Allure Winter Beauty Box 2013

[mrst909]

The tooth whitening pen was the thing I wanted most too! This may not be the most exciting box, mostly drugstore items, but almost everything will get used by someone in my household, and what we don't use will be gifted or donated to the women's shelter

I ordered right at 11:01 cst and was #544...took almost 20 minutes to get email confirmation, I was worried at first that I didn't get confirmation right away too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> my email said allow 2-4 weeks for delivery

In the past the earlier confirmation codes seem to ship earlier and the later confirmation codes ship later. For example confirmation #1500 and under gets it in about the 2 week time frame and the confirmation numbers 1501-3000 gets it throughout the 3-4 week time frame. I'm not saying this is always the case but in my opinion this is the trend I have seen.

By the way, for anyone interested, the FAB Ultra Repair cream is my HG daily moisturizer.  It has helped my insanely dry skin for years now.  My skin gets so bad in the winter and this is the only product that keeps it in check without making me break out.

That's awesome! I have very dry skin, and I'm still looking for a product that really works for me.

I think my # was 658. Is it bad that I bought one on a whim after happening on this thread today after I randomly decided to skip class? I probably won't even use half the stuff, since I usually don't use drugstore makeup, but I see these boxes every season and have never actually gotten one before. For all the items you get, I do think it's worth it just to try out new things. 

You picked a great day to skip class!

Hope it works for you!  I also really like Cetaphil but not for my face.  It clogs my pores and makes my break out.  I use that for my legs, arms, etc. and it is great.  I've tried other body lotions and none of them make the skin as smooth as Cetaphil.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is the product I really wanted to try the most! I was looking at it on Sephora's site and it was $30. So for $20 more this box was a steal.

Ooh! I just hopped over here to see how long it would take to arrive! Thanks for the info! I've heard some of the previous boxes arrived within 6-7 days? Is that an actual possibility?

That's a great way to look at it. I'm glad I pulled the trigger then! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Summer one did come that fast but the Fall took a little over 2 weeks and I was around #700 for summer and #200 for fall.

 

[CaptainSassy]

I decided at 11:45 I was going to do it. I skipped the summer and fall. I really wanted that ultra repair cream. I was #217. Kinda excited now because I can make some fab gift boxes for my friends/family.

 

[Goodie]

What is everyone most excited for?  What are you keeping and what are you giving away?  Figured I'd use sparklesgirlxox contents that she put up to fill out a little list.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm going to try everything, and the things I don't like I can give to my Mom, sister, or closest friends - they don't mind if it's been used, we trade things all the time.

 

[lindzebra]

Kind of sad I didn't get one. Here's hoping the spring box is good.

 

[Val Erler]

ugh! I didnt get one either, just got home a couple of minutes ago and went straight to the webpage to see the sold out stamp across it. =(

I was on the later end of the spring box and was pleasantly surprised by how fast it came.  Mine was there in about 2 weeks last time, but I did see people reporting as early as a week.

 

[BlackMagicRose]

I'm most looking forward to the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, Zoya Nail Polish (my fave nail brand) and the Rusk Dry Shampoo. Everything else is a bonus!
