Hi Sher. I get 2 boxes from Allure because I absolutely love them! However, for the first time, there was not a single thing in a box that I had any interest in so I’ve skipped January for both boxes. Usually, there’s something I’m excited about. Anything I don’t personally want goes into my ‘Gift Closet’ which is an awesome and inexpensive was to build a gift basket for someone. 💖
I too have a gifting closet, a Poshmark closet. Not all products I receive in these boxes are my favorites but that doesn't mean that someone else wouldn't appreciate them
I skipped too for the same reasons. I do love Ahava, but I have a backlog of mud masks. Everything else in the box, I just have tried before and didn't want again.
I feel like - for the 10 year anniversary - this box should have been awesome. Some stellar make-up product, a NEW perfume (not one of their usuals) and maybe a fan favorite like the Money conditioner or Bobbi Brown mascara. I like when Allure gives us new launches. They could have really made a big production out of this and provided something special.
Hi Sher! I’m pretty sure +JenLuv here on TH-cam has mentioned the Ciate London topic recently on her weekly makeup series! She usually keeps a pretty good running log of how company closings are going, and how customers are being treated so even if she doesn’t know now, I’m sure she’d be glad to have the info!
I absolutely loved the body cream, shampoo and conditioner were amazing, the mud mask didn't dry put my dry skin more surprisingly and i love the perfume
i had to come back and comment again i got my allure box and i love the perfume lol i love smelling like a naughty cherry lol this is a perfume i may have to get the full bottle of lol.
Ooooh I love your eyes! What palette? It's funny I just did my Allure video and wore brown and I look awful in brown! I don't like the pepper in the perfume, can't use the clay mask, I love the neck cream and I don't know about the shampoo and conditioner but like the packaging and the fact that they gave us both!
I recently got on a toxin free skincare kick and went through my skincare and makeup and checked each one and had to throw about 25% away. I can’t believe the chemicals some products contain. I’m thankful that so many great products from Allure are toxin free. That’s the only box subscription I kept.
Yea I will get around hopefully to another skincare declutter too and look at my stuff through a conscious beauty lens. There are some items that just shouldn’t touch our skin. I have to say I’m loving new beauty test tube as well and the dermstore items:) Lots of quality skincare there! :)
@@SherSharesBeauty i liked it too i have long hair so it does go fast, hubby doesn't use my "girly" stuff he uses his kind and has for years he is one of those never change guys and never tries anything new lol he doesnt get that the shampoo isnt always girly stuff just because it comes in one of the boxes i get lol
Had the same problem as you with Ciate London. Received an email from USPS that it should be here tomorrow January 13th. I ordered mine in November too so I thought they had scammed me.
I did Hello Fresh for awhile. Benefits: meals are planned, new recipes are tried & fewer trips to the store. Negatives: not enough to fill us, some recipes we dont like, still have to prep & cook the food & clean up the mess. FACTOR is way better. Fresh never frozen, cook 2 min in the microwave & no cleanup...plus more variety 🎉
Thank you Sher..I like the Juliette has a gun perfume spray..but not anything else..not really..I'll never use the Ahava mud mask.the Maelys body creme smells like lavender to me ( not sure) but it's good..I don't use powder face products..so a big No on translucent powder....thanks& hope you had a great vacation ❤
I watched your spoiler video for this month & the only product I was curious about was the shampoo and conditioner. I decided to skip this month, but I must not have been quick enough because they still sent me the box. 😂The shampoo was disappointing it didnt lather, but the conditioner was nice. The body whip sounds interesting but typically fragranced lotions give me rashes. Ahava is a nice brand but I too have dry skin. There was no custimizable product in this month's box. Too bad they couldnt let us pick from a variety of Ahava masks depending on our skin type. Surely Ahava being skincare based has face masks for every problem/ skin type.
Yea that’s always the struggle with allure is only occasional customizations:( And you have to get in there before the end of the month if you want to skip. I’ve gotten stuck before too. 😂
Love the Monday shampoo and conditioner. Costco had a great sale on the mega size plus dry shampoo last month. I do like the Juliette perfume, but it’s not my fave. TFS! 💜
I love hello fresh. My son went off to college in August and ive been ordering hello fresh since. Grt it, try it and cancel if its not yoir thing but at least give it a go! I could share a coupon code with you which would give you a free box.
Sher, you said that you don’t know how to call the UK. Why not contact your phone provider and ask them to help you with that? I would be mad as well, if I didn’t receive something I ordered from the UK and it had not shipped yet. You definitely need to get them on the phone. Good luck!
I’m not sure if this is true, but I think I heard a rumour that Ciate London maybe going bust. I can’t remember where i heard it so there maybe no truth in this rumour.
that hello Fresh coupon really doesn't help cost lol they are very expensive lol if you can get them so sponsor you go for it but i wouldn't pay for those outrageous prices though save that money for mystery boxes or make up lol that is just my opinion on hello fresh i thought id try it and its just too costly
I love the maelys. I’m not impressed at the moment with the ciate London powder. I don’t think it brightened anything. That Ahava is amazing. My face felt softer. I’m not sure how to feel about the Monday shampoo and conditioner yet. I read reviews on Ulta, and some of them are not good. Talking about rashes and hair loss. I love the perfume. It’s not musky scented.
I didn’t skip the box because I wanted to try the perfume. I liked it but it’s strong. I don’t get cherry and I LOVE all cherry perfumes, I’ll have to go back and wear it again. I don’t like AHAVA, I feel like they have been in EVERY SINGLE box for years and they need to just retire the brand. The. Is was OK but nothing special..
I loved the perfume. Right now I’m not interested in anything Ciate London. I hope they quit using their products. ( I was one of many who did not get their order or refund ). They are not answering Emails or anything on their social media..
Yea I’m hearing they may possibly be not doing well? Beauty boxes may include them for a bit until they use up the overstock products probably. But that is still no way to treat customers. We deserve an explanation! 😡
Will you please give your advice about brown makeup? I saw the Sephora video. It looks like too much. Can you make it more simple? The Must-Have Tips From Celeb Makeup Artist Mario Dedivanovic. Sephora th-cam.com/video/W8lBdfNgrus/w-d-xo.html
Can you clarify what kind of advice? Like are you looking for a separate video or just someone to explain the steps he took? Are you saying it’s too much makeup or there was too much info?

