Allure Beauty Box December 2018 FULL SPOILERS UPDATE + Coupon!

Why do you assume the opposite for Allure? I try not to assume things because I’m usually wrong when I assume things without any facts. So, I just curious why you would say that….

I’ve had an unbelievable number of problems with them so I finally did the same after they messed up my account so bad including changing my email and payment info without my permission (which caused me to miss a box and not be able to get into my account online (which is also attached to my magazine subscription account so that’s awesome.) I reached out via email to customer service numerous times to try and resolve it but they made no effort at all to acknowledge their mistakes or fix them. They pretty much ignored the specifics and sent me canned responses not applicable to the situation. I reiterated all my concerns and experiences when I finally canceled and requested (again) they fix my email for my magazine account since it’s prepaid for years. They didn’t mention that at all and just replied simply stating they processed my cancellation.
Clearly Allure doesn’t care about customers at all and/or the folks they hire for customer care are not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. A company like Allure (which is just a branch of the gigantic Conde Nast group) that large having such abominable customer service is crazy.
As much as I despise them now, their boxes are often so good that I took other MSA readers’ advice and just joined through Amazon. It’s so easy to order when you like the spoilers (even late in the month), then cancel until you decide if you want the next month. The $10 a box subscriber retention deals are great (they offered me 4 months of them a while back) but this way you save almost as much money since you can skip months that don’t wow you, like December’s lame box. 😄

Oma how does this palette even condense to a mini version? We get what 3 shades? I agree..annoyed ab that. I love my allure but yeah if I hadnt read your comment when it comes I’d have been wth is this tiny thing? Where is my palette? Lol

I hav the full size of that palette and I can say that the mini has the best shades from it so at least there’s that!

I mean, it’s annoying their spoilers come out so early but you could just…not look at them.

I know right? I adore all my boxes, they are all very thought out.

The retail value for both is actually pretty low, for Allure, which promise $85 worth of products in every box but often delivers much more. But mostly, it’s a YMMV thing. The only product I’m excited about in November is the Glow Recipe mask; I have sensitive skin so the Glamglow is unusable for me, and the rest of the products are nothing special. And I do not care for the December box at all: drug store items, yet another liquid eyeliner and highlighter, a mask with denatured alcohol as a major ingredient? Just a big fail all around, for me. I will probably keep the Ofra highlighter since apparently it can be used as eyeshadow as well (two of the three colors are too dark for my pale skin), and put the rest up for swap.

2 Words. Chronic Malcontents. Why keep buying and complaining? Just say no or bubye but bullying a company does nothing but take up space in the comments. I would like to read about the products and how they do or don’t work for others. Complaints belong in an email or phone call to the company. What good does it do to write them here?

I hate the way people complain about people complaining on a REVIEW sight…That’s what this sight is for is opinions on the curation and the products. This is exactly the place to come and praise or complain. If you can’t handle peoples opinions good or bad, maybe a REVIEW sight is not for you.

They show their current box on their website, so I’d check the site on Dec 1st just to make sure they’ve switched over and then subscribe. You can also subscribe through Amazon, which is way easier to cancel/resubscribe and generally quicker to ship, but you won’t get the discount.

I agree. This box looks amazing and a purse or handbag sized travel palette would be so great.

I feel the same…for $15 and how much ALLURE HAS WOWED me for the past year, December is ….sad….the eyeliner may be ok since its waterproof, if i get the balm or eye foils that be ok..but nyx color/quality i will give away, idk ab the mini palette until.i see it, im.cool.colors, and the wipes and rest is …sad….of my 10 beauty subs Allure is one of my top 3 but December is..sad…LOL..did i mention sad? LOL…I know Allure isnt too christmas broke like the rest of us lol

Courtney:
I usually feel the same way about highlighters…heck I could paint my house with all that I have in my stash. BUT, the OFRA highlighter is truly different and is the single best highlighter I have ever used. Personally, this one is attractive to me since it gives us a trio of colors. Give it a shot, I can attest to the splendor that is the OFRA highlighter.

I was SO close to signing up, mostly because of that palette but then I saw it was on sale at Ulta and decided I had enough subscription boxes and I would just buy the palette. Glad I did, I would have been pretty bummed to find out it was a mini.

It’s not just you. Is there a way we can skip a month?

And she answered…maybe she didn’t have the 800 number memorized, but she told her that it was there to find.

Yeah – I’m not feeling the December box either! I need to figure out when my 4 for $10 offer expires. I have so many subs and so much stuff and now after the Target Holiday boxes am pretty set – even though I just sent my daughter a huge box full of skin care, makeup and brushes.
