I wish that more of us would just leave their [negative] opinions on the products instead of associating them with anyone who may like those same items.

Come on people, this is about beauty products AND somewhat about camaraderie…can’t we leave any general/personal derogatory commentary out of it?

I’m black so a bit disappointed to get tanning related products two months in a row. Hopefully, everything else will be a hit. I have heard that some people with darker skin tones can use a self-tanner to help with skin unevenness. So that might be an option for some. I’ll probably give mine to a coworker.

I’m can use a medium tone for undereye concealer but that’s the lightest I can go. I do have melasma and even with sunscreen, it is definitely much more obvious in the warmer months. I did take the advice and have tried some high end and even Jergens self tanner. My experience was that it did nothing for my skin tone except make it the melasma spots more pronounced. So I simply spot treat the melasma with skin bleach. Just my personal experience.

It’s a so-so allure collection, I don’t use self tanners either. I’ll take a sunscreen though 🙂 I do love getting allure though no matter if I don’t like one or two items.

UGH the last time they sent out self-tanner, mine did not handle the elevation well (I live at 9,000 ft) and it was ALL OVER EVERYTHING and my hands were stained orange for DAYS. Bleh.

I am literally excited for NOTHING in this box. No exaggeration. Thank God I’m only paying $10 for it. The Tanning gel for May will be nice though..

If you sign up today via Amazon, you will get the March box ( with variations I didn’t get in my 3 March boxes).

I received the Au Naturale stick in Grapefruit ( did get this so I’m set for life).

Mamonde Rose Water Toner- sample size and I love it!

Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb ( tiny sample, do not like this brand, wasn’t in my March boxes)

Acure Seriously Soothing Night Oil ( was not in my March box

Londontown Nail polish ( Lakur) in Brit Of Love ( pretty pink- didn’t have this in Mar.)

Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Gel cleanser ( full size, I believe- didn’t get this in March boxes either but it was an option).

Burt’s Bees Glossy Lipstick in Blush Raisin ( looks mauve, not brown at all- didn’t get this in March either).

ALL IN ALL this is a FANTASTIC BUY for $15.00- no shipping no tax from Amazon and this is not old stock- it is all new products from the March 2019 box.

Thought this might help someone on the fence. Amazon will ship out this box until at least April 1.

Hopefully this is enough to actually obtain an all over tan. I’m not sure what the heck to do with a couple sample tan towelettes? I mean, what’s the point of that? Is anybody actually just going to tan one part of their body? Do they have other uses??

Nina..i just tan my face and neck area..so I look like I have been in the sun…i’m older now and I don’t lay out in the sun..just gives you a nice tan glow..

So fingers crossed! 🙂

Allure has been awful the last few months…it seems like since they got the new curator to pick samples, it has really went downhill, except a couple months sparingly. Sad because allure used to be a favorite of mine to find and try new things that I would invest in and buy full sizes of. The last few months have been the worst in like 4 years or so I’ve been subbed to them.

Diane

Excited to try this! Any idea in the size??

Taren

As someone who works in the beauty & skincare industry, I wear copious amounts of sunscreen so I rely on sunless tanners to get any color at all. I cannot get enough of these in as many formulas and varieties as possible! Looks like I’m one of the very few who is pleased with this! As for the snarky “only redheads can use these” type comments, I’m a very dark brown brunette with brown eyes who would have an olive-tan complexion without sunscreen but who is very fair BECAUSE of sunscreen so products like this are a godsend. 🙂

I am very pale with freckles. Dark dark brown hair and green eyes. I burn so easily so tend to avoid the sun. Lots of folks here in the south tan or just get tan from outdoor activities. I also have lymphedema in both legs which makes them look “lumpy” .. and believe me lumpy looks way better tan than paper white! So anybody that hates these self tanners are more welcome to send them my way!!

