Looks like the Spring box is somehow STILL for sale on the Allure Beauty Thrills website (https://subscribe.allure.com/subscribe/allure/103369?source=ALB_PrintAd), but MSA posted spoilers yesterday for the summer box, which goes on sale July 26 at noon eastern.

I always like to write down the costs so I can justify yet another box...I have to run to a lunch meeting now but I will post the costs this afternoon!


TOTAL: $287.44 (despite allure claiming it's over $350)

I think it's me but the sparkle is missing from these boxes.  Of coarse I had pre-ordered on day 1 so I will be getting this box.

 
This box seems better than the last to me, thanks to the wen and the redken.  Still nothing over $35 for that wow factor though.

Here are the products I'd buy anyway (or their equivalent in another brand):

So only $53.78, not quite the $60 to make up for the rest of the box.  But even though I don't NEED more hair stuff, I'm excited enough about the wen, redken, and rusk to make the plunge.  I'll probably even use the NYM dry texture spray fairly quickly since I've probably used up all of my better stuff like oribe.  This is the first time in forever where the hair products were exciting to me / all things I will actually use. 

I actually prefer there to be as little makeup as possible in these boxes, since it's usually drug store anyway.  Happy to see a lip product sold at Sephora instead of Target but plumpers aren't really my thing. 

Overall I think this is one of the better boxes I've seen in the past year or so.  Nothing like what it used to be, but good for the new normal.

  Me too. I wish there was a way to get a refund.  Thing is I can go to CVS with coupons and extra bucks and get the items I would like from this box and come out ahead. 

 
I got the spring box, but I think I'm going to pass on this one - there's nothing that I really want to try.

 
Did anyone go for the box?  I got one.  I was so tempted to get an extra may box for $25 but I really don't need anything else.  Restraint achievement unlocked :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I pre-ordered and was annoyed about the special since we didn't have that option. I finally called CS and after a really long wait they were able to add the $25 May box.  So far no email confirmation like they said and no pending charge on my CC - probably not worth spending another 20 minutes on the phone.   Never again with Allure pre-orders though.

 
If I do not still have most of my Allure stuff from last year, I would totally get this!

The most expensive item in this box is Wen but I do not think I would want to use it. If you've heard about the lawsuit filed again Wen's company, you may know what I am talking about.

I love toothpastes and toothbrushes! I use those in the past boxes and bring them in our trips.

I tried and used almost everything except for the GrandeLIPS because I do not have use for it.

Crossing my fingers for a better Fall box.

Anyone hear anything about this thing shipping yet? In previous years the preorder group's box should ship or show up the day the sale went live.

That was definitely the case last year but not this year or at least not with the 1st box.  No idea when this is actually scheduled to ship - I went on the order page and I couldn't find a date.

 
I wrote them a few days ago but no response yet on when these boxes are supposed to ship?  Does anyone recall shipping dates?

 
I never heard back from CS and opted to call instead. Spoke with Customer Service and they have not shipped yet since they are still waiting for an item to arrive from a vendor!!

 
My box arrived on Friday.  Hopefully they can get their act together for the final box of this year - better selection would be nice.
