I wish I got in on the May box in time. I subscribed on May 16th, but they said I was to late for the May box 🙁 I REALLY wanted the Foreo Luna Play! I would pay someone their $15 subscription price for it if anyone is interested! 🙂

You should check to make sure you really are not getting the May box. I subbed on April 22nd and was told I would not be getting the box, and I was pleasantly surprised to come home to it in the mailbox this passed Saturday!

I have a daughter who subscribed on April 22nd and a daughter and friend who both subscribed on the 23rd and none of them have received a box. My one daughter called a couple of days ago to ask about the free make up bag she was supposed to be getting and was rudely told she would not be receiving that either.

Kathy Chadwick

Thank you, but I didn’t sign up until May 16. As popular as the box was, they were probably all gone by then. I checked my account and don’t see any tracking information anywhere, so I assume I haven’t had any shipments yet. Although, they did make sure they took the $10 out of my account when I signed up. I thought that was odd. Most places don’t take the payment until the box is about to ship.

Allison Creekmore

Please don’t feel bad that you didn’t get the May box because I used the Forea Play for exactly 10 uses and it died. My sister got 4 uses…

If Liz gets a box, I would think she’d review it. Yes?

Yes! Review should be up today 🙂

Ordered 4/20 was told no may box for me but I got a shipping confirmation yesterday. Chatted with CS today and they’ve confirmed I am getting the may box, albeit late. Shipping from Illinois via parcel select lightweight

Cindy

Then maybe I am also. I didn’t contact Allure through all the brouhaha (didn’t have time) but thought I would not get one since I ordered 4/22. But I do have a shipping notice. So I guess I’m either receiving the May box or a consolation prize.

Marina

I chatted w allure again when I got tracking and she said it “might be the may box” and that she doesn’t know why but some subscribes who were told they weren’t going to get a box now are.
So I’m trying to stay cool and not get my hopes up, I’ll try to update (somewhere on the comments…there’s so many!) of what I get.

Megan

So, I was one of the people who signed up 4/22 and was told I wouldn’t be receiving May, and I decided to stay on because they were sending out a complimentary previous box. I received January’s box a few days ago (it was meh for me, lots of things I will give away, but it was free so why not). Today, I received tracking information for a box. I chatted with CS and they confirmed this is the May box. I’m not sure what happened, but I have a feeling the huge number of cancellations opened up some inventory, or else maybe they are scrambling to make more boxes. So, if you stayed on: take a deep breath, wait, and maybe you’ll get lucky?

Where are these boxes shipped from? I got a notice that my box had been shipped via USPS (new customer; ordered in April). (I thought was odd given all the discussion I had read here.) I had not had time to call about my subscription as yet. Then I got another notice that my order had shipped. Both said ‘your allure beauty box has shipped’ but they are originating in different locations. I checked my Allure account and I do have a tracking clicky that corresponds to one of the emails. I did also order the Thrills box, but in the past those have come UPS rather than USPS. I don’t confuse easily but this has me slightly confused.

Reply ButtonReply

Cindy

I got one box today; it was the Thrills box even though the email stated Beauty Box. The second box started in IL and is in PA now. The Thrills box started in PA. I have no clue what is happening. The Thrills box was sent USPS Parcel Select. (All past boxes were sent UPS.) The remaining box is being shipped Parcel Select Lightweight. Since I haven’t ordered an Allure Beauty Box before ordering the May box, I have no idea if this is the standard way they are shipped.

Anne

Thanks for giving us a heads up… I was curious why I was getting multiple tracking numbers… At first I thought it could be the thrills and like you said it usually delivers by UPS so I didn’t think they would this time. I thought their site started that the thrills box mixtape be delivered via ground.. Well now I know 🙂 thanks for sharing

MJ

Omigosh!!! I cannot believe what I am seeing here– May boxes sent/people still being told “no boxes” yada, yada, yada…

Just yesterday, I called Allure (again) because I’d received no confirmation email re the “past box” they assured was headed my way. The rep told me: “You will be receiving November 2015 & January 2015 for the inconvenience.” Cool, I thought.

But I open my email to get THIS nonsense today: (be sure to CATCH the “we are out of stock of ALL PREVIOUSY RELEASED BOXES EXCEPT ONE”— wth is running such nonsense?!?!? ???) UNBELIEVABLE!

