May box includes:
AP youth revolution
Laneige

Allure appears to be going the way of ipsy. Garbage brands. Another Laneige product, seriously? Glad this is my last month in my year subscription.

You’re right another Laneige for next month’s box.

I got a LaRitzy liquid lipstick in one of my Ipsy bags. The formula is very drying and tastes like what I would imagine motor oil to taste like. Not a fan.

I created a second account in November to get the full size SR (which I did), then cancelled both accounts in January. When I say February box, I wanted to resubscribe, so I did, but used the address that was in autocomplete, so it created a new account. Allure took my money but immediately credited my account but did not contact me at all. I finally called them and they cancelled it because I “had another account.” Even though neither was active. So CS said she could not send February’s box but would send me a gift. (La Mer). I looked up my account a few days later, still no account. Call again. This lady assures me she can send me the February box. Ok. Look a week later, still no account. I call again, finally get someone to set up my account.
Just now got March’s box. Sent an email to CS last night and they shipped me a February box after I told them how unhappy and disappointed I was about it.
But I know Feb and March are going to be near duplicates of each other.

After thinking I’d never cancel this subscription, I did because I was a little tired of the regular inclusion low level/unknown cosmetic brands and the lack of variety in types of products included. While I, overall, think this is still a good value, and I realize there are some great name brand products that are included (have loved the Sunday Riley products!) , I felt like there were more items each month that I wouldn’t use or already had a good supply of from previous Allure boxes so there was little to get excited about each month. And then those “fall apart” makeup pouches…

Same here. Especially compared to the other boxes I get, Birchbox and Ipsy GBP, Allure has been consistently disappointing me. I only let it go bc it was $10, but now they’re raising prices,so I’m out.
Reply
Nicole Tetreau
How do you feel about Birchbox? I’m looking for something to replace Allure. I already have GBP and they are killing all the competition. When I first started sub boxes BB was really not that great, but it seems like they have really improved?

Thanks for the spoilers! The exfoliator is a bit tempting, but for now I think I will pass on another month unless the next spoilers are great. I almost resubbed this month as I’ve never tried Natasha Denona. However, since it was a single color, I decided to skip it too. I may be in the minority, but I would’ve preferred a trio of the colors in smaller sizes to the full size in a random color. This is actually great though. I need to save money and no boxes have tempted me lately after FFF for spring. I kind of want Boxy for the palette this month, but probably won’t get it either. Looking forward to Ipsy plus next month though! I rely on spoilers to tell me when to sub, unsub, pause, etc. So thanks again!!!

I redeemed Ipsy points for a LaRitzy holographic lip gloss and it is very pretty and not sticky I am not sure why people hate it but I mean I guess that’s allowed. You do you.
Reply

Maybe they aren’t hating this gloss in particular but just glosses in general. That’s me. I love lipsticks, but I’m not big on glosses overall.

April was the first month I got and I loved it! I got 3 what looked to be full-size products and another 3 deluxe travel size items and I liked them all except the lipstick which I don’t use. Truly, stop griping and cancel already! No need to bitch about what is in the box. If you don’t like it cancel and go to another! Lord knows there are plenty out there. I have subscribed to many boxes and if I get tired of the box or don’t like the items on a consistent basis I just do a little research and on to the next box! That is part of the fun of boxes, trying all the different ones.

I don’t get it. Why all of the complaints about the box? If you don’t like the items they are offering, then try another box. It seems pretty simple. Heck, I have had big time issues with many subscriptions and will no doubt continue to have more, but if I don;t like some items, I either give it another month or two, OR I just cancel and move on.
I love ALLURE and when I stop loving them, I will find an alternative, but in the meantime I find they offer me items that even if I didn’t want them, they make me break with my comfort zone and I have found many new faves in the groups that I thought I would hate. I think it’s always good to stretch and grow a bit…and when that doesn’t fell good, then find a new route to that end.

Yes! Thank you! It really does seem like the comments sections on MSA has become a bashing ground for the holier than thows, so to speak. We all have opinions but God forbid if it isn’t super happy and positive! Y’all have a choice wether or not you read every single comment then take the time to comment on the comments you don’t like and try to put others where you think they should be. Scroll on troll, scroll on.

Ewww, yuck! Laritzy!

Anyone else think that Laritzy is the WORST BRAND? Anything I’ve ever tried from them has gone straight into the trash, where it belongs. Not impressed with this offering, and I can’t wait for this brand to just die off already. I hate it!!!!!
Got a lip pencil of theirs, it was a MILLIMETERS LONG pencil TIP of patchy oil trash. Got a highlighter stick that was the perfect shade of jaundice with no reflective properties whatsoever. May is looking like a perfect month to unsub!!
Reply
Barbara
Femmebrulee: I have used many (most) high end brands and yet have found Laritzy to be a good standby. I’m not sure why you are so down with this brand, but I have found them to be consistent in quality and value. Everything I have gotten from them, is a good piece and one that stands up in my [too vast] vanity collection.

