I was wondering the same thing. The have changed the name from Beauty Thrills to Beauty Sway. Right now you can pre-order May, July and September for $149.96. Google Beauty Thrills 2018 to find the link. You can also see what is coming in the May box. Way better deal than in the past where it was over $200.

I saw there was a lot of delays in the shipping. A little bit after I placed my order I called to see if there was a backorder or something, just so I knew what to expect. The man was so rude. Was hesitant to answer any questions. He was dimissive. He didn’t give his name. I simply asked if I should expect a delay so I wasn’t constatantly checking for it. I was ok with waiting I just wanted to know. He ultimately hung up on me. Be warned the customer service is not great. I then wrote an email explaining my experience and never got anything back. I am very dissappointed. #AllureFail

I was just wondering the same thing. I haven’t seen any adds in the magazine. There will usually be a 1/2 or 1/4 page add in the magazine 1 month before the sale. I never received an invite to pre-order all 3 boxes for the year. That usually comes in March. Weird.

My bonus thrills box from the 3-month BF deal came today(!), and I know it’s not the December thrills box because I just received that one yesterday (no issues with mine thankfully). Just thought I’d share since a lot of us on the BF deal were left hanging on when we’d get that bonus box.
(btw, I don’t know which box I got. I’m at work right now, and the person who received it at my house said it was quite heavy, so I don’t doubt it’s the October box with all of the Wen products in it.)

How many No 7 products are included the box?
Reply
wordsone
just one. small 30 ml size.
the description on the ad says one of 3 options.
curious, have other who have received this product liked it?
i usually love No 7 products but found this one a bit thick and sludgy. i am using the N07 Airbrush Away Original Primer now.
to be honest it is so cold outside that i am slathering on a lot of moisturizer so
perhaps the moisturizer isn’t working with the primer.
directions say to moisturize as usual though. Maybe i should try it with No 7 serum.

Thank you for answering. I noticed the above description says one of 3, but someone on this discussion mentioned they got 2 so that’s why I was a little confused. And of course now I just noitced they said they bought 2 boxes. D’oh!

both boxes. arrived today. Complete, no missing or damaged items.
The No 7 products are 30 ml…i think that is sample sized but if that
is the case they are large. i was lucky enough to get one regular primer and one pore minimizing primer.
this is the best box we have received in a while. Glad i ordered the second.

Called on the 9th, have my box delivered today. It’s complete and no damage.
I had NO shipping notice at all. Now, have to call the Allure CS people about my 3 Jan. Allure red beauty boxes- as they have my log ins all messed up on their site.
I am thinking Allure CS is MY own personal Glossybox CS. Arrgghh.

I think some were calling but we were getting the run around. I feel they could not fulfill our orders and that is why they were currently offering it for sale again.maybe they received more funds recently and can now fulfill the older orders. At this point we will never know for sure. Overall I would again recommend start calling them to hopefully iniatiate a tracking number.

Hi everyone. I just called CS. I live in Louisiana so it’s 6:15 CST and got thru with ease. Told them I ordered on 11/23 and was charged same day. Was told my box was in warehouse and would ship this week and once it did, would receive tracking number. Hope that is good news for those of you still waiting. I too am completely frustrated with this. And get this, before call ended, tried to sell me the yearly one for a friend or family member!!?! Wanted to say no but hell no! Wouldn’t want this headache again. 🤢

I just called again for a second time to see what the response would be. The first call the rep said she would send a reship and there would be no tracking number. I finished with her and decided I would call again to see what the next two would tell me. They told me another reship was in process. I started questioning the rep in a nice way she had no answers except to get a supervisor on the phone and put me on hold. While in hold I received an email from them that my box us being shipped and I have a tracking number. Even though they said they would not provide one on a reship. Now I feel that they are really shipping out my final box and never did previously. I highly recommended you call and me you hopefully get a tracking email right away. I will wait for this and let you ladies know if I received mine. Wow this is so much work and a disappointment.

I just called and got a response that my box did ship and usps hasn’t delivered it yet. She didn’t know why. This is bull. She said she will send out a reship and if I don’t get my box one the next two weeks to call back. I said did they really ship it or do they not have the products. She said they wouldn’t sell something if they didn’t have it. More bull. I asked when they are going to be honest and let us know what is really going on. No response. I’m basically at the point of disputing those with my cc company. What a bummer.