Taren..i agree with you , I too, am white..but love tanning products..as a woman of older age tanning products or my go to since..i don’t want to lay out in the sun..and I love this tanning gel…its so easy to use…and it works great on me…

My .02

But the thing is…this was already in an allure box a year or two ago. Yeah, I’m sure some maybe were not subbed then, but I want to try new things with new brands…not same old same old and just the type of stuff I wont use. Not everyone wants an orange or tan face, while their body is still pale lol. But if it works for some, then I guess that’s good.

It’s just sad because allure has really went downhill the past year or so since the new curator took over, and with all the other boxes out here how, it’s kinda almost worth it to pay a few more dollars and get full sized items of products to try out vs same old stuff. Heck, next will be sunscreen time and in every single box, which not everyone needs or uses either

Dawn

Just a quick question for anyone who might be able to answer it. My daughter’s March box arrived today. The mamonde rose toner had open up in the Box, and everything is saturated in rose scented liquid. Have any of you ever requested a reshipment and actually had it resent? All the other stuff is still usable, it is just a hot mess. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I just don’t want to waste my time calling them if I’m not going to get any results.

I had missing items and after I emailed to request replacement in February! I actually received a bubble envelope a week ago with the missing items. I have been INCREDIBLY disappointed with ALLURE BOXES lately which is sad because they’ve always been one of my all time favorites compared to others. I have had so many issues with boxycharm charging me but sending me emails claiming they couldn’t successfully charge my account and I end up being charged but NEVER RECEIVING ANYTHING, regardless of my ability to prove successful charges to my account. Scandalous! I’m losing faith in the beauty box business all together.

Yes, I had the Juvia’s place palette with one busted pan; they resent the entire box and I got it before the next month’s box with a tracking number and everything.

However, I had to call. Email did nothing.

I had a nail polish that had opened up and was all over tha other products in the pouch. Allure sent me a whole new kit that arrived about 10 days later. I had emailed them.

Dawn

Yes. Just give them a call. Most likely they will ask what products are in the box and simply reissue a new box. It will take about 3 weeks to get it. Calling works.

I am fine with this. It makes sense with spring and summer on the way. I’m sure self tanning products will show up in many sub boxes as a seasonal item. Thanks Allure!

SarahD

Seriously?! How many people actually use this stuff?! You have to be really white for self tanner…

Reply ButtonReply

Barbara

Sarah: I don’t agree that only those of us who may (or not) be whie use this stuff. Self tanners, although highly controversial on social media, help give a little boost to your face, shoulders or legs when needed. It is not a product you should use to shade those who may like to indulge.

Reply ButtonReply

Dawn

I’ve seen MUCH worse comments posted here on MSA. I don’t think she meant it to be derogatory at all. I’m Italian and quiet personally, I could not agree Ms. SarahD anymore! Self tanners are absolutely useless to a whole lot of people. So, yes, unless you’re white, they are useless. Y’all need to find something better to do than troll and be nasty to people because they chose to voice their opinion. What? Yours is fine but hers is not?

Amanda

I love self tanner and use it year round. I have a lot of redness on my face and a tan helps it look less red. And I wear so much sunblock I never get a natural tan on my face.

Nina

Actually people that are “really white” have a difficult time using self tanner.. it looks soooo unnatural on them.

Michelle

I am far from “really white”, I live in the desert and I use self tanner. Why be so general? If it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for anyone??

Nicole

“My distaste reflects my opinion of myself only” I don’t think that’s what she was saying.💁

SharonDK

I am pretty pale (not as pale as when I was younger, but still pretty darn pale) and I don’t use self-tanner. It never looks natural on me and I’ve tried several. I’d rather be fair then look orange like a contestant on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ but that’s just me. Self tanners and ‘concealer lips’ (I didn’t come up with that description but it’s so correct I’m borrowing it) look like crap on me so I’m skipping these two and may reinstate if May looks interesting. NOTE to all you self tanner fans- I have several friends who look great with this stuff and if I get it in a box, they get it. My distaste reflects my opinion of myself only.

