Hmm. Weirdness with the Allure Beauty Box. I got 2 shipped from Allure. Should have been one only.
Second box has 8 products, including the products shown plus the Londontown cuticle oil.
I don’t know what they are doing ( again). LOL.
Good thing I like all of it, except the hairspray because even a light spritz of any hairspray glues the ends of my hair together.

I just got my first Allure box today, it was everything listed, and the Y335 is great for me. I received the liner and the eye wipes, which are both my preferences. I also got a full-sized Londontowne Kur cuticle oil. Which is right on time because I was using a Burt’s bees hand salve on my cuticles the other day. The sunscreen is tiny, the lipstick is a good shade for me, I like having the hairspray and wipes for my carry bag, and I can’t wait to try the overnight mask. This box is a total win for me 🤗

My March Allure box has been at my local USPS processing facility for 5 days, I finally emailed Allure to see if they can do something. I’d like to get my March box still.

Have you received your box? I haven’t received mine but I never get a shipping notification. I have no way to track it. I emailed them a few days ago, but no response. I would really like my box!

There must be something going on, I haven’t received my March box either and it’s April 1st. I called them last week and they said I would still be receiving the March box.
Jenna
I’ve bwwn waiting for weeks. I’ve been charged twice. I emailed 3 days ago and haven’t heard back…. really bummed but not liking the customer service. You can’t see history or tracking or anything along those lines.

This (March) was my last Allure box. I don’t need anymore chaos than my life naturally has in it. Allure has no communication and that drives me insane. So I cancelled yesterday.

If you subscribe through Amazon do you get different boxes? My March box was completely different products.

Yes, they can’t offer customization through Amazon, so they sent the November box to anyone who subscribed through Amazon.

I just got my box today. Surprisingly, I got the Y225 shade I picked.
Also got the MUFE lipstick, the liner, hairspray, eye pads, water mask, and sunscreen.

I got my box yesterday, Wednesday 21st. I got all the original spoilers. Although I don’t recall what shade of MUFE foundation I chose, it looks about right. There is not shade name on the sample, only a number. I also received the MUFE Crème Lipstick (adorable), Oribe Free Styler hairspray, Simple micellar eye pads, Laneige water mask, and LaRoche-Posay sunscreen fluid. Everything was intact and packaged nicely.

FYI: I received foundation #Y335. I also received the EyeKo liner (forgot to list).

My box should be here tomorrow, Friday tops i think but i haven’t received an email about choosing a foundation shade…like what the hell??? if they send me a dark shade they better exchange it for another item…seems like a lot of boxes from different companies keep being disappointing 🙁

I got my box the other day and the shade I got is Y335; it’s sooooo dark. I know I picked the lightest shade, I’m so pale lol. I’m super disappointed it’s the only thing I was looking forward to in the box.

Same here. I called and they said they would send me the marble shade but I know it will be months before I see it.

I picked the lightest shade possible because I’m so pale, and I got shade Y335, very disappointing!
Reply

I think I did. I picked the lightest shade and got a Y225, which makes me happy. I got this shade in an Ipsy bag a while back (before they started to suck) and it’s a good match for my pale self.
I got a Y335 in a Play! box and while the base shade is pretty close, it was a bit yellow.

I think everyone received the Y335. I asked for the Y225. I also received the eyeliner; I was hoping for the mascara. They sent me the Simple eye pads. There are 30 pads but this is a mini packet, half the regular size. Now I have a collection of Oribe hairspray from various boxes ( suddenly there is an Oribe product in all my subscriptions) This box was I complete miss for me! I hope they come up with something better in May. In the meantime , who wants a Y335 foundation?

Not me. I’ll donate mine to the women’s shelter…
I got the hairspray, lipstick, the gel cream, and the sunscreen. Really just a ho-hum box. I guess I’ll eventually use everything…or donate it.

I’m curious too…

Apparently it doesn’t matter what color of foundation that I picked. I got Y335, instead of Y225. Waaay too dark. I’m annoyed. Why did they even do this customization?
Also, no shipping notice…just appeared.
Reply
Pink5
I’ve had that happen. It just arrives, or I get the ship notice the day it shows up.
I had to whine at Customer Service to get this one to break loose.
I got the gel cream, which is cool because even at my advanced age (56), my T-zone still gets oily.

Dawn
Hey Lady, mid 40’s hear! I’m certainly loving the chin acne at this age! Lol! Wth? I like some of the neutrogena gel products. This Simply moisturizer is a bit similar. I used it in place of a serum under the Laneige sleep mask aka night cream. Talk about super moisturizing!

I also got Y335 instead of Y225, marble.

I did send an email to CS about this….let’s see what they say.

I was wondering… they had names for the shades when I got the email. I got Y335. Of the 4 shades available, I picked the second lightest shade hoping it would match my niece. Not sure if I got the shade I picked or not.

