This is my 2nd box since resubscribing. I used to be a subscriber for like a year but I cancelled a while back, now I remember why. The only 2 things I got on this spoiler was the Natashia Deona shadow and the tan towelettes.

Loved the shadow and the brush but that was about it. I knew it was a mistake to use that Tan towel! I just spent 20 minutes trying to scrub the gross blotches all over my arms off!

I use the Tarte tan lotion which is great but this tan towel was terrible!

I received the Aubade eyeshadow but I really wanted the Morgana, in case anyone wants to trade.

I’m confused – I received neither.
I received the Natasha Denona in the 124k Bronzage, which I’m sure is pretty on someone out there somewhere … But of which I’ll never wear. However, I see there’s a “pinkish” one I which is what I saw in my email and brochure, I thought, that I would have.. But they always send me orange /gold /yellow wild stuff. 🙁

Disappointed with this month.
Natasha Denosha eyeshadow (bronze color. It’s okay)
Luxie eyeshadow brush (I have about 100 shadow brushes from sub boxes already)
Briogeo farewell frizz sample (I air dry and don’t use heat tools…)
Vita Liberate tan towels (I’ll probably use these at least)
Lasplash Art-ki-tekt liquid eyeliner pen (Again, not the brand I was expecting. But I’m okay with it as I liked the last one allure sent)
Juvias Place The Nubian pallette (just a repeat of the last beauty blogger colab. I haven’t even used the 1st one I got, why would I want a second pallette?)

Missing the lippy, which, tbh was the only product this month I was super stoked on.

🙁

I don’t think you’d like the lippy… unless they come in very colors this pure Hollywood color I got looks like makeup color. It’s gross. Not just that it’s a flat color when it dries. You absolutely have to put a gloss or some other lipstick over it. I really feel they’re starting to put Duds in kits.

Dawna

Yeah…. They went from Sunday Riley to Walmart! I certainly will not use the lippy but I’m someone at the women’s shelter will be happy to have it. As a longtime, loyal customer, I got a “scraps” box. John Frieda?! Seriously?! That’s $0.99 at Walmart! What’s next? Ponds cold cream like Ipsy pulled? 😂 Maybe some Noxema and seabreaze? At this point, store brands would not surprise me.

Maria

I got the exact same products. I didn’t like a single product other than the ND eyeshadow but that’s only because I wanted to try the formula. I didn’t like the color much. I already had that Nubian palette too. I didn’t realize until I read this that my lip product was missing. I’m not going to bother asking for it. May and June spoilers don’t look good to me at all so I’m just going to cancel. Their boxes are so hit or miss with me. I’m sure I’ll resubscribe at some point.

Yeahp, call them. I got the same things you did. Called them. They tried to tell me that lippie was only for new customers. I know that’s a lie. Anyways, they said they would send the lippie

I am kind of disappointed. I didn’t get the lip color and I got a gold eyeliner. And I received a sample size John Frieda Frizz Ease. I guess to take the place of the lippie?

I am an Amazon subscriber and I received:
The Laura Geller liner in purple. Love it!
A Natasha Denona shadow in a bronze shade that I am giving away. Just not for me.
A Luxie 231 brush. I can always use a brush.
Those tan cloths which I will also be giving away.
Briogeo Farewell Frizz creme. I love this brand and happy to try this.
John Frieda Secret Weapon Finishing Creme. Not crazy about this brand at all but I will probably give it a try.
Rene Furterer Vegetal Texture Spray. Not something that I am jazzed about but I will probably use it.

Not my favorite box but there are things I will use in here.

I got my April box and am happy with what it. I will get use out of almost every product. I got the navy eyeliner and am happy with the color and how smooth it goes on. The bronze eye shadow is fantastic, and I can always use another brush. I was excited to see the frizz free hair product. The tan towels will probably get used. The only thing that will remain unopened is the lip gloss – I wish it had gone to one of you who got an extra hair product, which would have been great for me since I don’t ever wear lip product. Overall, I’m happy with Allure. The point of these subscription boxes is to try new products that you might not have otherwise purchased, not to provide everyone with products they already use – frankly, I don’t understand all of the complaints about not getting exactly what you want. If you want a particular product, why don’t you just buy it rather than subscribe to a service that sends out a variety of samples each month?

Then you should definitely try the lip product. It is always good to get the chance to try products you normally would not buy.

I received ANOTHER Juvia’s Place Nubian Palette instead of the Anastasia Liquid Lip. I don’t necessarily care that I didn’t get the liquid lip, but I am extremely upset to be getting a repeat item! I didn’t sign up for left overs!

