I’m kinda disappointed that there are THREE creams out of five. I may have been setting myself up for disappointment because I’ve been assuming it will be a special box because its holiday season. But seriously? Three creams?? Seriously??
I’m am all about the body creams I love them but it doesn’t sit right with me when its the majority of the box. It you look on the Allure sight its like they are saying sorry that these picks suck.
Like the neck cream they said, We know its ridiculous to pay money for cream just for the neck, but giving you this cream will make you pay more attention to that area. Oh and the eyebrow highlighter, you don’t have to just use it on your brow bone, put it anywhere you want! What I translated from those messages were, we know these suck, but you can make more uses out of this than what its intended for.
I assumed since it was holiday season they would have a lot of people sign up so they would want to make it a crazy good box so they want to stay. That was my logic. Now my logic is, holy s*** we have so many boxes to do so lets do some lesser valued items. Shame! That mystery item better be AMAZING.
I also think adding the beauty blender cleanser was kinda bad. No one really needs that you can use regular makeup remover for that. Also, I didn’t even own a beauty blender until two days ago. It was free with a purchase. I love the thing a lot but I never would have bought it myself. I would be much more disappointed if I didn’t own a beauty blender…
Its only 15 a month so I’m not enraged like I’ve seen a lot of people. Its just that beauty boxes are so exciting to me. We don’t have much money so I can’t splurge on beauty products like I really want to. When I found beauty boxes my life changed. Last two allure beauty boxes blew my mind. My absolute favorite was the Tatcha Indigo silk body butter. It makes me feel like a princess when in reality I’m a mommy with no time to herself. I couldn’t stop putting it on my skin and I even spent a hell of a price to get some more.
This is the kinda feeling I want. That one item that changes everything.

Klorane Floral Make Up remover. =)

No envy I received a lovely body oil that smells like grass,but I wouldn’t have enjoyed a floral scent on my face at all

I’m kind of bummed that there’s only one makeup item in this box, but I do use skin care products. But $10 for one ounce of hand cream? Reminds me of one of my all time favorite lines, from the movie Working Girl, while Joan Cusack and Melanie Griffith’s characters are looking through the closet of Sigourney Weaver’s character, and Joan says of one dress with the price tag still on it, “Six thousand dollars? It’s not even leather!”
This will be my first experience with the Allure box. I hadn’t planned on getting it after reading a lot of comments about people being disappointed lately. But the Better Than Black Friday of six months for $10 each instead of $15 with no commitment roped me in. $10 is easy to say Yes to, because, you know, it’s only ten bucks, right? That’s one good lunch, or a movie, or a box of makeup.
I might get a November box since I placed my order on November 23rd. I like the December box better.

You read 6 months too? When I signed up for the $10 deal, I swear it said 6 months. Now it says 4 months!
Reply
Kimberly B
Aha! 6 months was the Better Than Black Friday deal. 4 months was Cyber Monday. On the MSA page for BTBF, it now reads
“The Black Friday deal is over – but there is still a chance to get the Cyber Monday deal! Use this link to get your first four months for only $10 a box! (Regularly $15 a box.) And the best part? You don’t have to pay for 4 months upfront! It’s just $10 a month for the next 4 months! (You aren’t committed to the 6 months.)”
So it appears that Liz was replacing all the 6’s with 4’s and just forgot the last one 🙂
Kimberly B
OMG I’m certain it was 6! I might still have the post in my inbox, I will go look. Sad to say, from what I’ve heard about this box, I’m not super surprised that they are trying to change it.

I was hoping that there would be more makeup products, but at least it’ll be Christmas soon and I can use everything except for the highlighter as stocking stuffers!

The December box will be my first. Will all of the spoiler items really be in the box. Or does Allure change the items?? Thanks for any replies. 👀

Exactly and one bonus Item. I got Klorane make up remover. The brow highlighter with smudger is the BOMB!

All of the items should be in the box.

A box with items I’ve never tried. Yay! However I do have lots of handcreams and highlighters. But from companies I’ve never tried. It’s a win for me for $10.

I’m thinking this is my last month of Allure. Yes the value is great… for some. I’ve always gotten the very short end of the stick in product selections. And the two bonus boxes they owe me have never showed, despite several very productive encounters with customer service. For only $6/mo more, Boxycharm is well worth the money and exceeds all expectations.

