I got both my January and February box yesterday. I didn’t have any variants from what Liz posted… and I’m ok with that. I was out of a good mascara so if this one is anything halfway decent, then I’m a happy camper. These are my first boxes with them so I don’t have enough anything to compare to, but they seem great. I was more excited with this one than my Glossybox that’s coming.

I wonder what the variants will be….

Got the January box a few days ago, and am not impressed. Thank goodness for the dry shampoo saving the day, the rest was rubbish. The two boxes prior to this I loved and use/used almost everything they sent so I’m not usually so cranky, trust.
Gotta say, I’m stoked for the February box, I fell in love with Red Flower from the lotion sample in the December box so can’t wait to try that candle! The rest looks fantastic as well.

I also received a broken eye palette in my January box on 1/25. It was my first experience with customer service since I joined Allure two years ago. She was very accommodating and I received an entire new January box on February 1st. I’ve read a lot of horror stories about their customer service on this post but I would rate my experience 5 ⭐️!

I really have been loving my Allure, it will definitely be kept once I begin to dropping the axe on a couple of my subs. However, I’m not thrilled about receiving a candle or mascara. Seriously a candle? And I can’t wear mascara due to a bad dog attack, but luckily I only get them sporadically.
Last month they didn’t ship my dry shampoo and I believe that I’m one of the five people who LOVE dry shampoo. I reached out and they are supposedly sending me out a new one. Apparently their customer service isn’t stellar so fingers crossed I’ll see my shampoo in the next months. Overall though Allure, Sephora, and Julep have been my favorites thus far.

I follow up every 2-3 weeks until I get the item(s)…. I got a broken eye shadow this month. They acted like they had to fill all the regular orders first, so I assume I won’t get it until I contact them 1-2 more times…
I love candles (another weakness), but I hope it is a good size. I have enough mascara for like 2+ years and I switch out every 2-3 months…

If you don’t get a replacement…try this trick. Put a couple drops of rubbing alcohol into the eyeshadow, allow to dry once you’ve pushed the product back into place with a clean finger and wallah – it’s back to new. I know it sucks to receive a broken one but at least this way, you can use it while you wait for the replacement.
Monique
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll definitely keep on them.
I’ve heard the stories of their dreadful customer service.

My box was so sad… so I cancelled. Instead, I decided to spend my $5 on a monthly 4-sheet mask box @ FaceTory. (I love sheet masks!)

Disregard my last post! I meant to post my comment on Walmart Box. I loved my Allure BB. Sorry! (I think I need a cuppa coffee…LOL)

How did you find out what’s in your box? This post says there are variations in everyone’s box? Does it show on allure site?

Does anyone know, if you subscribe before the end of the month will you get the January or February box?

I signed up January 2 and revived the December box. I would sign in if you can and use the live chat or email them. They can be a bit shady with the sign up timing. I really loved last months box and ended up liking the my December one too.

*recieved, my nemesis spellcheck strikes again.

If you subscribe in January even on the last day, you’ll get the January one which was a really good box too! I subscribed on the 31st of December and thought I would be getting the January one as my first box but ended up getting December and January boxes delivered this month and was charged for both.
If you would prefer not to get the January box, I would wait to subscribe in February! Despite what it says on the website, the shipping is not as fast and I usually get my boxes in like a 1.5-2 weeks from the day they say that they send them.

I FINALLY got my January box. I have to say that it’s certainly worth the $15 price tag, or at least this box was. I will have to wait and see how the February box is. Although it did seem to be a LONG wait for this box, I was pleased with the content. The eyeshadow quad is VERY nice. Even though the colors don’t necessarily work for me, they are good quality shadows. I’m looking forward to see what I get in February’s box……

I was charged for my Feb box already…I hope that means they’ll be sent out early in the month. 🙂

So excited to get my January box today!! Fabulous box but guess who’s eye pallete is broken? Looks like the lock on the compact was broke, the darkest shadow is dust and the mauve half dust☹️ Needless to say I had my first experience with customer service and she couldn’t have been nicer! I offered to return the damaged product for a replacement but she told me I would be receiving an entire new January box that she was putting in for shipping as we were speaking.

