Allure Beauty Box Review – March 2017 + $5 Coupon

i ordered and although my bank account was billed several months, my mailbox remained empty. When I called to try to resolve this problem, I received a free lecture and a refusal to cancel. No worries, my bank can help me. They need to hire people who actually care

Worst box evet!!! Extremely disappointed!!!

HELP! After the March spoilers came out, I suspended my Allure box until April. However, Allure sent me the unwanted March box anyway. I chatted with a CS rep, and she told me to mark the box “Return to Sender.” I did this and took it to the PO yesterday. The postal worker scanned the box as REFUSED, and today I got a notice saying it was DISPOSED BY POST OFFICE.

Does anyone know what this means??? I hope they did not just throw my package away because I was charged for that! I will be so angry if they did, and I don’t get refunded my $16.05!!!

Wow, this is the worst beauty box I have gotten (march allure). Teeny lip sample, my nail polish was open which stunk up the box and it was in cheerio which is practically a sheer white. This box was such a joke and the shipping was ridiculously long. They can use ups or FedEx to avoid this kind of thing and they can get better products so it’s not like a Walmart box. Canceled, and not looking back.

I too was very disappointed in my box this month. This is the first time Allure disappointed me so Im hoping next month is better.

For the first time in my 6 month sub I am disappointed. I got the lightest color polish. Way too light almost non existent in color. As the value of the box was in the nail products I felt the deodorant help to round out the box some even though it’s low value. The miss on the nail color makes me feel glad I only paid $10 for this box. I make monthly bridal boxes for friends and family, so the nail polish will go into one of those boxes. If it was absolutely useless to me then I would probably have been furious. Drama, drama, drama. Oh well one month left to go. Love my Look Fantastic with its deluxe sizes this month and my Sephora play, and I just got the Sisley box for March. So I do have some fun things to try this month.

Excited about the serum and nail stuff, will use everything but the hair item.

Will definitely look for the spoilers for next month because it’s getting boring.

It’s sad my fave thing in the box was the deodorant, right? LOL, oh well. I got Cheerio too & hate sheer nail polishes that practically look nude. If I’m gonna go to the trouble to do home manicures, I want something that actually shows up. So that & the cuticle oil will go to my sister’s charity (they get a ton of goodies from me several times a year). I’ve gotten the 7-day volume in 3 other boxes, but at least it does work well. Even though I’ve been unimpressed with the past 3 Allures, I just can’t seem to quit it because it was always my fave and I suspect they’ll rebound. Plus, I only get two beauty boxes now (this & Allure) after having tried some 15-20 in all, so I feel like they are the 2 best ones out there. Onto April…! 🙂

Does Allure still go those very large seasonal boxes or have they stopped that and changed to monthly??
I’m a new subscriber and have seen those large boxes from past years

My box and my mom’s box were both missing the lip butter.

Very unhappy with this March box and February! Seems like this March box is awful because maybe they are giving so many of the eyeshadows to new subs (which I got that eyeshadow as a item in January box!) and they are trying to make up the price difference it costs them. Not sure but this is my third box and only liked one of the three so if next month isn’t better I will get another sub and cancel this one! Play! Has been another that’s pushing it but end part of last year Allure box was so great it’s what made me join. I got the pink type nail color in this months box and hate it… It is so not my color and a sample size deodorant is like a Walmart box! Come on Allure, step it up!

Received my box yesterday with the same configuration as the review above. I love the Cheerio polish!!! And I’m a big fan of nail oils…use several times a day and my nails are in wonderful condition. I like all my items and will try all of them…eventually. This month might be less than spectacular but overall I’m satisfied. The only time I’ve been truly disappointed is when I didn’t receive what was advertised. I cancelled once before and sure enough the following boxes were fantastic. So, I will hang in there thru the mediocre months. I like the Allure box b/c I discover new beauty brands and once in a while I receive a treasure (Le Mer, Foreo, etc). I never realized how much I would miss this box until I cancelled and downgraded to another box. It just wasn’t the same. I love the suspense of watching for the spoilers and reviews too! Thanks Liz 🙂

My box arrived today and I received the nail polish in Cheerio as well. Was really hoping to receive Love Bite #9 or Princess Awaits. I’m starting to feel like the next few boxes may be a bit meh as well. I’m hoping that once they are done honoring all the $10 deals the value and curation will improve. That being said I can still see the value in this box because I am a nail polish hoarder, I always take my own polish to my nail salon…not sure the value is there for the subscribers who aren’t nail polish fans!

how did you all have more than one $10 month?

I am done with Allure beauty box. The last few months have really been a let down. I agree with many of the comments…I opened it and saw the deodorant and the John Frida, and thought…this is like a Target Beauty box. The nail polish color I got is so light, it is like wearing none at all. and the other two samples are microscopic-the derm-a and the lip tint. Also the reviewer said that she got the eye shadow pallet for free…it was not free for past subscribers…it counted as one of our main items, I believe in the January box. I just feel like I could spend the $15 toward products that I will actually use. Disappointed.

Disappointed in March. I was really looking forward to getting the nail polish, with fingers crossed it was the color featured above.

Nails – received fuchsia, which I strongly dislike. Will give away.
Secret – no thanks
7 Day Volume – Have tried, it made my scalp itch.
Derma E – I probably should, but I never bother with products like that
Akar – doesn’t really show up. I don’t see the benefit, especially at this price point.

Overall, I was very disappointed in this box. Didn’t care for Feb, either. It’s a shame because I have enjoyed Allure in the past. If April doesn’t bring back the love, I’m dropping them.

I got this box as a first time subscriber this month as well but paid the 15.00. I don’t think the 15.00 is really worth it personally. I do agree the value is mainly in the nail products, which I do like but an overall value, nah. I unsubscribed after today. The beauty box from target has similar things as this but for 7.00!

I just did a video about how great this box is and then we get this junk in the March box!? I get this stuff in my Walmart box. A deodorant!? Really?

The lip butter is SO tiny. It’s like I’m opening my Play box. And the travel sized deodorant and John Frieda are something I’d expect from Target – Allure usually gives us full size drug store products. I know some people weren’t happy with last month’s box, but we got a full sized mascara and Cargo colorstick, plus two facial treatment items. I like nail polish, but not for $34 of the box! Plus 2 nail items in a month seems like a bad choice, especially when they’re the main value.

I hope Allure does better next month, or I might consider cancelling this and Play to get something a little more expensive…

Anyone else still not get their February box?

I’ve been charged for both Feb and March.

Cs seems clueless when I call and I never get a response to email cs requests.

Disappointed because unlike other people I like both Feb and March box.

Damn. I was literally just talking about how I’ve seen more value from Allure than I was from Birchbox which is why I switched and now this month is a dud. *sigh*

Just received my Allure box today and got the same exact variation as Liz did. I’m happy with this box – there’s definitely value here. The sheer pink is spot on! My go-to is Essie Ballet Slippers which has a notoriously streaky.

I put my sub on “suspend”. You can even put a date in that you wish to start getting your box again. You don’t have to cancel. I saw the spoilers for March weeks ago so put my acct on temp hold.

Anyone know when the thrills box comes out?

Hmm. Looks more like a Target box this month.
