I received my 2nd Allure Beauty Box a few days ago and here is what was inside!
I opened the box and the first product I noticed was from First Aid Beauty: a sample size of their Facial Radiance Pads ($30 for 60 pads). These pads are paraben- and phthalate-free and gently exfoliate, tone and brighten your skin. The wipes remind me of those acne pads that we all used in high school. Yeah, you remember those, they would sting your face and leave your skin red and sensitive. I will try them out and let you know if they hold up to their claim of being gentle for sensitive skin. As for the smell, once I open the package the scent was so soft that I had to smell three times in order to notice other even was one.
The next product I noticed was the Cargo Colorstick in Champaign ($28). This is a highlighter stick that has a creamy formula with a natural look. Although I am in love with my Laura Mercier highlighter I have been using the stick since I got it and I really enjoy how it gives a natural luminous look.
One product I am still on the fence about is the GrandeLips Hydrating lip plumper ($27). This is a volumizing lipgloss which creates an appearance a fuller lips. I'm not really sure about this product because I do have fuller lips naturally so I'm not sure I would ever want to make them appear any larger than they are. I could see this product being of benefit to anyone who doesn't have naturally plumper lips.
When I saw the name Beautycounter on a stunning Navy blue box I got a little excited. I've heard of the brand and always wanted to try a product of theirs but have never gotten around to it. So luckily in this Allure Beauty Bbox I was able to get a full size other their lengthening mascara ($29). I tore into the box wanting to check out the product. I was a little skeptical about the wand on this mascara because it is thinner and smaller than most wands you will see on any other brand currently. While this may have been a slight issue to begin with I've actually thoroughly enjoyed the natural look that this gives to my eyelashes. The wand separates my lashes, and makes them look longer with out the clumping that can happen with a lot of other mascaras. I have been trying this product out for a while and I truly enjoy it on days that I wish to have a very natural look.
This next product stood out to me as a little odd in a beauty box. This is the Red Flower Moroccan Rose Candle ($38). Although not normally found in beauty boxes I'm very happy to get a candle to try. I smelled the candle and fell love with a soft hint of roses. While I do quite enjoy the smell of this candle, I would want to see what size the full-size candle is and if it is worth $38. The candle is currently sitting on my desk and can be seen in a couple of my upcoming YouTube videos.
The final product in this months Allure Beauty Box is the Olay Eyes Pro-Retinol Eye Treatment ($24.99). While I am not normally into eye creams and treatments, I will try this one to see if it really does decrease the appearance of the lines and wrinkles around the eye area.
So that is what I got in my February 2017 Allure Beauty Box. I hope you guys enjoy this post and let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these products before.