Just got off the phone with cs member Vincent His extension is 2100 and he is VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. He said I could give his name and extension to people who are having no luck getting their paid boxes.
What he told me is this-IF your box has not arrived, and there was never a shipping notice, it is because they ran out of stock.
He said the box sold out almost immediately. I wonder how many MSA readers DID get their boxes, because it seems a ton of us didn’t.
They are offering immediate refunds for people who are contacting them, of course, but MAY have more stock/ other stock to fill the orders. I didn’t get a clear idea of whether that meant all the orders, or people who offer to take substitutions, like I did ( I do NOT need an Acne mask that lights up at age 59, for example LOL).
I’d actually rather have a Mystery Box from them if they will take my skin type into consideration. I’ll update this as I know more.

I don’t doubt that he told you that but it doesn’t make sense to me that they ran out of stock from overselling. Why is the box still for sale then? And why didn’t at least the people that ordered all 4 boxes in May get their boxes? I have ordered a lot of these boxes over the years and it has never taken this long to get my box. First the Walmart box is 3 months late and now this. Don’t sell something that you don’t have! I did receive my mystery box the end of December. I emailed today just to let them know I am concerned about not receiving it yet.

Didn’t receive an email, but according to the post office, I have a package coming from Glendale Heights, Illinois. Finally!

Linda i agree.
they kept sending emails to offer the boxes; they would not keep selling a box that sold out almost immediately.
I was told that the fulfillment list was printed backwards ….that meant that the solo boxes would have been fulfilled prior to my yearly subscription box.
and that is what the customer service rep saw…. my 11-25 order on it’s way (whatever that means) nothing shows up for my may 8th yearly subscription order
Phoebe
I don’t believe that the December Thrills box has sold out because they are still selling it. Just another lie in my opinion.

Thank you so much for the contact info, I also pre ordered last year all 4 and never got a shipping notice . I also did the buy 3 months of the monthly and get a free mystery box and have gotten nothing. I hope to call Vincent tomorrow I will post here with the outcome of the call.

I was told my November order is on it’s way to the warehouse and there is a tracking number in the works. mmmm, ok.
they were very friendly and said someone printed out the orders backwards…
can’t figure how that caused a delay …. so just load the damn boxes and ship them.
we can’t tell what the shipping order is anyway.
so my May 8th order fulfillment will happen after my November 25th order fulfillment.

I have not received the December Thrills box yet. So irritated with Allure! But I received the mystery box right before Christmas. The return address on the box was Iowa but the tracking showed from Illinois.

I still haven’t received the box and I prepaid for the year. I should have been at the top of the mailing list. I email “customer service” very week and am told every single time that they have no information to give me. I’ve never encountered such poor customer service in my life. Allure should be embarrassed.

Me too, me too! I signed up for a full year. You should have seen my last season box. It looked like a returned box. When I mentioned it, they just said they would bring it up to the curator – they should have offered to replace. And still no box for this season.

i have to laugh.
Even if ALLURE sent me my boxes i wouldn’t have gotten them.
haven’t had a mail delivery since Wednesday.
i understood why there was no mail delivery on Long Island during the white out conditions during the bomb cyclone on Thursday but it apparently was too cold to deliver mail on Friday and Saturday.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin and while it’s really cold on LI, i grew up with weather like this. for 3-5 months a year! and the road conditions on Long Island are pretty decent as well. been on the road since Friday AM.
So is this type of thing happening in the upper Midwest now?? USPS just doesn’t delivery mail when they think it’s too cold? ( i am not talking below zero temps with wind chill of -30. that is severe.)
I somehow doubt that the USPS stops delivery in North Dakota, Minnesota or Northern Wisconsin or the upper peninsula of Michigan when it’s 20 degrees, and sunny with a bad wind chill ( wind gusts = zero wind chill). people wouldn’t get prescriptions or bills and there would be hell to pay.
maybe we will get something next week….
Debra
I agree. I also pre ordered in the beginning of the year. Never had a shipment issue. Its strange I ordered an additional Dec. Box because I wanted to order a mystery box. Got the mystery box and did get a Dec box but I am still waiting on the extra Dec Box. And it is bothersome that another email has gone out to be able to order these Dec boxes again. Why would I have received a Dec box and not too many others have. It is annoying but the price of the box is so worth the products inside. Lets keep our fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone.

Got the same email and boy am I glad I came here to double check exactly what was in the box. Reading the comments, I am staying the hell away from them. I ordered once before, and that will be all the business I will ever give them. Sick of these companies that lie and also cannot get their stuff in order. It’s just not worth it. I’d now rather pay full price and just not have to deal with the nonsense.