Everything looks good to me. I thought I saw somewhere that the cleaning thing could be used to clean makeup off clothes, but don’t try it until you read the directions.
Does Allure give anything extra in the December box? How about for your birthday month? What if your birthday is Christmas Eve?
Reply
Luna
I don’t think they give anything extra on your birthday month. At least I’ve never gotten anything… but then again I’ve always gotten the short-end of the stick when it comes to the bonus items they’ve sent this year. 🙁

About a $55 value so far, and that’s with out the bonus item!! Not to bad for a $10 box.

Oooooh, a surprise item? So far I haven’t tried any of the products in this box. I do have a have blender so the cleanser is welcome. I just hope it is not Purlisse.
Reply
monah
The cleanser should be the Beauty Blender brand one
Reply
Luna
I think she meant that she hopes the surprise item isn’t from Purlisse. But, I could have read that wrong. That would be funny if it was. But, they’ve been pretty good at upsetting people every month this year, so I’ll believe a bonus product will actually be sent when I get it (even if a spoiler for that bonus product comes out). I swear I’m not a cynical person… I just keep my expectations low with Allure so I can be pleasantly surprised when they follow through. 🙂

Decided to give Allure another try with the $10 deal. This box looks great! I’m getting my first Beauty Blender from one of the Birchbox kits I bought on deal earlier this week, so I’m glad to have the cleanser. Also, really looking forward to the hand and neck cream!

I got a shipping notification today. Technically I signed up in November. So is it probably the notification for the November box I am getting? Just curious. Kind of hoping for the nail polish variation if it is.

Linda Camacho
Me too… and i was hoping Dec would be my 1st month so i imediatly put my account on “vacation” hoping to start it up later, but no such luck.
Now Idk if i should extend the hold until january…this looks like a good box and probably would have loved it as my 1st box, but considering Im getting november, I want to get a GREAT box…not just good 😑 so um second guessing how much I really like this box after all.. 🤔

Just signed up! I have a love/hate with allure but I’m loving that the items are different than the usual boxes lately. Good value and fun new things to try. Don’t know if they can ever top that foreo box but I’ll give it a shot again.

This will be my first month with Allure. I’ve never have gotten any of this products before in a box or bag. I will use everything. Birchbox sent products I didn’t use and I gave them to family and friends. Very excited!

Ragan
It’s not the most exciting box in the world, but I paid $10 through one of the promos posted here last week and it is certainly much better than the Birchboxes I was getting before I quit. So I am happy. (Also I should really learn how to do my brows.)

I really recommend Anastasia Dipbrow! I’m a rookie, but my browsing rock with this stuff!

It’s a highlighter for the brow/eye area

The 6th item will probably be a “surprise” scent of Bvlgari Omnia. :^)

I’m happy getting mini’s. I think they are cute and look nice on a shelf in my bathroom. I really don’t care about scent. The mini’s are much better than vials, and I have more of them and I don’t subscribe to sephora

I don’t use a Beauty Blender, so I don’t need the cleanser, but I imagine it will be pretty swappable. I don’t use brow products, either. But I am looking forward to trying the neck product.

I don’t use a Beauty Blender either, but I’ve always used any samples of that cleanser on my makeup brushes. It works pretty well!

The cleanser would work for cleaning brushes too 🙂

you can use it for cleaning regular makeup brushes too

Where’s the rest of it? This is the lightest box ever
Reply
Sarah v
How is it light? We already have 5 guarenteed items and a bonus 6th one. Don’t see how that’s light lol. That’s the same as it’s been almost every month. Sometimes we get a 7th but this is absolutely average for them not light lol. Unless you meant actual weight wise but that wouldn’t make sense either as even by weight this is average for allure boxes.
Reply
monah
While there may be a few times they have 7 items, Allure boxes are 6 items, so the amount of products is on average rather than “light”
Reply
Jennifer
I agree. Very light for this to be a “December” box. My sub is up in Feb or March, I don’t think that I will re-sub. Not happy with the last few months! The then there is the varying priced last item I’m sure. I like boxes that are the same for everyone.
Reply
Sandy
I’m thinking of stopping this sub as well. I’ve given away the past few boxes. This is mostly creams and cleansers.