Me too. I love Ahava Mud mask but did not like anything else.
@ I have dry, mature skin so that wouldn’t be best for me. However, it’s a good product!😊
I too have a gifting closet, a Poshmark closet. Not all products I receive in these boxes are my favorites but that doesn't mean that someone else wouldn't appreciate them
Yea I can see that this month, definitely. I like the gift closet idea. I’ve got a gift basket that’s similar but it’s overflowing. 😀

@@Kayyouhu77 💯 I totally agree with you!

oooh so looking forward to part two of that ranking video!! the juliette sounds good to me but im glad youre being conscious about your items!
Yes just so many videos to film lol. Lots of declutters coming as well! 🤗
I liked the Juliet. It’s got a nice warm smell. When I first sprayed it on, I was thinking I don’t know about this, but then after it sits I like it.
Yea it always changes a little after sitting. I’ll have to do some wear tests. I’m still on the fence lol
I love your purple eyeshadow is so pretty
Thank you, it was Colourpop lilac you a lot:)
@SherSharesBeauty I never tried ColourPop
Hi Sher I think this was a great box TFS ❤❤
Sure thing. There were a couple of nice things. I hope February is exciting!
I absolutely loved the body cream, shampoo and conditioner were amazing, the mud mask didn't dry put my dry skin more surprisingly and i love the perfume
I am heading from a few of you that the mud mask wasn’t drying. I wonder if I should try it after all. 🤔
I did get my Ciate box. It was mailed from New Jersey? I think it probably came bulk shipped to Nj where it got packaged and mailed? Sorry Sher ❤
I’m so glad you got yours. I think a very small handful of folks got theirs in the beginning. But yea mine has been stuck in NJ for months. 😭
@ I’m sorry. That’s nuts!!!
i had to come back and comment again i got my allure box and i love the perfume lol i love smelling like a naughty cherry lol this is a perfume i may have to get the full bottle of lol.
Hey Sher quick question. When you skip a month do they send you an email confirmation?
Yes, they do. I skipped Nov, Dec and Jan. I got an email each time. I hope February is a good one for me.
Thank you!@@missyford1397
Ooooh I love your eyes! What palette? It's funny I just did my Allure video and wore brown and I look awful in brown!

This was the CP lilac palette:) wow sounds like most of the box was a bust for you? :(

i just opened the oplex shampoo and conditioner from the fff box lol now im gonna get more lol omg lol i love new shampoos though lol
Yes shampoos are something I go through fast so I love getting them as well! And I love olaplex!
@@SherSharesBeauty i liked it too i have long hair so it does go fast, hubby doesn't use my "girly" stuff he uses his kind and has for years he is one of those never change guys and never tries anything new lol he doesnt get that the shampoo isnt always girly stuff just because it comes in one of the boxes i get lol
I just want to try the body whip. Can't wait for next month's pick for the Merit Lip Oil!
Same! Yea the Maelys I think was my fave item in the box:)
@@SherSharesBeauty I tried it last night. I really like it. Very moisturizing.
I love how Juliette smells but it fades sooooo fast like 30 minutes gone!
Yea I noticed that too with the other one.
Had the same problem as you with Ciate London. Received an email from USPS that it should be here tomorrow January 13th. I ordered mine in November too so I thought they had scammed me.
Wow ok that’s great that yours says it’s coming! I am so confused. Mine still hasn’t budged lol. 🤷🏻♀️
@ Nevermind. It never came. Read on Trustpilot that is also part of the scam. Turned into credit card company and USPS as a scam.
Love to know more about the hello fresh food is so expensive
I did Hello Fresh for awhile. Benefits: meals are planned, new recipes are tried & fewer trips to the store. Negatives: not enough to fill us, some recipes we dont like, still have to prep & cook the food & clean up the mess. FACTOR is way better. Fresh never frozen, cook 2 min in the microwave & no cleanup...plus more variety 🎉
Ohh thanks for the tip. I’ve never heard of factor.
Thank you Sher..I like the Juliette has a gun perfume spray..but not anything else..not really..I'll never use the Ahava mud mask.the Maelys body creme smells like lavender to me ( not sure) but it's good..I don't use powder face products..so a big No on translucent powder....thanks& hope you had a great vacation ❤
Thanks, it was fabulous! 🏝️ And yes I’m still going back and forth on the perfume. I think I need to wear it some to test it.

