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…

April Allure Beauty Box

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

Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother- Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother-in-law could see that I had my shoes on her white carpet.😅

Today will be a travel day. Heading home and feeling so grateful for everything in my life including the people and the incredible opportunities that have come my way.

Have a great weekend friends!💖

Today’s outfit is white cropped pants (longer on me at just 5’1”, but so perfect for us petite ladies who want to avoid alterations). Paired with the most flattering v-neck,  a pair of black slides and the most fabulous heart pendant necklace. Let me know if you want LINKS.

Yes to the opportunity.🙌🏻

Yes to the version of me that’s ready for more.🙌🏻

Because every flight booked is a chance to grow, explore, and step into something new. The outfit just comes along for the ride (and even better when it’s cute and takes you from travel to dinner).🙌🏻

Here’s your sign to stop waiting and start going. 

Where are you saying yes to next?

Just unboxed my Ryder hoodie from Seas and I’m kind of in love with the hot pink and the gorgeous embroidery. It’s super cozy, easy to throw on, and adds the perfect pop of color.💖

If you’ve been looking for something comfortable for cool mornings or evenings, this one’s definitely worth checking out. 

Let me know of you want DETAILS on how to get one too!

Sharing my outfit from a casual dinner with friend Sharing my outfit from a casual dinner with friends last night. Does it look familiar? I wore the same top and jeans in different colors a few videos back!😉

My cropped jeans are @oliverloganla and I love this brand because they carry petite lengths for us shorties. The brand is size inclusive and their products are made following ethical practices. They’re very affordable too!

I’m also sharing some of my new jewelry favorites and old treasures too along with a bag that I just couldn’t resist.

Please let me know if you want LINKS with the details.

Have the loveliest day and weekend ahead!💖

Skincare is one of my favorite forms of self care. Skincare is one of my favorite forms of self care.

I recently received a few skincare products from Starike, a KBeauty brand. This is the one that really stood out for me. It has a whopping 21% niacinamide and it’s still gentle on my skin.

Niacinamide can help to achieve a brighter, smoother complexion with a reduced appearance of pores. I’m excited to see what this will do for my skin over time.

🤩 You can see this pore serum and all of their products on the Skin-Seoul website or comment SHOP and I’ll send the details to your messages.