I’ve been subscribed for over a year! I understand sending past items to new subscribers, but not long term subscribers!!

Allure needs to get it together!

Trisha M.

Same here! I got the palette which has unusable frosted eyeshadows and then a separate single frosted gold eyeshadow. Ugh. The tanning stuff, which is also no good for me. It’s like they designed this box for a bronze goddess instead of the average woman. Give us some neutral eyeshadows that we can wear on a daily basis. I get that it’s fun to have a sparkly bright color now and then for fun, but c’mon this is too much. I’ll be giving away 4 out of the 6 items.

Alexis

Same here, but I also got the December black liquid eye liner as well as the Nubian pallette.

Reply ButtonReply

Nat

Got the same. So mad a Allure. The December eyeliner and Nubian pallet

Melissa

I also received different products than the spoilers. I didn’t get the Anastasia lippie. Instead of the Laura Geller eyeliner I got an LASplash one (black), and instead of the Moda brush advertised I got Morphe M433 Pro Firm blending fluff brush.

I also got a Juvia eyeshadow palette. Then I go look at the booklet and it says your box will contain the eyeshadow palette ($20), or Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow ($80), or Sunday Riley A+ ($85). If you’re going to give me the el cheapo eyeshadow palette I’m not even going to use then please just don’t even tell me that I got that instead of a Sunday Riley product! UGH.

I also still haven’t received my La Mer from last month. I emailed them a couple weeks ago and they replied to say I should have received it on March 25 but they’re sending another. Still waiting……..

I didn’t sub through amazon and there is no lippie in my box. So it’s not Amazon box issue

Katie

Same here. I’ve been a long-time subscriber directly through Allure and no liquid lipstick. Instead I received a note saying “due to an unforeseen supplier shortage” they’re including John Frieda Frizz Ease Finishing Creme and Rene Furterer Vegetal Texture Spray (grrr. the only product I wanted this month was the lipstick). I’m curious who exactly received the Anastasia product… perhaps NEW Allure-direct subscribers?

Reply ButtonReply

Twyla

Hi Katie,

I have been subscribed direct through Allure since November 2018, and I did actually receive the Anastasia lip. I actually didn’t care if i received lip personally, hair products are far more useful to me than that lip color, but that is just my own personal taste.

You might be able to find it up on swaps, sounds like a few people find the shade unsuited to their skin tone.

Teresa F

Same here. I don’t subscribe through Amazon and I did not get the lip gloss and got 3 hair products, none of which I will use! This is getting ridiculous! What is happening to a once reliable and great sub box??

For everyone screaming and complaining about variants and getting different items than are spoiled, please do yourself a favor and go look at their site. The items are different now. A company does have the right to change items without notice as there is NO GUARANTEE anywhere on the site you will get the exact items listed. Believe me I checked for you.

It it seems to be absolute silliness all this complaining. The value of the box you receive far exceeds the value of the 15$ you pay for the box. You are still getting what you signed up for believe it or not. If you don’t like it, simply unsubscribe to the box. 1st world complaints…..

Dawna

I hear your opinion and point of view. You are entitled to it just as much as the rest of us are entitled to ours. When someone has been subscribed to a subscription service for a long time and they get emails from that subscription service showing and stating what they are sending in the box, yes, we have a right to angry about getting “bottom of the barrel”, “scraps” & “leftovers” instead. I have actually spoken with Allure on the phone about it and I was told the same thing I just said. They need to be more clear about things and make sure loyal customers don’t get the scraps.
As far as your “first world problems” comment goes, please check yourself. Even in the USA, we have children that go hungry every single day. It’s not just some “first world problem”. There are 3 shelters near me. One is for families and another just for battered women and children. That is were a lot of the items I won’t use go. Have a lovely week.

Wow….just wow.

It does not matter what the site shows today! We paid weeks ago, when a completely different box was shown on the site. We have every right to be upset!

So according to your logic, it’s ok for them to change what you’re going to receive after you pay for it? In what world do you live in? No where ever, has this been ok. Who are you to tell others ? Let people vent, they have every right to!

Again a company does have the right to change items without notice as there is NO GUARANTEE anywhere on the site you will get the exact items listed. Believe me I checked for you.

And I live in the real world, where companies do business. Please don’t be upset with me for saying the obvious. They substituted items due to a shortage with products or equal value. They have the right to do this.

Dawn

Agreed! The video they sent me in my email CLEARLY showed the contents that I could expect, including that AWFUL lippie. This is not acceptable that Allure changed the contents after boxes were purchased.