I bought a fake baccarat rouge one that is an oil and I'm crazy bout it! I luv it for $6!
Oh nice! Which one is that?
@SherSharesBeauty got it on Tik Tok shop lol
Love the Monday shampoo and conditioner. Costco had a great sale on the mega size plus dry shampoo last month. I do like the Juliette perfume, but it’s not my fave. TFS! 💜
Oh I will have to try the shampoo/conditioner!
I have really dry skin and I can't do mud or clay masks
I love hello fresh. My son went off to college in August and ive been ordering hello fresh since. Grt it, try it and cancel if its not yoir thing but at least give it a go! I could share a coupon code with you which would give you a free box.
Oh nice! I am looking at a couple of food boxes. I’ll let you know if I go with it. Extra free boxes help!
Sher, you said that you don’t know how to call the UK. Why not contact your phone provider and ask them to help you with that? I would be mad as well, if I didn’t receive something I ordered from the UK and it had not shipped yet. You definitely need to get them on the phone. Good luck!
This is my first month without Allure! I have zero FOMO lol. TFS ❤
Ha ha, it wasn’t an exciting month, no doubt.
I skipped this month . Thanks for the review❤
I have heard that a lot of people didn't get the Ciare box, mine came right away!!🙄
I’m so glad you were able to get yours. I’ve heard only two of you.. :(
10 yrs is odd because I must have started getting them pretty soon after they started
Yea in some ways a decade is a long time but in others, I feel like I’ve been doing allure for at least half those years & thought it was old then! 😂
I love all Ahava products on my 62 yr old skin. It is one of the only companies based in Israel with dead sea ingredients. Thanks Cher.
Do you feel it’s not as drying then? I wonder if I should try it after all? 😀
Last time I was on Ciate London’s site everything is sold out. It’s weird.
Yea I’m thinking there are signs that they aren’t doing well. We’ll see… 😬
I will be mad at Ciate London for you bc I don’t love their products haha 😊
Ha ha, I am thinking they could be going under but we’ll see… 😬
I’m not sure if this is true, but I think I heard a rumour that Ciate London maybe going bust. I can’t remember where i heard it so there maybe no truth in this rumour.
That would make a lot of sense. My husband called it to and said it sounds like they might be going under. Yikes 😬
that hello Fresh coupon really doesn't help cost lol they are very expensive lol if you can get them so sponsor you go for it but i wouldn't pay for those outrageous prices though save that money for mystery boxes or make up lol that is just my opinion on hello fresh i thought id try it and its just too costly
Oh my I hadn’t looked at the prices yet. 😬 I mean, I wonder if I replaced a lot of my groceries with it if it would be worth it?
When i wore Juliette has a gun my husband asked what was burning! Definitely not for me.
Omg! 🤣 That is NOT a good sign! 😂
I love the maelys. I’m not impressed at the moment with the ciate London powder. I don’t think it brightened anything. That Ahava is amazing. My face felt softer. I’m not sure how to feel about the Monday shampoo and conditioner yet. I read reviews on Ulta, and some of them are not good. Talking about rashes and hair loss. I love the perfume. It’s not musky scented.
I wonder if I should at least try the ahava after all. But yikes on the shampoo/conditioner reviews. 😬 I haven’t tried them yet.
I skipped this box. Hoping next months box is better.
Yea, I can’t wait to see the rest of the February spoilers!
I didn’t skip the box because I wanted to try the perfume. I liked it but it’s strong. I don’t get cherry and I LOVE all cherry perfumes, I’ll have to go back and wear it again. I don’t like AHAVA, I feel like they have been in EVERY SINGLE box for years and they need to just retire the brand. The. Is was OK but nothing special..
Ah so this is my first cherry. I don’t have any others to compare it to. And yea Ahava shows up on every single box. 😂
@ ohhhh if you like cherry scents dossier has a great dupe for TF lost cherry..
I loved the perfume. Right now I’m not interested in anything Ciate London. I hope they quit using their products. ( I was one of many who did not get their order or refund ). They are not answering Emails or anything on their social media..
