this is box #2 for those of us that bought all 3. you can purchase separately too.
they are calling this the July box but based on past experience I am assuming that it will arrive late August/early September.
since i bought all 3 i am disappointed at the number of repeats from May. i copied the link above,

I purchased this on April 21st and have not received mine yet either. I see several have not gotten theirs so I am somewhat relieved I am not the only one but disappointed that these are so late especially when they had orders in advance. I sent an email of inquiry but I think I may just call them.

I just called and they said that the expected ship date for May box is mid June but no exact date so I am guessing somewhere towards the end of this week they will ship hopefully.

Me too; I sent an email of inquiry last week and have not yet heard back.

I would like to order these boxes. I used to do the preorder but after the disappointment of some of the products aka fake nails in several boxes. I decided not to preorder but instead buy the boxes I was interested in. So I purchased the December box from 2017. I was charged feb 24. Still no box. I have called several times and finally just asked for a refund two weeks ago. Still no refund. This is terrible customer service. If they would have handled my problem I may have purchased but I will not give them more of my money with this issue unresolved. So good luck ladies. I hope your purchase goes well.

You probably want to do a chargeback with your credit card. I was in a similar situation…I ordered an October box in December, and in February I started to inquire.. by April they stopped replying, so I opened a case with my bank. Allure sent me an email stating the box shipped and the tracking # was 0000000000000000, a letter stating they were out of stock and I had never been charged (false), so my bank sided with me.

I saw something from Allure or Conde Nast that said the May boxes start to ship
in mid to late June. i remember thinking, well why the heck are you calling it a MAY BOX then? Hoping these start to ship next week. I bought all 3 but passed on an extra box. too much looks like it could be sample size and i think wen is just OK; not a big fan of it.

I used to absolutely love the beauty thrills boxes up until the past few years, they have become such a disappointment. Last year was the worst. Payed for the year in advance. I felt lthat we were so overcharged and some items were either missing or damaged when I received the box. Allure couldn’t replace them because they did not have anymore of the items so I was out of luck on those two products . I will pass. I don’t want anymore drugstore items.

I was all set to pull the trigger. I’ve done the prebuy for a few years now but I think I’m going to pass this time. It always bugged me that they didn’t give a discount for prebuying all three boxes. Then they started discounting them when they didn’t seel
I also looked at the items again, and my stash, and there’s just nothing in this box that I need or really have to try.
I do miss the old boxes with all the higher end products. Hope the next box is nicer.

Same here. There’s only one item in the box that I would actually use.

Jayne, I completely agree with you. And I’ve seen others share the same opinion over the last couple years. I can’t help but wonder if Allure just doesn’t care about our feedback or if they’re too tied down to the existing brand relationships they have and no longer want to seek out new brands to include. I feel it has to be the latter since they continue to feature the same brands/products despite the tanking popularity of this box.

By far, the most appealing thing to me in this first box is the Degree deodorant, so I guess that’s a hard pass!

What is the ear lobe thing??? I used to anxiously and eagerly await these and have Phone in hand, browser on site for the launch. I don’t know if I’ve just been a beauty box sub head for so long that it takes more to excite me, or if these have truly become underwhelming. I feel like they used to include more high end stuff, so it was luxe and practical and easier to justify the purchase.

I’ve been buying these boxes for the last 7+ years since they were the allure beauty box and advertised in their magazines. Back when you had to sign up for one because they were sold out in 5 min flat. I just can’t do it this year. I always looked forward to them and when they started doing the yearly subscriptions was one of the first to sign up. Despite them turning from awesome high end discoveries to toothpaste, I’ve always been a buyer. However, this is a low. I wanted to love the wen from the October breast cancer awareness box. So much so, I stuck it out through 2 whole bottles. It has ruined my hair. I now have frizzy regrowth from all the hair loss I experienced using that product. I’m saddened to see such an awesome beauty surprise filled box turn into this, but it’s time I say goodbye to these boxes…