Just an FYI…..the monthly box is completely different than the Thrills box. I haven’t really had problems with the monthly box, just not having problems with this Dec Thrills box that I bought earlier in the year when I purchased them for the entire year.
Linda
I only just received an e-mail within the last 20 minutes about the January box (what’s in it, etc). Nothing about the Thrills box… this scares me, because I only want January’s box and this is my first Allure purchase (as a sub and the only month I want).
Someone please tell me when I should cancel the box so I don’t get charged again. I don’t know when they ship, either…. think they said second week for the regular sub? :/

I called today about my box and finally was told that by the time I had ordered on cyber Monday, they had ran out of a few products and had to order more from the makers, which is taking longer than usual to restock. So at least that is better than the standard “we have no information…”

I actually received an email a few hours ago that my box has shipped and is on its way. However I did place this order back in the beginning of the year and recently I also ordered an additional December box and a Thrills box haven’t had a shipping confirmation on this yet so at least it’s good news that one of my December boxes is on its way and they gave me a tracking number.

I’m amazed. I now also received my mystery thrills box which is from May. I like this box and glad I got this one. They didn’t send me any tracking information for it. Now all I have left to receive is the additional December box. If there are any extra items in this May box I will post it. Can’t check it right now since I am at work.
Debra
So I did receive my box today all the items listed are what I received exactly. After I receive my additional see box and the thrills box I will be done ordering these.
Deb
That is great news! I ordered for the entire year back in May and then I also ordered boxes for all three of my daughters and Mystety boxes for all three as well. So far the only thing that has been received are two of the mystery boxes. If I don’t get tracking notifications for the remaining items within the next few days, I am going to dispute those charges with my credit card company. That will definitely light a fire under their feet.
Sonija
I think they might have not told you the whole truth with that statement. I pre-ordered for the year, I have no information as to when my box will be shipping. So I don’t think it matters if you ordered from any other offer. The last I hear was on Monday that in two days I should get a shipping notice but, I didn’t…

What they told Nicole.. meaning: they cannot start to ship all the boxes out until they have all the products to put in all of them. They must have oversold and were short on some of the items. That is probably what the delay is.

What is the Mystery Box? I did the pre-order for the years worth of beauty thrills boxes. Is the mystery box separate, party of the regular beauty boxes or inclusive of the years worth of beauty boxes subscription/pre-order?
Also I haven’t received my December Beauty Thrills box nor have I received any sort of notification of any kind on it.

Phoebe
People who purchased the December Thrills box were given the option of adding on a Mystery Box for $35.99 more. As far as I know you cannot buy the Mystery Box alone but that really isn’t fair to the people who participated in the pre-order. So maybe call or email Allure to see if you can buy the bonus box because you pre-ordered the year of boxes. The Mystery Box is the May Thrills box plus 5-6 extra items. Definitely worth $35.99. Nobody has received the December Thrills box yet as far as I know. Also, Allure did not send an email about the Mystery Box shipping.

I just called again on the status, as I also received the mystery box but NO beauty thrills box. Was told it is STILL in warehouse mode and not being shipped yet. A supervisor is supposed to contact me. Insane.

This is taking so long and why can’t they just be upfront and honest to appease us. After this shipment I am finished dealing with this. I ordered 2 December boxes and 1 mystery. Most of the time the boxes are def worth the price but I am stocked and could care less anymore. They have literally taken the “thrills” out of any future purchase from me. Sorry just needed to get this off my chest. And yes I understand its a busy time of year but they should have planned better in the future. And should be more detailed when calling customer service.

UH-OH THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR CHRISTMAS DELIVERY.
Received an email this morning….
“Get $280+ in Beauty Products for just $49.95 – While Supplies Last!”
if they haven’t sold all of the Thrills boxes, I doubt they are making a big push for Christmas delivery.
i did get a shipping notice for my monthly box and have always thought that the monthly fulfillment took precedence over the thrills box. I believe i have always received the THRILLS shipping notice after the monthly box shipping notice .
could be wrong about that though.

I got the email too but when I clicked on it to buy it the October box came up. Definitely didn’t want that one. I went thru here to get to the correct web page to buy it! It’s a Christmas present for myself so I’m not too concerned with when it comes but I can understand people being upset they haven’t gotten theirs yet when they ordered early!
