Allure Beauty Box March 2017 SPOILERS + $5 Coupon!

Well… the John Frieda hair product was a 7-day nightmare for me. It threw off my hair’s ph and moisture balance. It has taken days to get it out of my hair. Blow drying my hair was a struggle. Never again. Epic fail. YUK.

Knowing everything I do at this point about makeup and skincare, I do not share some of the other commenters’ disdain for drugstore brand products. I noticed that when it comes to skincare especially, I would prefer to receive a full-size drugstore brand item in my beauty boxes (Olay has the best skincare anyway) than a tiny “deluxe” sample of something from Lancome or Clarins (etc.), especially considering how often, when I go on to read about them on beautypedia.com, the latter turn out to have harmful ingredients. The best Allure box from last year for me was definitely the Red Carpet bonus box, because of all the great full-size products it contained.
As far as the spoilers, definitely not excited about the cuticle oil, my cuticles are fine and I never have a need of products like these, but I am on my fourth $10 month now, so we’ll see if the box overall wows me enough to keep the subscription. It’s been a hit and miss for me – didn’t care for December (I prefer a lot more makeup in my beauty boxes), but then January was pretty good, but then again February was a pretty massive fail, only three usable items for me, and that candle was just adding insult to injury.

For new subscribers, they also have a free eyeshadow palette, the one that was in a month or so ago.

I dropped this box last summer due to product overload, just added it back! I am excited.

All new products for me

I have to admit, from all of the beauty boxes, allure is my favorite. Deluxe size samples of products that I would actually use at a good price point. It’s not the leader in any one point (size, product selection, and price), but a close 2nd or 3rd for ALL THREE.

Yay, no aloe!

Looks fabulous so far!

LIKE. LIKE. LIKE.

Oooo…I’m looking forward to the lip butter! It looks like it has a good color that is not a “nude” color. And the in-shower treatment looks good for my dry skin.

I’m not excited about the cuticle oil. I have good cuticles, so it isn’t something I use or need to use. Who knows, maybe after trying it, I’ll find out I do need it.

It’s all about discovery, right?

Not real exciting initially but after reading up on the lip butter and the cuticle oil, I’m really looking forward to it! Hope the lip butter is full size🙄

I’m so glad we get to see spoilers- what a double edge sword for the companies! I was planning on starting this sub in March, but after seeing these, I’ll put it off until I see April spoilers.

Eh it’s alright I suppose. I probably won’t use the JF. The cuticle oil is interesting and it’s not something I’d buy for myself so I’ll be happy to try it and I’ll definitely be using the lip butter.

I’ve really liked Allure and I can’t complain really, but this month was probably my least favorite so I’m hoping for a better March.

Meh but for $10. it’s ok.

Love these spoilers! !! I have not tried any of them and can’t wait to find out what the rest of the products are.

I love these spoilers, they are all new for me and I have been a beauty box junkie for years and receive over a dozen a month…yes I am a hoarder! I can always use cuticle oil, I but Avoplex all the time, so this one will be new! I can’t wait!

These spoilers are very underwhelming. Hopefully the other stuff makes up for it.

I signed up for Allure a few months ago on a whim using that 6 months for $10 deal and I’ve been surprisingly happy with it! It seems that I might struggle to let it go after the deal is up after all…uh oh….haha. This month especially looks good to me. I have horribly straight and fine hair so I’m excited to try to the John Frieda, the lip balm sounds amazing and I can use some cuticle oil too (which is not something I’ve gotten in any of my other beauty boxes yet). Yay!

All new products to me ,so a great box so far

Ugh. I’ve got 4 of the John Frieda in my shower right now. Was hoping the subscription box obessesion with this product would wane….but apparently it’s still alive and kicking.

Disappointed. Cuticle oil and another drugstore brand… Like another commenter said, what happened to the good stuff?

very pleased with all of these. I could definitely use some cuticle oil, I have fine limp hair so anything with the word Volume is good. I don’t normally wear anything but balms but this lip stuff looks interesting. Will definitely have to read up on it. As usual I’m super impressed and can not wait for more spoilers. Definitely really unique but useful items (obviously items like the volume wont work for everyone, that’s just the name of the game (Us fine haired girls hate to see serums, leave in conditioners, ext.) I personally haven’t seen any of these items in another box of mine. Cant wait.

I just had to look at the spoilers which I’m trying not to because I like to be surprised.
I didn’t even receive my February box yet and I know everything that’s in it because of the items being listed for swaps.
Anyway as far as the spoilers:

The cuticle oil- possibly. I don’t like touching oil at all, but I could put on gloves and try it, so I think I’ll keep it.

The lip tint- definitely not keeping. I have way too much lip stuff.

The 7 day shower- not sure. I’ll read about it and maybe give it a try.

The spoilers are so so. However, I’m glad that I switched from Ipsy to this box. I’m much happier.

The lip butter could be good. The color does look decent.

Cuticle oil – ehh. I do wear a lot of polish so it will probably be okay.

John Frieda will be a miss. It’s so hard to get products that work with my curly hair…

I am happy with these spoilers so far. I just read good reviews on the nail oil. I truly need a good one for my dry cuticles.

I am Happy with Allure they always have products that are good. I’m sure the editors try these out before sending them out to the public consumer. Allure is Great 👍🏾
