Allure Beauty Box Review + Coupon – August 2021

The Eau Thermale (canned water) by Avène is also special bc the thermal spring contains skin-beneficial micro fauna which has been studied & scientists theorize it plays a big part in the soothing & healing capabilities of the water. Since the water is not processed- simply canned, it’s believed the combo of minerals & microscopic organisms is what makes the Avène products so efficacious & nice to use.
Dr. Dray has a great video on YouTube about the best products from Avène & goes into detail about the benefits of the Eau Thermale spray there (and a few other videos as well) which can provide more explanation abt its uses and benefits.

I liked the Eau Thermale from Avene the first time I tried it in a box from FFF & my skin inexplicably seemed to love it too.
I’m a strong believer that “clean” beauty is a marketing scam; however, if anything is clean-this product is. Plus, its Fragrance & essential oil free!
Jokes aside, many ppl see benefits applying this product (& some similar ones) to irritated, itchy, dry/flakey, red, aggravated skin bc it can help repair, sooth & heal skin, but its also been recognized for its ability to help discomfort/ itch that accompanies some ailments. This makes it a good product to try for those w/ eczema, rosacea, skin irritation, sensitive skin, itchy scalp etc… & anyone can appreciate that it’s not messy & is extremely convenient to carry, plus there’s no worry abt applying too much or too often.
Ive heard those w/ babies&kids highlight its simplicity, portability, & ease of use.

*In particular ppl w/ scalp issues rave about it being able to help ease aggravating side effects like itching/burning when other products fail.*

A lot of ppl have ALOT of opinions abt products like this & I understand if you’re not excited by it. But even if you don’t have a specific appreciation for its skincare value, it’s actually pretty utilitarian as far as sub box beauty products go.
As a curly haired lady, I like traveling w/ it for using on hair & skin. I also throw it in my bag in a pinch bc it can rehydrate/renew my curls & hair products or tame my locks when creating a specific style.
I HIGHLY recommend applying between steps of your skin care routine or when you need to remoisten skin, particularly before using specific products that benefit most from being used on damp skin (like HA).

Not much compares to keeping face spray in the fridge & misting yourself on a hot day. If you think that sounds ridiculous then you haven’t tried it! Of course I live in TX… but throw it in your fridge/cooler and tell me it’s not amazing!
It’s also useful for applying & setting makeup, spraying brushes, & wetting products that require that.
I mentioned it’s great for curly hair, but others will likely appreciate using it to smooth hair when brushing or putting back into a bun/ponytail.
Ppl mention carrying it to shave on the go, clean their face/kids, on pets, or unique uses around the house.

*If you don’t have sensitive skin issues or use for it in your skincare routine, I would recommend giving it to someone who does, bc it’s a unique and convenient product. Because it’s pretty expensive when buying at the drugstore, so many don’t discover how useful & great it could be for them or their kids.*

Any of the yearly subscribers get the oops we just billed you 270ish for a yearly. We processed a refund so to expect it with 7-10 business days. Oh, and because we screwed up, we are willing to let you have a year at 199.

Seriously? You screw up that bad and make me wait 7-10 business days for a refund? That’s a lot of money for a lot of subscribers, I sent them a snotogram.

Rant over😡

Just checked my 111 cream, is anyone elses tub only about 1/3 full? If I had paid $270 for this (never) I would have been highly disappointed.

Focus on skincare product itself, so sick of the politics. Noting wrong with the 111skin day cream on my combination skin, super hydrating, soft on skin.

My samples of the 111Skin Day Cream from Ipsy have a very slight fragrance if any; I am shocked by the intoxicating and lingering smell that causes me to sneeze from the Allure full size one. And the color and consistency are slightly different. It just seems like an entirely different product! Hasn’t anyone else noticed?! (I might mention perfumes and scents usually never bother me.)

Don’t love the box but I just had to say, Megan you are glowing!

Megan, I am so with you on the canned water! Now I keep a mini in the fridge and a large with my daily routine. It is so great to help spread thick products or just feel bougie. Now if I could only get gel blush to look less like your wrist and more like your cheeks.

With three out of the five products being made in China, I am dumping this sub for good. They all went in the trash. I will not even try to pass them off to a friend. It’s too bad the toner was so small as it and the mask are the rat products and the only products in the box that I am keeping. I love kbeauty and the products are trustworthy.

That blush would be so gorgeous on darker skin tones. Its gorgeous on her too though!

I thought the problem people had with 111 Skin was that they use different formulas for their box products, not just that it was made in China? It seems like they “water down” the products, even though they’re using safe ingredients. Is the ingredient list exactly the same as on the brand’s site? Someone on another site got this product in Ipsy like a year ago and the ingredient list was different.

I am with you Megan on wanting a bigger bottle of the toner. Thanks for another great review. Can’t wait to get my box.

Thank you, I enjoyed the review. I could have saved myself some time had I read this first which covered my ingredient question. I am still using up Ayuna III and two other moisturizers so this goes on the shelf for a moment. I’m thrilled I get to try a sample of the Decorté AQ serum. I wish I could read more of the print on this sample but I am happy with the box. Also glad you mentioned the blush serum, now I will keep that for myself… lol.

Allure was consistently great last year but I have been more and more disappointed with the boxes each month of this year. I have just cancelled my monthly subscription and have switched to ipsy which I have much better hopes for. The transparency and quality of recent allure boxes have left much to be desired.

Love that blush!!
I would have ordered this if the main item was something other than that cream.

Wow..allure has a skip month button now..cool.

Why so much hydration in the middle of summer?! I am too oily. Now I am sad because I adore toners but lavender is something I cannot use. I got the Vitabird serum(love that) which is a repeat for me.
I will gift this box away. What a bummer. I am on the losing streak of box items this summer that I can use.

I got my box today and I got the Vitabrid C variant. I don’t use a lot of Vitamin C products because my skin is sensitive.

Transitioning between suppliers does not necessarily mean that a company will get same quality ingredients.

When repairing vehicles, for example, there are OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and “like kind quality” parts which will be similar, but not identical.

To claim that 111Skin products will be completely identical regardless of manufacturing location is nonsensical.

I love that blush! It looks gorgeous on you

Love your reviews. Thanks!
