Melissa W.

How does everyone like the Wen products? It seems like there’s a lot of great reviews and a handful of bad ones from people who suffered hair loss. Does Wen really work?

Susan

Does anyone have the link for the new Allure beauty thrills box for December 2017? It was supposed to go on sale today but I cannot find it. This is becoming a regular thing now. Used to be simple, now I can never find it.

Kristi Hurt

I can’t find spoilers or anything on it. Did the presale have a December box included?

wordsone

Pre-sale included 4 boxes. i copied art of the confirmation email i received below.

Thanks for ordering the 2017 Allure Beauty Thrills Collection! This year we will be offering boxes in May, August, and December, in addition to our new, limited edition, October Breast Cancer Awareness box.

wordsone

i checked to see if there were 4 boxes in the Collection purchase and there are.
copied my confirmation below:

“Thanks for ordering the 2017 Allure Beauty Thrills Collection! This year we will be offering boxes in May, August, and December, in addition to our new, limited edition, October Breast Cancer Awareness box. ”

odd that there is nothing about December out there. they did sell the October later than the dates they released at first.

Renee

My box arrived and I kid you not, it looks like a returned box. All the bottles where smashed, everything that had a box was crumpled and open. I normally gift out of the boxes all year long – I can’t give this out (sigh). I complained and sent an email. All I got back was that they would relay it to their publisher.

Listen Allure, I’ve been a member for years, but I will spend my $ on FFF or Popsugar or another box who takes care of their customers. At the very least, let me return this hodgepodge messed up box. SMH!

Taren

Was kinda wondering about that since I keep getting emails advertising this box…..which means it hasn’t sold out yet. For 60 bucks with shipping, it’s all just too many repeats and low value compared to the past Thrills boxes. So figured I’d head over near to see what was going on, lol. Disappointed to see their’s still no discount or coupon codes considering the problems they’ve been having.

wordsone

i am thrilled!

i ordered 2 boxes and just received my replacement products…1 full sized estee lauder supreme light cream and 1 mini foreo kit with sample sized day and night cleansing cream.

i have another mini foreo that i love and this estee cream looks like it is soemthing i will really enjoy using

Luna

Like everybody else I was missing the gloves from mine too, but I’m okay with that as I would have gifted them anyways, plus I’ll just consider that a slight offset to the extra goodies they included in their Spring box. 🙂

Kelli

What were the extra goodies they included in the Spring box?

Luna

Gosh I can’t remember, but it was about six full sized items from the previous Winter box. I guess they included those because the Winter box did so poorly, but they were nice extras to me. I’m sure if you look at the MSA posts for the Spring box there are comments stating what the extras were. 🙂

Phoebe

I contacted customer service about the missing gloves and they are going to send me a Foreo-The Beauty Essentials. I already have one but not sure if they are sending the skin cleaning machine (that is pricey) or maybe some of the cleansers? I will let you know when I receive it.

Phoebe

I received the replacement item for the missing gloves–a Foreo Luna Play with 2 Foreo Cleansers. Much better than the gloves! But I ordered 2 boxes on different days and this is for the 2nd box I ordered. Still haven’t received anything for the first box.

wordsone

i was lucky i guess … i told them i ordered 2 boxes and got my Foreo ( i already have one and love it) and my Revitalizing Supreme light creme from Estee Lauder in the same box last week. Much better than the gloves.

Jen

Allure has the WORST customer service. I ordered an August box on September 19, it arrived October 27.

Ummm…..??

Every time I sent a questioning email, they sent a rote unapologetic response. Finally, they wrote Hope you’re enjoying your items… It still hasn’t arrived!!!

My money is going somewhere else from now on. Plenty of other great boxes out there.

Bye, Allure Beauty Thrills.

wordsone

i had 2 boxes and emailed them yesterday after i read the emails that said customer service was asking for substitutions with other box items. so i sent a friendly email that i thought
would help. WRONG!
anyone else think think this sounds pissed off? I was complimentary about the substitutions and friendly so this startled me:

Dear Subscriber:

Thank you for contacting Allure Beauty Thrills.
Replacement items will be mailed. Please allow for delivery time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

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,

Renee

This was nicer than my blow off comment that they sent me. Boo Allure!

Phoebe

Yes, the reply was abrupt. They are probably getting swamped with missing glove emails. They should have put a note in each box telling people that a different item would be mailed to them. But Allure doesn’t have the best customer service. I’m just happy to get anything.

