This is my first subscription- I purchased it on the 17th of March. Does anyone know if I will receive the March box or if I have to wait for the April box?

Anybody else missing items? Or is it just my turn? I didn’t get the serum and I was excited to try something new.Ive been putting off contacting them because I don’t do well with bad customer care lol.but if they get ugly I’ll just cancel ,three have been cut this month

Not an exciting box, but it is useful. I’m always in battle with my cuticles, so looking forward to trying the cuticle oil. My hair is very thick, so I will be passing off the hair product to my daughter who has fine, thinner, hair. The deodorant will be great for travel this summer, as all of my girls have trips planned. Looking forward to trying the serum. All will get used.

I went round and round with them for months over a replacement product that I never did receive so cancelled. Allure used to be so good but not anymore

You CAN Suspend and reinstate shipments!
I did. It’s in the account settings. You can put in a date to suspend shipments as well as a date to resume. That’s what I did for this month.

I did too. And the woman that helped me said to make sure that you reinstate a few days into the month that you want to start back up. They can be shady, I signed up on the 1st of January and still received December. Always double check with them.
I’m waiting on a replacement for two or three months. I contacted them and they tried to say that they already did, BS
Has anyone had a friend sign up and received the special curated box?? If so, what’s in it, is it decent or just crappy leftovers like Birchbox Thank you for any information about the editors box.

I’ve had trouble with cancelling a month so I’ll suck this one up (for those who think we are spoiled for not loving the box-considering I’m using my hard earned cash it doesn’t matter how much the items are worth if I won’t use them). My subscription is almost over and I can’t say I’m sad about it.

Has anyone else had a horrible customer service experience with Allure beauty box? I signed up on Feb. 20th, and my box still hasn’t shipped. Customer service will not let me cancel because then I won’t receive the February box. But I do not want to continue my subscription. So basically, I am sucked into this.. any help?

Hey Abby, I had a similar situation. Actually you’re first box will not be the month you subscribe in but the one after that. So that being said if you subscribed in February, your first box will be for the month of March.
However, If you want to cancel you should be able to do so.
Reply
Abby
They wouldn’t let me cancel until the box shipped, also they told me they weren’t sure if I would be getting the Feb. or March box!

My first box took two to three weeks to ship, then the next one came 2 weeks later. It has to probably, catch up and start regulating after the first two boxes. Now the come around the 10th each month.

If I had to guess.. I would say that your box DID already ship. I never get a shipment confirmation until AFTER I already get my box in the mail. Not sure why.. But happens every month.

Looks alright to me. Hoping for a NUDE polish and that the Derma-E Vitamin C serum is a for-sure item in my box! And yes there are only 5 items, but maybe there will be an extra item thrown in…I’m thinking positive. All the products are new to me so I’m excited to try them all.

the samples this month were super small. Like birchbox. Except for the polish and cuticle oil.

That is my hope – free item! I keep reminding myself that I wasn’t super excited about February but I really loved it once I got it!
I want that lip stuff!
Reply
Jill
Yep, even when I seem disappointed at first, I always end up loving what I get. I really want the C serum!

I haven’t been charged yet so I quickly cancelled. They have went downhill so much. This makes me sad because it used to be my favorite box.

Wow, probably the most underwhelming box I’ve ever seen from Allure.

This is the second sub par box in a row for me. The product I looked forward to the most last month came all smashed and now I’m dealing with CS again. And this box just has nothing that catches my eye. The only thing I may use is the nail polish, but I do rarely paint them
Reply

Agreed. My Cargo highlighter was all smashed in the tube so I called CS and they’re sending out a new one. I feel bad, but I cancelled my subscription for March after receiving unimpressive items in January and February boxes.

My cargo highlighter was smashed in the tube also! And in January, my eye shadow palette came with one shadow shattered. Super disappointing considering this is supposed to be a more high end box.

I discontinued for next month, but now I’m going to resub, those nail polishes are $16 each and I skipped Julep for the month, so I think I’d like to try this brand. I really wanted to try a vitamin C serum and my hair is fine, so the Derma E and John Frieda will be used. The box does seem pretty unimpressive at first, but after thinking about it I know I’ll use everything and the value is there.

