You can either get two hair sheets with $1.00 each or a sample size of a $200 cream or the deluxe sample size of a $44 self tanner AND mitt. I hope that’s a mistake. I’d love to try that tanner and I’d really love to try a $200 face cream but not so into a $2.00 worth of hair care.

Disingenuous of Allure to lead with a spoiler for May that turns out to be a variant, especially since we could end up with two $1 hair sheets instead instead of the St. Tropez tanning gel and mitt they featured as Spoiler #1.

Why is Allure including a product in the May box that’s no longer for sale? Note in the product list above, there’s no link for the Model Co Rose Gold Eyelite. That eyeshadow is no longer on the Model Co website, nor any place else that I could find. Liz reviewed it more than 2 years ago, in February 2017, in the Look Fantastic Box. Sketchy.

The lue powder was also in glossyboxy about 3/4 years ago as well. Allure is seriously went downhill in the past couple of years since their last beauty editor/curator left. Espically since they seem to be recycling the same products. The hair oil sephora sent out a year or so ago…same size, brand etc. And the brow gal isnt a good brand that we got already in boxy and another box that slips my mind now….but allure is gettimg really nad.

I had no clue the co. had DC’d the product. I’ll be contacting them if I get this ( and I’ll likely get 3 of them).
They should never have promoted an expired product via Allure Beauty Box.

I’m wondering if Allure is sending out old leftover stock now, and I’d never worried or wondered about this before now. Eye products have to be free of bacterial or fungal growth to be safe, and who knows about this shadow?
( I did think it was pretty when I got it in LF in 2017, though).

Safety before beauty, always.

Who said the product is expired? Where are you getting that information?

Coco

How interesting – I checked the ModelCo website just now, and suddenly, the Eyelite St. Barts is now there. The website labels it a “new” product [really?], and now the price is only $12, not the $19 it was when Liz reviewed it 2 years ago.

I ended up with a set of LaRitzy glosses from Ipsy for ~ $10, and Vibe, the one in the upcoming Allure box, is one of the shades. I must have been bored that day.

It’s a match to MUFE Artist Liquid Matte #105.. Meaning, if you have MUFE #105 or find a better photo than LaRitzy’s, it’s a light nude with a non-pink undertone.
Neither are wearable for me.

Lilly

The Model Co. Eyelite in St. Barth’s is gorgeous. It was in the Look Fantastic February 2017 box.
This, the AmorePacific and the Laneige should cover the price of the box..

Also, if ordered via Amazon, there’s no sales tax added on. It’s a flat charge of $15/ month, if that matters to anyone. $1.08 more expensive from Allure shouldn’t break the bank, right? 😉
I get one box from Allure and 2 from Amazon, and the difference in sales tax has always been present.

I hope Amazon omits the LaRitzy lip gloss. 😉

Do your boxes from Allure contain different products than the ones you get from Amazon?

Reply ButtonReply

Charlotte

Not until recently. We got a different variable in March (though the products everyone were supposed to get were included). In April, they replaced the ABH lipstick with two hair product samples, despite it being advertised as a non-variant item, and they are now telling Amazon subscribers (if you call and ask) that future boxes may differ from spoilers. Allure is very much trying to push people away from subscribing to Amazon. Since I had issues with shipping and billing when I subscribed to Allure, and I can no longer rely on spoilers for my Amazon subscription, I just dropped the Allure box completely.

Jvaeps

I feel like the Allure box has been inconsistent. Some boxes are awesome, some are meh.. I loved the Sunday Riley box and Kat von D box. Wish they would have more boxes like this. Especially for the price. It’s almost as much as Boxycharm and you only get good samles every once in a while.

This subscription is $16 a month. Not sure why I see people posting $10..

First box is $10.

Also, if you call to cancel, the customer service people frequently offer 4 boxes at $10 each as an incentive to stay.

Jen

Just got my April box, and it’s full of disappointment. I’m sick of nude matte lipstick. I got a purple eye pencil and a bronze eye shadow, and both colors are awful on me. I don’t do self tan so that product is also wasted on me. Judging by the spoilers I got on the card in my box and here, next month looks like a solid skip for me. There’s always something I can use in each box, but this month it all sucked.

