Allure Beauty Box May 2021 Spoiler #1

Now why on earth would Allure put out their first spoiler for a new month as something as teeny tiny as 7ml? If they are trying to discourage people from getting their box…this is a great start.

I was reading an interview with the founder and according to him, the only way to get the full benefit of the cream is to use it

And

Nothing

Else

Because it gives your skin a chance to “re-set” to its natural state before it got confused with all the products we use.

This guy is an actual scientist with a degree from a good school, but that sounds like the kind of woo you’d get on Goop.

I used to get so excited about the Allure box but so far this year I’ve gotten 1 box and skipped the rest. Pretty big let down considering I signed up for the year. At the rate I’m skipping, I’ll probably have enough box “credit” for 2022. 🙁

Thank you Allure for this Spoiler..
So excited to try this..

Oh my goodness did that spoiler picture change again?

My favorite brand! I LOVE Augustinus Bader! I think his products are the best out there

Something called ‘The Rich Cream’ wouldn’t do well on my face lol. This would have been nice in the winter I bet.

I am currently using this cream from an advent calendar I got. It’s nice, nothing earth-shattering. For 7 mL, it’s not enough for me to want May’s box yet. Weird that they would lead May spoilers with a sample.

I have tried this before and I was not impressed at all. It feels and looks like a thick sunscreen that is hard to rub in entirely. Strangely, as thick as it is, it didn’t even moisturize my skin. It felt like it just sat on my skin but never absorbed. I’m sure there is someone out there that this works for, but it definitely was not me.

7 ml? For a hand cream nonetheless. I don’t care how good it is or what a great discovery it may be, this is something I would never pay full price for so if I’m going to get it in a box, it’s a special treat. 7ml isn’t exactly much of a treat. If this were more around 20-25ml I wouldn’t complain, but this is a $23 box that was arguably better when it was $15. I expect more. It’s just time for me to cancel. I got repeats last month and the only thing I was interested in this month is the Akar. I’m giving away or throwing away more than I keep these days. Disappointed, I used to love this box. There was a time I never would have given it up.

I am happy to see that they are allowing us to try out expensive brands like this. I am excited to try this.

Hmm. I have definitely been wanting to try an Augustinus Bader product, but 7ml is pretty tiny. I would have liked to see a larger size. Nice to see Allure offering actual lust-worthy brands, though!

Please disregard my last comment. I just realized the box I got today is the March box.

I don’t trust the spoiler now. I just received the April box that I signed up for to get the eye serum but I didn’t get the eye serum. Instead I got 111Skin Vitamin C serum, which I already have and don’t use. 🙁

Ha, I’d never heard of this brand before last week. I’m getting a Vox Box with this rich cream – apparently they’ve been in Birchbox before. They’re pricey, so I’m hoping it’s good

7 ml… Lol

Unless there are some seriously good other items, this makes me want to skip. Tried the Rich Cream last year and developed an extremely painful rash over my entire face. It took weeks to heal my skin, so I’m avoiding anything Augustinus Bader from now on. I definitely recommend a patch test before slathering on!

I’m confused. Where does it say hand cream? It looks to me like this is a sample size of the brand’s amazing face moisturizer. Love it and save it for special pampering days.

I feel neutral about this spoiler, but I’d be curious to do a test: one lucky hand will get this, the other one the $5 hand lotion from Trader Joe’s, just to see the difference, if any.

I’m really excited about this spoiler and haven’t felt that way about much from Allure in awhile. I’ve seen this brand in high end European Advent calendars but have never tried it as it is so expensive. Fingers crossed the rest of May spoilers will be this great!

The title is right but the photo seen here is incorrect, it is definitely the Rich Cream moisturizer in the 7ml travel size (even that size is apparently a $30 value). You can tell from the teaser video on allure’s site and the correct photos shared on other spoiler sites.

Wow! This is exciting!! I, too, have been a little disappointed by the past few Allure boxes. But Agustinus bader?? Even though it’s not the holy grail face moisturizer all the influencers rave about, I have to say, I’m very excited to try the hand cream! Now I’ll get to see what some of the hype is about… or not. Very excited to try a more established brand. I feel like the let downs from the previous boxes has been lack of exciting brands. This spoiler is definitely what I’ve missed about the Allure box!

Another winner for me! Great brand.

I’ve heard of this brand. Never used it. Not a bad spoiler over all. I try to take care of my hands and always have some kind of lotion on my desk. Looking forward to trying this one depending on other spoilers of course. If there is a self tanner or highlighter it makes me automatically skip.

I think it makes me want to skip already. I’ve been trying not to skip just to get my annual over and be done with them. I’m extremely upset that they asked me to lock in the price for a year, only to put off raising the price for months. I would not have chosen to purchase any box individually since last July.