I like Laritzy. I have several of their stick highlighters, a creme highlighter, and several lipsticks, which I have discovered thanks to subs. I carry around a couple of the lippies because they wear well.
Just a thought for those of you who throw Laritzy in the trash, why don’t you save them and then donate to your local foster children organization around Christmas? Teenage girls love makeup and this would be very welcome in the non-profit world. Plus, better for the environment than just being tossed – doing good two ways and getting rid of trash to boot.
Nicole
I agree with the Laritzy, they are garbage products. Also, I would never pay $16 for a lip gloss. It’s a freeking lip gloss, all it has to do for me is provide sheer coverage without being sticky. I can probably find a half a dozen of those at my local drugstore that will do that for half the price. If it were Doucce, I’d be happy. The lip crayon we got from them was absolutely beautiful and they make some really nice mascaras, but Laritzy consistently disappoints. I used to find a holy grail in Allure every month, now I’m lucky if I find one every 3 months. It used to seem like they prided themselves on bringing quality tried and true products, now I feel like they just look for a bunch of crap to put in their boxes. Some may think I’m being hard on them, but this box used to be a hundred times better and it’s went downhill so fast.

U should move on then. 😉

I agree about Laritzy… and what’s up with the lip shade? I am actually a whiter shade of pale… this lipcolor is simply awful for my skintone. This is definitely a skipped month for me. January was such a great box… what happened Allure?

For me and the Allure box, I can be not at all excited about what I’m getting and then I try them and end up loving most if not all the products. So even if May is looking whatever, I still am pretty pumped.

Honestly, I have about 20 lippies in the same or similar color sitting in a box never used and I keep saying I should try to trade them. Then I see a lot of folks got the same color and hates them as much as I do. I only recently subscribed to Allure I figured I’d give it a few months and see how I feel. I will wait but so far I’m not that impressed.

I agree…but at least it’s not red or mauve! I have soooooo many of those!

I would do anything to recieve a mauve or burgandy lippie. All I ever get is the same ugly terracotta nude colors. I hardly ever come across mauve lip products on the trade site, sure wish I did.
Charlotte
Put them up for swap, then, because a LOT of us would love to get our hands on them! I’m OVER concealer lips.
Jenna
I just want the self tanning product. I wish I knew if it was full size. I guess I can always swap for it since no one seems to like them!

YES! I’m excited about that, too! 🙂

It won’t be full size. They had the St Tropez Purity mousse last year and it was travel sized… 🙁
But…I still think the box is worth it.

Oh nooo what have I done. I just read the reviews and realized it says it’s hard to unsubscribe. I didn’t sub through Amazon. I must have looked at the wrong box reviews before subbing, that’s usually the first thing I look at!

You can call and ask them to skip the month
The only issue is you usually have to call to unsuspend

You have to call…. that’s the only way to have hopes of unsubscribing unless it’s through Amazon

I just email Allure directly to unsubscribe. Worked each time.

It’s easy to unsubscribe. You have to email them, but it only took a couple days for them to respond and cancel. Haven’t been billed since I did it last month.
Reply

Call them and it is instant. Then you get an email offering $10. for 4 months if you stay.

I’ve only had to call their CS a couple times (to skip a month and a separate time to cancel). But the ladies I spoke with were nice and I didn’t have any issues. Email takes a while to get a response. I definitely recommend calling them.

I signed up using my virtual Capital One cc and then deleted the number when they didn’t answer my email to cancel. 😝

Hi Keri,
It really isn’t hard to unsubscribe, You can call them or email to unsubscribe. Their customer service gets a bad wrap but I have always found the people I have spoken to are very friendly and helpful. I think the benefit of amazon is the ease of just clicking to unsubscribe if you plan on doing that frequently and the boxes ship much earlier via the amazon subscription.
Reply
Keri
Thank you so much for making me feel better! I don’t mind the extra work to cancel, but I started reading their customer service reviews on here and it seemed like people had horror stories. I’m not even ready to unsub yet, I just got worried. Haha!
JuJu
It’s not hard to unsubscribed, just takes a bit more effort than clicking a button. I’ve done it twice – I call them, they offer me four months at $12 to stay, I say no, and they cancel my subscription. That’s all there is to it.
Reply
Michele
Just a heads up…. If you try to unsubscribe from Allure they offer 4 months for $10.

I think I’m canceling my last Allure box, Tbf I’ve had it for a long time but I’m using more from Ipsy plus than Allure and not enjoying them so much.

Another concealer lippie. No, thanks.
Still waiting to see if the last two items are amazing andc turn this box around. Then I will order on amazon.
Come on, Allure. Jan and Feb were so good and now april and May 🙈 I really want to order in May, but you are making it impossible

I just did the 4 for 10 deal but I really don’t want the May box – if I call and skip I don’t want it to somehow mess up my 4 for 10 deal. 🙁

If you open the Amazon app & go to hamburger menu “Your Account” & then under the “Account Settings” header, click on “Memberships & subscriptions” & you should see Allure Beauty Box there, with a “Next order on [date]” in the description.

I pulled my Lue out after seeing this and used it and forgot how much I loved it. It leaves my face smooth and bright.