I just emailed them about getting the plastic, broken bag with subpar products for $10.00 a month for 4 months , hopefully they say yes or it’s adios . I see air people getting Thai $10.00 deal not to cancel so I’m jumping ship , what’s the worst they could say no . Then bah- bye allure it’s not worth $15.00

My plastic bag was broken too and they ignored me, I said I wanted to cancel but they didn’t reply and kept trying to charge me.

Allure seems to being doing a lot of bait and switch lately. Putting out a spoiler then a week or so later they say it’s a variant. The last few boxes have been blah for me. But since I was going to cancel they are only $10 right now. And they are worth 10 bucks. Once the four months of $10 is over, I will probably cancel.

I’m glad I skipped May for Allure , customer service was good emailed them so I can skip a month . There’s always gonna be a few duds in subs , and May wasn’t good for a few of them . So I skipped a few of my subs saved money and put it towards one time purchase boxes of stuff I’d really utilize .

Me too. And I have been a loyal subscriber through Allure, not Amazon, for 4 1/2 years, with no breaks. This box is absolutely AWFUL, and it was supposed to be such a special collaboration. I got the worst color of eyeshadow (Morgana), and a gold eyeliner – neither of which I’ll use. And no lipstick. Instead, I got a card that says due to a supplier shortage of Briogeo, I’ll get two other hair products. But the Briogeo was in my bag, along with 2 other hair products. (2 of the 3 are for frizzy hair, which I don’t have and won’t use). And no lipstick. And no explanation from Allure why I didn’t receive the lipstick, which was not supposed to be a variant item. I wear nude lipsticks, and was looking forward to it. This box has just totally nosedived in quality IMO.

Rosalin Hunter

I’m pretty disappointed with this whole year too. It was my favorite one for a long time and cancelled Play and Birchbox. Just sent in a cancellation notice 5 minutes ago. I’m done with mystery boxes. My skin knows what it likes and it is none of the above.

Melissa

Me, too, but I hate to skip again. I just skipped Feb and April. They sent me gifts in the past for being a loyal subscriber, so I hate to keep skipping, but this year has been really bad. 🙁 That lip gloss looks hideous.

Jackie

Has anyone tried the Lanige product yet? I’m wondering how thick it is.

I could do without the pale lip gloss (I will say though, the ABH lipstick in April is very wearable. It’s MUCH more mauve than the pictures imply), but I’m actually interested in most of the rest. There’s several unique brands and some new products.

I was debating cancelling, but I think this box will surprise me.

I clicked on it and it took me to the Sephora page for it. The video is hilarious! I was looking for a reason to not skip a month for the first time ever and thought that maybe if the laneige was full size, it might be worth it. Then I read the ingredients. I don’t understand why urea is even an ingredient anymore.

Laneige waterbank moisture cream is a big No for me, not thick but not enough moisture, my face gets oily the next morning, and in my country – Vietnam, it’s very cheap. So that nothing is tempting this month. AmorePacific mask is luxurious (10ml I guess) but I got it in New beauty Test Tube.

I have oiler skin and use a lot of gel moisturizers and such. The Laneige Waterbank Cream I use and like though. I just use less in daytime and go heavier at night. I don’t find it greasy. Laneige can really do no wrong for me though, I rarely come across a product of theirs that I don’t like.

I hope they discontinue those plastic makeup bags they use to put products in now. Every single one I have gotten is ripping at the seam or broken when I open the box so in the trash it goes. Big waste…

I haven’t had a ripped one yet but I’ll tell you what if it wasn’t for that bag I wouldn’t have a April box because whoever’s the mail man was yesterday put my box in the rain!

I use the ones that arent ripped and put them in my globe box of my vehicles and keep my insurence and the resgitration in it that way of i ever get pulled over, or something happens, i cant just grab the whole bag out amd its right there in one spot.
I have also gave them to everyone i know and negighbors, to do the same thing with. Haha

Search that lip product on Google and then hit ‘images’… what is up with all of the super pale lip products in these boxes. I know that white lipstick was a thing in the late 60s and early 70s, but I did not realize it has made a resurgence….

Ipsy is officially my favorite subscription. I received my April bag today along with my Allure April box. I have just now canceled Allure. Enough said on that. Although my curated Ipsy items were okay, the add on items are AWESOME. I added the Jelly Pong lop oil, the Seraphine Botanicals Berry+Juice lippie and a 111 Skin skincare item… Both of the lip items are really deluxe sizes! And they are both amazing! I wish I would have skipped the serum and added the other lip juice product. I am so happy with this bag! I LOVE ADD-ONS! So much better of a sub box than Allure!