I’m normally very easy to please, but I may have to cancel Allure . . . at least for the month of February. I’m really not excited about anything in this box. I hate any kind of cream product; I much prefer powder blushes. I have enough mascara to last me my entire life and then some. I have tons of eye serums and creams, and I can buy Olay products at Wal-Mart. I also have plenty of candles, and if I run out, I can get great smelling ones at Wal-Mart or the Dollar General near my apartment. I already have a couple of lip plumpers that I never even use. The only thing that looks half-way enticing is the First Aid Beauty Peel Pad and that’s not worth getting the entire box for. I need to save money anyway.

I got a shipping # for my January box today, due to arrive tomorrow. Funny thing is that’s the first time I’ve got a shipping confirmation before my box arrives since I joined two years ago, you just never know with them. Good thing is I’ve never had to deal with customer service, they always show up.

I really hope I get the Cargo product – I LOVE Cargo! The GrandeLips will be nice too. I am using a sample from my Ricky’s NYC box, and I like it, so another would be welcome. I could really do without a candle in a beauty box. If I wanted a candle, I would subscribe to a lifestyle or candle subscription, would much rather have another beauty item.

I love that grande lips. Tiny sample though.

I just got my box today! I’m so glad that I decided to resubscribe and give them another chance. It’s funny how 6 months ago my top 3 boxes are now my least favorite and my least favorite boxes have now become my favorites. I’m so glad Allure stepped up their game and is giving some great products! I love how they sent the doucce or douce compact. I love their products and they’re really nice colors that they sent out. I’m excited that they’ll be sending out new colors every now and then and since the compact is magnetic, it makes switching the colors easy! I rearranged them from light to dark lol. This box was my favorite January box! Well, I liked the Luxor box too but only because of the bangle, and I actually got the black one that I wanted!! The oil in my diffuser leaked but they’re replacing it. Their customer service is so fast and amazing! Glossy box stunk this month! And Boxycharm is going downhill…… I’ve been getting good boxes but I feel guilty knowing that others are paying the same price and aren’t getting the same value, which isn’t fair! I actually got the English laundry deluxe rollerball perfume, vintage double compact, so Susan fan brush, pur minerals bronzer, and the konjac sponge. About a $120 value. Which is awesome BUT I’m feeling guilty that I’m getting the good variations. I’ve been with them for like two years now, but even so, new subscribers should be getting awesome boxes so that way they’ll continue to subscribe. I just want it to be the same thing for everyone, we’re all paying the same amount!!!

What do you mean? Does Boxycharm send different boxes to different subscribers? I’ve never heard of that!
And how do they determine who gets what?

Winter
January would have been my first Boxycharm. I ordered on the 4th, and haven’t received it yet. But I’m hearing so many people had theirs come completely smashed! I ended up canceling because I don’t want to be charged for my second box before I even get my first one. Although I will probably resubscribe because I want those color pop shadows and that magnetic zpallet.

You might want to resubscribe right away if you want February because I’ve heard there’s a wait list!!

Love the addition of a candle! Nice one, Allure!

Ha, I am pretty sure you are the only one. It’s beauty box, it shouldn’t contain non-beauty products. I hope Allure is getting a lot of complaints about this one.

It’s kind of funny how everyone is complaining about the candle. Isn’t this a 5 item box? The candle is a bonus. Just goes to show how sometimes, these beauty box companies can’t win, even if they send out an extra bonus item.

I just got my box and it’s great! The Paulette is really nice. I got the butts bees in blush basin which is a light rose mauve and looks great on me and I got the face mask with pomegranate and hyaluronic acid. It was definitely worth the wait.

I got the blending brush too with mine (it finally showed up on Monday) and I love everything! Great lippie for dry lips, may have to pick up another shade. I got the same mask too which will be perfect for my dry skin. Not sure about the eye shadow shades yet but love that it’s magnetic and they say they will be sending future pans to mix it up so that will be fun. Was definitely worth the wait for me & looking forward to February too. So happy I resubbed with the 3 month for 10$ deal when I did! Cancelled all my other beauty boxes except for Julep Maven.

I meant burts not butts and pallette not Paulette.

LOL at ‘butts bees’ though, thanks for the giggle! 😀 I hate autocorrect sometimes!

Hi Michelle…did they charge you correctly? I cancelled in Sept and reordered in Dec to get the holiday special 4/$10. They are charging me regular price and are telling me I’m not eligible for the sale price (after the fact). They are saying I never cancelled (but I did, was not charged, nor got boxes from Oct on) I did got my Jan box today, and did receive everything in the spoiler.
