Allure Beauty Box Review – May 2017 + $5 Coupon

When did everyone get the eyeshadow palette? I’ve been a subscriber for several months and have been getting the refills each month, but never got the palette.

I really liked this box when I got it, but I just tried the eyeshadow for the first time. No matter how much I tried, with a brush or my finger, there is almost no pigment. Super disappointed that such a pretty color doesn’t show up.

I love every single thing in this box. I usually can’t say that for Ipsy, Birchbox, glossybox, or Sephora. So I’m very happy that I decided to sub to Allure. June’s box looks great too and I can’t wait to get it!

I left allure a few months ago and decided to come back when I saw the free doucce eye shadow palette offer. Also, I wasn’t sure if I qualified for it cause I was technically NOT a first time subscriber. I called allure customer service to also resubscribe to the allure magazine for $5.00. They also assured me I would get the free tote that I was suppose to get the first time and it never came. So, they said they would run it through as tho I was a first time subscriber to get eye shadow palette, first box for $10.00 and magazine subscription for $5.00 and free tote!! I will never leave allure again!!!

Does everyone get the same box? If not, what are the variations like? I quit GlossyBox when they started their great value disparity.

So my sunscreen came exploded all over the box and empty, so I contacted costumer service. Has anyone had this problem before/what did they do (if anything) to fix it?

This box is amazing. I love every single item. I didn’t think I’d like the eyeshadow, but it’s a lot less pink and more sheer than it looks. So it makes a good brow highlight or base. The this works oil is amazing. I use it before bed and it really is relaxing. That luxie brush is amazing. It’s so fluffy and perfect. I love the cleanser and have been hoping for some screen, and drunk elephant is an awesome brand. Seriously, I’m thinking of ordering another box.

Meh, still not mad I cancelled

Got my box today. It was filled nicely w/ everything included. I got the safflower & olive Kneipp oil. I like and will use all items, esp. the Skinfix Clay Cleanser!

I loved April, but not this one, a complete miss. Luckily I paused in time!

My May box is on its way and I can’t wait to get it! BTW…I finally tried the Lakur Londontown nail polish and its absolutely gorgeous!!! I got get more for sure.

I had zero interest in the April box, so I put my box on hold for that month. Then I saw the review of this box and was really excited, so I called to take my subscription off hold. I asked the CS rep specifically if I would get the May box, and she said I would. I was so excited when I found out my box was delivered, but when I opened it, it was April. 🙁 Ugh! So I listed at least 2 of the items so far on the swap site. Surprise, surprise, there are a ton of those items listed, and virtually no followers. Looks like I might have some albatrosses on my hands.

I guess RV of This Works Stress Check Breath In Roll On is only $10 (full size 8 ml costs $16).

Of course I cancelled last month and this box would have been a total step up from the last 6 or so. Just too many misses for me. Not sorry I cancelled.

Very tempting to get this box. Much better than their usual month. I’ve never been tempted to get this sub until now.

Liz ~ Did you try the Drunk Elephant Suncreen under foundation? If so, how did it work out?

I cancelled and didn’t get march, but I got the gilt city deal on sale and paid $9 and change for each box in total so I’m excited. I’m not completely sure they’re sending the May box, but I hope they do. I really wanna try drunk elephant and I know I’ll use the roll on oil.

I received the palette like everybody else in January(?), and I cancelled my annual sub in February. I decided to re-sub for a couple of months last week (I think the April box was just shipped to me which is fine), but they’re also sending me another palette too! I received a separate shipping email specifically telling me they’re shipping that palette to me separate from the beauty box that was just shipped. I just thought I’d mention it in case someone already got the palette and like it, un-subscribed, is on the fence about re-subscribing, and would like to receive a 2nd palette (for themselves or to gift).

My box is completely different? WTF?

This is the 1st month I’m disappointed. 5 months in & this is the box I’d say is mostly stuff I won’t use or don’t like – I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at that stress roller ball thingy. WTF? That orchid coloured shadow, unlike the quad, is hideous & I’m probably light skinned enough to pull it off. I pray I don’t get the lavender scented oil too, otherwise that’s also getting tossed.

At (the very) least I’ll have a new cleanser & sunscreen to try & I will never say no to more Luxie brushes! Worth $15 though? Not even close. Allure & Birchbox are on life support after May.

I was honestly hoping that the boxes would improve after the $10 Black Friday deal had run its course. My Ipsy bag for May even blows this one out of the water. I signed up during the May Allure debacle from last year and this doesn’t even feel like the same subscription 😩

I just re subscribed to Allure last month. I really hope i get the Drunk elephant, if i don’t get it or at least the makeup brush. Then I’m done with Allure , they are consistently underwhelming. I guess i expected more from them since i love there Magazine.

Does anyone know if I renew my subscription now, would I get the May box or the April?

Even though I already have that Luxie brush, I am still really happy I decided to sub this month. I can’t wait to have my box and the palette.

Omgosh, now THIS is a nice box!! I just cancelled in March after their boxes were getting progressively worse and then they come out with an awesome box. I can’t win, lol!