Sheila

I just received my box today and no hand gloves either. My box contained orange blossom shower creme which I like, a dark contour stick that may work out as a lipstick, Paula’s Choice to lighten brown spots and brighten skin, I am pale with freckles so this should be interesting to try. I only hate the bright pink Burt’s Bees lipstick, but my goodness the huge bottles of Wen shocked and surprised me. I actually like not knowing everything in advance. Overall, for me it is a really nice box to use and share lots of new products.

Did anyone else receive their box? I got mine today, but I had a few issues. They accidentally left out the SpaLife miraculous moisturizing hand gloves and I got variants on some of the items that didn’t match the promised contents (lavender shower creme instead of the white peach and nectarine shower gel, a super dark Jordana contour stick instead of the highlighting stick). Does this box usually do variations? I was under the impression that, other than the lipstick, we were receiving the products as listed? Not being whiny… This is my first beauty thrills box and I don’t know if this is a common occurance.

Mary Treary

I hope I get the lavendar too instead. I really prefer that!

It’s normal. They reserve the right to change the contents have to because of the sponsors.

wordsone

i didn’t get the SPA LIFE Miraculous Moisturizing Hand Gloves either… I have had something like this happen in the past and they sent the product.

you should email [email protected] and they will help.

i asked customer service and they told me there were substitutions. and no exchanges or replacements… i asked because there were so many.

so i didn’t receive the JORDANA Glow N’ Go Creamy Strobing Stick either … i got the same hideous dark brown contour stick… i am a fair skinned blonde. WAY too dark .

LE PETIT MARSEILLAIS … i rec’d Cotton milk and poppy. wonder what it smells like

PAULA’S CHOICE RESIST Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum is replaced with what look like a trail size brown spot remover… this is why i bought the box so i am frustrated.

and SPA LIFE Miraculous Moisturizing Hand Gloves were MIA.

SIGH…

S P

Ugh, I’m sorry. I’m also super fair skinned, so the contour stick will be pretty much unusable for me as well. I hope they correct the issue with the missing Paula’s Choice… that was one of my reasons for buying too!

Phoebe

I received my box today. I did not get the gloves either but no big deal. I got Cotton Milk and Poppy body wash instead of peach/nectarine but that is fine with me. Also got a Jordana Sculpt and Go in Light which is fine too. I was missing one of the Wen pumps but I have plenty on hand.

I am very happy with this box mainly because of the Wen. I am going to order another box. Just too great of a deal to not have another one.

Also the order form says Contents of box may vary so they are covered for substitutions. Don’t know what they will do with the missing gloves.

Mary Treary

Me too! I ordered two boxes because of the Wen products. I love them!

Tara

I did not get the gloves either but that’s ok. I got no Jordana (was actually hoping to try that) and two Burt’s bees instead. I got the cotton flower and Poppy body wash and love it. The Wen makes me so happy. I would order another but couldn’t use the went fast enough. I hope they do a similar box in the spring,💕

S P

Thanks, that’s good to know! I must have missed the part about the varied contents in my excitement during the ordering process. As a whole, I really do love the contents… I’ve never tried Wen before, so I’m looking forward to using it! I’m pretty bummed about the gloves because I love those types of hand masks, but the value is definitely there for the entire box and I will use everything in it except the lavender body wash 😁

Christina

I got the exact same variations you described in my box today. I was planning on contacting Allure.

Sal

Me to. Poppy milk instead of the white peach. No hand gloves–and I was missing a pump for the large Wen shampoo. I also got a contour stick instead of the highlight. This was my first Beauty Thrills box. I had canceled the monthly subscription due to too many issues and poor customer service…

S P

Were you missing the gloves as well?

Tara

This says it would ship 7-10 days from payment processing. Can anyone confirm the shipping time frame? I should have received a confimration by now.

Michele Padgett

I can confirm. Mine is at my local post office and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I ordered on the 16th

Sonija

My box arrived today, I didn’t get an email letting me know it was being sent out.

Tara

I received notice that my box shipped!

Mary Treary

Great! Thanks so much for letting us know. Appreciate it.

Siobhan

I ordered on Sept. 28th and still haven’t received a confirmation. I emailed them, and this was the response:

Dear Subscriber:

Debra

My question about this box is how is it related to Breast Cancer awareness? It was announced that it was going to be a “special” box specifically for BC. Anyone know? Am I over-looking something? Not real fond on all the WEN products either. I will say that this box is letting me down.

Wilma

If you took time to read the comments you will see Wen is included because his Mom died from Breast Cancer and proceeds from this box go BC charities. 1st time they have done this. Don’t be so critical.

