Beauti, thats a bummer, I saw on the news, this happens a lot. Im a stay at home mom , if it happened to me, Id be out the door and beating them up , lol. Actually I have good ears and hear the delivery truck coming, I know their times too

But for those working, maybe you can make it where the post office holds all packages for you? Like getting a PO box or fill out a hold mail dates that vacationers use, Just do a Hold Mail request during the week you expect packages , It would work ! then they would be safe and waiting for you at the Post office and you can pick them, up.

I used to have community lock boxes, and I loved them the best, sounds like it will be future for all residences if the USPS gets more funding...

Got my box at 8pm. UPS really runs late this time of year. 

My variations were

NYX Pardon my French (love it)

Sally Hansen Triple Shine Make Waves (light blue/green kinda sheer)

Neutrogena eye shadow Perfect pink

Almay Pink Pout

L'Oreal Coral Encore

My replacement item is the Benefit Pore Professional. I was wanting to try it.

Good box. I am glad I bought it. I will use some and give some away.

I'm still waiting for my box, was supposed to be delivered Friday (12/6) but it never showed but I'm sure it's because of the weather. I wonder where my box is now anyways, the tracking status hasn't been updated in almost 3 days and now estimated delivery date is unavailable. I hate waiting for the boxes!!

 

[BlackMagicRose]

My box was supposed to be delivered yesterday too, but there was a "late train," so now I have to wait until Monday. I hate that UPS doesn't normally deliver on Saturdays (without paying extra). I want my box! 

 

[pinkgirlie]

Please everyone, if youre expecting such a valuable box and you wont be at home, please consider a HOLD MAIL request form you can fill out at the post office, Theres so many porch package theft going on.. that it would be safer for the Post office to hold it for you till you pick it up...

For UPS too , they have a service you can reschedule and time it where youll be there..

 

[blushingsooner]

The weather here has delayed my package 😥

 

[pinkgirlie]

Oops, this Allure box is shipping UPS not USPS, Im sorry. .I was just on my other posts (i didnt order Allure) and saw someone got their package stolen and I jumped on board to advise, only to look stupid

But yes, UPS does rescheduling according to whats good for you...I would look into that.

Has anybody else had problems getting status updates from UPS? I contacted them because I haven't had a status update on my package in over 5 days and was supposed to be delivered on the 6th, all the UPS guy said to do was contact the shipper for an investigation. I just want an update to see the new arrival date, just to make sure that I'm home.

Just received my box.. My variables were

NYX A La Mode which is a lot of greys and browns

Sally Hansen Triple Shine Red Snapper (bright red/coral)

Neutrogena eye shadow Perfect pink

Almay Soo pink

L'Oreal Coral Encore which looks really bright in the tube but is really a nice soft color

I didn't receive my surprise gift /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was debating emailing them because I am really happy with the box and it's value..but looking at what everyone else received I think I might. 

 

[Ayryil]

I didn't get a surprise gift either but I called and they are sending me a tote bag. I'm still happy with what I did get /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[mrst909]

I emailed them almost a week ago about my replacement product and still haven't heard back from them. If you have contacted them by email how long did it take to get a response?

 

[BlackMagicRose]

Almay Gloss in Nudetrients (200)

Sally Hansen Triple Shine in Pixie Slicks (pink)

NYX palette in Pardon My French (yay, different from the one I got in Blush Mystery Box)

Neutrogena Shadow in Stay Golden

Loreal in Coral Encore (202) 

My replacement- Sally Hansen Salon Effects French Mani Strips (not a fan of nail strips)

I was skeptical about the box even after I bought it, but I will try and use the majority of the stuff in it. There are only a few things I won't use at all. 

 

[jenniferrose]

Almay Gloss in Cantaloupe (700)

Sally Hansen Triple Shine in Play Koi

NYX palette in Love in Paris

Neutrogena Shadow in Stay Golden

Loreal in Coral Encore (202) 

My replacement- Sally Hansen Fuzz-Sea which I already own

I'm afraid the colors of these were a bust for me, but I love everything else!

 

[sandyeggos]

Almay Gloss Balm in Cantaloupe (I didn't think I was going to like this color, but with a darker-ish eye this totally works for me.)

L'Oreal in Coral Encore (Holy Pink. Uh, this is super bright for me, but I'll use this in place of red lips this winter. Still . So. Pink. Wow)

Zoya Pixie Dust in Tomoko (Between this and Missy I have more Silver polish than I ever need but perfect for the Holidays!)
Julep Duo: Missy and Anisa

Sally Hansen in Making Waves 

Love in Paris - C'estLa Vie (This is the Color Palette I've been eyeing and I'm so happy it ended up in my box!)

Eye Shadow in Stay Golden (A great base color for me since I go neutral on eyes)

Surprise Item: the Fuzzy Polish (I think I'm going to do a pairing with the Sally Hansen color but not until January or so)

 

[Ang2121]

Even if I am not a huge fan of some of the lip and nail colors..  The overall value of the box and the number of items I will use really blows most of my sub boxes out of the water. I can't complain at all. I will definitely be buying the next one. 

 

[Nevaeh]

my surprise gift was a schick hydro razor. ugh, i've gotten 3 of these things free n the mail already!

 

[naturalactions]

I received my box last night...my surprise gift was a red and white chevron print makeup pouch..meh...it's okay I guess. 

 

[birdiebijou]

SO excited to come home and open up my box last night... here's my variables:

Almay Gloss - can't remember name, but BRIGHT pink

Sally Hansen Triple Shine - Red Snapper

NYX palette in A La Mode - lots of grays and browns, very pretty

Neutrogena Shadow in Stay Golden

Loreal Lipstick in Coral Encore (202) 

My surprise gift was Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Night Cream.

Really happy overall. These boxes are such an insane value.

I got this too... my issues with it are: I got the box expecting beauty products, the replacement should also be a usable beauty product. Also, I was using the nail care products in a Christmas gift for my younger sister, and now I'm short a pair of colors (easily fixable problem, I know, but I'm a planner lol. I get cranky if things change). It seems thin and it's kind of a weird size... I'm not sure what I'll use it for.
