My first swag box and the Wen shampoo was missing but I did receive the pump for it, but after reading all these posts saying their hair fell out (gasp) and so sorry, I guess I am very lucky to have not received it. Lots mentioning drugstore brands, but the total price with shipping and tax was $64, so assuming you received all of your items (22), it comes to $2.90 per item, so not so bad drugstore brands or not.

How much dry shampoo and non-shampoo shampoo do they need to include?! what about face wash or moisturizer? Half the stuff in here is stuff I will never use. Pretty disappointing considering it came a month late. But at least they didnt include the toothpaste again.I already had 3 of those

The Wen which I will not use because of all the issues has a date of 2015 on the bottle of the bottle, what is up with that? It is almost three years old!

i am not a huge Wen fan but i do use it as an “in between” shampoo since I shower daily.
I alternate between Wen and my regular shampoo since the WEN alone makes my hair clumpy looking. works fine for me that way. never had any problem with it.

Received my box today but the Wet and Wild Hello Halo Highlighter was broken and completely covering everything in the box. 🙁

my box has not made it to the usps yet. tracking shows it left the York PA fulfillment center but has not reached the USPS. of course they COULD have missed a scan at the post office. hope my order has everything since both posts from recipients have one thing that is MIA.
i hate following up on missing items even though i have lucked out with more expensive replacements from Allure when that has happened

got my box and nothing is missing or broken.
THANK GOD! sorry to hear that others have trouble.
lots of stuff to regift. the nail polish is really pretty but too light for me; one of my nieces will love it. it’s hard to give away the wen conditioning cleanser this time because the bottle is all “sucked in’ so i will use it myself.
IMHO this box is not terribly exciting but it does have stuff i will use or regift. these used to be such a fun and memorable branding event for Allure…now i look forward to fabfitfun instead.
anyone know when the 2nd of the 3 boxes is scheduled?
is it August with the 3rd box in December ? Those are usually the big promo times;
i can’t remember what the initial email for all 3 said.

The original email said May, July and September. I save every email until I have my products in hand.

I got my box today! The Invisibobble hair rings were missing but everything else was there. Only received one Musely’s eye mask package not the 10 shown in the photo. I got the pink nail polish and it’s really pretty. Both of the Wen cleansing conditioners are from 2015 but it’s still good. Overall I’m quite satisfied with this box.

Anyone receive their May Swag box yet?

Way too early. We will be lucky to get it this month. They used to send them fast when they sold out but now they wait until they have a bunch to send.

Why call it a may box then?

I did the presale 2 years in a row. Not biting this time.
This box is a decent value but I just started “cataloging” my stash and I’m embarrassed by the amount of things I have that are unused. And, I just opened by FFF edit sale box and have no recollection of buying the things I bought. I still can’t figure out why I bought an eye palette when I have a tone of unused shadows. Serious product overload!

You can regift some of those things … or you can give them to a shelter where they help women , who are getting back on their feet

I feel the same way, i was going to buy this box but talked myself out if when I still have the last box sitting in my spare room with half of the products unused, It’s an addiction, I don’t need the stuff but feel like I will miss out if I don’t have it, this time I’m going to save the $70 and wait until I actually need something. Product overload is an understatement!!

Nope!

This is still a great deal! If you subscribe to the monthly, check your email. A presale price of $154.31 (includes shipping and sales tax) ALL IN.
Even without the Wen products it’s still a great value. A box this size is bound to have some “donation pile” items. We’re still getting through our past boxes, but I found several new items we love out from them. I find drugstore brands super expensive and harder to return if I don’t like them. Besides, I’d rather open a box than hit the pavement and deal with sorting through sale items.

What’s the link to the pre-sale for three? Thanks!

Agree. I never got one emailed to me and I’ve ordered them for several years.

Yeah, but everyone says most times they discount boxes after and they haven’t been “thrilled” with the quality of boxes
Reply
Tami
Allure spoils the entire box each season, so customers know exactly what to expect. 😆
This presale price is lowest I’ve seen for “thrills” boxes but I’ve only been buying since mid last year. ❤️ I bought several past boxes at $50 plus $10 shipping. That may have been the discounted price.
Tami
The price I listed above is for all 3 boxes

They should just start calling this the WEN box. And TWO dry shampoos??
Reply
Tami
I just saw 2 wen products (not counting the comb since it’s a generic product anyhow)…am I missing something…
Reply
Deb
The only duplicate I see here is the invisibobble hair thing. I purchased a complete subscription of the Allure THRILLS last year and there were a total of 4 boxes that were shipped.
I purchased the Swag because it’s still an awesome value even if I only keep half the boxes for my own use and donate the rest to the homeless shelters.

Sadly mine is NOT. I ordered the Dec + mystery box at end of Feb, they said they received order Mar 2– and guess what after about 10 CS inquiries I still have NO BOX and am out $!00. I am beginning to think they are shady and a don’t– no matter what is in the box. I am getting ready to contact BB and file a complaint. Even if I get it after 12+ weeks thats ridiculous.

Contact your bank to do a chargeback on your card. BBB can’t help you with that, they’re just basically Yelp (a review site).

$60 for wet n wild and mostly other drugstore brands? Plus $10 shipping?

Well guess I’ll be passing again. Was hoping for some value but this pretty much just evens out and that’s IF you use all the items.

What’s so bad about wen? What happened?

I feel the same…and to top it off…You can spend that money in TJMAXX or Roess and come out with more products and better deals…

Is there any way to find out the sizes of the Wen products? If they are the larger sizes, it’s worth it…..

I have the Cranberry Mint Cleansing Conditioner up for swap. I received it last month from Bless Box.

If you have fine hair, may I suggest staying away from invisi-bobble? With everybody talking about how awesome they are, I was really looking forward to trying them. That thing tore my hair apart when I tried to remove it.

Thank you for sharing about the Bobbi Pins. I too have fine hair and after reading your review my head actually started hurting. lol I hate tangles!!!

I can go to Walgreens or CVS, and pick out exactly the items I want, and still pay less than $60. Pass. Try again, Allure (and what’s with the L’Oreal hairspray in the May box?)!
Reply
Taren
Omg THANK you for saying that! They replaced my St.Tropez sunless tanner with that! I am so mad because as a Ky resident, I pay $17 for this box and it was mostly free Walmart samples! That was LITERALLY the one thing I was looking forward to, especially after last months Terrible box!

Did you get the St. Tropez Finishing Gloss instead?
The May box only comes with one St. Tropez item. You would receive either a tube of the Finishing Gloss or a can of the Purity Mousse.
Then there is also a L’Oréal hair product. You would receive either the hair spray or a hair mask.
Hope that helped!
Danielle
You’re supposed to get a St. Tropez item in addition to the L’Oreal — I would definitely contact them and let them know something important was missing.
Lisa Bradley
Really I expected more from Allure. The items in this swag bag don’t seem very swag.
Reply
Julie
Wow not a single hero item. You really do have to like a good chunk of the box to make it work it but even then you could buy all of those on sale at the drug store for about the same price plus rewards except for wen but many of us had issues with that.
