I got hung up on by Allure yesterday when I called them out for lieing and stated I was going to file a complaint. Allure is flat out lieing to customers that can get through on the phone. If they supposedly didn’t have one of the products for the box from one of the companies providing it, then why is all of it for grabs on MSA swap site? Including the nail polish?

I got an email from Allure with February, March and April Spoilers! Nothing new for February. March is Belif and Au Natural! April is a surprise collaboration! The Belif looks like the moisturizer that’s been making the sub box rounds. The Au Natural looks like lipstick.

I will subscribe again only for the Wander eyelash mascara, my favorite one, it’s amazing and so expensive, it makes it worths the 10 dollars

Does anyone subscribe through Amazon? Do you still receive the same products?
Reply

I do and yes you get same product except everyone seems to get same varient where with Allure a varient is a varient. Last month Amazon only sent out the Bliss patches where Allure sent out Ren or the peel off mask to .
Reply

As far as I know yes we receive the same ones maybe the variants are different but so far I’ve gotten the same boxes through both for the coordinating months ‘

Allure is a great value box to me. I mean, there are 3 full size items coming in February’s box. The value is always there and I appreciate what you get for a $15 box. I feel best when I really like at least 3 items in any given box but I’m happy with all the boxes for the price point. Highlighters are wonderful once you learn how to work with them. They add a completely new dimension to your bone structure. Maybe ppl are afraid of them? I love that when they add skin care items they are high end brands. I don’t use common drugstore junk like Ipsy used to send (first aid brand comes to mind).

First Aid Beauty is neither drugstore nor junk.
As a matter of fact, it’s some of the best skincare we ever receive in beauty subs.

If you like stuff on your skin like sodium hydroxide, used in drain cleaner and to dissolve tissue, xanthan gum (used to make tennis shoes!), alcohol etc. Not on my skin!
missann
Well it sure isn’t in the Tacha category or 50 others I could name. It’s pretty average at best in my opinion. If you like it, that’s great!

So, people complain and accuse companies of scamming them but when they try to scam deals by using other retailers and other email addresses etc they get mad when the system figures it out and cancels their orders?! What’s wrong with this picture? Rofl!!!

Christine Stahl
seriously, just CALL THEM! THE NUMBER IS ON THEIR SITE. I was just on the phone no more than 10 minutes (including a 4 minute wait) and was able to accomplish multiple things easily and cancel my subscription until March (don’t want the Feb box)!
SO easy!
Emails took forever, I must of sent 4-5! CALL THEM!

I actually agree lol, I do complain when i get scammed by these companies but I also don’t have separate emails or sneak more than one account, I’ve always thought of it as scamming as well.

If you’re referring to Amazon selling the boxes, I pay the same ( actually $1.06 less) for the Amazon boxes each month than for the one Allure charges and ships.
If you’re hinting that it’s fraudulent to subscribe through Allure and Amazon, that’s not true. Their system can see it’s my name, address and payment method for all my boxes every month.
The issue is that Allure doesn’t allow a customer to easily buy more than one box from them. Amazon.com is the answer to the problem.
I’m not aware of any scamming. What do you mean about scamming the retailer?

People are saying that Allure is supposed to get them on the 7th and they will ship with the Jan boxes. I think it’s funny that it seems like they waited an extra long time to send these out to weed out the scammers who only got the one box for the high-priced free goodie. I have had allure for over a year, and I cancelled after the Nov box bc I wasn’t interested in the Dec box. So when this promo popped up, I said what the heck and resigned back up. I got a second Nov box, which came in handy for extras in gifts at Christmas, and ended up really liking the Dec box. I haven’t gotten the CEO yet, but if they do end up sending it with the Jan box, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. If I don’t get it, oh well. I still got my money’s worth and then some.

If the Jan box turns out bogus those of u that used credit cards can dispute charges paid to Allure. We paid for something they could not provide. False promises to get orders AND requiring 3 months paid in advance is wrong

I finally received a reply a they said that I should receive it by January 7th. It took about a month and multiple emails for me to receive a reply. I got the response today.

I got scammed by Allure BeatyBox. I ordered the box just to get the full size Sunday Riley CEO serum. Well I never received it. When I called they said that they sent it. I was like okay where is the tracking number and they said they didn’t have one. So there is no actual proof that they sent it. Which, I doubt they did since many others had this problem. They then offered me a $20 face wash as a sub which is basically a bait and switch. No thanks my face wash is elemis. So, they were like okay we’ll have a manager call you. Well that was like 3 or 4 days ago, so I’m pretty sure they blew me off. I’m cancelling today. This box is not worth the stress.

Similar issue here. I ordered Allure in November as part of the promotion. Not only did I not receive the Sunday Riley gift (and I was one of the first to order under the promotion) but I didn’t get my November box, either. I called customer service and their answer is a big “I don’t know,” so I’ve cancelled again. Sorry, @lizcadman , you’re not getting any more commissions off me because this promotion was garbage and I don’t trust the next one not to be garbage, too.

I don’t understand why ppl accuse these companies of scamming. That is bs. This company did not get to where it is by scamming. When they send something other than the sub boxes, they don’t use tracking because it is an added cost. This is typical of all Beauty companies. I have had boxes stolen from outside my apartment door on a few occasions. Once I had an Allure box stolen and they replaced it at no charge and with no questions asked. I think a lot of the result people get is caused by how they talk to the company. I personally find that the more reasonable I am when speaking to them about a problem, the more reasonable they are about a solution. But to call them scammers I think is really off the mark because most companies do their best to try and please their customers, that is how they stay in business. It just bugs me when people assume that everything is always their fault.

