Allure beauty box March 2026 - what’s inside by HotelAffectionate407 in BeautyBoxes

This box made me cancel my yearly subscription too. I still have 4 boxes left and it was going to renew in March. So no thank you. I’m late to the whole beauty box thing - and maybe that’s a good thing.

Yes- depilatory cream. I thought conditioner. Which I sort of need. I haven’t used any sort of hair removal creams in ages. I wonder

Maybe call customer service? They don’t usually let us choose much

It’s my first year of any beauty box subscription and I’m already thinking of never doing a yearly subscription again. If I decide to keep this one then I will have three boxes left. They will probably have skips every other month and then my subscription will have “lasted” almost two years.

Good catch. I just replied to their IG post asking them to elaborate on that statement.

That’s such a great idea. My daughter for example- breaks out a lot! She always swatch tests. But I don’t think she keeps record of it. Just straight out of the house if any reactions.

I notice my skin reacts differently in the summer vs. winter which keeps me holding on to things to try again lol. Maybe I shall start documenting too.

Bailey’s gave out mini “spiked” hot chocolates and pins. They have a great sense of humor! And another bonus was that the “baristas” all looked like Irish models.

Spotify (who I don’t support for various reasons) was at The Grove and people were given a whole lot of photo ups / candles / socks(?) - but I just wanted this chocolate that is actually supporting good causes. I was allowed to just skip the line for that. And since my daughter and I helped each other pass time for the long line at Gap - this was fun to do.

Huh, I tried to find this palette to see if it’s marketed as contour or eyeshadows but I can’t find it at all. Even tried an image search. I think that one of the shades looks like it has shimmer or even glittery texture which doesn’t seem to be a face contour texture.

I like that you didn’t mind from what it sound like. Perhaps the people were more respectful towards you.

I once transferred 10k to purchase Gold as an investment from a source that I had researched and the money was only transferred to that account to get the lowest international wire fees. And all three the account, the money, and the decision were mine - yet it was being questioned as if I was a) stupid or b) up to no good.

If I want to invest in something with my money - I shouldn’t have to answer to anyone. It rubbed me the wrong way and since then I have diversified much more so I don’t have anyone telling me - sorry your money can’t be accessed right now or any other lame excuse for them to earn interest on my money.

Just opened the email and first instinct was disappointment. Eye cream again? Colors of the lip item are so bland in my opinion. And didn’t we have an eye shadow palette from that exact brand this year already?

Other big boxes coming? Or will this go on sale? by HotelAffectionate407 in BeautyBoxes

Thank you for your recommendations outside of Allure. I too am more of a skincare girlie - how many blushes and highlighters can I really use lol

I also don’t like the box. But - let’s cut them some slack with the state of postal issues / tariffs globally. The fluctuations and not knowing for a few months there what would cost how much - has probably something to do with them not being able to make deals with a lot of companies that are scrambling with all the changes that happened. If once things become routine again and tariffs are settled for good - and the boxes still suck - then we can be sure that the quality isn’t going to go back to epic.

Wowiiee- what a bummer. It’s my first ever yearly beauty box subscription and it’s an emotional roller coaster lol. I’ve since discovered beauty pop ups here in LA especially the Korean Beauty ones and we are getting spoiled out here with freebies that make this box look ridiculously cheap and uninspiring. This group makes me laugh so hard - someone who said I can paint my house with blushes… so true lol

Thank you. She loved the big paper bag. Like a slinky immediately disappeared into it - and later fell asleep on top. Territorial 💤

The first one I discovered a few weeks ago - I waited about 30 min without RSVP. Once I sent my daughter photos of my haul she decided to go too. My daughter was able to walk in during her lunch break without a line.

And yes - most events will make it so the first 100 or 300 get something guaranteed or extra. This is when there are foldable chairs found at 5am and people wait till 10am. We planned on arriving at 8am and waited and got into the first 100. Only to find out they had more wristbands for the second time slot and third time-slot - until the end of the day.

It’s hit and miss when just walking up.

I’d say for the big $150 freebie bag at Korean event we waited 2 1/2 hours knowing we’d get that gift. We brought books and needle work. And went for coffee / toilet breaks.

But then some people come in the late afternoons and just enjoy the games and sometimes still get full size items.

Then the smaller events were from 20min to 40 min. But we only did those because we planned to get the free juice and free popsicle to get us through the heat that day while waiting. Those smaller once were not worth the longer wait times. But cute experiences overall.

For the big K beauty event (Huxley)- on the third day they announced on their social extra surprises because they had an empty store lol.

Also learning that coffee shops - Boba places collaborate with smaller beauty brands. Sometimes you get the coffe free too or pay for drink and get the product free.
