Question 1

How does this compare to Birchbox or Ipsy?

Accepted Answer

-Birchbox cost $10 per month 
Birchbox’s gift to you is their signature box, which has a different designed top and a color coordinated bottom each month, which could be used for gift giving or storage, but it’s not very large, I ended up with a stack of 5x7 boxes, which I donated. 
I liked that you were asked questions tailored to determine your favorite (or most flattering) colors, and any skin or hair issues. The selection of samples is somewhat comparable to those you can buy at Sephora when you are waiting in line. 
What turned me off was when I decided to cancel my subscription to Birchbox, I went through a gauntlet of questions on their website and was then directed to check my email for the link to cancel (sent from Birchbox), which never arrived.  I stopped payment via my bank.

-Ipsy cost $10 per month 
...I  liked Ipsy more than Bb. They sent the samples in a makeup bag, which was different each month, and a makeup brush. The samples were relatively the same as Bb, and often one or two samples duplicated each other.  I joined Ipsy after being a Bb member off and on for several months.  I quit Ipsy only because I had several samples of the same products; but I really did like the makeup brush and makeup bags.

**Both Birchbox and Ipsy include a card with a description of the products and the discount price you’ll receive on their website.

-Allure cost $15 per month,  your first months’ box is $10. 
My first month was June and I was really impressed! I received a sea through day-glow plastic envelope/makeup bag. The items were packaged very thoughtfully, and no small sample sizes.  Eye cream, Floss lip gloss, Moroccanoil hair treatment...six items total.
The July box was Huda Beauty, really nice offering. 
Included in each monthly envelope is a small booklet with a generous description of the product, and a promo code. 
August’s offering was the last one to include the envelope/bag.  
September’s box, slightly bigger than Bb’s box, with “allure beauty” stamped on top. I was disappointed,  but the nice thing about the contents were that they were all Allure Award winning products.  Included was full size NARS lip crayon, a favorite of mine.   The downside is that the LaRoche-Posey eczema cream was truly sample sized, (perhaps because of the cost, their products are expensive, but high quality) the rest were full and deluxe sample sized.  
Allure includes a small booklet with each order with product description/review by an Allure employee why they love it, how to use, etc.  Also included are ads for jewelry to swim ware, discounted pricing or a dollar amount off from Allure.
Hope this helps...

Question 2

if you have amazon prime will it ship for free

Accepted Answer

Condé Nast does not ship all over us for free, it is $5 per box for us.  Purchasing through Amazon Prime there is not an added $5 frivolous fee since it costs the same to ship and Amazon is awesome enough to use USPS 💗

Question 3

Not getting boxes, getting charged. Con naste wont email me back. Keeps saying person is "out of office " how do I contact these people and get my box

Accepted Answer

The one time I received a defective box I received a new box and was contacted immediately. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this problem. Contact amazon as well since it’s Sponsored by them. I hope you get it resolved so you can enjoy the products. DMc
