Allure Beauty Box April 2018 FULL SPOILERS + $5 Coupon!

Just ordered a few days ago and got my April box already. Hoping I get May as well since I ordered at the tail end of the month. I really signed up based on the spoilers for the next few months. I got variation 3 which I am extremely pleased with.

THIS BOX WAS FALSLY ADVERTISED BY ALLURE!!! Yes, they know it. It’s advertised as being valued at $74! There really is no sense in complaining here. Mysubscriptionaddiction can not do anything about it. I highly suggest calling them as others have already suggested. Emailing will not work. 1-800-274-1603 You will probably spend about 10-15 minutes on hold. Ask for a supervisor or keep calling back. You can hear it all in the background. I had to call twice. One CSR decided it was her job to interrupt, talk over me, correct me and even go as far as to mock my name all the while refusing to give me hers. I am expecting a call back from someone. I did not ask for discounts on future boxes or a refund on this one. But I damn sure don’t appreciate how things are going with Allure or the contents. Subscription box or not, it’s advertised at _____, but that’s not what was sent. Legally, it’s the $ value the promise for the price that matters. With box 1, the value is $42 at best.

I decided to give Allure a call about this box now that I have it in hand. There’s a hold/wait time of 20 minutes!!! Guessing I’m not the only taking issue with this box. This box is advertised as having a value of $74. Box 1 is a value of $42 and that’s being generous. NUDESTIX states it’s a full size product worth $24.00. No, it is not. The full size product is the NUDESTIX with a mirrored case and sharpener for $24. I’m giving this a generous value of 1/2 that, $12.00. The makeup eraser is valued at $20.00!!! LOL!!! No way! This is a friggin freebie! It is nothing more than an unraveling fabric swatch! $0.00. I’m fine with the rahua shampoo & conditioner, $3.00 each. The Stellar primer has a value of around $7.00 and the korres moisturizer $17.00.

Well, I call BS on this months box! I got box 1 and $74 value MA! Korres $17ish, Stellar $7, rahua shampoo $3, rahua conditioner $3, that nudestix IS NOT full size. Therefore not worth $24, without the case and sharpener, I’ll give it $12 at best. That pick piece of a rag is worth a whopping $0.00!!! I agree! What a waste on that thing. Honestly, who wants a lipstick you have to sharpen? Kind of a pain in the arse. If that’s the case? Then where’s the case with the mirror and sharpener that IS part of the actual full size product. You can’t hardly advertise something as full size, give it a high value and the only send part of it. That’s a bit shady in my opinion.

I just got my box. The mini Make Up Eraser was a small, unfinished square. I already have a full-sized and a mini one. This was not the mini. It was a scrap as a sample.

Oh my gosh. I got my box today and it’s absoulety horrid. It’s the first one. The thing is, I could SMELL it before I could even see it. I love smells and perfume etc but the smell of this box is horrid!!! Then opening it is even worse. So disappointed this month and this sub seems to be going downhill ever since they switched up curators.

Ugh. Just got my boxed today. Wasn’t really too excited about this month, but the make up eraser was the only thing I was looking forward to really. But, it was just a sample of material so you could touch the fabric. They could include something like that as an added sales promotion thing, like they include coupons, but they shouldn’t even list something like that as an item in the box. Super DISAPPOINTED. I have a yearly subscription, or else I would probably cancel. Not excited about next month’s box either. Most disappointing Box I have ever received from any of the boxes I subscribed to. Truly. I wish I had received one of the alternate boxes, then at least I would have recieved something I would use.

I got box 1 like I knew I would and emailed them to cancel.

This month was beyond disappointing. I got box variation 1, and I’ve onky subbed since November. I work in the sample department of a large cosmetics retailer and even *I* am insulted at this makeup eraser sample. Mine has a big rip in it like someone messed up while creating the sample. Also, it’s so small, it’s like the perfect size to wipe my cats eye boogers. Also disappointed with the Rahua shampoo and conditioner as I too am a curly girl who ONLY uses devacurl. Wish they could’ve sent a hair mask or something more universal. Also, as soon as I opened my box I was assaulted with this horrendous licorice smell that is suspect is the shampoo.

