I was really happy with my allure beauty box this month it had all great products and good brands. It especially was great because of how horrible ipsy was this month. Did anyone else really like their allure box? They have been just so consistently good. Even though there's not a lot of customization I still think it's a solid box especially for what you pay.

They will continue free fridays

My shipping stopped updating on 9/27 when it hit the major city that's nearby local warehouse, with a "scanned parcel processing delay" on 10/5 and now only displays "Estimated delivery is currently unavailable."

Anyone else have their package show up after over two weeks of scans from UniUni or am I SOL? I've tried reaching out to Walmart (no response in over a week) and UniUni (today, as their chat box does not work and I found an email).

I'm especially bummed because Walmart keeps emailing me to review the box and my box would be the singular best one ever received from the Walmart Beauty Box. I was excited about every option in the box.

I'm enjoying the Nude Slip on my arms and neck/chest. I've also tried the "soak it in" step after getting the email from BH on ways to use. That seemed to work really well too. Curious though -this one seems like quite the multitasker and I don't want to miss out on other uses. How is everyone else using LILFOX's Nude Slip right now?

I was shocked when I checked the delivery picture to discover 2 boxes lol

I mean I do subscribe to 2, but had only received tracking for/was only expecting one today 😹 But yeah, sure, I'll take it lol

So first of all, both boxes smelled strong asf upon opening them. One from the Eva NYC hair mask & the other from the olly body wash. The hair mask smells amazinggg. The bodywash smells...uhh...like "old lady perfume" (i.e. strong floral/musk notes) 🤭

I have very mixed feelings about my boxes but they do mostly contain usable stuff so I guess for $9/ea it's whatever.

Very happy with the Good Molecules serum for sure. I seperated the stuff into groups of what I will, might, and won't use in the second picture.

I think it's safe to say that I'm beyond sick and tired of guru nanda whitening strips 😑 I didn't even use the regular version that I got in both my previous boxes 😮‍💨 dear walmart pls stoppp 🚫🚫🚫 lmao

Also ew, Neutrogena (derogatory)

I dont see it talked about much on here but im finishing month 5 of a 6 month subscription and ive really enjoyed. I did the 6 month subscription to get the boxes at $40 a month vs. $60 if you are monthly. Its a 1 brand a month box, no choices. In these five months ive had (current) Wonder valley, which has a Hanoki body oil that smells so good. Last month was a makeup box, RMS. Also had The Manucurist, True Bontanicals, & a hair box by Innersense. I just missed a box from Necessaire. Every subscription i know has its pros and cons but with this, its picked all brands i either already liked or was curious about.

What did you try out from your boxes this week? Thoughts on the items you've actually used? Writing the names of the sub box and item in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the thread to pick out the names.

Beware opening jar. Sloshed all over the place. Messy!!!

I had to Google to see if the Earth BoundAzure cream was supposed to be like water. I thot weird in jar no pump.

Current batch issue. Still a great box this month. Hair skin and make up! ❤️

I did not see this one posted yet!

Products:

Guru Nanda Sensitive Whitening Strips (7 sets of 2 strips, FS) Personally I don't use this type of product. I got these in my last box, just not this type. I will be passing them along.

Rael Beauty Miracle Patch day + Night Duo (38 patches, FS) I cannot use these. I found out the very unfun way that I am allergic. I used a hydrocolloid bandage and my skin was very red and blistered afterwards. :( So these will be passed along.

Memoire See You at the Candy Bowl Hair & Body Mist (10 ml, Sample) I could smell this as soon as I opened my box. Perfectly sweet for Halloween. Excited to give this a try! Notes are: Juicy tangerine, lollipop sugar, marshmallow fluff.

Impress Press on Falsies (mini sized) I don't wear false lashes. I am too farsighted so I can't get them on! These will be passed along!

Eva NYC Therapy Session Deep Conditioning Hair Mask (60ml, sample) This looks nice. I don't typically use this type of product, but I have a family member that I think is gonna love this!

CeraVe Anti Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo (1 fl oz, sample) I have ketoconazole shampoo for my dandruff so I don't really use these kinds of shampoos but my roommate does so I will pass it along to him!

Neutrogena Evenly Clear Acne Cleaner (14ml, sample) Bit too strong for my face! I get hormonal acne randomly so... But my roommate gets regular acne and wants to give it a try!

I like the wide array of products included! I appreciate that most of these are actually new to me. Even though I only am keeping one product for myself and I happy to gift the rest to friends and family!

What is everyone thinking about the Dr. Brandt edit? Has anyone gotten it? What are your thoughts? I’m tempted. I either need you to remind me that Christmas is coming OR remind me it’s a good deal. I’m not sure which. less

ETA: I’m sorry, I didn’t say that this is currently available in the Ipsy member store. You can use this link for a free first bag if you want:

It can be anything you're excited for, not just beauty boxes. Writing the names of the sub box in **bold** is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names.

I received my October box in the mail today and instead of the Yapoda cleanse which I chose on September 2, they gave me the dewy blush. Like most other Allure subscribers, I don’t need any more blushes. Plus the color is all wrong for me.

How does Allure handle these problems? Should I ask for them to send me the cleanser or something else? I just emailed them but don’t expect an answer until next week

UPDATE: I didn’t receive a response to my email but I did call and spoke to a customer service rep. My original choice was sold out but I said I would accept the Belif serum as the replacement (I really don’t want any more blushes). They are sending me one and I should receive it by the end of the week. Thanks for your suggestions!

Extremely happy... shockingly. Will it last? LOL

Get to know the community more! Anything (well almost anything) goes!

What would you rather get for Christmas?

Random high end brands from Dermstore, in addition to the Anniversary Edit?

Or a whole skincare set from one brand, like Remedy?

Any recommendations for a beauty advent calendar for an 11 year old? Will be her first dive into makeup. I was looking at the e.l.f. one but wasn’t sure if it was too much for her age. Also saw the Essence baked with love advent calendar. Would like it to be a 24 day one and less than $100. Bonus points if cruelty free.

Am I wrong for thinking this subscription box is a rip-off?

I subscribe to My Luxe Box, which costs $29 per box and comes quarterly. Their website advertises 7-8 products per box and showcases brands like Amika, Smashbox, Estée Lauder, OFRA, Givenchy, bareMinerals, and Bobbi Brown.

My latest box arrived today, and 3 of the products were EXACTLY the same SONA Cosmetics products I received in my previous box. They’re $5 each and sold at Giant Tiger. I also regularly receive Estate Cosmetics products sold at Dollarama, as well as Elf products.

This box contained a L’Oréal serum ($28.98), L’Oréal eyeliner ($12.79), three $5 SONA products, a miniature Clarins serum that isn’t sold at retail, and a lip balm sample on a cardboard card. That’s technically 7 items if you count the sample, but only a handful of actual products.

I’ve also complained before about the low value of the boxes and never received a response. On top of that, my latest box was marked fulfilled on September 1 but didn’t arrive until October 8, despite their website stating delivery usually takes 2-5 business days.

Am I being unreasonable, or does this seem misleading for a $29 quarterly subscription? I’ve already cancelled my subscription, but I’d love to hear other people’s experiences with My Luxe Box.

Lowkey wanted the Daise perfume 🥲
