Subscription Boxes

My April Allure Beauty Box Reveal

May 1, 2020

Affiliate Links

I’m a sucker for a beauty subscription box. I love the mystery of each package arriving in the mail each month. As you know, sometimes these boxes are amazing and other times they seem like a fail. My April Allure beauty box recently arrived. This is my third box from them since I started my monthly subscription. I was pretty impressed with the first two boxes. You can see the contents here and here. Let’s see how this month’s box stood up to the previous ones…

The April Allure Beauty Box

There were 7 items in this month’s Allure Beauty Box. The cost of the box is $15 per month (less if you sign up for more months and pay in advance). When you get your first month’s box, they also include some extra beauty treats, which is really nice too.

Skincare

The following skincare items were in this month’s box:

  • Dr Jart Cicapair
  • Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Sheet Mask
  • Akar Balance Toner
  • Lue’ by Jean Seo Hydrating and Calming Serum

All of the skincare products are pretty much deluxe sample size. This is a nice way to try out different products. I haven’t used any of these yet so I can’t report on their effectiveness.

Makeup

There was just one makeup product in this month’s box and it’s the Thrive Causmetics Lip Filler Lip Liner in Valisia (full size). It’s a bright pink color that’s really pretty. I like to mostly use lip liners to fill in my entire lip for more of a lip stain look. This product is also supposed to help plump, however I didn’t notice any plumping. MRSP $20

Fragrance

There’s a nice mini size of the popular Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. It’s a pretty floral fragrance for everyday wear that I’m sure you’ve heard of.

Haircare

I enjoy trying new hair products and the Eva NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer didn’t disappoint. I use it as a thermal heat protection spray to seal my hair and make it shiny.

Verdict:

In my opinion, this box was worth the money that I paid for it. With that being said, I wasn’t overly impressed or wowed like I was the last two months. That’s the way most beauty subscription boxes work though. You can check out the Allure site for yourself. I think this would made a fantastic gift for mom’s, grads and friends who love beauty and skincare products.

    I had a subscription to the Allure box for a while and while the first was awesome I was disappointed with the following boxes so I canceled. My fav box is still Boxycharm.

      I totally understand that. I liked my first 2 boxes a lot. This one was just okay. I think someone who doesn’t hoard skincare the way that we do would really like these products to try out. I get Boxy Charm too and love almost every month. I’m going to see what you got in yours this month. Stacie xo

My home cooking skills are limited, but I nail thi My home cooking skills are limited, but I nail this smoothie every time!�

The star of the show is really the peanut butter plant based protein powder. It’s gut-friendly, made from just 6 clean organic ingredients and NO artificial sweeteners.�

No sponsorship here, just spreading the love to fellow vegetarians and protein fans. 

Have you tried it?��

I make mine with 8 ounces unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop of protein powder and I like to add a handful of frozen dark sweet cherries. I usually have a smoothie in the morning or afternoon.

It comes in about a dozen different flavor options, including an unflavored option too. Let me know if you want a list of places to purchase.�

Once I start talking about something that I’m pa Once I start talking about something that I’m passionate and excited about, I just don’t stop. That’s why I decided to post some long-form videos on YouTube (where I started my journey back in 2010).

I love makeup, skincare and anything beauty. I also love clothes, jewelry, handbags and accessories. That’s what I mostly share over there. 

I hope you’ll join me over there with your morning coffee. I plan to post once a week (on Fridays) for now. 

Let me know if you want the LINK to this week’s video (also link in my profile). I’m pretty proud of it, if I do say so myself.😉

For this week’s video, I shared what I packed in my vacation makeup bag (I kept it extra light) and also few outfits that I wore (most items are on sale).

July favorites photo dump… These are some of t July favorites photo dump… 

These are some of the clothing and accessories that I loved wearing and sharing with you throughout the month of July. And apparently, all of you loved them too!💖💖

These are some of my favorites and bestsellers for women over 50, 60 and beyond. I always say to wear what makes you happy and not what society dictates.  Because if you love what you’re wearing then you’ll feel your best, boost your confidence and achieve your goals.

Age is just a number! Who’s with me?😎

Let me know if you want LINKS to any of these outfits with sizing details.💖

I’m all about affordable fashion (most of the time😉) and shopping the best sales and deals. If that sounds like you too, then give me a follow for lots more.🥰