Got my box today and then the shipping notice. I got version #1 which was my 1st choice simply because of what I didn’t want. Also, I’ve tried rahua and korres products before and wanted to try the Stellar primer. However, I’m not too happy about this bright pink fabric swatch. It was supposed to be a travel size and this is just completely useless. What an absolute waste of fabric, the ziplock packaging and cardboard inserts. Future Customer MA! Such an unnecessary waste. Why would Allure put this in their box? And what’s with the lip crayon? I thought that was supposed to be full sized. It looks big enough but it doesn’t twist up or anything. It’s plastic… Are we supposed to sharpen this thing or is it just a tiny sample made to look full sized? Most months I can say, “It was worth the money regardless…” but not this month. I paid $16.48 for 22mls of shampoo, 22 mls of conditioner, 20 mls of moisturizer and 7 mls of primer. Plus a teeny sample of lip crayon disguised in a full size tube… and a bright pink fabric swatch and some trash. Anybody else feel this way? 1-800-274-1603
Side Note: Allure is charging me the highest tax rate possible in my area, not the required state tax. It is something I am trying to get fixed. Allure does not have any offices in my local area and none in my county or state. However, they are charging me at the highest local rate not the legal rate which is the state tax.

Please correct these. We received a one time use sample of the cloth sold for free on their site in the April box, not the $12 mini. You are misinforming everyone.

I just got my box 3. I forgot when I signed back up that there were variations.Bummer. I got two face creams and none with sunscreen! Already had Drunk Elephant previously and the skin cleanser.

I got Box #1 today…very happy b/c its the one I wanted….all new items I haven’t tried before. So thrilled to try a Stellar product and the Korres cream-gel looks fab for my skin type. ( I got the Simple Eye pads, not the Simple cream-gel, last month…so that worked out well for me!) I certainly will use the Nudestix and Rahua duo…eventually. And my Make Up Eraser is a sample size (3.5×3.5). Yes its quite small and seems a bit silly, but its just a sample and it is reusable. Probably not something I’ll ever purchase, but still curious to try it.

I got box 2. i wanted that one for the wrinkle cream ha. i’m tired of getting lip stuff with colors i don’t like though and the sunscreen is meh. this box doesn’t seem worth 15 like 5 more than sephora play.

I am still waiting to receive my April box. Tracking information emailed to me on Saturday. Box has an estimated delivery date of 04/26/18…. crazy!

Got my box today. They did not send a make up eraser mini, they sent a one time use make up eraser in a foil packet. I’m super disappointed and will be cancelling.

Very disappointed in my box arrival. The make up eraser was a swatch sample of the fabric, not a mini.

Ok, so the makeup eraser is not a mini. It’s a tiny square sample size. SMH.

Just to add to this, the Nudestix package may be full size but the only product you get is what it visible, it does NOT twist up and is NOT truly full size. >:(

I’m curious, did anyone that got box #1 get an actual Makeup Eraser? Or did we all just get the little bitty piece of unhemmed fabric?

I was happy for the Nudestix alone for this month (I have a few in other shades and they’re so beautiful and easy to apply). Anyway, I got Box 1 which was fine because I love the Korres brand and the sample is big and one I hadn’t tried before. Korres also makes gorgeous lip glosses and great body butters.

I also wanted to try the Stellar primer. It’s in a small, lip balm-type package (has a slanted plastic-tip applicator) and it’s a decent size (7 ml) that I could probably get several uses from. It’s really pretty without being glittery.

The Makeup Eraser was a joke. It’s was simply a rough cut 2X2 section that really has no value. Allure should be embarrassed over this.

Lastly, that horrible shampoo and conditioner! I could smell them before I opened the box. I thought for sure something inside had broken. Nope. They just stink that bad unless you like the strong scent of black licorice (anise). I had to throw them away because it actually (not exaggerating) stunk up my room.

Hopefully Allure returns to the strong boxes they had at the first of the year.

TL;DR version: box was ok if you love the full-size Nudestix (RV from Sephora is about $24).

I was really hoping for #3 with #2 being my second choice. Got my box today #1 of course. A moisturizer for oily skin I have very dry skin. Tiny shampoo and conditioner I have long thick hair be lucky to get one use.

I must be the odd one that wants box #1…

Oh man, I’m SO bummed out. I was looking forward to this box, and got #1, which was the one that had NONE of the variants I wanted in it. I have a specific shampoo / conditioner I use. Meanwhile, I love Drunk Elephant products and was hoping to get some travel size versions of what I already use, and was interested in trying out the Biossance line. UGHHGHHG I wish they’d get rid of variants. It’s so frustrating when you get the disappointing version.

Would be open to swaps with anyone who didn’t want #2 or #3.

Just saw an official unboxing of April’s box from Allure . Let’s talk about the fact this is a 16.24 dollar box including tax and they are sending a scrap of the beauty eraser not full size not even half size!!! I’m not impressed, I’ve always loved this box but this isn’t a 10.00 sample box and I expect more . Finally pulled the trigger today and cancelled my Birchbox after giving it chance after chance . The small size of their samples have been ridiculous and I just couldn’t even allow the 10.00 price tag anymore. So boxes beware we will cancel