Lorena

I didn’t sub through Amazon, but I also didn’t get the ABH lippie or the Laura Geller eyeliner. I got a Juvia’s place little palette and a liquid eyeliner from LA Splash instead. Everything else I received was from the spoilers. I’m dissapointed that I didn’t get what was advertised.

Mellissa Plowman

I got mine today and in a clear bag came:
Luxie brush (okay)
Briogeo Farewell Frizz sample (pass)
Laura Geller eyeliner in violet (gorgeous)
Natasha Denona eyeshadow in Bronzage (GORGEOUS!)
Vita Liberata tan cloth
and Anastasia lippie in Pure Hollywood (the color is so much lighter than my lip color that it makes me look dead)

Overall I love the Natasha Denona and the Laura Geller products so it was worth it.

I am so angry. I bought my Allure through Amazon and it did NOT include the ABH Lippie. I wrote the them right away, but (again) they did not respond.

I have been buying through Amazon along with my regular direct account through Allure and never had this issue before. So now, they are not responding and not including one of the promised items. Bah humbug!

As an extremely fair skinned person, I can’t begin to say how excited I was to receive YET ANOTHER black eyeliner and bright orange shimmery eyeshadow (Morgana) !! Uggh, totally unwearable for me. Given the range of colors for Laura Geller, what are the odds I would receive black again, amirite?? Shelters near me wont take unsealed products and I am tired of trying to unload these products off on friends and acquantances so into the trash you both go!! So disappointing, I was so excited to try these both. PLEASE PLEASE STOP with the black eyeliners, we are swimming in them!! End rant.

Totally agree!!! I was so excited to get a charcoal color one time, and then realized it just looked like a black that had run dry. How about no more eyeliners at all?! I have a drawer full of them! I’m even starting to feel that way about liquid lipsticks….!

I would trade all of my highlighters and white face powders for liquid lip stuff…lol

Barbara

I just received this month’s bag (from Amazon) and have to say that there was NO ANASTASIA LIPSTICK! This is not acceptable and if this is how they do business without correction…it is not OK.

If Allure will not guarantee their monthly goods in an AMAZON subscription, then what good is it? If they do not correct this wrong, I say why even buy their bags from Amazon???

An email from Allure today tells me that my beauty box has shipped… this is the text from that email “This month, star beauty vlogger Carli Bybel helped us stock your Beauty Box. She’s well-known by her six million (!) YouTube subscribers as a master of the smoky eye, so get ready for some sultry eye-makeup essentials, along with their perfect companion—a nude liquid lipstick. We’re also including one of the most innovative self-tanners we’ve tried, because (let’s face it) most of us could use a little help glowing into the new season.”
So everyone who gets a variant box through Amazon should contact Allure. I plan on doing that.

Mellissa

I received the lip color and it is such a light shade that it is not wearable for me. It looks like I’ve rubbed an ivory foundation on my lips. I have lips that look dead. Horrible.

Barbara

Dawn, I did just that this past week (3 x actually) and they still have not responded. This just riles me no end. I love the box, but this kind of nonsense ruins it…

Barbara

I just received my April bag (via Amazon) and there was NO Anastasia Lipstick!

This is just NOT alright and I am pissed. I wrote to allure about this but have not yet heard back. If this is how they are going to do biz…well, it ain ‘t good!

Call them.

Call the 800 number. At least you can talk to someone.

Regardless of where the box was purchased, the Allure site indicated that EVERYONE would receive the Anastasia lippie. These boxes are all assembled and shipped from Allure. I see no point in calling Allure on this. It will get you nowhere. I will take this to Amazon. They need to have Allure up their standards. Amazon should have a lot more pull than subscribers. I think Allure must have set aside all the orange shadow and black eyeliner for Amazon subscribers. So sorry I ordered a second box through Amazon…not!

Amanda: Buying through AMAZON should not preclude a substandard curation! I just received this month’s bag (from Amazon) and have to say that there was NO ANASTASIA LIPSTICK! This is not acceptable and if this is how they do business without correction…it is not OK.

I’ve not had this concern before, but for something as substantial (and expected) as an Anastasia Lipstick, well that should be noted and protested.

If you go to reddit on r/beautyboxes you can see posts from some folk who’ve already received their Amazon-ordered boxes. It looks like so far all the Amazon boxes have the shade Morgana for the ND shadow. They also have the tan towels and eyeliner, and seem to all have received the Luxie brush. However none of them have had the Anastastia liquid lip and instead there are three hair products in deluxe sample sizes. Not sure of any of the Allure-direct subbed boxes have shipped yet as haven’t seen any of those posts!

Reply ButtonReply

Barbara

That is exactly my experience. NO ANASTASIA lippie…this should NOT be tolerated. If you buy through Amazon and they cannot guarantee their product curation, they should advertise it as such.