“Dear Subscriber:

Thank you for contacting Allure Beauty Box.
I apologize for the misinformation provided to you on your previous phone call with Allure Beauty Box. We are unable to provide two complimentary boxes to you as all previously released boxes are out of stock with the exception of one. We will be mailing you that box. You will receive it in the next seven to ten business days. We will unfortunately not be able to provide you with tracking information on this box.

You regular delivery of your boxes will begin with the June Allure Beauty Box. That will ship out the first full week in June.

We have also entered a complimentary one year subscription to Allure magazine as well for compensation.

If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. To ensure your future concerns are handled in a timely fashion, please include all previous e-mail correspondence.

Thank you,
Kerri
Customer Service”

Everyone that was told they were not getting the May box should definitely check their account again. I was very disappointed when the rep told me there was no chance I would get the May box, I looked at my account and saw a ship date. 5-12-16, so I thought it was for my beauty bag they were going to send me complimentary. For the heck of it I called to see what they shipped.. sure enough it is the May Box!!!!!!

If you haven’t cancelled, check your accounts! My last order date & ship date were changed from 4/22/2016 to 5/11/2016 two days ago, and just today they gave me a tracking number! I confirmed with a rep via live chat that I am getting the May box when they said I would not last week. I also saw some threads on reddit with people saying that they were not actually out of May boxes, but that everyone who signed up in April were just put on a waitlist for remaining boxes.

Just checked mine and it has a tracking number. I will be surprised if it is the May box. I think it is the random bonus box they said they would send. Even though she told me it would have no tracking info…this is such a weird way for a company to organize itself in the day of computerized inventory. It’s so easy to set up and monitor availability information.

They never agreed to send me a bonus box or anything for compensation but I still got the tracking number. We’ll see when it arrives…

I just checked mine, nothing has changed. I’m not holding out any hope.

I received a mysterious email from Allure yesterday with a tracking number. I had previously received a couple of emails from them about what to expect in the May box and how to use the items. However, a week or so ago, I was told by a representative I would not be receiving the May box due to a shortage. I was very disappointed, especially since I’ve been a subscriber for a couple months now. Anyways, I just did a live chat to find out which box I am getting and guess what . . . it’s the MAY BOX!!!! Woohoo! I am soooooo excited!!! I just hope it has all the products in it and isn’t short anything.

So I just checked my account and it says that my last order and ship date are May 11th now. They were April 23 and 25th. What the heck?????

I have a feeling in my bones that the June box is going to suck majorly. Now, I hope that I’ll be proven wrong, but I just don’t see a way that they can top this awesome box, AND make people feel better about the disaster they caused. I feel that the box will be awful, either in comparison or on its own.

I decided to wait for June spoilers before making up my mind to ask for a refund or not, but now I’m starting to wish I had just asked for my money back. I had sent an email, not called them. I agree with people saying that this company is being inconsistent, especially with regards to giving out free boxes as an apology. It’s deplorable that no one was contacted by Allure either.

Overall Allure has a lot of burned bridges to rebuild next year and judging from the past two months I don’t think they’re going to be able to successfully pull it off.

Okay so I got an email this afternoon with a tracking # for my allure box, but I was previously told I wasn’t getting one. What the heck?! I mean, I’m happy that I’m getting one, but what’s going on?

Marina

Did they promise you a free past box? It might be that.
I just got the jan I was promised and a bonus(albeiet pretty lame) august box as well today. So even if you didn’t request one it’s possible you may still be getting one!
Hopefully you get a nice one though!

Cassie

Hi Marina! I wasn’t promised anything at all. I did a live chat with a representative, and she just told me I wasn’t getting a box. She didn’t tell me why, but I suspect I didn’t have enough funds in my account when they attempted to charge my card. I have been a subscriber for a couple months now. I hope it’s the May box, and they just made a mistake or found some more lol

Abby

Has anyone that opted for a previous month’s box, or the make up bag gotten theirs yet?

Lynn

No, have you? And they said that I should have it within a week. I don’t know if I have too much hope for Allure at this point. I am so disappointed.

Abby

No I have not 🙁 they told me I also would get it within a week but it will be 2 weeks tomorrow since the rep told me that. I am very disappointed too, this whole situation is extremely frustrating.

