Allure Beauty Box March 2020 FULL SPOILERS!

The comments trashing rose oil and essential oils are inaccurate. Rose is wonderful for the skin. Essential oils can be too, depending on which oils as they all have different properties. What IS true is that essential oils need to be very diluted to be safely used and they should never be taken internally (ingested). This is also different than pressed oils or hydrosols, which don’t need to be diluted. Skincare formulators know this and use very small amounts of essential oils. Some people with very sensitive skin cannot tolerate anything that has a fragrance. This does not mean that it’s true for everyone or that essential oils are to be completely avoided. I’ve been researching skincare, how to formulate skincare, and herbal medicine (including it’s use in skincare) for a couple decades now, and continue to educate myself on new information. Don’t let the alarmists scare you. Rose is very beneficial to the skin.

I cant wait to try this box… I just might buy 2 of them.

I agree, Ann. Rose oil seems to have many benefits for use on skin. I just did several quick searches on line and could only find benefits. Just because something is naturally fragrant does not mean it harms your skin.

No, it really isn’t, where are you getting this from?
And the fact that it’s been used for a long time doesn’t mean anything: most people are still completely ignorant about skincare NOW – what can you possibly expect from people centuries ago?

I’m sorry to hear that. It can be very difficult to deal with, especially in the winter months.
Everyone is different. I couldn’t stand the akar, but that’s just me. It’s the citrus in it. I pretty much stick to straight lanolin. I’ve had patients on oxygen use it as well. If you or your mom are interested in trying the lanolin, ask the doctor 1st because it usually lasts all night long. The least expensive way to buy it is in the baby section, in the breastfeeding supply section, nipple balm. Just read the ingredients. It should be 100% purified lanolin.

I’m surprised to see all the negative comments about that lip balm, too. It was probably my favorite thing in the box!

I think everyone is just different. I’m in my mid 40’s. I grew up with chapstick, carmex or Vaseline. We did have other lip balms, flavored, but basically wax. I have no idea how many different types and brands I have tried over the years… For years and years my nightly lip treatment was Vaseline. Then I got pregnant and my skin got SO DRY! Doctor suggested several things including lanolin. Yes, I know what it is. I kept a tube of lanolin nipple cream in my nightstand for a couple of years, then Vaseline, got pregnant with my second, back to lanolin… Ran out eventually and went back to Vaseline but started buying the one with cocoa butter in it too. Then Ipsy introduced me to the Hanalie lip treatment. SOLD!!! Someone sent me some Dr. Lippy, it’s just lanolin. I have some Vaseline in the bathroom, but I pretty much stick to lanolin or Hanalie. I’m a lip chewer. 🙄 I rarely have skin on my lips that needs exfoliating. I really did think I would absolutely love the akar. But, I didn’t. It caused problems on my perfectly healthy lips. Cracking and peeling. It took a couple of weeks to get my lips back. The culprit ingredient is the citrus in it. If you have chapped lips damaged skin, I can see how the akar would help some. But, unfortunately, for me, it caused problems. I’m not blaming akar. I should have read the ingredients 1st. I’m regretting an add on from Ipsy that I have not tried yet and I’m not sure I even will. It’s the Polaar lip treatment and one of the ingredients is citronel. Citrus. Dang it! I’m obviously sensitive to citrus…

I’m with you. I would love one of the lesser know scents. I think the box is just fine with 3 full size products. I don’t understand chronic malcontent-ism! Lol

Especially by Rituals!

I disagree. I quit Ipsy years ago for sending so many of the same products over and over and over and very few high quality brands. I’ve had some repeats with Allure over the 7-8 years I’ve subbed off and on but relatively few. They have been into momonde a lot this past year but at least I’ve gotten different products from the line. If I ever see another smash box primer in any sub again (Ipsy fav) I will lose my mind! Lol

Same here! I didn’t want the Lue, clear Floss lip gloss, UD pencil in zero, or the rose water toner the first time I received them. I definitely don’t want them again less than a year later. I think I’m going to skip March, that’s too many repeats.

Hi Jenn, yes they do contain the same items. I cancel every month on Amazon and resubscribe if I like the contents. I don’t like subscribing through Allure as it would be so difficult to stop and start a sub.

Especially when the variations are the main reason people are skipping and canceling.

I’m still waiting on mine from Amazon too. Tracking says it should arrive between Feb 19 – Feb 24.

Because there is a chance some of us could recieve products, including a full size, of products Allure has already sent in the past year. If it was some type of amazing product, I might be cool with it but I just got that lip gloss in July and I’ve used it twice. I’ve also recieved the cleansing powder and mamonde toner through them since I’ve been subscribed since March 2019. So I’m just hoping I dont get those in my variation but if this is going to become a habit, I will cancel. I dont need doubles. I’m in the sub game to try new products.

the product is sent by weight, not by how much fits in the container.
