till boxes are ready to ship and since missing the spongelle there awaiting it and will ship 3rd week of the month so won’t be billed till then (but I’ve kept the money in there cause u never know with them at all very unpredictable lately!)

Still nothing. 🙁

I still haven’t been billed. Would someone post when they actually do get billed?? Thanks!

I really wish Allure would pick a dang day and charge us on that day each month…i hate trying to figure out when to make sure their money is in my account.
Reply
Cassie
I completely agree, Raeline! It is so annoying!

I’ve contacted them a few times and been told each time that they have not billed or shipped yet and don’t expect to ship till around the middle of the month. Which is when they will be shipping. I believe it’s the sponge they are waiting on, which I’m more then happy with because it’s a pretty neat item! Also if anyone contacted Allure about the “missing” items last month (mascara and serum) I got an email saying they shipped those on the 23rd and will take 2-3 weeks, it will have been 2 weeks tomorrow so, hopefully this week.

don’t believe what they say — I’m still waiting for a broken item from my June box — I’ve contacted them many time and they just keep giving me B.S. excuses as to why they didn’t ship it yet & that “they will send it soon” — one excuse was “they had a power failure”
Shannon R.
Are they doing that for all customers or only the people that requested them? Do you think it’s too late to ask?
Becca
Thats funny. I just received a reply that said they were shipped on the 23 but should have been here already cuz it takes 7-10 days after the ship date to arrive. I’m like ok well its been 13 days. They refused to give me a tracking number though.

Mally is my new favorite mascara. Got it in a birchbox. Looks like Allure is back to great boxes!

Officially tired of the Briogeo mask. It’s been in so many boxes and with short hair, I have no use for it. Guess I’ll add this to the two I already have up for swap. That said, everything else looks pretty great. The Spongelle should be fun.

Me too! I’ve got short hair. I mean I try the masks, but they don’t really make any difference for me

Short hair don’t care! Trying it anyway…LOL

I love this mask and I have short hair too. I have psoriasis and use a medicated shampoo, I use this or another mask afterwards and it makes me feel less like I’m destroying my (color-treated) hair to save my scalp!
Janie
Just resumed my subscription once I saw this. I really hope I get this box! I’ve been wanting to try Spongelle forever but I can’t get anyone to accept my swap request on one so this might be my only chance to try it without paying full price on their site.

If you subscribed for Allure Box in October, unfortunately your first box won’t arrive till November.

I did a webchat with them a couple days ago and they told me that I would be receiving the October box.

I am in love with the rose scented spongelle from the Fab Fit Fun box and I am sooo excited there is one in the Allure box this month, I can’t wait to see what it smells like. You’ll love it!

I actually did receive a missing product the other day. It had taken so long to arrive I didn’t even remember missing it! There are a couple of items I’d like to try, but this would be my 3rd tube of the hair mask (doesn’t do anything for me), I got the dry shampoo as a substitute in another Allure box (can’t use it), and have so.many.mascaras! At least I can use everything else.

I wish I knew how to quit you, Allure. You drive me crazy with all of your drama, but your boxes are generally just too good! The FOMO is so real with this sub…
Reply
Tamara
Looks pretty good!! Love Tatcha, the scent for the Spongelle sounds great, that dry shampoo is the only one I’ve ever really liked. I don’t like that hair mask at all, but it seems pretty popular so hopefully it will swap easily. I can’t stand Doucce, but the rest makes the box worth it.

Tamara, I’d trade you the hair mask for my dry shampoo! ?
I don’t use any dry shampoo, but love that mask. Don’t like the overnight one, but this one is great. Assuming we actually get these items!!!!
Reply
Marion
YAY Spongelle! That scent sounds appealing to me, too! I’m excited!
And it looks like the Doucce shadow will click into the freematic palette that Wantable sent me. Score!

Okay I just chatted with them since I discontinued last month, they told me I would get the Oct box after I continued with them again and they also said my extra items from last month were sent off and I should get them by Friday. So let’s hope all of that happens! Lol this box looks amazing I can’t wait.

I’m really looking forward to this one, but I’m really hoping for the body butter instead of the hand creme. Would also prefer something other than dry shampoo, but it’s ok.
