Allure Beauty Box November 2021 – Spoiler #1

The renewal gift was pretty underwhelming. It was basically the same stuff I got in my last renewal “mega-bundle.” A couple brushes, an Anastasia lippie that was too brown for me, an eyeshadow trio I already have, some skincare samples, an eyeliner, a mascara, a self-tanning spray sample.

Saaame. I feel like it’s a ploy to get people to not skip but it’s doing the opposite. It makes the consumer think there isn’t anything else exciting in the upcoming box because if there was they’d spoil it right?

I’m not sure where you’ve been that you think the spoilers are late. There for a while we were getting them months in advance. This spoiler for November was posted on MSA on October 1. Do you want to know 6 months in advance?

If you want a box with skincare, the see new box is the best!!!! It has quality full-size products!

I’m thrilled for make up!

Sorry, but what does good skin have to do with eyeshadow & eyeliner? 😂

I just wanted to point out that not everyone is just like you. I too prefer the skincare heavy box, Im obsessed with skincare, love trying new products, and I go through it much more quickly than makeup. However, I still love doing makeup, and I use it to create whatever aesthetic I’m feeling in the moment, as well as for artistic expression. And even though I take good care of my skin, I’m hypersensitive, work in a hot kitchen (in a nightmare mask), and I experience hormonal breakouts, so I also use makeup to feel beautiful, or feel like myself, as needed.

And even though I tend toward bright bold colors, vampy goth shades, or sparkly glitter products, I still often enjoy the inclusion of makeup in my boxes, even though sometimes the products aren’t exactly my speed. I still do natural makeup looks plenty, but receiving those kinds of products can be boring, and depending on the product, it might not get used too often.

But despite my propensity for skincare & crazy makeup, I know that many others enjoy the easy to use makeup products in natural shades that are sent out, and so I don’t mind getting them in a box that’s meant to be a mixed bag.

When I need a bigger skincare fix, I turn to my seenew skincare box 😌 I highly recommend that one, the products are very high quality. There are a number of skincare focused boxes out there (I’ve only tried seenew) and I would suggest looking at some of those if you really don’t want makeup! Allure is not *supposed* to be skincare only.

I do agree, however, about the quality of products included. I haven’t tried the 111 cream yet, but I was definitely not thrilled to get it…and being mad about those kinds of products in the box is an absolutely valid complaint. The inclusion of less than stellar brands lately is exactly why I cancelled. And why I’m thinking of ending my longtime love affair with ipsy gbp 😭

I’ve been subbed to Allure for years – all the way back to when it was still called Sample Society. It has *always* included a mix of skincare, makeup, and hair products, and even fragrance. They used to include nail polish, too. I don’t know how long you’ve been subscribed and how you think you know who their “base” is, but it seems that you are not very informed.

You should try Dermstore’s box. It’s entirely skincare. I had been looking for one like it because there is a mask mandate where I live. (:

I wish I could try more of them but don’t want to waste them and not be able to give-away. It would be nice if they would add more details in the description, i.e. Best for Oily Skin, Acne-Prone, Dry Skin, etc.

Have you looked into See New: The skincare box? It’s nothing but skincare. I have super dry skin, and have found some amazing products this way.

That’s why I’m a fan too, they’re heavy on high end skin care.

Hi! I used the little eyeshadow from our box October it’s so cute I hadda try it I used with my pinkie it looked amazing I used as liner too with a a tip it took me a minute to apply I was in a hotel lol. Really silky etc
