Allure Beauty Box Review + Coupon – March 2021

Hmmm my box has different items in the booklet and box. The 111 serum, cleanser, and eyeko are the same. I also received Rodial mascara, Brazilian bum bum cream, Clarins eye cream, and and a lipgloss. Has anyone received a different box??

Has anyone else had a problem with literally opening the bottle of 111. Stopper will not come off/out.

I got the same box and the mudmasky eye stuff is my only disappointment in the box. Yay!

When corporations put out statements they are carefully worded and sometimes you can tell a lot about what is not said.

111Skin did not say that the products were identical regardless of place of manufacture. They said the “key active ingredients” and “components” were the same. But in the same percentages? How about the inactive ingredients?

The “raw materials” are from the same source, but are they processed the same, ending up in an identical finished ingredient? Who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe the products are identical. I have no idea. But it wasn’t worded that way. IJS.

This was probably my least favorite box in the last 12 months. The eyeshadow transferred under my eye badly and the scent of the hand cream made it unusable for me. I am still on my last container of vitamin C from Allure 2020 and I clearly don’t use enough vitamin C 😂 The lip balm is pretty and I’ve been using it throughout the day.

Allure has allowed me to find some of my favorite products over the years and I’m realizing I should just “splurge” on those at this point in my life.

I’m ridiculously excited to receive a sharpener! The lippie is a good color for me, I’m excited to try the eye mask, and can always use C and another hand cream for my purse

I got the same box and really liked it! Love the Pixi, it’s a brand I have a soft spot for too. The eye mask is a unique idea, I haven’t tried it yet though. Any tips on applying eyeshadow sticks? I feel like I have a hard time blending them, but I love how easy I feel they *could* be

After all the negativity in the lead up to this box it ended up being a pleasant surprise. Allure never really disappoints; each item is often useful. That pixi lipstick ended up being quite nice. I thought it would be a bright red and I would never wear, but I really love the pink. The eyestick was just ok. Unfortunately the darker color smudged everywhere, but I can wear the lighter one as an all over color. The only disappointment was that I got the Nuria eye cream which was a repeat for me. Allure is usually so good about not sending repeats – this is the first time! I was fully expecting to get that eye mask and it’s a but of a letdown not to, but I will use that eye cream. I like the Ahava hand cream but I can see how the scent can be off putting to a lot of people. This just shows that I need to avoid the comments when they get too negative. I made the decision not to skip and to just ride out the yearly subscription before reevaluating, and honestly each box has been fine. I’m excited about the April box, too.

I got the same box although mine did not have a booklet in it. Granted, if I am not writing a review for a box, I don’t generally bother to even read the booklet so I guess that is one less paper product to throw out.

I received the same variation and I really liked this box. It’s rare to like every item in a sub box but I liked, and will use up, every item in this box. I like the shimmer eyeko as a liner on my upper lashes and use the darker shade on my lower lashes.

I received The Clean Skin Club’s Vitamin C booster in a Boxy Charm box last year and I really like it. It’s been a year and I still haven’t used it all up. I’m going to switch to the 111Skin to see if I like it better.

I’m glad I kept the box, but a lot of it didn’t work for me.
111Skin is too drying, I’m giving it to a friend who’s really happy about it though.
Eyeko pencil seemed great, but it smudges very easily after a few hours of wear.
The Pixi lip color is not what I expected once you put it on. I thought it was a faint fuchsia, not a frosty pink.
The Ahava hand cream is not good for me, greasy and drying, but I already knew that. Would have loved the Bum Bum cream.
The Nuria eye cream saves the whole box though. For $13.75 it’s great to get a good eye cream I wouldn’t have otherwise tried and have a gift for my bestie. At full price, this would have been a sad box for me

I’m not sure how you do it, Megan, but even the meh boxes you turn into something pretty great. I’m a little jealous you can pull off practically any lip color. If it doesn’t have enough “punch” I feel like most lipsticks just wash me out. I love dark lipstick to the chagrin of many lol.

Love your reviews, pictures, and honesty 💕

I used the Eyeoko pencil when I went to dinner last week. I was surprised at how nice it was and that the lighter shade had shimmer. It looked good, but I am still not a fan of bronze on me. Ulta carries the whole line, so I will probably buy in another color.

The Pixi color doesn’t work for me. Ice pinks like that just look phony. I may occasionally use it as a balm, but that’s about the extent of it.

Agree on the cleanser. It is nice. I haven’t used the other two yet. I’m still iffy on Vitamin C stuff for me, although the Nue worked well when I mixed it with some First Aid Beauty.

I skipped this box, but after reading the review, I think I would have liked it. I’m glad to have the assurance from 111Skin that the products are the same regardless of manufacturer locale. Thank you, Megan, for posting that information.

I was actually really surprised by the face wash. It’s lovely! It took off all of my makeup, and didn’t make my face feel tight after rinsing.

Thank you for the honest review! Completely agree on all fronts, your reviews are pretty much the only ones I regard.

I loved this box. I’m using the Ahava because it feels great, but the scent is overwhelming. I’d wish they’d back off on the fragrance by at least half. Hand cream shouldn’t be competing with your perfume or cologne.

I was happy to see Megan wearing the Pixi, as I was sure it was way too bright for my taste. I was initially going to gift it, but I think I’ll actually use it!
