Desperately Seeking Bookworm

After last month's box I had higher hopes for September's Allure. Unfortunately when spoilers came out I was #notimpressed. There is so much repetition in subscription boxes and I would like to see that change. That might be my fault though since I subscribe to 2 currently and some have repeat products. I appreciate getting new brands and Allure doesn't really send out new brands. Let's just say if I get another Pur-lisse item in my box next month I won't be surprised. Would it kill you to send something else out Allure?? Pur- lisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Cleansing Milk (Full-size $38): Please Allure, no more of this! This is my fourth Blue Lotus line item in the 4 months I've been subscribed to this box. While I'm happy to be able to get to try something that is on the more expensive side/something I don't have immediate access too, but I'm over it. I've used cleansing milks/balms in the past, so I know the drill. These are good to remove mak...

I feel like my Allure box got here really quickly this month. Although they ship out in the first week of the month, this has been my first experience with that. I was terribly excited when the spoilers got released because there was one item I was dying to try and the rest was just great extras. Unfortunately they came out later and said that the one item I wanted wasn't going to be in every box, but some people would be getting it. I wasn't one of those people, naturally. We did get extra products though, so I guess that is a win? Probably not, but I guess you can judge that along with me. Freeze 24-7 Anti-Aging Eye Serum (Full-size $115): Holy bejeezus this is expensive. I'm not sure why I keep getting unbelievably expensive items in my boxes, but it seems to be a theme. If this stuff performs miracles for my ever aging under eyes I would consider buying it, but I still probably wouldn't. I won't be trying this for awhile anyways since I have too many eye cr...

Yes, yes I know another box. I'm sorry I can't help myself. I like mini things and I like to have a lot of them. I am a beauty hoarder. Until there is meetings for it I will not admit my addiction publicly, just on here. Back to the box, Allure is a newly branded beauty box (formally Sample Society) that has been around for quite sometime. Before they got a makeover mid-2015 Allure was known for being a more expensive option ($15 a month) and sending out really really tiny samples from the same collection of brands. As an avid stalker of MySubscriptionAddiciton.com I can tell you that they have gotten a lot better.  So when a round of spoilers came out in April for the May box I had to have it! Apparently I wasn't the only one with that idea because they oversold that box. I was then told (after I contacted customer service twice) that I was to be getting the June box instead. I'm not going to lie the initial spoilers for this month did not wow me and I was regret...