Mary Treary

I’d think since this is a unique box, never done before October BC Awareness Month, we’d receive by 10/31. But who knows? I don’t really care as the box is a want not a need for me.

Phoebe

Don’t hold your breath. The recent boxes are shipped in about a month from payment. The only time they have been sent quickly was in the old days when they sold out the first day.

Tara

I guess I’m going to buy shampoo, toothpaste and deororant while waiting for my shampoo, toothpaste and deororant

Martha

When do this box ship? Does anyone know?

Renee

gosh, been waiting so long. I’m an annual subscriber and haven’t gotten any emails with dates or shipment info…

Siobhan

I ordered on Sep. 28 and I just got an email with my shipping notification.

potboiler

That’s what I came here to find out!

mpasek1968

Me too!

Mary Treary

Me too. But I couldn’t figure out how to make an original comment.

Tara

Is this a recurring subscription? I tried to find the customer service website but there is none listed.

Mary

When you order your first box you can sign up.

Taren

Does anyone know if the September box has gone on sale yet? I bought one, but kept seeing that it was still available so wondering if they’ll offer a discount.

Annabella

Resisted, thought about it, now bought it. Good staples and so far good experiences with Wen. Now I can move on with my life.

Angel

I was so disappointed by what is in this box. Wen! I purchased the last box which I loved and couldn’t wait to see the contents of this one. I definitely will be passing, the fact that allure put Wen in this box makes me disgusted. I first hand saw what wen did to family members and friends of mine. Even my hair stylist told me stay away it gets impacted in the scalps pores and won’t wash out. Friends of mine that had beautiful hair lost clumps and clumps I felt so bad. Many of them hiding at home not being able to leave there house. Was traumatizing on them. I looked to see if they even changed the formula but could not find any information on google, or in Chaz deans main website making ammends and proving to people that your formula has been changed would be nice. Considering the people that got affected by this product. My heart goes out to all the people that were affected by Wen. I wish wen would let us know if the formula has been changed and make and Annoucement like how has it changed? What is different from the new formula vs is the old? The risk are heavy using this some people didn’t notice right away after a few years of use. So that is scary as well I just think the risk are too high and not being able to find out much on if the formula has been changed scares me.
Definitely will pass on this one. Hopefully the next will be better 🙁

Karla

Even if WEN fixed their problem I mY literally scaredy-cats and don’t want you test try any of their priducts. Must if the big items a are from wen which I won’t be using. Maybe allure can exchange the items to something different for the ones that don’t feel comfortable using the wen product. It’s out safety and choice and I would hope allure won’t help us out if

Darla Gray

There was a lawsuit over it, I know as I was contacted! I doubt they’ve changed anything, either, but did you try contacting WEN directly?

Maggie

I was really enjoying reading all the products in the box until I realized there are 5 bottles of Wen. That’s a lot of Wen. This would’ve been a excellent deal though if I was still using Wen. I used Wen for several years with no problems. When I dyed my hair red, I was hoping that it would keep the color better, but it was just okay. So, I looked into another product & I like it better for color maintenance. (I’m using Monat now.) So, this is going to be a pass. I still have 2 bottles of Wen that I’ve not used under my sink. I don’t need to add 5 more bottles.

Elle

Hi Maggie – I’m curious about your Monat experience with your color treated red hair. Which product(s) do you use and how long have you been using it? I’ve just started hearing about Monat recently and am curious to try it. Havent quite dared to. 🙂 I’ve been using Wen for several years now and it’s the only product I’ve been able to find that doesn’t wash the color out of my hair right away. Thanks for any info you can provide!

Maggie

Hello Elle,
I’ve actually used a few of the Monat products. I started with the Volume System (Renew Shampoo & Revitalize Conditioner). I’ve also used their leave in conditioner & styling products. I’m currently using their Intensive Repair shampoo & conditioner. When I use their products, I find that my color stays pretty good between salon visits. My hair doesn’t turn brassy or too faded. In the first two washes after my hair is freshly colored, the water is tinted a little red, but then the color stays. And my hair color stays the same (no fading) for the 6 weeks between salon visits. Plus the products are good for my hair. It’s great! My parents, my brother & my best friend are now all using Monat products too.

Dianna

This box isn’t as appealing as the new Cosmoprof box.

Deb

I am an annual subscriber and am more than excited for this box! I also ordered an additional box for my daughter since she also has 3 teenaged daughters of her own who will love the hair products!

