Allure Beauty Box December 2019 Spoiler Update + Coupon!

So, allure has the full box on their website but I don’t see these items for these swatches😓.

I was thinking the very same thing!! Merry Christmas to us!!!

I think some think the collaboration is ABH since two of the products are ABH, but i don’t think the lip variants match to the swatches in the pic above. I guess we will know soon….. it does look like it’s going to be makeup heavy.

That is something that truly amazes me! Those are the only places I have ever seen that actually sells “used” makeup and other products. I saw a dirty, nasty, obviously used foundation bottle that was in the clearance bin at a Marshall’s. This thing was only 1/2 full and marked down to $10.00. 🤢 I really can’t believe some of the stuff they actually put on the shelf for sale. So disgusting.
I have seen this pallet before, and I think I might have actually gotten one for my daughter. We both recently did a makeup clean out. So, I would have to ask her. I was considering resubbing for this, but after looking at her makeup, she seems to prefer more natural highlighter tones. That and I was really tired of the variations and they have already confirmed color variations for December.

Good to know! Thank you! That helped me make my decision on wether or not to resubscribe for December. Nope.

Lol! Ya… This isn’t their 1st box this year that looks like whoever is putting them together likes to shop at TJ Max & Marshall’s. FFF is the same way.
I’m curious how long this pallet has been out. It’s so familiar… Did I already buy this for my daughter at Marshall’s? Last year or the year before??? Idk, I think I did… It looks so dang familiar! I was considering resubbing for this, but I just looked at some of my daughters makeup and she has highlighter in every shade imaginable! There’s her obvious favorites and some that have barely been touched. Funny thing about pallets, we buy them and end up only using a couple of shades. I gave my teen an Avon 12 shade palette because I never use it except for 2-3 shades mainly but I have replaced those with cream shadows. She only uses that eyeshadow pallet and 2 others I gave her, including doucce. But, she has her favorites. I can tell that every shade has been tried and I can tell from different photo shoots what the photographer wanted as far as makeup goes. At this point, this pallet would probably be a waste. All of her highlighters are not these types of shades. She referred to this as Jr. high highlighter. 😂 But, depending on the rest of the spoilers, I might resub for the December box and give the 6 yr old granddaughter the highlighter to play with.
The thing I really can’t stand about Allure is the whole variation thing. I would probably still be subscribed if it were not for that crap.

Yes! I just came here to mention it. I used 3 emails for Allure subs and the 2 not being used received the welcome message. So strange!

I’m using the black liquid shadow to do my daughter’s Halloween makeup, so I will use it at least once!

December

Lisa: This is a step up from an all sample box like Birchbox which I believe is $12/mo. now and it used to be $10 for ALL samples. Allure has a much larger array of products for sub boxes compared to Birchbox as Birchox is limited to what they sell on their site like Sephora. With Allure you normally get 1 full size product at least. In December they usually step it up for Holiday. $15 is a great deal as most of the products in Allure box are deluxe or trial size. Not every box is going to be a hit, but it’s a subscription box, not a pick your own product box. Sephora Play and Birchbox are sample sizes. I truly get more bummed when i buy old Sephora Play boxes from their site on occasion for $8 or $10 on sale. Sizes are very tiny, but i do find something i like here n’ there.

Allure gives full spoilers a month or so in advance. More than enough time to cancel if it’s not up your alley. If you’re expecting the world in a $15 box, you’re going to have a hard time. For boxes that have been around, there are old reviews that show their general pattern of contents.

I’m sure I’m on the minority here but I loved oct box. The black eye shadow was a nooo but everything else I love! Love those eye drops and the r expensive. The brand new Sunday Riley ! I mean it’s brand new…can’t get better then trying a brand new product. Like it or hate it that’s what beauty boxes r for. To try things out see what you think.

I’m sorry that the box was a miss for you, it was for me as well. I really appreciate that you took the time to vent. I want to get all the opinions – the good, the bad, the ugly, and the ones that make me laugh ( that’s you Slut Box…the Slut Box subscription just to clarify). I’m going to subscribe through Amazon now. Too many crappy boxes of late. I know Allure is only $15…but I don’t want to waste $15 on products that I won’t use.

It’s $15.