Man, I would LOVE to get this…but I’m currently working on using up a lot of products like these from past beauty thrills boxes….obviously these are brand new but…they’d end up sitting around for 6 months while I use up everything I have!! But man I’m so torn. I’ve always loved these boxes, I DO have a lot but 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve got lots of friends and family who love to get nice little presents from boxes if I get something I don’t need….problem is I just signed up for Bomibox because I love Korean skincare and that box is so dang amazing!! I think I’m going to wait on this….I may be kicking myself later but I don’t think so. Honestly I’m scared about purchasing all 3 boxes at once; I did that with their Allure x Rue La La boxes because the first one looked so amazing but ended up disappointed with the second box (half the products were duplicates I’d just received so I ended up giving those away), and by the third box I was just Pissed Off. I used three samples from that box and the rest of it is just sitting in a closet I was so disgusted with the size and quality of the items I can’t even bring myself to give them away cuz I don’t want to be giving someone something that doesn’t work or that they aren’t going to like. I’m reluctant to purchase all 3 at once cuz I don’t want the same thing to happen this time. Have the first box be fun and cool and the last two be so-so….idk. Need some help figuring out what to do guys; take the jump and just get it cuz I know it’s a good deal and I’m going to use everything? Or save the money and pay full price for some specifics I’m missing?

This would be an excellent buy for someone just starting out in this beauty box addiction world, but most of us are on product overload. I would love to buy this for the sake of buying it, but I just don’t have room for… well… any of it

It was easy for me not to even think twice on this one. Many of the items are things you can find at Target. You could get the Target box every month and still have money leftover for a good lunch rather than buy this!

Can you buy all of these things for $60? The last box I got from allure thrills, I paid the same price. When it was delivered, using the booklet they included and the net, I added all the products. It came to over $325. You could buy all these products, but they’d cost a lot more. I’d buy this if I didn’t buy the last few. I only have 1 face to wash, 1 head to shampoo, I’m drowning in overload.

No way would I buy this without knowing what type of products the other two boxes will contain. The products in the Allure Box are just meh….I don’t know what happened to Allure their Beauty Thrills boxes use to be awesome. I haven’t purchased one in about three years. If they release more information on the other boxes I may reconsider but for now with them being a mystery I will pass on this offer.

Right! I feel like ALL of Allures boxes have gone downhill!! It’s different products but the same brands and they’re nothing special in my opinion. Needs more NEW products, and a semblance of order maybe? Like shampoo and conditioner, body wash, One dry shampoo, a face wash, toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, and THEN add in some extras like tools or whatever, that would be nice…. This box is pretty random I like the drunk WalMart spree comment, made me laugh out loud and nod because that’s what I thought at first too 😂

First time I’ve seen a box with two dry shampoos in it ( full size, I’m sure).
Takes it completely off the table without even reading the rest!
Are they only going to sell the boxes in unseen bundles now?
I might be interested in Brides or Glamour curation but this is just NOT me.

apparently some ppls hair fell out from using it. Ive used it before and LOVE it. I assumed it was bs but who knows .Im assuming some ppl are allergic to one or more ingredients used in it.. it suppost to be natural ingr and there seems to be a lot of exotic oils in there. Im not sure what would make ones hair fall out unless they had an allergic reation to something. which could happen with any product. im allergic to wheat am I going to sue wonder bread? no. lol

And there were tons of complaints about the hair products making people’s hair fall out. There was a class action law suit that Wen settled for $26 million.

Look up Wen reviews. There are many users that claim the product has done terrible damage to their hair and scalp. Large volume hair loss is not an uncommon claim.

Someone paid to have their products tested and they were found to contain asbestos.

Drminniecooper
The asbestos claims were about Claire’s stores eyeshadow and makeup. I haven’t read anything about asbestos in wen products, just the widespread claims of hair loss from their cleansing conditioner.

I’ve been using Wen for years and have not had any issues with hair loss or scalp issues; I didn’t even have any issues from the Taxotere claims when I went through Chemo – hair grew back & this time curly which was nice.
Would love to get this one also, but I am in the process of scaling down at this point. So I am being very selective on what I keep these days.