I must admit, I am a little embarrassed that I have been bragging so much to all my friends about how Allure was right up there with Boxycharm. This box makes me look a bit stupid now. I been bragging bigtime about how wonderful each box has been for me over the past 2 years & telling my friends in my beauty group how fabulous each box is….. Step it up Allure.

I knew the $10 deal was too good to be true… Their boxes used to be a whole lot better before the deal. I really hope they don’t turn this into a $10 box like Birchbox… I liked paying a little extra for larger, quality items.

If they are the sizes I think they are, it’s still around a $60 box, amazing for even 15 bucks. Though I totally get if the items just aren’t for you, cant love every month.

You’re absolutely correct. I may cancel, the boxes have been lousy except for January which was a nice mix, ⚡️Jet

I feel like several months ago they unofficially moved to being a “ten dollar box” which I’m fine with since I’m only paying $10. At $15 I’d be not very thrilled.

Aren’t there supposed to be six items?
Reply
SBR
I have seen them advertise it as 6 items and 5 items. I complained about it the last time they only sent 5. I think, the emails they send say 6.

I am a nail girl so I am excited for this box! I don’t ever have them “done” per say, but I just like to use nail polish, I am going to try some hand gloves, I love a good hand cream, etc. Also I am curious for serums, having never tried them before. Hair stuff is always fun to sample, in my opinion. Not sure how I feel about the lip color shown here, but I am always open to trying lip stuff!!! I share with my daughter, sister, and Mom, so it all has a “home” lol. I do love Allure.

Yeah! I am loving this mostly skincare box via Allure! =) Ladies, you really need to focus more on maintaining better skin rather than slathering on all the makeup. All them chemicals in cosmetics ages the skin, if used excessively.

I’m a skin care gal all the way.. don’t care much for makeup at all and still don’t like this box. The only item I would use is the derma E. The rest of the items I won’t even try. Not worth the money this month for just one item.

Glad I cancelled.

Yeah Not a fan of most of these products. My the nail polish but it’s nothing like the last few months which I really loved. Boo hoo…… Everytime I cancel I just resubscribe in a month. What to do. What to do

I am so disappointed with Allure beauty box this month! This is one of my favorite subs.. well used to be anyway. This has to be the worst box I ever received as of yet.. I really wish I could skip this month. I don’t want to cancel because I did the deal from Christmas for your first 6 boxes for $10. I never look at spoilers.. ever! This is the second time I ever look at spoilers and now I’m sad… I’ll never look again!

You can suspend shipments, can’t you?
Reply
Ann
I did. It’s in the account settings. You can put in a date to suspend shipments as well as a date to resume. That’s what I did for this month.
Luna
Slightly in line with suspending accounts… I cancelled my annual sub on 2/1 for which the February box was the last box in my sub. I haven’t received the February box yet, or received any tracking info, so I called Allure CS yesterday, and they said that when I cancelled my subscription, it cancelled the last box too. 🙁 So, they had to re-activate my account, and once I receive tracking for that final box (which may not necessarily be February’s, which I’m kind of sad about because I really wanted to try the Beauty Counter mascara), then I can call back and cancel it again. I’m just afraid that since this is the time when people are getting charged for the March box, that now that my sub has be re-activated I may get charged for an annual sub again. She said that shouldn’t happen, but with Allure’s record, I have my doubts.
Melissa W.
Not that I know of.. There’s a cancel subscription button, not seeing a suspend shipment one. I hope there is though. Would be nice. Maybe I’ll do a chat with them and ask.
Tia f
yes, you can suspend but I have heard mixed things about doing this – like when you unsuspend they send you the boxes that you missed during the suspension. I have mine suspended and will cancel it. I couldn’t cancel before getting the feb box which just came yesterday since I subscribed late in the month. Worst case scenario, I keep it forever suspended.
Claudia
I quit right around the time off their Black Friday deal and I have yet to regret it. Since they changed distributors it whatever it was that they did I haven’t loved it. Next in the chopping block is Play!

I used to love Allure. Said I would never unsub. My credit card changed a few months ago and I never took the time to update my info. Good thing. Seems as if the past few months have not been that great. Now I’m giving Ipsy a try again and I like it.

I went ahead and discontinued my account. I’m getting overloaded on products again, and I don’t want anything in this box, so now seems like a good time lol. Overall, I liked Allure though and thought they generally provide a good value.
