Ok I haven't seen this posted yet, sorry if I missed something. My "replacement" for the sation polish was a cheap little pouch. I'm annoyed because that specific polish was one of the things I was really looking forward to. And you would think they could at least replace it with another nail item or at least some type of beauty product...not some cheap looking bag. I'm not trying to sound whiney because I do still feel that the box was a great value, but it seems like the value of the "replacement item" is highly variable among boxes. I mean some people are getting eye creams or other nail polishes and I get...a bag. Womp womp womp. I would post a pic but am on my phone at work right now. Did anyone else get the bag? I don't know if it's even worth complaining to them about but its quite disappointing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree...a bag/pouch is disappointing. This is the Allure beauty box...you want BEAUTY products.

Just received mine today... my variables were: Loreal lip gloss in Coral Encore, Almay lip balm in Apple A Day, Neutrogene eye shadow in Constant Copper, Sally Hansen Triple Shine polish in Vanity Flare, my NYX Love in Paris eyeshadow pallette was 06 - C'Est La Vie (did anyone receive a different color?),replacement for Sation polish = Sally Hansen Salon Effect French mani strips (I suck at applying these....)

Though the lip colors are a little bright for me, overall a great box... and I was SO happy to see the bubble wrap instead of packing peanuts; I think that saved me 30 minutes empying my box since I didn't have them sticking and flying all over!

My replacement item was Pixi eyeliner in plum. I'm pretty happy because I can't wear nail polish and it's all I ever get from my sub boxes lol.

The lip colors are not great for me but I give stuff like that to my nieces for playing dress-up.

I would LOVE the Pixi Eyeliner in my box. A plum eyeliner has been on my wishlist. There's a bunch more of the replacement options than I expected!

Lucky you! I was happy with my neutrogena lip gloss as my replacement but now wish I got this instead or the ROC product some others have gotten.

So I assume, from skimming through this thread, Allure does these quarterly?  By that assumption, there should be another one in March/April?  I really wanted this one, I would have actually used almost everything!  But I just didn't have enough money in my budget for this one.  Really hoping I will be able to snatch up the next one.

I checked my emails and seems like I got the Summer box last April.

Yes, they do this quarterly. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So this was my replacement product. 



After seeing what other people have been getting as a replacement for the sation polish (full size porefessional--which is my go-to primer, pixi eyeliners, face creams, eye creams, etc etc etc) I think I am going to email them to complain about the disparity between replacement products. It just doesn't seem fair that someone would get a primer worth $30 and I get this little pouch that is probably worth like $1 if that. I hate to complain because the box is still a really good value, but I think they should have at least sent me another beauty item. Does it seem unreasonable to complain about that?

It is absolutely not unreasonable! You bought this box expecting a certain product, and it was replaced with something different that isn't to your satisfaction. It's not fair that some people received a makeup or skincare item and you received a random makeup bag. I would definitely complain.

Hope you hear something back from Allure, I sent my email about Noon this afternoon and they haven't yet responded.... I'm trying to be patient but I am greatly challenged in that area,lol! 

ALSO.... Not sure if this has been mentioned and I might have missed it.... but I just opened my Zoya polish box and on the slip of paper inside of it, there's a code for a free polish with any $30 purchase on the Zoya website. Thank goodness that it doesn't expire until Jan. 31, 2014.

I bought two boxes and both had the dollar store pouch as the replacement. (already emailed) I received one of each ce la vie and pardon my French, two rimmel in black, two almay balm in pink, two sally Hansen in Sparks fly, two loreal in coral, two neutrogena in constant copper.

 

[ydlr20]

So this is how my Burt's Bees night cream came. Even though it was sealed on the side of the cap, the cap was not placed correctly. I'm sending Allure an email ASAP.

 

[wagz379]

The more and more I go through my items, the more I'm really convinced that I did not get a replacement item at all. I got the card, but I got everything in the original box photo except for the Sation. Everything else that I got is in the booklet? Anyone else?

What is the email we should use if we have problems with our boxes?