I use it. Guess I’m really white. Lol

Lol me too I’m not allowed in the sun ( cancer survivor) so I live when we get tanning samples

missann

I have olive skin and self tanner improves the color of my skin so I love getting it.

Stacie L Strachan

This is actually my favorite self tanner when I tan. It smells good, is easy to apply and does not streak. My only advise is to use a tanning mitt. It make such a big difference!! Dont worry, they are pretty cheap. And it’s the only one I’ve tried that doesn’t turn me orange!! Glad to see it.

I wonder if the clear formula helps to keep it from going too orangey. I’m looking forward to trying it.

Lol! 🤣 This made me laugh! I don’t know exactly what my ethnic combination is except for my mom’s side, Italian & Jewish doesn’t equal white skinned. The only people I know that actually use this stuff are redheads.

I feel like there’s people on this making fun of people that use Self Tanners … If you’ve ever had ice cream scoop sized cuts to your body to remove melanoma (like I have) you wouldn’t make comments like these on public forums. It’s a sample size, it’s a beauty product, if you can’t use it or don’t want to use it gift it away. It’s like someone with oily skin getting a face lotion for dry skin… it happens. Don’t make stereotypical comments on here. If you don’t like it all you have to say it “I don’t like it” leave it at that.

Angela

Norwegian/German/Irish/English non red head (brown dyed black) and I go from a beautiful golden brown (I have Native Americans asking me if I am Native American) but I turned a GLOWING alabaster white by January here in the pacific NW. If that stuff so much as touched my skin I would look like an Oompa Loompa.

Cat

I’m a pale redhead and even this stuff looks bad fake on me xD

Kathy Piccini

Im a redhead and I dont use self tanners. Careful about stereotyping. Lol.
With that being said I can certainly understand why a little self Tanner sample would be included in a “Summer” box. No, I wont use it. I lived the past 30 yrs in Florida so my skin has grown well accustomed to the sun and tanning. But I can gift it. From the reviews and feedback I’ve seen on this particular self Tanner its one of the best on the market as well.

Reyna Price

I found this month I’ve been getting confused too 🙂 I think it’s because I feel like I’ve been seeing April spoilers for so long that my mind keeps thinking that’s what’ll be in my March box, then when it’s not, I’m slightly confused/disappointed, but recover quickly since it’s almost like a new surprise, and I’ve been liking what I’ve received in my March boxes. 🙂

I know. I’m excited. I’m confused on which self tanner everyone says they like. April has the tanning towels and may the clear gel tanner. I can’t wait to use both.

I am so sorry for your diagnosis. Do anything that makes you feel beautiful! But, I am very pale, like no joke- my theory is that anyone can be tan! But not everyone can be as pale as me!! Lol rock it!! It’s hard, people make comments, but doesn’t everyone want that ‘something’ to be different?

The tan wipes in April’s box were what tempted me to cancel Allure. They offered me a deal to stay, so I did, and then there’s another self-tanning product in the next box?! So useless for so many people.

Ilene Guy

Just an FYI you can put your subscription on hold and skip any month you don’t like. I just give them a call and have them hold a month whenever I don’t want a box. Often times they still send the box and charge me and I just call back and tell them it was supposed to be on hold. They have always reversed the charges if that happens.

Reply ButtonReply

Dawn

I am skipping April… The next round of spoilers will help me decide on May.

Nicole

Couldn’t agree more. I think I’m gonna have to cut the cord on this one. Unusable/undesirable shades in the April box and self tanner that a lot of people won’t use in May…I’m just not feeling it anymore. The rest of this box would have to be jaw dropping to get me to keep it.

Gah, I got this in last year’s Sephora Sun Safety package.

Don’t use self-tanner in any form.

Still waiting on my March box, which is somewhere between Glendale Heights IL and here.
