Allure Fall 2013 Beauty Box!!!

[bluelion]

Kind of don't get why folks were waiting for an email since it's the on sale time has been posted for a while now. Was it just a reminder? I think they'd do well to ditch the email altogether since it usually sells out before all the emails get sent.

Happy Allure day, everyone!  I was on my husband's tablet so it slowed me down this time - #286, despite being one of those people constantly hitting refresh and getting it at 11:59.  I forget my total but it was $53 something.  I SO did not need this, as I haven't finished stuff from my last fall box and still haven't opened some summer stuff, but I just can't pass the Allure box up.

So what are we all buying now?  I want this:

Haha! I love the "what are we all buying now?"! Half the reason I use this site is the constant enabling from other ladies. Nice to know I'm not the only one /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And yes, I set my alarm and got the Allure box today (despite the fact that I'll likely sell half the stuff on eBay). No IT Cosmetics set for me, though. Their brow pencil is pretty awesome, but the set's a little pricey for me. And I have more lip gloss than I'll use in the remainder of my lifetime!

I refreshed twice, once at 8:58 and the image changed to the "buy now", but the link was not active, then refreshed again at 8:59 and the link worked and was able to check out before it hit 9:00am

my email was sent at 9am, i think they send emails in order, so once it gets to the hundreds there is a delay, but the early orders that come in before the system gets bogged down come right away.

I think I commented here to let everybody know they always are on sale a little before 9am, I want everybody here to have the best chance, when I first learned about these boxes I missed the first two because I was not a member of any forums, it was up to me to remember and I always forgot and kicked myself. I had seen a youtube video reviewing the summer box and tried so hard to remember, but I was in college and it was hard to remember. I finally remembered and got the summer '12 box on my own, and I think I joined MUT while looking for dates for the fall box last year!

I purchased this set last week and I love it!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Snagged one! #1054. As a night shifter , I finally fell asleep at 11am just to wake up at 11:59, and with tired eyes continually hit refresh until I saw a change...which I didn't. It took me a couple minutes to notice the "Buy Now". I'm not sure how many of these products I'm really going to use, but I jut couldn't pass up a deal to try so many things!

 

[HHummel]

Shipping yes, tax no. But I'm in Oregon. No sales tax, and as an added bonus, we are specifically prohibited from pumping our gas. It looks like we might get legalized pot and gay marriage next year, too.

I have always wanted to live in Portland, Oregon. It's been my dream since high school. So jealous!

 

[NotTheMama]

Got one!! I was 2357...I got one of these boxes a few years ago and kind of forgot about them, can't wait to try all the goodies!! Mine came to $53.11 with tax & shipping to IL.

 

[mjreynolds32]

I have never even heard of this box until just now (literally five minutes ago) but I still feel like a huge failure for not getting one!  I most likely never will since I will always be at work when they go on sale.  Oh well!  I hope you beauties that were lucky ducks enjoy them.  They look beyond amazing.  

 

[annveal]

I had a meeting that ended right when the boxes went on sale. Still managed to get one though!

 

[viper4901]

Got my box I was so happy I missed out on the summer one and I was do sick....

 

[junkiejk]

Last time I bought one, I received it in less than one week!  Let's hope for the same fast shipping this time.

 

[amy lyn]

I ordered two, one for myself and one for a friend and now she says she doesn't it because it is too expensive! Rawr!!

And the Drama begins on facebook 

Some of the posts are so ridiculous, it is funny. I missed out on the last one, but I didn't have a meltdown abt it. Did you see the one woman who said, "you never said in the e-mail to refresh the page"!? I swear, some people do not use common sense. I'm still in disbelief I was one of the first ones- I was not expecting to get it at all. I probably would have been even closer to one of the first ones if I hadn't reviewed my order and hesitated at the end. I am a very fast typer, which definitely helped.

Hmmmmmmm........ They can manage a Facebook acct and post on a wall, but didn't know to refresh. Or figure out after fifteen minutes to redirect back in the site if they didn't know f5 shortcut. Wow, is all I can say to that. Imagine a moment if you will, you went to the doctors office for a check up and your google map directions delivered you to the office parking lot, but did not tell you to turn off your car and walk in the door.... Do you send google a nasty gram they left off the last direction and include the part where you sat in the car during your appointment time looking at the office doors? We could not make this drama up if we tried.

Inbox the girl a couple pages back! She couldn't get the link to work....I'm sure she would take it off your hands!!,! Her screen name is Reason!

 

[MzKayleeJames]

I passed on it. I want it but right now I'm flat broke and I hate asking the hubby for money since we're suppose to be saving to move cross country next year.

Where are you moving to Zadi?

 

[zadidoll]

Some where near Boston. Still house hunting though. The move isn't until next June/July though.

My box analysis time!  I have to say that I was going to pass on this until I realized how many hair conditioning treatment-type products are in here.  My hair is radically different from how it has been since 1986 when I started dyeing my hair.  I stopped dyeing it in 2008, and I stopped keeping it pixie-short last fall.  It in now shoulder-length and my third pet.  Its name is Fluffy.  I have a feeling it is going to want a *lot* of masks this winter.  So two masks *and* two hair oils?  Sold, even without really paying attention to the rest of the box.  

So.  My definite keepers:

• Schick Hydro Silk Razor
• Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask
  
• Pixi Eye Bright Liner
  
• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish
  
• Sally Hansen Cuticle Eraser & Balm
  
• Simple Skin Care Foaming Cleanser
  
• Cetaphil DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion
  
• Redken All Soft Argan Oil
  
• Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
  
• Sally Hansen Ouch Relief Wax Strip Kit 
  
• Skintimate Shaving Cream
  
• Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair Mask
  
• Sally Hanson Salon Effects Nail Strips
  
• Sation Nail Polish
  
• Tibolli Hair Oil
  

Will most likely rehome:

• KMS California Hair Stay
• RoC Retinol Correxion Cream
  
• Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair
  
• Burt’s Bees Lip Balm
  
• La Roche-Posay Redermic Intensive Anti-Aging Corrective Treatment
  
• Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Lotion
  
• Redken Satinwear 02 Ultimate Blow-Dry Lotion
  
• Goldwell Gloss Style Magic Finish Hairspray
  

(I hate hairspray, don't like chocolate in my lip balm, wear long pants every day year-round, don't blow-dry my hair, and have to stay away from skin products that *do* things.  I had a Bad Experience with some really fancy face cream last winter that had me Googling "allergic eczema" and making a Walgreen's run on Christmas day last year.  I still think that my list of items I'm keeping makes the box more than worth the money!)

I was looking at last year's fall box, and I notice that this year's doesn't really have any body products.  Body wash, scrub, butter -- not there.  Everything is hair, face, nails, with the exception of the razor, shaving cream, and leg lotion.  

ETA:  Oh, forgot about this part!  I was starting to tell a coworker about the box, and she started to throw a fit about how I didn't tell her about how it was going on sale today -- and so I told her to shut up and listen to the rest of the story because the end of it was the fact that I ordered an extra specifically because I knew she would want one.  So that second box I ordered and was going to offer up on MUT if she didn't want it has been claimed.