I hear you and understand. Even if you see the spoilers it’s still a gamble. I felt the same way about that black glitter shadow. Completely useless! I would be embarrassed to even donate that (I donate a lot; but, dang, we don’t buy these boxes to donate.). I’m going to try to use it in some of my art. At least it won’t go into the landfill. Don’t ever be afraid to post your true thoughts and opinions here. Some people may try to make you feel bad about being negative. It’s happened to me several times on this site. Just ignore it. They’re trying to exert some false power over those who don’t agree with them. Others are very kind. We own our opinions. Try to read a lot if reviews on various subscriptions to get a feel for them. I hope you’ll find one that pleases you and provides some fun trying useful products. Find The Good.

For me the m61, the bum bum and the eye drops were worth the cost. I was glad to try the SR ice, which I did not like. It is cooling as the blame suggests and while that might be great for my body, mint/menthol is a no no on my face. The trio was actually decent (hugely popular in Australia, where the brand originates) but not the brand for me. However, I am able to donate it and as it has a light, Ned, dark tone will be a treasure for someone. The black eyeshadow might have been a shout out to Halloween but Yikes, it was a total, “oh, hell no!” to me and right in the trash. So I thought it was an okay box and at least all of the brands were recognizable, even if I didn’t care for them.

My tip to you is to sub through amazon for this box. That way you can check the spoilers and cancel and resub every month if you want. It’s easier to cancel and resub through amazon for me although I typically always feel I get $15 worth. We are all different in that regard:)

Allure is very transparent about their box contents will in advance. There are already full spoilers for November, and some spoilers for December – and it’s late October. I’m sorry you feel duped, but I did not care for the October box – so I simply cancelled my subscription. I believe they will also skip a month for you as well.

As far as I am aware, Allure doesn’t have a promised or stated value every month, and they don’t have a promise for full-sized items.

There are a lot of great boxes out there, hopefully you will find something else you enjoy.

i saw it there tonight

Srr, nah think that’s reaching a bit. It’s just an artsy lipstick smear (They all look similar, just like the one here and on page 16) and theres no way the collab brand For December’s box is Lady Gaga’s Haus labs lol. It’s obviously abh what with them already showing the Abh moon child highlight palette as one of the full size items.

No

Heck, I’m in my 20s & I still don’t understand it. Sometimes I put too much & don’t realize. Sometimes it looks like a straight edge. I still like paying around with it though lol

I echo everyone who has said practice and experiment. At 51 I never leave home without highlighter, but I found the perfect match to me through a sub box. And the perfect match is critical to looking dewy without over glittered.

I use Becca backlight primer as both my highlight and foundation. I apply with a #53 Sephora brush which is a large sweep. It has just the right amount of glow without being too glittery. I apply a little more on the areas I want to highlight. I am not a fan of ultra matte foundations. I don’t like it when I can tell someone is wearing foundation so this works great for me, a nice natural glow over my 10 layers of serum, essence, toner, sunscreen etc:)

As far as all the highlighters I get in the boxes…. I crush the powder ones up and add to my body lotion. This tones out the effect of the highlighters and gives me an all over healthy glow. If the are liquid, I add them too. I have super dry skin and use body lotion everyday.

Have you ever seen someone with a ton of highlighter on their face but their, neck, décolletage and arms or legs if showing are totally plain? To me that looks like outer space. So since we get a crap ton of highlighters, this is what I do with them. Works great!

Although my daughter will totally want this pallette so I wonder be crushing it up but passing it on:)

Jean, it can be really tough to find the best placement of highlighters on your face, I know when I first started using it, I did it so wrong because everyone that I saw using it would put it almost right beneath their eyes. It took me a little time and playing around to realize that my cheekbones are much more prominent than the average person’s, so the best placement for me is MUCH lower than the average person, on the fullest part of my cheekbone, and not above it. Just play around with it and dont be afraid to put it where you might not expect. You want to put it where you WANT light to catch it. I run my highlighter all the way back to my hairline because with my bone structure it would honestly look bizzare if I didn’t. You can also play around with different formulas, if you are looking for something subtle and dewy, the charlotte tilbury hollywood flawless filter is a gorgeous option. you’ll get it!! have fun 🙂

Try just a little below your brow line! I also do a little at the top of my cheeks. I am barely holding on to 45🤪.

I’m 40 and just started using highlighter. I love it. I just use a fan brush to lightly brush it across where light would naturally hit my face from above and I feel it helps me look more dewy and youthful.

I wish! Probably not though.

No, you’re not! It does look a lot like the ND palette in Boxy Premium. That would be a pretty big ticket item to throw in though.

As long as it’s not black glitter lol

lol, didn’t we get 2 last month. They do love cargo as well. Though I don’t think “we” love either.