For anyone who thinks May was just a glitch, Allure oversold the April box too. I tried to get my 1st box in April, they simply sent a refund a week later with no email follow up. I had to call to find out why.

Then May was going to be my 1st box. Welcome to our sub, we don’t actually care about our new customers, you come last, I mean, not at all – we oversold May. Which is why I always pay monthly. If I had purchased an annual sub, I’d be fuming. Haven’t been checking this site & missed the drama. Found out on my own when my acct didn’t exist online & I called to locate it. Two months no box, Refund please! I wasn’t rude to the rep, but I was firm, no I don’t want anything to do with Allure, thank you. I even canceled the ‘Thrill’ box as a Sup couldn’t confirm if or when it would ship, and the thrill is definitely gone. I put my savings toward a great designer dress for spring.

Seriously??! Marketing is sending mass emails on surveys to products people did not get. Just got one on the Bulgari perfume that was sent in the April box. A Box I never got, or Mays’. Actually I completely canceled. Allure needs to get their act together. Oh, I did fill out the survey alright. Told Bulgari, they would be better served using a company that was a bit more responsible and organized, to promote their products. Not one that can not even keep track to who they sent out or did not send out boxes too. Not to a company that fails to inform their customers of a mistake they made.

I know the Luna was the big draw this month, but I’m really disappointed with it. It’s a terribly designed product; not easy to hold at all, PLUS you have to hold the power button down the entire time. Very difficult to use.

Me too! I found that I could monkey around pressing the button off and on and get it to stay running, but it’s a pain. I just went and bought a new cheap face brush that doesn’t need to be coaxed into working.

You have to press it once VERY hard for it to stay on. I think its to avoid turning it on/off during use.

You shouldn’t have to hold it down. I don’t have to with mine.

So I was one that subbed in April after the May spoilers, but now getting the June box (supposedly). When I called to inquire about the May box I was told, nope, I’d be getting June. When I told them I wanted a refund, they offered a free gift (bag with makeup). When I said I still wanted a refund, they offered the February box AND the free gift. I was told the free gift would be in with the February box. Guess what….I received the Feb box and nothing else. I have already cancelled the subscription. FYI, I also did the $5 magazine subscription with free tote. The “tote” came over the weekend. It’s not big enough to tote around much and the seam around the top was half ripped off. It went straight in the trash. Nothing but negative experiences with this company.

Just got mine today!

Fyi the inside of the Foreo case there is a code you can use online that gives you a discount online 🙂

I got my box in the mail the other day and I love everything in it so far. I had no issues with my billing and my box arrived on time. The Foreo play is amazing and really does a wonderful job of cleansing without drying my skin out like the clairsonic. I also really like the nail polish a whole lot! It is a beautiful shade of green and goes on nicely, nor does it chip easily. The two Foreo cleansers are also really nice. I haven’t had a chance to try the Cotz sunscreen yet.

I subscribed on April 6th and I did get a may box but only because I was told I would receive an April box and got skipped, they said they would not skip me two months in a row, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten it.. If that helps at all call customer service they are quick with an answer, I also did not get a tracking email but apparently it is in my mailbox today.

Cheyenne

I subscribed mid March and was told I would receive one. Might want to sent them an email.

I received the May box over the weekend. All of the items were great – except the Luna.

After all of the hype, I just didn’t care for it. My skin feels much smoother after using a konjac sponge and I definitely wouldn’t pay $39 for it. Ended up tossing it in the trash. 🙁

Got mine yesterday Very happy with it. The Cotz item in sunscreen. The nail polish color is not me, but the little face scrubber is awesome!

So I subscribed in the beginning of March and just got told my a customer service representative that I would not be receiving a box either due to the high demand. My blood is boiling. I don’t understand why I was not accounted for, I have an active subscription! Why accept new customers if you don’t have enough products for the ones they already have? And evidently they didn’t or I wouldn’t be getting turned away. And the worst part of it is they still charged me for it and didn’t even send me an email letting me know I wasn’t getting it. Ridiculous! I am very disappointed in allure and the value they have for their customers.

Never got tracking information. Box arrived today. Inner red box was mangled but the outer cardboard was fine. Huh?

Anyway, everything inside was in good shape.

FWIW, I was NOT a new subscriber in April so I did expect to receive this box.
