Allure Beauty Box Review + $5 Coupon – September 2019

This is my first box from Allure and for ten dollars (with coupon) I’m really pleased. I agree the eczema creme is really random but I have a terrible skin rash from black mold poisoning I had at my last apartment that’s still healing. I put it on and it has really soozed the itching and discomfort, so i think I’m going to buy a whole bottle. But this isn’t exactly the typical situation so I understand why not everyone would want that. I haven’t quite figured out what to do with the dew yet other than make my skin greasy, but I’m sure I’ll work something out. Pretty neat trying a new product I wouldn’t have ever purchased otherwise.

That shampoo and conditioner is my new holy grail for this frizzy curly girl.

I checked both boxes and I got shampoo in both.

My husband was admiring the quality of the box (Amazon arrived today), so I gave it to him. He’ll probably use it to organize hobby stuff.

I received my box yesterday direct from Allure and I received the powder. I thought it was nice that it came in a little box with a matching small puff. I would have been happy with Nars product, but I slightly preferred the powder because I travel quite a bit and nice to have travel size.

Did anyone get Nature Lab perfect smooth blowout lotion instead of shampoo? I THINK it might actually be shampoo in a mislabeled tube, but I’m not sure. Very odd.

I got my box today and, yay, got the powder!

Now if the Amazon box has the pencil, I’m golden.

Has anyone received theirs from Amazon yet? I ordered it on the 2nd and haven’t received anything which is odd because it usually comes quickly from Amazon. Then I got an email today saying my subscription was cancelled. But I didn’t cancel it? I really wanted the Nars lip pencil, but I think this is the universe saying I don’t need it.

Glad to see they’re back to a box. Much more useful and eco-friendly. I’m looking forward to trying the Dewy Stick. I do minimal makeup on the weekends and think it will be a nice addition. I hope I get the Nars pencil since I’m getting a full-size finishing powder in my Glam Bag plus. But if I do get the Laura Mercier, can’t really complain about having that as a backup.

I have about 6, is your swap name the same?

Megan have you tried the LXMI balm in your legs? I hate the smell but fir some Reason that stuff worked miracles on my eczema yet any other Shea butter makes my legs very vengeful and angry as you put it…And thanks to multiple Epsie subscriptions I have enough tubes of that stuff to last a lifetime

Still never got my July “free mystery gift” which was the F.A.B product. I called in twice and they promised to send but I never got it. Probably pointless to call back in September, though.

Really skimpy box, in my opinion, both in products and size of them (.17 oz for two of them? really??). Very disappointing with no great “wow” that I am used to feeling when I get my Allure box. Are they tired of curating boxes and want to get out of the business or what?

Skipped and happy. October looks much better.

I so want that NARS Lippie.
Does anyone know if the amazon boxes come with them or the powder?

The ciate london dewy stick I’m extremely excited about! This stick is Allie Glines new obsession shes been using it like for the past few months and it looks stunning the way she uses with a full glam face! I can’t wait to try this out, and the nars!

Cancelled a couple months ago and don’t regret it one bit. The boxes just aren’t what they used to be anymore.

I am not impress with this months box neither,and the value of this months box is so low….So far this year all of the boxes have had a value of 75.00 and up,this months box does not even hit the 60.00 mark…And the products are not that great neither,the two full size products are not for me,as I can not wear any shades of red in lippies,and the Ciaté London Dewy Stix is not foe me neither….I do like all the little sample products but they are little and not worth much….Oh well I guess you have to have 1 or 2 boxes a year that is not that great,hopefully next months and the the rest of the year will be amazing boxes to make up for this one.

This an okay box! Nothing grand and nothing bland. I hope I get the translucent powder. Because of subscription boxes I have over 100 lipsticks. I’m always excited for shampoo and conditioner because I travel a lot for work.

I am pretty new to Allure (this will be my 4th box) but so far I’m happy. At the price point I feel like if I receive two items I like then it’s worth it – especially love the full size items. The Huda box was a miss for me (if only I were glam enough for red lips and falsies) but otherwise I’ve found most of the products to be useful or at least fun to try so not a waste. I use to get Birchbox and found that I was using very few of the samples and also felt like a sucker paying for a box of (exclusively) samples every month – the cute boxes were my favorite part of each month’s package and they alone are not worth the $10/15.

I’m glad that Allure sends basically the same box to everyone. That way I know to pause after I see the spoilers. I skipped September. I wish I could tell what I was getting in the Sephora box, in time to skip.

I have the shampoo and conditioner from a previous Ipsy offer and now I am super excited to try it thanks to this review! I have frizzy hair so hopefully this makes a difference.
I do wish allure wouldn’t do variations, that was why I selected this box in the past; good brands and no variation to be disappointed over.

I am glad I skipped only thing I like is Nars pencil. Bring on more October spoilers!!!

this looks ok to me…can’t wait to get it..

Love the look of the pencil. Always up to trying new shampoos.

IMO this is a ‘meh’ box. Not terrible, not wonderful. Still more useful for me than false eyelashes and bright red lipstick.

I do wish that Allure would quit the variations though. I remember back when they didn’t do them! Ah, those were the days. I’m not a fan of being bummed because I was unlucky and got something I didn’t want. I’ve got Ipsy for that lol.
