Allure Red Carpet Bonus Beauty Box Review

I signed up over a month ago with Allure and have never received a box. I did receive emails asking me to rate it however. Does it usually take this long? It doesn’t sound like contacting them gets you anywhere.

It is as if Allure loves to tease me. I received both emails letting me know I would soon be receiving a bonus item in the mail. I never received any bonus items or this bonus box. Today, I get an email from Allure asking me to complete a survey about the bonus box. Please send me the box and I will gladly review it.

OK, I’ve received 2 emails alerting me that a box was on its way and never got a box, so I just asked CS about it (via chat). She told me that because I am a “Legacy” subscriber – that is, I subscribed when it was Sample Society from beautybar, and stayed with it when Allure took it over — I won’t get a box! “Legacy” subscribers won’t get boxes! What kind of nonsense is that?!?! As to why I still got the emails, she doesn’t know and encouraged me to call, which I will do and report back. Maybe we “Legacy” subscribers should quit and then sign up again, so we lose that “stigma.”

Hi, I received the bonus box (recent BB subscriber) but none of the emails that went out before until today, I got a survey asking me about the box, etc for anyone who gets it 🙂

Hi,

Is anyone interested in selling their box?

Anyone interested in Cover Girl $4.00 coupon for Trunaked Eyeshadow Palette? I won’t be using mine and it expires 6/30/16. I saw them at my local drugstore for $10.99, so it will be a good deal if combined with sale. I would like to send it to someone who didn’t receive the bonus box, if possible. Please comment with your email below mine. Thanks!

I cancelled Allure beauty box in February. They still charged me for the month of March and would not cancel and return my money.

Has anyone who is a monthly subscriber received the bonus box?

I wish I would have received this box. Why did some get it and others didn’t?

Wow, hope Allure figures this out and all subscribers get the bonuses.

That being said…this is an absolutely amazing box. Would’ve been worth paying for ?. I’m impressed, Allure ?

I love my bonus box!!! Thank you so much Allure 😉

I was so surprised when I received this box. IT was AWESOME!!!!!

Hi Liz, just a heads up I think you have the wrong Ulta link for the oil and therefore the wrong box value. My bottle says nothing about antioxidants, so I believe it is this one which retails for $20 for 1 oz. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod12391041

I’ve only been a subscriber to the Allure box for about 6-9 months. I’ve gotten both bonus items. I was shocked when this one was a whole box though! I figured it would be like the last one. I also subscribe to the magazine. Maybe it really is just random like they are saying.

Thank you Liz. My estimate was off so I love how you estimate the pricing. I got this box for free so no matter the total it was super amazing. I was unhappy with Allure out of the gate when last month was my fist month and I got my box nix the lipstick and had a very hard time contacting them to get it strait but they did eventually send a new one. I put my box on hold this month because of traveling and still got this box perfect timing when I arrived home. I now have hope for the Allure beauty box being a better sub box than some of the others out.

I am very happy with my bonus box and I hope Allure continues to surprise us! I know Allure covers all product ranges from drugstore to high end ones, but I would like to see more high end products in their monthly box as they are more risky for us to buy full-sized products without trying them. We have Target boxes to cover drugstore brands 😛

I am one of the few who did not receive an email or a box. I contacted customer service out of curiosity since it seemed so random. They told me – “It is a random drawing for the red carpet box.” Fair enough. I then asked if they could check to see if I had been entered/won/whatever and she said that “We don’t have that list, unfortunately”. So…….yeah.

Got this out of the blue the other day, thought they perhaps sent a box early or something–signed on to MSA and found it was a surprise box, YAY! What a smart marketing move promoting good will and good products while solidifying and expanding the customer base. Other Subs take note!

OMG i want that coupon for covergirl! I bought one of the palettes last week at Target and I LOVE it! With the coupon it would only be around $6 which is a STEAL. I have to stop myself from buying the other 2 palettes.

I have been with the beauty box over a year. I received the January email but no surprise. I have not received anymore emails or surprises. I had to contact Allure to change my credit card and inquired about the January email I received and did not receive anything, I was told the email was sent to me in error. I told the gentleman that other people were receiving bonus items, so supposedly I am receiving something. This was 2 weeks ago and I still have not received anything. I sent an email to Allure yesterday with my annoyance to how loyal customers are being treated about the bonus items. I am sure I will not receive a reply and that they could care less. I think it is a shame if it does have something to do with beautybar vs. allure billing because Allure told us not to worry with changing anything when the switch happened. Now the older loyal customers get nothing and fresh newbies that have only just signed up to receive boxes are getting everything. Not good Allure. Very disappointed.

Is this something they do often? I have never heard of any subscription boxes sitting out free random goodies But I only get Ipsy, Boxycharm and beautycon. I have been thinking about getting this box but I’m not sure if I’ll like it . Suggestions do you think this box is better than Ipsy??

there is a rumor on Makeuptalk that if you are still paying for Allure through Beauty Bar you are not eligible for these free gifts- so if you still pay that way and didn’t get one/are bummed you might want to cancel/resub through Allure directly.

I got this box yesterday after the post office lost it for a few days and was really impressed.

I was so happy to receive all the freebies they have sent out this yr. Allure is definitely my fav box along with boxycharm. I also love the magazine, its one i read cover to cover each month. I have entered their contests and even won prizes there too. Thank you allure. You have a subscriber for life

What a surprise! I grabbed the box and it was so heavy. I was shocked. The mascara and liner (mascara wand was impossible to hold without my hand cramping up, and the tip was gigantic..not something easy to put near your eye, and the liner tip was awful. I’m really really good with liquid liner, and this shape was just terrible, although the formula seems great, sadly) were a fail for me, but everything else is pretty awesome. $100. For FREE. Wow, thanks Allure!!

I have to say I have always loved Allure boxes but they have definitely taken the top spot with my PopSugar boxes. PopSugar isn’t for everyone but I love it. Now back to Allure, I received this box along with their “surprises” in January. It seems every time they send out bonus items I receive them. I love this subscription and I hope they keep the surprises coming. I was very impressed with this box along with some confusion until I remembered that they would be sending out special boxes and I did receive an email that I would be receiving it. I am also an Allure Beauty Enthusiast on their panel. I’m not sure if this bumps your chances up or not but I’ve received everything extra that they have ever sent. I love it, keep em coming!!!