I’ve been using 613 for over 5yrs and have had no problems with hair weirdness or hair loss. I do wash and condition my hair twice a month so that probly saved me from the sebum build up other people were having issues with. 613 is the only thing i have found to help my psoriasis(of the scalp), works better then anything from the doctor even for me.
In short…..i am very keen on swapping for 613!

I tried the Wen SixThirteen Ultra Nourishing Intensive Body Treatment (from a previous beauty thrills box) all over my body. Got dressed for a dinner and wore a dark blue camisole under a shirt. SOMEHOW the lotion took the dye out of my cami and I had a blue back 😳 it was really weird. I couldn’t figure out anything that could’ve caused it, nothing I’d done differently except use this lotion. The camisole is a dark color but it’s been washed multiple times and I’ve NEVER had that happen before. I didn’t notice any problems or bad things about this lotion before that, and had used it multiple times….but after that I quit using it. In my mind, if it could pull the color out of my shirt what could it be doing to my skin that I’m not noticing yet? I don’t know, maybe there is a perfectly good explanation; I just wanted to give anyone reading a heads up that this happened.

Yes I’ve had that happen several times with lotions. The lotions oils adhere to the dye pigment molecules if it hasn’t fully absorbed. Nothing to worry about though. 🙂

I’m tempted and use to always do these boxes. Just not seeing enough there that I would use so this one is easy to pass up.

TWO cans of dry shampoo? I believe I’ll pass as it is very harsh on my fragile hair. WEN, on the other hand, is mild, fragrant, and makes my hair like silk.
I might buy one of the other boxes, but not 3 without any info on the other two. I think they are disingenuous in trying to offload 3 of these drugstore boxes at once after RENAMING them.

They do this preorder every Spring for all the boxes. The only difference this year is the name/collaborations.

I’m tempted but no! I was so happy with the recent Beauty Report box which was only $30 with so many great products. Way cheaper than Allure! If you haven’t tried Beauty Report, I highly recommend it!

These ‘THRILLS’ now Beauty Swag boxes are ALL full size though (they come out every few months each year). I order Beauty Report too -which is mainly deluxe and samples of clinical or spa grade items that I do prefer. These Allure boxes are drugstore brands with a few spa grade items thrown in. It is a crazy deal for all full size products. I love these boxes too…even though i prefer Beauty Fix or Beauty Report brands for skin care. Wanted to clarify for ya…

My thoughts exactly I was actually excited to see Allure has a special box.after looking at products what a let down the quality is not there for $119.00 and they value it at $750.00 well I amLOL
The Beauty Report beats this Allure hands down.This is more like a bunch of companies want new customers and using the Allure brand to promote Just not high end products IMO .others may see it diff tho

They’re valuing 3 boxes of mostly, if not all, full size items. The box shown above is only 1 of the 3.

I really, really would like to see the Bride and Glamour boxes before I commit. I’m not excited about the Allure box, but there are some useful items in there. $150 is a lot, especially since I can’t see 2/3’s of it.

It’s july and we still don’t know what is in the brides box. I barely got my may box until July. I love the boxes but the wait is unbearable. Also, I use WEN 90% of the year and love it. It’s been 2 years now and I wouldn’t go back.

Easy pass for me.. I already have most of that stuff, plus, I’m so overloaded with even more stuff, that I probably won’t even get to most of it before it expires. At $149.96 for 3 boxes, that makes each box $50 a piece, for $250 worth of drug store stuff. I’m just too spoiled.. I mean, after the Beauty Report box that cost only $29.99 for over $350 worth of higher end stuff, I just can’t pay that much for drug store stuff anymore..

I lost more than 50% of my hair in 2015 after using wen. I was one of the people in class action lawsuit that received a settlement. I had to wear a wig for over a year. My hair hasn’t gotten back to normal either. It is very thin and brittle and I still have bald spots.
