January 2020 Allure Beauty Box Available Now + FULL SPOILERS!

I cancelled ipsy months ago because Sephora Play was better for skincare stuff (which is essentially all i want/need as makeup lasts me a loooong time). Then the Sephora Play January box sent me a bunch of crap i won’t use and i looked into allure and holy heck, if every box is like this month’s, I’ve got it made! I cancelled sephora and signed up for allure today so here’s hoping i’m right! 🙂

I was subscribed to Allure for a couple of years but canceled for a few months. I got tired of the variations and getting the bottom of the barrel. I signed up for this box because of the skincare. The variation is a product I won’t use.
At the same time I decided I was on product overload and decided to scale back on subscriptions. But, the only one I didn’t give up is Ipsy.

Do you recall who the email was from? I signed up but haven’t gotten the email yet. Thanks!

What’s the Hot Tools promo??

Check your spam folder! That’s where my email was 🙂

When I placed my order, my welcome account email, order confirmation and everything went to straight to spam also.

i just called, they said the order went through and should get tracking number within a day or 2!! Yeah!!! I hope that is so!!!

I ordered successfully, received email confirmation that indicated the order would take a couple days to process at which time they will send a shipping email. Have you checked your spam?

Same, it never let me logged into the account I created while checking out, and I never got an order confirmation..I called in and they were able to see my order and provide my tracking number.

I also ordered the tool successfully but have not received an email confirmation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My account on the Hot Tools’ website shows the order as “pending” (I opened an account with them so I can track this order). I’m relieved the order shows up somewhere but I’d feel better if I had a confirmation or, better yet, the tool in my hands. 👍

I didn’t have issues with my password, though.

i got my box yesterday too. where was the coupon? if it was in the pamphlet with the makeup product discount codes i missed it.

I was charged $10.98. The difference may be do to local tax plus $10. Because they charge $10 for magazine subscriptions, I wonder if their system is messing up and charging us for the magazine subscriptions instead that we did not authorize the purchase of?

Yes, me too! I was wondering the same thing. I’m happy as long as I actually get December with the hair tool gift. The only reason I finally subscribed because I wanted to give it to my mom as a gift. Guess we will see.

The Gilt City deal is for a 3-month subscription (comes out to ~$10/month)

I L9ve Caudalie!

IVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SIGN ON EVEN W/ MY “ACCT #”…THEIR ENTIRE SYSTEM IA SCREWED UP! FROM EMAILS TO CS TO NOT HONORING COUPONS! THEY’RE GOOD BUT THEY SEEM TO LACK APPRECIATION OF THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS!

Yep. I haven’t been able to log in since November with that same error

Fantastic idea…my skin is very dry….I’m going to try it like that

Great idea! I tried the exfoliate, and it burned my face too much to use again. I’m going to give it a try on my other rough patches and see if it works.

Thanks for the suggestion! My face is so sensitive…the rest of me, not so much!!

Me too 😊

It’s more like a scrub / mask. You rub it on certain areas of your face, wait 1-2 minutes depending on how sensitive your skin is, then wash it off. It might slightly sting the first time but that’s normal. You use it once a week, otherwise you might dry out your face. Leaves your skin really smooth.

Don’t use it after using oils, shaving any area of your face, & ofc not on any open wounds (ie. Pimples). It’s safe to use but can definitely chemically burn you if used with oils & can damage skin on open wounds.

It’s a scrub that you leave on for two minutes. For me, it does leave my skin a bit red at first but very soft and plump after. It has either cinnamon or clove, I believe. Obviously, that is irritating for some skin types. I’d patch test first😊

hi,
I not sure when you last tried but I subscribed directly though allure for november and had no issues cancelling online in my account.. didn’t need to call or email. I see a lot of people complaining about that about allure but I’ve never had that issue.

I wonder in part if they do this because their gift offers are so generous, and they give the new member gift even to old subs who resubscribe. If cancelling was super easy and could be done online, people could take advantage of that and just be cancelling and resigning every month or two to keep getting the new member gifts.

Having to email at least means someone needs to pause and think it over. It bugs me to – I would prefer the online option – but it really only takes a few minutes to send the email, and they always get back within a day or two. I decided it’s more a reflection of my desire for instant gratification than any real problem on their part.

I do think, however, they need to make the email for cancelling more clear (like in their FAQ) – I emailed the wrong one once! Fortunately they sent me the right email, but still. I did feel like I had to hunt that down rather than it be clearly explained.

It’s still available to buy through Amazon. December Allure sold out, so it won’t show up on Amazon right now until Jan 1st.

I think it’s not available YET because it’s not January yet.

I think it’s not available on Amazon YET because it’s not January yet.

It was available through Amazon earlier this month, but sold out on Amazon and Allure. I think it will be available on Amazon again in January.

Same!!!! I wish we would receive more lip treatments too! I only got one this past year and it was the Laniage (which I love more than life) from Allure…wait, was that even in 2019, or was that fall of 2018? See…we need lip treatments more frequently! 😂 I’ve never gotten one from Ipsy or Boxy either.💁

Me too love lip product like that since I don’t get many in other sub boxes 🥰

Yes, Allure shows up as Conde Nast

I canceled once to avoid being charged for the next months box before receiving shipping notification for the month I did want. They canceled my entire order.
My advice is call if you want to avoid January but still receive your December box.

Did they charge you? If yes, I think you are good. If not, you probably will not get December

They’ve done several boxes with no variation. I’m sure they will still do boxes with.

Unless Allure sells out, which is very rare, you’ll get the box of the month you signed up in. Once I signed up on the last day of the month thinking I was safe, but my subscription still started with that month’s box. Not happy but I learned my lesson 🙂

Probably December will be your first box.

Wow! Lights, Camera is my HG.😊 There are a few out there I really like, but that one takes the cake for me. What’s your favorite, if you don’t mind me asking?
