Allure Beauty Box Review – December 2018 + $5 Coupon

Is the eyeliner completely rubbing off for anyone else? I can’t even see the eyeliner on my eyes at the end of the day and ‘it’s happened each time I’ve tried it. I like the eyeshadows. The lip product is completely drying like most liquid lipsticks. I wonder if these are truly their great finds, or if they’re just products they get deals on to include the box.

I love my Allure sub. 3 full sized items for only $15 if you are paying full price. I hate it when peeps accuse Allure or other major beauty brands of lying and scamming. They did not become the huge brand they are by deceitful practices. Ppl just wanna dis them and throw hissy fits when (God forbid) they get a product not to their liking. Well, that is gonna happen! Allure gives a great value box with much fewer repeats and higher end brands than anyone out there. I actually like December’s box. January and February look fine to me as well.

It’s January 04 and my December box finally arrived! I’ve been a subscriber for three years, so it’s not an address problem. This is crazy late. The only product I’m excited about is the Bliss mask. The eyeshadow palette is a mess! The palette was well packaged but the top layers of the shadows crumbled in transit. Did anyone else receive one like this?

FINALLY got a delivered text.

Does anyone know if the ‘bonus’ ships with this box or if it shipped separately?

This was a really disappointing box. Agree with others on the monochrome theme of orange/ “bronze”- it’s too much. And on my fair skin in winter, the colors just don’t work for me. I will try the peel off mask and the eyeliner. Oh well, here’s hoping to a better match in January

i was so exited to tray that ofra highlighter…but it´s really weird on me,the strange effect i’ve only ever seen with fotofocus foundation (wet & wild), a dry texturized, oily patch. its good if youre going to a bar or party on the night, but horrible on white lights in school or officee even light-handed applied. i really loved the juvias place, the eyeliner and the ren balm, not a fan of liquid lips but not that terrible

Why the heck can’t sign-up without subscribing to their magazine???!!!

Allure is the best value of all of the $15 and under beauty boxes. Although I won’t use most of this box, it is still worth the price. Unfortunately my dumb*** decided to try the Bliss peel off mask… not a good idea for my old skin. For the past three hours, I have been layering Dr Jart Tiger Grass repair on my cheeks. The lip product is nice. I use a lip balm under it and it goes on much better. I am not a black eyeliner gal, but I might give this one a try. My daughter snatched up the highlighter. If you haven’t watched the Nikki Tutorials, she is amazing with these products. I wish I could have her come over and show me how to contour myself some cheekbones…lol.

Totally disappointed in this box. Why do such bronzy colors for the ENTIRE box? Was hoping for a nice special Christmas box….but I felt that way with all my subs, and was pretty disappointed with most of them! None of these items are anything I would use. Hoping for a good January box!

I still have not received mine. I know its the holidays but seems like everyone already got theirs. Anyone in the same boat as me?

I got mine on Christmas Eve. Initially, this box was the least exciting for me, and I had planned on skipping until they put out the SR promo.

Anywho, when I opened everything up, I was still pretty “meh” on the contents. But then I decided yesterday to give it a shot, and I did a whole face look with the box contents, and I will say, I really really liked it.

The eyeshadows were really pretty and blended together beautifully. The eyeliner pen was amazing. The only one so far that I’ve ever been able to create a wing with. The brownish lip stuff was not horrible at all, and didn’t even give me the 90s look I was dreading. It dried matte and stayed on pretty well, and wore off evenly. I used a smidge of the highlighter, and it was subtle and lovely. My daughter used the peel-off mask and was happy with it. The single wipe cracked me up.

I usually love Allure boxes – have been getting them since they were Sample Society. This one is a total miss for me. Seems to have been designed for teenagers … or someone who looks like Nikkie (I assume that’s her picture on the cover of the booklet) – very young and VERY made up. That’s not me. Oh well. I’ll throw the Neutrogena towelette in my travel bag – I sometimes buy those at Costco – and try to give away the rest of it.

Something is wrong with their links. I clicked on the Monthly Subscription box and it took me to their yearly magazine subscription instead. 🙁

Somehow my box got here today! Thankfully! I got the Bliss peal off mask. A second win for the teenager in my house. She gets that & the highlighter. Although this is my personal least favorite box of the year, I’m gifting it all. My niece wants the “basic b!+ch” and horrible brown lip color and the black eyeliner. The only thing I will be using is the single use makeup wipe. Lol! Had I gotten the REN, I would have used that too. Looking forward to January!

I got mine today and this is my least favorite box of the year. The only product I’ll use is the Bliss (and luckily I got the peel mask, which I much prefer to eye pads!). Highlighter, brown lip, bronzer and liquid liner are my top 4 hated products. So at least there wasn’t any bronzer though the eyeshadows are all bronze-ish. lol

i didnt get the glitter eye patch…. and this was the item I was looking forward to trying! Instead, I received a lip balm.
This is my very first Allure box, but do Allure send random items so you don’t really know which ones you are getting until you receive it, like Ipsy and Birchbox? I thought this would be more like Sephora play, where everyone gets the same stuffs each month.

Got my box yesterday.

Got the Bliss peel-off mask, would have really preferred the Ren.

The NYX color is one of the matches my lips shades. Really incredibly tired of those.

The palette is not nearly as brown as it photographs, so there’s hope.

REALLY sick of getting black liquid liners.

The card for next month’s spoilers was kind of weird. The Amika Soulfood mask is a haircare item, so that’s something. Hopefully there’ll be enough for my long hair. The Doucce lip crayon will be a nice red at least.

I can’t tell if my highlighter pan is rusted without taking it apart. Also getting tired of getting highlighters. I don’t use them.

My box just now left their warehouse! Safe to say I’ll be lucky if it gets here before the new year. It’s definitely not going to be here before Christmas!

I noticed that I was billed $16 for the box this month. Not the normal $10 plus tax. Did this happen to anyone else? I not happy at all.

Received my box today and the Ofra highlighter has rust on the pan. I’ve seen a ton of other complaints online regarding this. Sent an email to Ofra and to Allure. Anybody else receive a rusty highlighter? 😔

I got a shipping email yesterday. That’s just a tracking number. USPS does not have my package yet. It’s the 18th. Don’t think it’s going to be getting here by Christmas.

I just now got my shipping email which means that it has not really shipped yet. The shipping label has been created. I do not see this box showing up before Christmas. I find allure to be worth the money but I am very tired of paying for it when they can’t seem to get it together. Later and later shipping and the variations!

I shuffle around makeup remover wipes based on which have some Target promo whenever I need to refill, so I don’t hate the Neutrogena wipes in general…however the single use packets in a bag horrifies me.

If someone needs to remove their makeup on the go often enough to warrant buying these regularly, they should just be buying a normal pack and keep them wherever. The amount of waste to have a single packet like that is absurd.

There are very few occasions where I need to remove a face of makeup and don’t have either a small travel or overnight bag, or a gym bag, or even at my work desk.

Overall, this box doesn’t hit a home run for me. I’ll use two colors of the highlight, the lippy doesn’t work for my fair skin and red hair, and I’m overloaded in warm tone shadows. I do love Juvia’s shadows though, and I love this mini size, it will also make a fun gift still! Even if I’m not digging this box as much, Allure almost always delivers for me in terms of products, it’s just an off month for me I guess!

I like the brands in this box but I am very fair with neutral, leaning towards pink undertones… I wish subs would send out COOL colors…silver, taupe, green eyeshadows… I love cool tones and not everyone can be “tanned and bronzey”!

My whole purpose for subscribing to beauty boxes is to try new products. Allure does a great job offering different products .Some items I like some I don’t..but its a excellent value.