Jen

Oh – and as for reliability – yes, never had any problems plus it is super easy to sign up and then cancel, and re-sub if you want a future box. Amazon bill you every month as at your sign up date as opposed to start of month etc.

Lilly

Let me try this one again. ;).

The booklet in the Amazon box doesn’t list the Anastasia lip product, so it seems to me that it was not supposed to be in the box from the start.

I received 7 products in my Allure boxes from Amazon, and for people like me with sometimes frizzy hair, I’m sure I’ll use at least some of the products ( there are 3 hair products including the Brigeo anti-frizz product._)

I likely will not use the Vita Liberata product, but that’s personal preference and a history of not getting the product to look evenly applied.

All my shadows were Morgana, and it’s a lovely color which should be a pretty pinkish- peachy shade with some sparkle for summer.

My Laura Geller eyeliners were either dark green or dark blue. There was some sort of internal issue at Amazon, and I ended up with 4 boxes from them.
I also got the La Mer little green boxes with the samples, and the products are sweet.

I’ll likely donate 3 Allure and 3 La Mer boxes to the local women’s shelter, IF they’ve changed their policy of disallowing non-full sized products,since Amazon didn’t want anything returned.
Overall, I REALLY like this month’s box, and love the shades of the variables I received.

Jennifer

Anyway you’d want to trade some items with me?

Dawn

The booklets are different based on the box you receive. There is not only one version. The Allure online video of the April box featuring Bybel points out the eyeshadow as her face item and the lippie as the second favorite. I am of the opinion that EVERY box should have included the Anastasia product, regardless of where the box purchase originated. They are ALL shipped from Conde Naste.

Lilly

Wow, my mail carrier put the Allure Beauty Boxes on our front porch, but when hubby unlocked the mailbox, there are 4 La Mer green boxes with the samples of their signature products. Cream and serum. Yay for Amazon. 🙂

Hi,

The Amazon box was not curated to ever include the Anastasia lipstick.( Personally, I’m happy because I like the brand’s brow products but not the other things).

The boxes– I received 4 due to a shipping error or errors—- contain the following:

1) Laura Geller eye pencil . I received 2 in shade ” Green River” and 2 in ” Midnight Blue”

2) Natasha D. eye shadow single in a closeable compact . I got 4 shades of Morgana and luckily do like it very well.

3) Luxie brush

4) Pack of 2 Vita Liberata tan towels

5) John Frieda Secret Weapon Frizz Ease Finishing Creme

6) Rene Furterer Style Finish Vegetal Texture Spray- this is an aerosol can.

7) Briogeo Farewell Frizz cream

*** The variant products are both ADDITIONS, since the booklet shows the Briogeo product but the glossy full color heavy stock ” note” says it’s not included and the other two hair products are substitutes. They did pack the Biogeo in all 4 of my boxes

One thing to note: If your box also has 7 products instead of 5, there will be an ORM-D sticker on the box end,

I know some people have issues with receiving the ORM-D labeled boxes.

This is a FAB little box for $15 shipped, and no tax. 🙂

I received the Amazon box. There is no lipstick. A note states an unforeseen supplier shortage of Briogeo… but I got the sample tube of Briogeo Farewell Frizz. Instead of the lipstick, I received .88 oz Furterer Vegetal Texture Spray and 1oz Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Finishing Cream.
Completing my box are the eyeliner in After Midnight, eyeshadow in Moranga, 2 tanning towels, and Luxie brush.

Michelle

Hmm … so you got 2 hair product samples instead of the full size lipstick. That’s not great, but I didn’t like the shade of the lipstick anyway. I was looking forward to the Briogeo in travel size since I use and like it. I haven’t tried any of the 3 other hair products you got, so okay. Laura Geller’s eyeliners are outstanding, but I was hoping for any color but black.

I subscribed in March. Per my tracking, my March box had arrived yesterday. Well it actually didn’t. They seriously sent me a small “La Mer” box with the little bonus items and that’s it. Like I was just going to be cool with that. I got charged for April, which would be fine if I had received March’s box instead of two microscopic samples labeled as bonus items. This company sucks. I wholeheartedly regret resubscribing and advise anyone considering subscribing to Allure to browse through comments in respect to their customer service. It’s lacking.

I don’t blame you for being annoyed – BUT I love the La Mer set! I would never try La Mer product$ on my own bc I have plenty of more affordable brands already so I was happy to receive that Allure gift.
If you don’t receive your box soon you should definitely dispute the charge! (Yeah, it’s l a total pain.)
