Editor's Pick
Pros
- Curated by the Best of Beauty Team: Boxes are chosen by Allure's own beauty editors — the same people behind the magazine's Best of Beauty Awards — rather than by an algorithm reading your last purchase.
- The Value Is Not Subtle: The September box carried six products valued above $150 for a $30 box — customisable DIME Beauty skincare, Morphe, Rodial, Dr. PAWPAW, DERMA E and Patchology — against a stated 40% saving to retail, rising to 50% on the annual plan.
- Membership Perks Beyond the Box: Free shipping across the contiguous US, a Member Store with savings up to 50%, a no-repeat guarantee month to month, and two free mystery gifts plus $25 in store credit for new subscribers.
Cons
- Contents are largely a surprise each month — one item was customisable in the September box — which is rather the point of a discovery subscription.
- The plan renews automatically until you stop it, though cancelling is free and can be done from the account portal at any time.
The Verdict
What sets the Allure Beauty Box apart is who is doing the choosing: Subscription boxes usually run on quizzes and leftover inventory. This one runs on an editorial desk — the same Allure team that decides the Best of Beauty Awards each year — and the site says so plainly: chosen by editors, not algorithms. What arrives reflects that. September's box held six products valued above $150: a DIME Beauty skincare item picked from four options, a Morphe Signature Lip Pencil, Rodial Soft Focus Glow Drops, a Dr. PAWPAW tinted balm, a DERMA E Vitamin C serum and Patchology eye gels. The pricing tiers reward commitment without demanding it. Monthly is $30 a box at a stated 40% off retail, quarterly drops to $27.50 billed every three months, and annual is $25 a box at 50% off. Every tier includes free shipping within the contiguous US, a Member Store with savings up to 50%, and a no-repeat guarantee so the same product does not turn up twice. New subscribers get two mystery gifts and $25 toward the store. It renews automatically and cancels free, from the portal, whenever you like. Editorial taste at a fraction of retail. The easiest way to find your next favourite thing.
Editor-Curated Beauty Discovery, Every Month
The Allure Beauty Box is the monthly beauty subscription from Allure magazine, operated by MarZ Licensing, LLC. Each box is assembled by Allure's beauty editors — the same team behind the magazine's Best of Beauty Awards — and the site is explicit that selections are made by people rather than algorithms.
Three plans are offered: $30 per box monthly, $27.50 per box billed quarterly, or $25 per box billed annually, described on site as savings of 40%, 45% and 50% against retail. The September box contained six products with a stated value above $150 — a customisable DIME Beauty Co. skincare pick from four options, a Morphe Signature Lip Pencil, Rodial Soft Focus Glow Drops, a Dr. PAWPAW Multipurpose Tinted Balm, a DERMA E Vitamin C Serum and Patchology eye gels.
Membership includes unlimited free shipping in the contiguous United States, a Member Store with savings up to 50%, and a no-repeat guarantee so products are not duplicated month to month. New subscribers receive two free mystery gifts and $25 toward the Member Store. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle and can be cancelled at any time without cost or penalty through the online account portal or by email. Boxes are non-returnable once shipped; damaged, defective or missing items are handled by support within 14 days of delivery.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this Allure Beauty Box review sponsored?
No. Allure Beauty Box did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Allure Beauty Box assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
Is the price on this page what I will pay?
The figure here is the price we last saw at Allure Beauty Box, and merchants move prices without warning. Check the merchant’s page before you commit — if what you see there is lower, that is the one that counts.
What else have you reviewed in Health & Wellness?
Everything in Health & Wellness sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
