Allure Summer Beauty Box Review

Allure, one of the leading beauty magazines, puts out a “beauty box” every season of skin, hair, and makeup essentials to get you through the season. The Summer beauty box came out late last month. I heard that they sell out pretty fast, so as soon as it got released, I ordered. Basically, for $39.99 you get $250 worth of 24 FULL SIZE products. Yup.. Full size. I’d rather splurge and spend $40 on a bunch of stuff now, rather than spend $10/month on samples from one of those monthly delivery services. What’s even better is that $5 of each beauty box purchase goes towards the Skin Cancer Foundation. HOW CAN YOU SAY NO TO THAT?!

My box came today, so I thought I’d do a quick review:

Overall, I’m very pleased with everything. I like how they gave a variety of products for different hair colors and types. Though I have no idea what I will do with two full-size bottle of dry shampoo and several facial cleansers, it’s always nice to have extra!!

I highly recommend this beauty box for product lovers everywhere! My $40 went a long way and I get to discover some cool new products as well as stockup on essentials. I believe that this Beauty Box is sold-out but be on the lookout for the next one! I recommend that you buy it and split it with a friend, your mom, or your sister because it’s A LOT of product for just one person.

Though Allure hasn’t said anything about any new Beauty Boxes yet, “Like” them on Facebook and “Follow” them on Twitter so you can get details on the release date/time. This one sold out in less than an hour I believe so make sure you set an alarm!