Mary

Awesome

Deanne

Why would I ever pay $60 for this stuff I could go buy mostly at Walmart? I don’t see the Allure connection with this box.

Mary

This is a lie. You can’t buy all this at Wal-Mart, much less than for $60

Mary

I ordered I think it is a good deal. I Like Wen products. They don’t have a lot of chemicals or sulfates so it leaves your hair soft and silky. I have been using Wen shampoo from the last Allure Beauty Thrills box with good results. I Know that many people have had hair loss according to this post but I have not had this problem. I Love it and I look forward to multiple bottles

Mary

Me too.

Kelli

Wow you still have product left from last years Summer box? I must overly use product…..lol

I need to really work on this, save some money….

julie

I used wen and it did in fact make my hair fall out. I stopped using it the way they recommend which is to rub it in to my scalp. Since my hair was falling out from the root I suspected it was this product long before there were complaints and a lawsuit. As soon as i stopped using it on my scalp, my hair stopped falling out and grew back.

I’ll occasionally use it on my ends because i like the results but I won’t let it get anywhere near my scalp.

Mary

I’ve never had this issue.

Missy

Awhhhh soooo disappointed I don’t have the money for this right now! I am happy there’s so much wen in this! I have very long hair that needs lots of tlc and wen works wonders! I’m hoping since so many people appear to be passing on this one because of to much wen that they will be available when I have the money.

Mary

You’ll have to get an extra job. Don’t go into debt over hair stuff.

Laura

Coconut smell is my least fave and i have straight hair. All that conditioner cream makes my hair look super dirty and greasy. boo.

Regina

Eeek! No way would I even take the chance of losing my hair. I just grew it back after losing it during chemotherapy. Pass for me.

C. M

For those that believe something is wrong because of the amount of Wen, here is a bit of info. The creator of Wen, lost his mother to cancer. He is also very heavily involved in charity work and fundraisers.

JuJu

I am not sure I see the connection.

Mary

Pay attention. This is breast cancer awareness month donation.

C. M

JuJu, a portion of the sales from this box is donated to a cancer organization.

Tina

I would love this box except for the Wen. I tried it and it ruined my hair. I definitely don’t want five bottles of it. What a disappointment.

C. M

I am all over this one as a 10 yr Wen girl!

As for some of these comments…

Wen contains menthol, the same ingredient that causes the “tingling sensation” in products such as Head and Shoulders, C.O. Bigelow, some Dove products and Paul Mitchell Tea Tree.

The Bamboo Green Tea products (green label) contain rice protein and the Seasonal products (blue, red, white) contain soy protein. None of the Wen items included include wheat, it was only 2 items in the wheat based line that people complained about.

If you tried the original line of Wen, the rice protein products are more nourishing and many state they rinse easier. The seasonal products offer more treatment over the original line as well.

If you were to arrange the different lines from least treatment to the most it would be as follows:

Original
Rice
Seasonal (the fun line, new scents every season)
Ultra Nourishing

Many people think all Wen products are the same and this couldn’t be further from the truth. There are different lines with different properties and different ingredients. As such many of us Wen girls have our favorites so this set is a good way to try a few out.

The jar is a Bamboo Green Tea remoist treatment. If you are looking for a deep treatment this is it! You use it on clean wet hair, let it sit for 30 mins (I do it overnight) and rinse with cold/cool water.

Beccah

I am one of the people that filed a lawsuit against Wen and won! I lost 75% of my hair in 2015 and it has just started growing back but now it is very limp and fine and I still have bald spots where hair has never grown back. I had to wear a wig for 2 years! Wen quickly settled after seeing video and pictures and doctor statements. They still have not put warnings on their products that you may lose your hair! 1,000’s of women have had problems with Wen products but they still do nothing to fix the problem except pay out millions of dollars in settlements. Wen is a horrible, irresponsible company! My life has been ruined in more ways than one!

Laura

What products or line of Wen caused this?!!! I always hear about this, but I am not clear why hair loss was a side effect…

chris

I hope your hair grows back. This sounds truly awful to have to experience. I want to thank you for sharing your story. I have made my decision. The risk is not worth it to me. Losing some hair is one thing but to still have bald spots 2 years later is unacceptable. This is a case of permanent damage in my opinion. The fact that your hair is now fine and limp…. what the hell did their products do- and more importantly, why? I can’t thank you enough for sharing!

C. M

Nor were they required to do so by the terms of the settlement. In fact the settlement stated there was no evidence of fault found with Wen.
