Allure Beauty Box May 2016

It just blows my mind how good these boxes are compared to other subscription boxes, in terms of value and relevance. They have some unique picks that always surprise me. This month, the highlight of the box was definitely getting the full-sized Foreo Luna Play worth a whopping $39, which pretty much pays the box value and then some. I do hear few people ranting on Youtube that they are unable to receive these boxes, and Its really no wonder that these boxes are absolutely sold out. They are just loaded with great brands and products. This month the value was around $94!! 


The Foreo Luna Play a disposable cleansing brush that lasts for 100 uses and you can toss it out and replace this, that way its more hygienic. The Foreo Day Cleanser and Foreo Night Cleanser smell distinctly different, Day cleanser has a more fruity scent, The Night cleanser also acts like a scrub as it has beads,so does a great job in cleansing the pores along with the brush. I received it in this lovely Fuschia color but it comes in many different colors on their website. They have also included a free code to save value of Luna Play on Purchase of Luna Play 2. 


Then there was this lovely Pixi Mattlustre lipstick in Rose Naturelle, Its a lovely pigmented nude-brown shade that's hydrating with Vitamins C/E, Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid. It is a bit Tiny , The full-sized product costs around $12, but this sample is great to just toss in your purse. I am kinda enjoying this small mini!



The Nail polish included in the box by Lauren B. nail polish in Santa Barbara Surf, is such a fun color. I did not have this in my collection so I was very pleased to receive this unique color. The other thing to note is that this polish is free from many harmful chemicals such as Formaldehyde, Totulene, etc. I was also very happy with the quality of the polish. You will need to put on 2 coats for a opaque look.


The serum that came with the box is from a lesser known brand, I think I had never heard of this brand before it came in my Allure box.But after researching a bit about this product, I found out that the full sized Equitance Brightening Serum + Spot Corrector is almost $125. This is one of those targeted serums that help correct dark spots over time and continued use, I am quite interested in seeing the results after 4 weeks of use, The sample is enough for about a month's use, so that's helpful. 
  
I have heard the saying too many times that "a woman can never have enough Mascara", but that's not the case with me, I have too many mascara's from my previous boxes, so might just give this to someone to try out for me. The brush is very uniquely designed with a narrow end for inner line lashes and fat center to load the longer lashes, to give it a fuller look. The full sized Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara is almost $24. The brand Make Up For Ever is a great brand, I especially love their primer selections


The box included a tiny sample of Cötz Flawless Complexion SPF 50, that's good for travel use. It is lightweight and almost odorless. I didn't think much of it,the packaging is very basic.The main ingredient is Zinc Oxide. I thought the formula was a bit separated when I used it. I don't think I was pleased enough to buy this product myself for a $20 price. 



Overall, I am so pleased with my Allure May Box, I am always most excited to get this box. Their Bonus boxes are also absolutely wonderful to receive with many highly rated products, Cant wait to see whats in my next month's box!
