Has anyone noticed the ingredients listed on box of Mannakadar lip mask are totally different than on the actual tube? The ones listed on outside box are pretty bad too. I am curious as to which one is correct?

Bad how ?

Maybe not “bad” but all chemical ingredients! Totally different than what is stated on mask tube.

Not going to lie – I gave away most of the box contents except the hydrogel eye patches. Terrible selection.

I’m happy with this box at the $13 price point I’m getting it at as an annual subscriber….but I would instantly cancel if I paid $23 for this box.
I’m hoping 2021 will show us some better boxes. I’m inspired by a full palette next month

How did you get it at $13 per box? Black Friday deal?

So just a fyi.. when they changed the price form 15 to 23 I emailed to cancel and they offered me two more months at 15. I continued and I really loved this box but do not think it’s worth 23 compared to other boxes out here.
Maybe you can email and get a discount if you were subscribed beforehand?

Hi! They offered a deal if you were a member that if you prepaid for a year you got it at a little over $13.00 a box. You had to sign up before Oct 1st.
I hope that helps!
I agree also that if I were paying $23.00 I’d cancel but at the annual price it’s fine. I feel like its basically the same as it was before the price change.
Hope everyone is safe and healthy!

I got my November box today.
I take back some of what I said about the eyeshadow, It is very sparkly, so yay if you like that.
I swatched it on my hand and was underwhelmed. I wiped off what I could with a tissue and what was left was quite pretty. This’ll be one of those ones to use when you have time to fiddle with it.

I’m really liking the eyeshadow! I’m using it as an eyeliner and absolutely love the look. This is an awesome box and I ordered a second…

Still no spoilers for December? That’s a little surprising! Should we be worried?

Oops. I thought I had canceled my sub through Amazon, but it looks like I did not. I will use everything in the box, but I can’t say I am overly excited about it at the new price point.

My email says the price increase will happen in December. So, why are we getting charged the $23 for the November box? And yes for me I have the August and September box. Got charged for October – still haven’t received it. And now the upcharge for November. Am I missing something? I have also tries to unsub through Allure and with Amazon! who they are billing me through. No luck so far. Any advice for ex-Allures?

I cancelled my subscription through amazon ages ago, then re-signed up through allure’s website and cancelled again when the price spiked. Each time I called on the phone and it was like less than 5 minutes per phone call to get everything handled. Definitely recommend calling them.

They sent a subsequent email stating the December email was sent out in error. So, the new price started on Oct 1 like they said originally.

But they do, because of the error, offer the discounted yearly subscription price until December now. So if you tried to do month-to-month starting October yeah higher price, but if you want the annual rate you can still get it.

This box is better, thought I did love the Sigma lip product from last month. If you order off Sigma’s website, they ship FedEx and mine got to me way sooner than I expected, bu that might be because they’re on Minnesota and I’m in Michigan.
I’m not a fan of the packaging for the Acure product. I had something similar for a Biolage conditioner, and it’s a PAIN to use. I understand the need for more environmentally friendly packaging, but could they look at something other than their kid’s juice pack??

This box is better for me than the October box. I just subscribed through Amazon, so I can skip a month with a click of a button when I want, which may be often. But I like getting serums, which tend to be expensive and not very large, so I go through them more quickly than other products. I get a full size $42 serum for $23, and everything else is just gravy. Deal!

Actually terrible. I’m skipping a lot of boxes lately but I suppose I’m saving money! Oh well their loss.

I like box. I like there’s one makeup item and I always love getting full size quality serums I wouldn’t pay for myself. I’ve heard not so great things about Manna Kadar products though.

Wish they didn’t choose such a dark color for a liquid eyeshadow, it just seems like something that will be unflattering on the majority of people and such a hard color to work with. Maybe they’ll do a tutorial and I’ll be surprised.

It’s actually quite pretty and not dark at all! So nice I ordered a second box 😁

Cat
I heard it was lighter than how it shows here? Hopefully.

In the initial showing, it was pitched as a rose-gold, which sounded really pretty.
This looks more like a dark bronze, which is really hard to pull off if you’re pale.

I get this for the skincare so I’m happy to have full sized that you can actually use long enough to see if you get results or if it reacts badly. A lot of stores aren’t taking returns right now so I would hate to pay the price on some of these only to have it be a dud. And I have been loving the vitiman c powder from last month. I would like some makeup thrown in also but the colors are hit or miss since we all have different skin tones and likes, so that’s really such a hard thing to include in a box that will be useful for everyone. I’ve read good things about the Dominique brand and I think adding a brand from a poc is a nice way for others to try something they may not have bought otherwise. With my olive italian skin tone, I have used many of these like black opal etc.. because the colors are brighter and show up great on me. But may be too dark for fair skinned people that don’t need or want them. My daughter got her father’s complexion and is so pale she doesn’t look like my side at all lol so I can only share makeup with my other daughter that favors my side of the family. Even nudes are hard for everyone. But I locked in the low price for the year so it’s all good for me. I hope the upcoming boxes will make people happier than these first couple.

Calling a lip mask full-size is a cop-out. Allure should do better for the price increase.

Is the annual none refundable. I could have sworn it said I could cancel and would be prorated a refund. I see many skips in the future for me if this continues. I am dumbfounded on how this box now cost more but its contents are worse. I was briefly excited when I saw amore pacific but then realized it was a new member gift.

I couldn’t agree more! I feel swindled. This box so far has been no better than it was before. I paid the full year in advance also and no I wish I would have waited a couple months. I’m aggravated because they kept saying you must renew by Ovt 31st so I did it as to not miss out.
Then I saw that they gave existing subscribers 2 months to see if they liked the new box to still get the better annual rate. I got that stupid “17 products” gift for signing up for a year and new subscribers are getting Amore Pacific? What in the world. Allure uses to be my favorite. Such a disappointment!

I was a subscriber almost from the beginning and come October I cancelled and was heartbroken because I loved them and I didn’t even look at spoilers and would be surprised and it made it fun. Now with the price increase I just wasn’t feeling it and October and November aren’t very me so I’m happy with my decision. I can always subscribe again but they need to give people that go through Amazon the deals too. I pray Macy beauty box doesn’t go up because they have taking Allure place. So Ditto ladies!

A liquid eyeshadow is makeup, not skincare.

It’s extremely skincare heavy hence the lack of variety comment.

I agree. My mind is blown. How can they charge the same as boxycharm and ipsy plus?! And only like two full size items. Then on top of that they cop out with like a lip gloss or nail polish as counting as one of those full size products. I prepaid for a year in April but once it’s done it’s done. This is just crazy now. They HAVE to know how messed up this really is….right??
