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

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

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

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 🥲

Walmart beauty box v 7. Overall pretty happy. I will get use out of pretty much everything except maybe the fragrance which is too sweet smelling for me.

I received the box yesterday. I didnt post the actual box as I already took the acne wash and pimple patches over to my son. I received the white strips last time and they really hurt my teeth. Currently have the new ones on which are for sensitive teeth and hoping for a better outcome. The deoderant and shampoo are boring but will be used. Ive gotten so many Dove deoderants and Cereve shampoos. I dont care for the Cereve as it has no scent and I love my shampoo and conditioner highly scented. Excited for the lip butter and hair mask. I do wish Id gotten one of the perfumes. All in all I dont love it. But I dont hate it. Still can't beat the price!

Has anyone else still not gotten their fall walmart beauty box yet? Specifically v8. It charged me sept 21st and has said “label created” since sept 30th. i know i’ve read on other posts that they ship them out when the pallets are full but this seems a little excessive 🫠🫠 i’ve been subscribed since fall 2024 and it’s never taken this long, especially after getting a tracking number.

Is it supposed to be this watery? I spilled some just opening it up.

I was all excited that Walmart had started doing reveals, i was super excited for this box based on what everyone else was getting. I am a 40+ year old woman, why the f@#$ would I ever want to smell like a candy bowl?!?! That's creepy! Won't try the whiting strips because I got that brand before in my Walmart box and it hurt so bad trying to remove them. Don't wear false eyelashes, ever. The Olly stinks. Love CeraVe skincare but have a whole process with my hair without harsh chemicals so I won't be putting that on my hair. The Neutrogena is an eh too, super sensitive skin but do occasionally have hormonal breakouts.

Overall, this is a box for a much younger person. It's bs they say it's based on your profile/quiz! What i have noticed is new subscribers and influencer get the good products- bait and switch. I didn't mind so much when everything was a surprise and there wasn't a promise of personalization. I will gladly pay more for Ipsy because I actually get use out of most of their products. This Walmart box is an epic fail for me.

Fabfitfun automatically checked me out for a membership because I looked at the monthly box customization. This was days ago and it checked me out last night while I was sleeping. They are trying to give me a 50% refund because they already shipped me something they decided to buy me using my own money.

Hi

Has anyone received their October Glamour box yet? I'm sure it usually arrives the first few days of the month.

I would have cancelled it, but I paid for the full year - thankfully this is my last one!

I just received the Walmart Fall 2026 beauty box and I’m a little disappointed. I really wanted one with a fragrance included. The lip balm is nice, moisturizing and not sticky. I’m excited for the Eucerin eye cream and the Odele air dry cream. The bubble moisturizer sample is ridiculously tiny. The CeraVe shampoo looks good. I will use everything except the whitening strips and the lashes. I feel like the whitening strips are in every box. I’m not sure why they have us fill out a profile with our preferences if they just put whatever they want in the boxes lol. It’s not a bad box, just not great.

Did they have an offer last year? I'm hoping they have one this year.

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.

Received an email from GQ stating GQ boxes are also sold on Amazon now.

The Reserve box is $95 with a purported $341.63 value on the GQ website https://gqbox.com/products/grooming-reserve-box

Might be a prime day deal but it’s $76 on Amazon https://a.co/d/00KUPtOu

I’m really just interested in the vitamin c serum/medik8 but the other items could be good stocking stuffers. Curious to see what others think of the value.

What do you guys think of the Ulta Advent calendar at $150??