Allure has really been cranking out the spoilers! I really appreciate that, it gives me something to look forward to. I’m in love with January and will use everything in that box, plus I’ll order an extra. February is not as exciting, but still really good! I’ll definitely try the mascara with all of you raving about it and I’m excited to try a clear brow gel since I never have. I always find at least one really good product in Allure every single month. I can’t say the same about my other subs.

The only item that worths it in this February box is the Wander mascara. I received it in December Boxycharm July and it’s amazing

At least it has 3 full size items, beats any box out there on value and sizes.

Yes….I LOVE the Wander Mascara. If I ever get my first box (subbed for Dec Highlighter–obsessed with highlighters), i think i will stay subbed until Feb…mainly b/c it’ll cost me more to buy the mascara by itself than to just wait. January looks decent enough…but again, we’ll see if I actually get the first box.
Did this the month Kat Von D Curated Allure and never got it. It kept getting sent back to the post office in error. Finally gave up and asked for a refund.

How do you spell ” Bad customer service”
Allure!!!!!
I ordered the 3 month special on November 23, I received a email saying opps we cancelled your order, gave refund, now we have recharged you so all good.
But No, no boxes came, no refund given.
Then I receive a letter dated December 18th, saying we can’t process your order.
I call, explained you have my money, now they say No you can’t have the deal. And we will refund your money.
The lack of interest from the 2 customer service reps and the supervisor was unreal!!!
NEVER AGAIN, it could be 5 dollars a box and they will never get my business.
Too many great boxes that have great customer service to mess with Allure.

This happened to me. I ended up calling the Conde Nast main number to complain. I was told, if you get the subscription box, you cannot get the Black Friday 3 month deal and extra gifts. It’s for NEW customers only. I told them I thought that was BS since, it didn’t state it on the offer that it was for new customers only. They charged, refunded, and charged again, but they ended up refunding me. The computer tries to debit the money from your card automatically but it bounces back as you cannot have 2 open accounts. Getting that deal would have opened a new account and will screw up the subscription. I was waiting over a month for my box and gifts and I HAD TO CALL TO GET THE INFO that I wasn’t getting it. SOB’s!!!! But I love ALLURE, I get the magazine too., I ended up getting a deal off amazon. I still get the subscription but it’s a month to month . SMH! Sorry this happened to you 🙁

It’s far more worth it to order Allure through Amazon at full price of $15. You will still get your value because you already know what’s in that months box and you can go in and cancel any time by clicking a few buttons. I’ve done it many times and it’s well worth the extra $5. Just an option for those that would like to bypass Allure CS.😉

I also get my box much quicker with Amazon prime. I did it one month where I wanted 2 boxes (via allure + prime). I received tracking the next day and it arrived within a week. Super easy to cancel. Just click a button. Amazon’s customer service is amazing as well if you have issues. I always use the chat option.
Jess B
Yes Amazon is literally the best for Allure & I get my box super fast..on the 9-10th of the month, every month.
missann
It’s not hard to cancel Allure at all. I think people just aren’t looking hard enough on the website. Go to FAQ’s. It’ll help. Also, my experience with customer service for the past 5 years has been stellar. I dunno. I think it’s important to use diplomacy for best outcomes with these companies. I always start with praise and tell them I know they will offer the best solution to the problem/complaint. It has worked for me.

Wow that is ridiculous such horrible service. I placed my first order just to check it out and only pay the $10 for first box but I’m worried I will have problems when it comes to canceling.

I just signed up today but I’m so worried I will have problems when it comes to canceling. I honestly signed up to receive one box at $10 and see how I like it and already called to cancel to not be charged in January. They said I will receive my first box and will cancel my subscription afterwards but we will see.

The first two months of 2019 are already looking good! November and December have been pretty meh for me. I used most of the masks in November just to get rid of them, and passed on most of December. I’m not an eye shadow person! I love all the skincare stuff we’re getting in Jan and Feb! I’ve been dying to try the Mamonde brand forever.

Thanks for clearing that up! Prefer that over a pink eyeshadow trio. Retails for $22.

I think that modelco product is actually the highlighting cream trio, not eyeshadow. Just FYI, it’s a cream bronzer, blush and highlighter in the trio. A “cream to powder finish” they say. So yeah it’s definitely the highlighting trio as they call it (really a cream blush, bronzer and highlighter) and it’s def not an eyeshadow palette trio like you have listed though

I googled it… the colors do look like they match the picture above, but the highlighting trio looks creamy vs the picture above looks like it’s powder based. The highlighter trio looks prettier IMO, so I am hoping you are correct!

Whomp whomp. January looks SO good but February is such a let down. I will most likely only use the sheet mask, brush and maybe the face wash. Am I the only one who isn’t impressed with this mascara? I’m sure I can gift the rest so For $15 I won’t cancel. But still a bit disappointed.

I emailed them about not having received the Sunday Riley and never heard back of course. February is just ‘meh’ for me but it seems like a lot of you love that mascara. I was thinking of re-subbing to BeautyFIX again but I am trying to work through all of my skincare samples first before I go getting full-sized stuff.

I was going to say Sunday Riley isn’t until January but then thought “maybe she’s talking about the subscriber gift” which they do seem to change quite frequently, and they do also ship it separately from the box.

Apparently the Sunday Riley Glow Serum in the January box is a full size. You can preorder that and the retinoid cream on Sunday Riley’s website. It comes in a kit with a glycolic treatment. I’m super excited for all 3 boxes! I’m a little sad that the retinoid cream from Sunday Riley will be wasted on me because I already have a high strength prescription retinoid cream I use every night.
