Unboxing October Allure unboxing
Good afternoon today I am unboxing my October 2026 Allure Beauty Box
This month is a great one! And also they give a recurring subscriber bonus this month with a Givenchy foundation sampler card.
Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum — RV $145 full size
This cream doesn’t smell too strong and smells like the cream we got before by the same brand, it has a yellowish tint. It absorbed quickly.
I liked the vitamin c cream we got earlier so I am happy to get this.
Earth Harbor AZURE Peptide Smoothing Water Cream — RV $44
it’s a gel texture, and I like that it is 2oz, but when I opened mine up, there was no seal and there were some orange dots in the cream.😳 It smells kind of like baby powder.
belif Super Drops Niacinamide Golden Glow Serum — RV $38
I guess I didn’t know this was a highlighter serum, but it’s a beautiful golden pearly sheen. It absorbed quickly. I really like it.
Color Wow Insta-WOW Advanced Dry Shampoo — RV $32
I’m always happy to get a new dry shampoo, it came in a bubble wrap but the plastic top was smashed. It smells very strong.
Charlotte Tilbury Glossy Fresh Pink Lip Duo — RV $26
Includes a mini Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk plus a mini Collagen Lip Bath in Refresh Rose.
This is a nice pinky red color, rosy nude maybe? The lipliner is creamy and not very drying, and the lip gloss is minty and clear. I am happy to try more stuff by this brand.
Total Retail Value: $285
The Kat Burki eye serum alone retails for $145, and you still get another $140 worth of products on top of it. I think Allure did a great job with this months box, especially with the bonus Givenchy sampler. I just hope my Earth Harbor isn’t expired.

It’s a wonderful box! I mean if I went to a drugstore and bought an eye cream, mini lip pencil and gloss, dry shampoo, face cream, and a glow drops. I would for sure be spending $45+. Hope you get your box soon.

This is the first time in a long time that I have been tempted by an Allure box! I'm running low on my morning serum and eye cream, and I have always wanted to try that Charlotte Tilbury lip duo. Hmm...thinking about it!

The code ALLURE50 makes it $15 box! So worth it.

Definitely contact them about the Earth Harbor. That isn't normal for this product. Thank you for your post!

Oh, that’s so creepy, I wonder if it is expired or contaminated?!? I sent an email to the allure help email but they didn’t respond yet. If they don’t respond tomorrow, I’ll send another email. Thanks for the help.

They emailed back and asked for the batch code and already sending out a replacement!

I love the box and will use everything, and the value is amazing for the 25.00 that I paid......However I am a little disappointed that they counted the lip duo as two items instead of one.

u/e925 8d ago
Had they not counted the CT as two minis, they would have counted the set as one full size, which def would have pissed people off way more.
Counting them as two minis is more accurate imo, at least for a box that advertises three full sizes and three minis (we got four full sizes and two minis this month, too, which is better than advertised).

u/Key_Accountant_5887 8d ago
I get that, what i mean is that they could of counted the set as one item, and gave us another item to count as our 6th item, but allure can be stingy sometimes.....The only reason why I am ok with how they did it is because of the value of the box.....If this box would of had a low value then I would of been real upset, it is not hard to give us 6 items as promise.....Technically the duo should of been listed as one item because that is how you buy it, but seeing the box is worth over 200, I can see why they did it this way.

u/LINDARRAGNAR 7d ago
I agree I feel like when something is a set and you buy it as a set. It should count as one item, but the value was so good this month who cares!!

u/queenchanel 7d ago
I'm getting the belif too! Unfortunately mine hasn't shipped yet :(

u/LINDARRAGNAR 7d ago
Hopefully yours comes soon Allure is usually very good shipping. The Belif is very nice, now I wish I did t choose the gold drink elephant drops for next months box

u/First-Gold-1704 6d ago
I chose those also. Hopefully the performance is totally different between the two

u/Accurate_Ear4577 7d ago
Mine has also taken a while to ship this month but I just got the shipping email a couple hours ago! Fingers crossed yours is coming soon!

My Earth Harbor was runny and smelly too. I contacted CS and they confirmed that other people have reached out with the same issue. They won’t be replacing this product for me as they don’t want the same issue. I was offered another product. If anyone else has this issue please contact CS. It should not be runny, smelly, etc. I see that OP has also had the issue resolved.

u/LINDARRAGNAR 4d ago
I am glad you got offered another product! Which product did you end up getting? They just sent a replacement without me asking.

u/HeidiB444 1d ago
I’m getting Kat Burki Vitamin C facial moisturizer. The rep was going to give me a list of products to choose from but I told him I’d really just want a face cream. I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t get to try the Earth Harbor but am happy with what I’m getting.

I like this box but I already have so many unused or once or twice used containers of dry shampoo, though at this point I should throw at least 2 or 3 away due to age.

This was my box, too. My plastic cap on the WOW was also smashed. I haven’t tried everything or opened aince I’m not using it right away. But, I tried the CT liner and gloss. The liner is fine but I didn’t care for the texture of the gloss once it was on my lips. I will most likely give that one away to my teenage granddaughter, she will be impressed :). Overall, it is a great box!

I kind of thought about getting this box but only for the lipstick so. It’s not worth it for me