So I got my April box today and it was completely consonant with my drive home.

Got ANOTHER accursed black liner. I don’t know why they promise a variety of shades since everyone reporting in has gotten black.

Got a Luxie brush – which I already got from Ipsy AND BoxyLuxe.

The Anastasia lip color is godawful – even my husband echoed my “IICCKK”.

Got the Briogeo blow-dry cream – I air dry only.

The tan towels are useless. I don’t use ANY kind of self-tanner.

The only good thing was the eyeshadow. I got the gold one, which was what I was hoping for.

The bag is clear and arrived undamaged (Still rather have the red box).

I received my April box over the weekend.

Anastasia Lip in Pure Hollywood – I can’t wear it, but hopefully one of my daughters can/will.
Laura Gellar liner in Black Gold – actually very pretty, and one I will wear.
Briogeo Anti Frizz heat protectant – I air dry, but will try it and see if it stops frizz without being heat activated.
ND eyeshadow in Gold – wearable color, goes well with the eye liner
Luxie Brush – I love getting brushes, less washing for me! 😀
Tan towels – I don’t know anyone that will use them offhand, but will try to pass them along.

Out of everything received for April, 4 I am keeping to at least try, 2 I am passing off to others. I consider that worth my $15. 🙂

I got a green eye liner. I’m sure someone out there would wear green eyeliner and rock it, but I would look like a clown.

I always find that I hate the spoilers and then find cool things when the box comes. I’ve subscribed to six different boxes at various points. This is the first time EVERYTHING in the box went into the donate pile. Hoping for better luck next month.

I wouldn’t mind except that Laura Geller eye products are hard to find. I can try the black to see if I like the formula, but since neither Sephora nor Ulta carry them, I would have to order directly.

I can’t even find the rose gold anywhere.

I got rose gold and the gold eyeshadow.

from this box i wish to get thee things, but unfortunatlly, two of them are in possible items:( I dont’t have fizzy hair and i absoutly don’t neet this sheets. i hoped than may will be better than april. For me skincare products are more interesting than makeup.

I’ve really liked Allure for a long time been subscribed since it was part of beauty bar sample society. They’ve recently been shipping Amazon subscribers different items and leaving out items that aren’t listed as variants like the ABH lipstick, it seems sketchy to say the least.

Their system is bad and kicks out additional subscriptions and there are issues for people that were once subscribed resubscribing and being canceled. I totally understand why people use Amazon but their treatment of the Amazon Allure subscribers is making me want to cancel. I still get several beauty boxes but may cancel this one on principle.

Second time trying to post this answer. In short this time, contact Allure (phone is always better) and complain and they will agree to send you the ABH.

Reply ButtonReply

Nicole

If you call Allure and complain, they are agreeing to send the ABH. Don’t ask me why they didn’t just send it in the first place if they had it, but they will inform you Amazon boxes will vary in the future and if you want to be sure to get the advertized spoilers, they suggest you sign up direct. But they will also agree to send the ABH.

Reply ButtonReply

Charlotte

Wait, they didn’t include all the products for Amazon subscribers this month? (I canceled for April, so I didn’t receive a box, but I’m curious as to what I would have received.)

I do feel like Allure is trying to force subscribers away from Amazon; in February, everyone else got a full size lip or eye product while Amazon subs just got a deluxe serum sample, and in March Amazon subscribers again got a wildly different variant with multiple products different from the spoilers. It’s really shady on Allure’s part, because a big reason people subscribe through Amazon is because Amazon actually ships boxes on time. Also, you can skip a box, something Allure won’t let you do if you subscribe through them.

Kinda think I’m done with Allure for a while.

Kristin

I thought the sub through Amazon was an alternate box, was it typically identical? What is the advantage through Amazon besides earlier shipping? Thanks!

Reply ButtonReply

Anna

The Amazon boxes were usually all one variant but the main items were always included. This time Amazon’s subs didn’t get the ABH lipstick and received two hair products instead.Renee Furterer texture spray and John Freida finishing creme both 1oz samples.

The lipstick wasn’t listed as a variant, and the Amazon subscribers are paying the same price.

Luna

I’ve never subbed through Amazon, but from what I’ve heard… ease of cancelling is another pro. You can cancel through your account with Amazon, but with Allure you have to either email or call Allure to cancel.

Tara

Do you get your box through amazon?
