Allure Beauty Box May 2020 FULL SPOILERS!

Allure just sent an email about this and MSA just posted about it as well. There was a mistake in packaging.

I do. I thought Im crazy. It says moisturizer on the package but it is definitely cleanser.

Yesss please

I ordered my first box yesterday and never got a confirmation letter and now i have having a hard sign into the beauty box page. Has this happened to you? Or anyone have a hard time signing in? Can i order a box without a account? This whole thing is confusing but am exciting for my first box!

I got my Amazon Allure box….received the perfume which I really wanted!

Isn’t the one in the target box a mask and this one is a cleanser though?

April

I got my first box last month. (Loved it) but I didn’t receive any free gift. Was I supposed to get the Laura Mercier setting powder?

I love the skincare! I am lucky that I have never had a reaction to any skincare in my life. I could put skin cream with perfume in it on my face and nothing happens. I do have some sun damage from my years of baking under the sun at the beach. I was definitely born in the wrong decade because no one warned us about skin cancer or how the sun can ruin your skin.

Same! My skin is EXTREMELY acne prone, and there are tons of ingredients (including all fragrance) that cause my skin to break out- even that Curology moisturizer breaks me out. I don’t like how skincare-heavy the boxes have been lately. Fortunately, the full-size serum we got last month doesn’t break me out, and it looks like this month’s full size brightening serum shouldn’t break me out either (fingers crossed). But other than that, I can’t use anything else in this box. Hoping for more makeup next month!

It’s not good for your face to change your cleansing products or base make up products such as primers and foundation, concealers,etc… I am an older woman who knows this through experience. I have very clear, very resilient skin too so I would imagine it’s much worse still for a girl with problem skin. I also am a hoarder of beauty product, a purveyor of beauty boxes of all kinds so much so that I could never think of using it all. I guess I just like seeing it, having it??? I DUNNO. I end up giving stuff away before it goes bad so it doesn’t go to waste anyway. All that being said ice used lancome my entire adult life and would never change. The only other face creme I’ve ever used that was even comparable is lamer and it stings my skin a bit so I use lancome because it does not. The cremes, seems, and lotions used on your face are the most important aspect of your skin care routine. You must use a high quality face creme after the age of 30 especially. You can get away with more inexpensive skin care as a teen and through your 20s however once you’re in your 30s you must use good product to hydrate the face with. Wash your faces every night too girls. Never never go to sleep w makeup on. It’s the absolute worst thing for your skin besides the sun. Most brown eyes girls dont have to worry as much about getting some sun but we blue eyed and green eye girls must be more careful. We have less melanin in our skin and therefore thinner skin that doesn’t tan as well or easily and is much more easily damaged by the sun. Ok thats some of my older girl wisdom. By the way, I still BOTOX from the midface up every 6 months and have been since my mid 30s. Also a reccomendation of mine. Don’t freeze your 25 year old beautiful faces. You don’t need to. Skin is still so resilient up until you’re 30s that it’s unnecessary. Begin the heavy botoxing of the midface and up though at around 35 so as to prevent any wrinkling from taking place. My reccomendations for staying beautiful. They work if you follow them.

I love to change things up and find it benefits my skin. Like everything I’m sure it greatly depends on your skin. But there is some research that shows when you switch up shampoo etc that it helps your hair.

I can’t say I’m in the same boat; I like receiving new skincare and I’ve always been into trying new products (as well as restaurants, brands, etc.). However I always use one or two items and stick to it until it’s empty unless my skin really isn’t vibing with it (similar to another commenter I have oily, acne prone skin as well). Once I amass a few bottles of skincare I stop my sub box and restart once I’m low again. I think switching up skincare too much won’t let your skin get all the benefits—some products take weeks or months before you actually see results

I agree. I try to sample things for a couple days only because I get so much I could never get through it all if I did a week or a month. If I like something, I add it to my rotation, but I never do get a good feel for whether something really works or not.

I’ve been organizing all my products since I’ve been in quarantine and the skincare FAR outnumbers every other category of product, which sucks because it’s my least favorite thing to get for exactly why you mentioned–I’m oily and acne-prone, so I’m reluctant to try so many new items, but if I don’t, it feels like a huge waste.

ALSO, funny enough, I recently went a week with my old, simple skincare routine (before I got any boxes) and my skin looked better than ever! I was shocked, thinking all these fancy moisturizers and creams had to have been making a difference!

I always wonder how reviewers are able to test all these skin care products without breaking out.

Yes, all skincare and no makeup makes May a skip month for me too. I’ve got too many products I won’t use and products that I’ve used that have been a step above water. I understand the theme may be self care due to the current circumstances, but I still love to wear makeup and look forward to a lippie or a liner every once in a while. At least something?! I assumed beauty box would be more than just face creams, masks and serums. I can’t recall ever getting anything for nails in an allure box. Bro! We need decals and cuticle oil. Lol

I bought an Alex drawer organizer just for all my beauty products and it doesn’t even fit everything. I don’t mind makeup because you can experiment with that everyday, but I could never get through all my skincare stuff and it feels like a waste.

The primer is the only variant (so far). It’s either that or the brow gel.

Agreed – although sadly, it’s almost an obsession with me at this point. I need more stuff like I need a hole in the head, yet I LITERALLY cannot stop perusing MSA then diving down the rabbit hole of skin care boxes…..and there are so….many…..boxes.

They have been doing this for a longtime now sadly. I just hope they do not start throwing hair gunk in the mix too. It would turn into a sad glossy box. Lol

^Haha, omg, so true. This is worse than Ipsy.

I got my first box rather quickly. I ordered it on the 3rd last month and got it the 15th.

At least 20 days for your 1st box.

Girl, same.