I went on the Sephora website and found which numbers corresponded with the shade I chose (marble), and that’s how I saw Y335 is dark sand and marble is Y225.

Received shipping notification AND the box today! Got the Eyeko liner and the Simple hydrating gel, which is what I was hoping for (yes hard to believe I wanted black liner, but I got the Eyeko mascara in my Ipsy bag this month)!

Liz has posted this with the spoilers before regarding Amazon subscribers March boxes
“UPDATE 2: If you subscribed through Amazon and not through Allure Beauty Box, you will not be receiving this March box since Allure isn’t able to do customization for Amazon orders. Instead, you will receive this box.”
Reply
Dawn
Good Afternoon! I said I’d be back after my March box arrived. Funny, I got the shipping email at 2:16pm CST, box was marked delivered at 4:06pm. I’ve been subscribed since September. My box contains everything shown with the variation for my box being the Simple hydrating gel cream. That’s a huge relief to me. This is very useful to me where the eye makeup remover wipes would not be. I’m very shocked at the MUFE foundation. I got Y335 and I’m just shocked at how close of a match it is. I have red undertones so that’s not easy to get a foundation or even a B.B. cream. I love Oribe but it’s way out of my price range. This is going straight in my travel bag same with the foundation Laneige sleep mask. The lipstick and eyeliner are already promised to my niece. Now, about this face sunscreen… It’s so stinkin’ tiny it’s almost a waste of packaging. It reminds me of a Birchbox sample.
I actually appreciate a box with 7 items. I’m happy to have gotten Simple moisturizer but the size of the Laneige is a but disappointing. Not to mention the full size product is a $7-$10 drugstore product.
The spoilers for April have me nervous already.

Good Morning! I decided to log into my account this morning. Under Order Date: 03-09-2018 Track Shipment is highlighted blue, clicked on it and it is out for delivery today. LOL! Not one single response to emails. No shipping info email sent. March will be my 7th box. I’m not at all happy with the changes to spoilers and the whole box variations thing. I’ll post what I get in my box after it gets here.

I have not received any shipping notification usually I get an email around the ninth or 10th of the month. Is anyone else still waiting for shipping notification ??Something is definitely going on with this company. I truly believe when they advertise the heck out of that Sunday Riley serum they got tons of new subscribers and that is why we are seeing every month now three or four variation boxes. It appears the general consensus is we all signed up for Allure because they didn’t have variations. I have a feeling this company is going to learn the hard way that they are going to lose their long time and loyal subscribers do to this

I was charged on the 9th, but haven’t heard anything since — no tracking number, and nothing has shown up on informed delivery. My box was very late last month also. One thing I do notice, however, is that when I get a box late in the month they tend to throw in a little something extra – last month it was a 5ml Missoni sample. I do appreciate that.

My March box was totally not this one! I did get the eyeliner, but everything else is different. I was kind of excited about the sleeping mask, but it’s cool. I’m still happy with this month’s!
I got:
Eyeko Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black, 1.2 g

How did everyone get their boxes already? I haven’t received an email confirming shipment or anything. I’m so confused and CS does NOT email back, apparently. I supposed I’ll be calling Monday and canceling already. I don’t want to but I also can’t sit here and have money coming out of my account and not be able to actually get answers. And now reading others got different boxes from what we were told. That’s a hard no for me!

I heard the Amazon subscribers are getting their boxes but it’s the Nov 2016 box. For Allure… my card was charged on the 9th but I have gotten no shipment email. No update on my account either. I usually see a shipment link there first.

I just signed up w Allure about a week ago and the following evening I received the email about choosing the foundation shade. I was kinda impressed bc I had 5 choices. 4 shades and the 5th was No Preference.
I thought that was pretty cool as I only expected the usual 3 choices: Light, Med, and Dark. 😃
That being said, I needed another beauty sub like I need a hole in my head. Ugh…I just really wanted to try the foundation before buying full size. For whatever reason, I am TERRIBLE at matching myself for foundations. Just this past month I purchased 4 diff brands and don’t used any of them! They weren’t drugstore either..😔.
Wish I had someone to share them with. My whole family is male it seems. Any suggestions?

If you have a Rite Aid close, you can return used product to them as long as you keep your receipt. I can’t remember how long you have to do the return, but I’ve returned foundation and tried a new shade after a full week.

Some stores will take them as returns. Also, some of the higher end companies have a photo sensitive machine thingy they put up to your skin and determine what foundation color is your best match. (Estee Lauder for one.) I did that and it was good..!! also, try blending several colors together and use your beauty blender…that helps get a good, light, even coverage I have found…Best of luck..

I broke down and went to a Bare Escentuals shop after they released the last round of new shades. The clerk matched me satisfactorily and recommended colors from their other types.
Sephora will do it as well, and recommend from the lines that they carry.

Sell them on eBay, or donate them to a woman shelter. I’m in the same boat. I’m trying to find a good foundation. The closest I have got is to the hourglass foundation stick is pretty nice.
