ALLURE BEAUTY BOX 

💄 SEPTEMBER 2018

If you’ve seen the sneak peeks of the September box you would know that everyone is getting a MAC bullet lipstick in one of their iconic shades. This little tidbit is enough to spark interest in the September box. 

IGK Rich kid coconut oil gel.

This non nose intruding coconut oil is soft on the scent and not too strong which is a good thing because no one wants to smell like they’re drenched in coconut. This oil gel has a creamy texture but smooths down to an oil when rubbed in on the hair. It does help to smooth and soften the hair and then the gel sets in place slightly. Nothing crispy looking as the gel is really mild and doesn’t harden the hair down.

Tarteist Lash and glue.

These are two things that work well together but count them as two separate deluxe products from the box. The Tarte lashes are amaaazing! I am the type of person who skips lashes all the time because i find them tedious. But i wore this for a wedding and they are the best that I’ve tried. The lashes and thin (my kind of lashes) not thick at all and not heavy. They feel lightweight and featherlight. 

As for the glue, they dry down well and on time as when you apply the lashes to your eyes they’re already tacky. They don’t take forever to dry and is very fast at adhering. Needless to say i will wear this again without hesitating because its great.

Drunk elephant TLC Sukari babyfacial.

So far I have been pleased with whatever drunk elephant products that i get to test and sample because they work wonders. But straight away alot of people dont have the luxury to purchase something from drunk elephant because of the steep price tag. This is considered a generous amount for a deluxe size, the full version is USD$80 for 50ml. So it is basically $24 for 15ml. But rest assured that the price tag fits the miracles of the products.

This is a do it yourself at home facial step that contains AHA/BHA that effectively yet gently exfoliates your pores and removed build up underneath. Its super simple and only takes 20minutes on the face while you do your thangs. Then wash and pat dry. I find that with facials or peels that has AHA/BHA they tend to hit the sensitive spot with the tinglings but this is mild and non invasive to the sensitive skin. Which puts a plus on it. After wear, skin feels smoother and cleaner, because this product is also part fo the clean seal of approval formulated without the harmful chems.

MAC bullet lipstick in Ruby Woo. 

YES! I was super stoked to see that we will be receiving a MAC product and to receive the classic shade Ruby woo I’m ecstatic. (Mainly because the other shade is a bright pink that does not suite me.) This universally flattering red will suit almost everyone’s skin tone and also makes your teeth appear whiter due to the blue undertones in the red. 

I rarely wear bullet lipsticks because the liquid lipstick trend is basically here to stay and they are so much better to control. Compared to a bullet lipstick that sometimes dont fit into your lips contour. But occasionally if i had to grab a striking red lipstick, this will be it. 

While the September box feels like there is lesser products introduced, i think it has the most value for money with each sample being something of an expensive brand. And definitely makes the $15+ amount you pay worthy.
