INSIDE THE ALLURE SUMMER 2012 BEAUTY BOX:


When I first opened the Allure Beauty Box there was a pamphlet or booklet (pictured above) laying on top that contained information on each of the items and special offers on some of "Summers Must Have" products.


Here is a picture of how the items were packaged in the box.


Here are the items that I received:
  • MISS NAIL LAQUER
  • PUREOLOGY PERFECT 4 PLATINUM Miracle Filler Treatment
  • REDKEN POWDER REFRESH 01 aerosol hair powder/dry shampoo
  • NEW! JERGENS NATURAL GLOW AND PROTECT Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20
  • NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunscreen SPF 70
  • GILLETTE VENUS AND OLAY RAZOR
  • ORLY Nail Lacquer
  • TANTOWEL LOOK GOOD NAKED Self-Tan Towelette 
  • NEUTROGENA MoistureShine Lip Soother with SPF 20 in Gleam
  • BURT'S BEES Lip Shimmer


  • JOHN FRIEDA FULL REPAIR Style Revival Heat-Activated Styling Spray
  • JOHN FRIEDA Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray
  • CETAPHIL DERMACONTROL Oil Control moisturizer SPF 30
  • JOHN FRIEDA FRIZZ-EASE Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control for fine to med. hair
  • DR. LEWINN BY KINERASE Instant Dermal Wrinkle Filler  


  • NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunscreen SPF 70 
  • BIORE Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser
  • CETAPHIL DERMACONTROL Oil Control Foam Wash
  • CLEAN & CLEAR MORNING BURST Skin Brightening Facial Cleanser
  • ALOXXI COLOURCARE Leave-In Conditioner 
  • FEKKAI GLOSSING Cream


  • PANTENE Normal-Thick Anti-Breakage Shampoo
  • PANTENE Normal-Thick Anti-Breakage Conditioner
  • CERAVE SA Renewing Lotion
  • OSCAR BLANDI Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray

I did receive all of my items plus an additional NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunscreen SPF 70. I don't know if this was an accident or not but I know I'll definitely use it.

This year's Allure Summer Beauty Box was nice, but I find that I was a little disappointed in the product selections. It seemed there were more haircare products than anything else. Which in my opinion caused me to slightly regret purchasing the Beauty Box. The haircare products were everyday drugstore items that I could purchase at a discounted price or on sale. Basically, the products should have been more of the high-end variety.

Overall, I think I still prefer last years over this one. Last years seemed to have more makeup items, more preventative skincare products, and more well known / popular brands. That's not to say that I don't like this one because it does have a lot of great products and I know I will have loads of fun experimenting with everything. I'm just a little disappointed with the variety.
