Allure Beauty Box Review – December 2016 + $5 Coupon

I got the Kevin Murphy hydrate me wash and was so impressed I’ve completely switched to that shampoo line, total luxury for your hair. The moisturizer made me break out for some reason, which typically doesn’t happen. The rest of the products were just ok, but the shampoo find was worth subscribing!

I used to have this box and dumped it. I resubscribed recently because the January previews looked so great! I like more makeup in my box, the main reason I dropped this sub. It’s usually like this, with non-makeup products and even when they do give you makeup, it’s usually not a very fun product. So, while I am a little disappointed at the proportions of this box, the stuff is actually pretty nice!

The Ocean Gardenia hand cream smells like Pez. The scent is kind of strong, but the cream works well and there are worse things I could smell than Pez. The lotions are nice. I use the highlighter as an eyeshadow, like I almost always do with highlighters. Haven’t tried the hair volumizer yet – I already have thick hair but I’ll give it a shot over the weekend, in case it makes my hair too huge.

I loved this box. For someone who wears very little makeup and has spent too much time in the sun in my youth, a box filled with skin care products is crack to me. I do agree the ocean gardenia scent on the hand cream is a bit much scent wise, but I use it night and have not woken up with my head stuff so that’s a win. My sixth item was kevin murphy anti-gravity sooo nice! adds great volume to my hair as a smoother when I blow dry or curl my fine straight hair. Face stuff was brilliant…declaring undying love for the decollete cream.

I got this box. Only complaint is the hand lotion scent is overwhelming and does not dissipate with time.

I looked forward to this box, but am disappointed. The hand cream sounded so promising, but instead it smells like a cheap gift shop. I received the Ocean Gardenia and my sister received the Peony. Both smell cheap, and unfortunately the scent lingers. The brow highlighter sounded interesting, but my eyeglasses hide my brows. The brush cleaner is nice.

I got SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense as my sixth item. I am happy with this box.

I got Avene body oil (50ml) instead of the Klorane or other listed “may vary” items. Body oil isn’t really my thing, but it’s a decent comparable variation. *ahem glossybox*

I clean my sponges and brushes with a mixture of Dawn dish soap and olive oil. The olive oil conditions the brush while they are being cleaned.

I just subscribed back in October so I have only received the November and December boxes so far. I am a bit disappointed to find both boxes are overwhelmingly creams/lotions and shampoo. I suppose I thought there would be more makeup involved. Not sure I will continue my subscription into January.

Wow. This box looks really good! I’m kind of regretting not buying one 😢
The best way to clean beauty blender is with bar soap! It comes super clean, super fast!

Great review, as always.

I ordered a beauty thrills from allure and my package was missing one of the items. I’ve contacted them three times now and they tell me it’s been taken care of as they would send me a replacement (With an approximate 4 week time frame), but it’s literally been like 10 plus weeks and I have gotten nothing. I have been getting nowhere with customer service. It’s not the end of the world, but I feel if I paid for something that they advertised they should deliver in some way. Has anybody else had trouble with Allure in this regards?

This was the best Allure box for me in a long time. I’ve been hoarding that highlighter crayon and am thrilled to have another. It’s the only thing I use for my inner eye highlight now; it’s subtle but effective. My sixth item was the Avene body oil in an impressive size. Overall just really pleased with the items and sizes.

Does anyone happen to know when the Allure Beauty Thrills box is supposed to ship? I ordered the Fall box last year, and I swear I had it by now this time last year. Thanks!

Ok, someone please help? What is the brow product for? Does it go ON your brows or under them? It is also for hi-lighting other parts of the face? I feel dumb for asking, but I need some direction pretty please. 😀

Didn’t like the shampoo I got in this box and the last. I couldn’t get over the smell of the mask in the last box yuk. I use olive oil and dawn dish soap equal parts to clean my beauty blender. Works better. The highlight is ok But I’ve got a lot of them. I haven’t used the neck cream yet. I’ve got to use up my eye cream before I open this one. I got both boxes a week apart. I know I’ll never but that brand of masks ever. Smelled like rotten orange juice.

I got my box today, and I received the Kevin Murphy shampoo instead of the Klorane eye-makeup remover. The weather is so cold where I live today that I honestly thought I received a conditioner instead of a shampoo because it was so thick, and didn’t budge when I turned the bottle upside down. Ha! I even had to consult the insert to confirm what type of hair product I received. I’ve received Kevin Murphy products in past Allure boxes, and I’m so happy to get another one again! (although, I’m not a fan of the packaging)

My variation had the Avenue body oil, I can’t wait to try it out! For once I feel like I got a variation product I am happy with 😊. The Kevin Murphy products are great, but I despise receiving shampoo OR conditioner in my subbies.

That cover model’s eyebrows — yikes! The bushy eyebrow trend has officially gone too far!

why are you posting the packaging boxes alongside the products? It looks like there is twice as many more items as there actually is. Very confusing and misleading.

The box seemed just “ok” at first but now having it in my hands, I’m really pleased with it. I got the SkinCeuticals blemish and age defense and I’m super excited to try it! Got the hand cream scent I wanted (citrus, yay!!), just over all really happy! Thanks for the great review 🙂
