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

The yellow and white striped dress seemed to be ev The yellow and white striped dress seemed to be everyone’s favorite from my reel the other day. I think it’s because of the pop of color. It’s a nice light seersucker fabric and can be dressed up or down. AD

My personal favorite is the chambray blue tiered dress. Are you surprised? 

All of these outfits are perfect for everyday life during the summer months. I’d wear them for work, errands, appointments, lunches, dates, shopping and more.

They’re all budget friendly! Comment for the LINKS. ⬅️

That’s what Wantable is all about. This was my recent box of Spring Bestsellers that I finally had a chance to try on. It’s always fun to mix and match to make a few outfits.

No subscription required. Use my link to order your first box and get $25 off. You just may love it and will want to order more boxes in the future. I’m addicted!

They have some really fun themes to choose from right now, including one for men (fun for Father’s Day). My next box is called The Coastal Edit.🦞
