Allure Reader Exclusive: Your first box is only $20 (with code ALLUREVIP), but it's worth over $210!
With longer days on the horizon (thank you, summer solstice!), I’m feeling energized and ready to take on all that this season has to offer. For me, that means sweaty days in the sun with plenty of SPF, picnics in the park sardine-style, and sweltering subway platforms. And you know what? I’ll gladly take it all—even the citywide sidewalk stink!—if it means I won’t have to wear a jacket for the next few months. I’m also welcoming a much-needed routine refresh, which includes some of the products you’ll find in the June Allure Beauty Box. For my freshly dyed (and dry) blonde strands, I’ll need the hydrating hair mask, the clay-based face mask to clear out clogged winter pores, the floral-forward hair and body mist for freshening up on the go, and more. Warmer weather, right this way!
New Member Gift: DIBS Beauty Go To Glossy Balm
Why you’ll love it: It’s a balm! It’s a gloss! It’s…both? This double-duty product gives lips the best of both worlds—it nourishes and adds shine—in one quick swipe. You'll receive one of four great glimmering shades: Italian Soda (sheer pink), Kiss Me Quick (peach), Rock Candy (baby pink), or MIMS (warm mauve).
How you’ll use it: Slide the silky formula onto lips using the cushion-y doe-foot applicator for a reflective—not sparkly—finish. Wear it solo or atop your favorite liner.

Member Choice: First Aid Beauty After-Shower Nourishing Body Oil, Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer, Brightening Micro Powder Exfoliant, or KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA in Fresh Strawberry
Why you’ll love it: Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the most impact. That’s certainly the case with FAB’s skin- and body-care products, which are fit (and formulated) for sensitive types. You chose one of these four full-size heroes to receive in this month’s box: a silky body elixir; a glow-inducing, powder-to-foam exfoliator; a body scrub that smells more farmstand than pharmacy; or a coddling face cream. You can’t go wrong, no matter which option you selected.
How you’ll use it: Depending on your product pick, you’ll either slough off dead skin cells, wash them away, or hydrate your skin back to health. The choice is, quite literally, yours.
Retail Price: $28-$36
Luna Nectar Futurize Botanical Retinol Alternative Boosting Serum
Why you’ll love it: Not every face can tolerate the power of retinol, but most can appreciate its more sensitive, skin-friendly alternatives, like bakuchiol. The plant-based ingredient is packed into this serum to help target fine lines and smooth texture, just like the vitamin A derivative.
How you’ll use it: At night, after cleansing, pat three drops onto skin (forehead to neck), followed by moisturizer. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen the next morning!

Aceology Here We Glow Berry Mask
Why you’ll love it: This berry yogurt look-alike may not be edible, but it certainly offers impressive antioxidant perks, just like the juicy fruits. Made with kaolin to deep-clean and five different berries to fight free-radical damage (wrinkles, dark spots), this face mask gives tired skin a boost, leaving it with a soft radiance.
How you’ll use it: Slather onto freshly cleansed skin, making sure to apply it evenly from the forehead to chin. Then grab a spot on the couch, catch up on your favorite feel-good show, and welcome your new glow (after 20 to 30 minutes).

L'Atelier Coeur de Pétales Travel Hair & Body Mist
Why you’ll love it: If you’ve ever been to Paris, you’ve likely strolled through the lush Jardin du Luxembourg. If you haven’t, a spritz or two of this flowery fragrance (with notes of rose, violet, and jasmine) will instantly transport you to the iconic garden's sprawling flowers and fruit trees.
How you’ll use it: Wherever you’re heading, toss this tiny bottle into your bag to spritz on the go.

Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam or Clear Jelly Mask
Why you’ll love it: You’ll receive either Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam or Clear Jelly Mask—two standouts designed to upgrade your hair routine. Sculpting Foam delivers airy texture, volume, and body, while Clear Jelly Mask deeply hydrates and boosts shine with a lightweight formula that leaves hair soft and glossy.
How you’ll use it: If you receive Sculpting Foam, shake well, dispense upside down, and apply evenly to damp hair before styling for added volume and definition. If you receive Clear Jelly Mask, apply to clean, damp hair after shampooing, leave on for 5–15 minutes depending on your hair’s needs, rinse thoroughly, then follow with conditioner if needed.
Retail Price: $10-$15
Davids Hydroxi Whitening + Enamel Health Peppermint toothpaste
Why you’ll love it: Who says oral care can't also be chic care? Davids' mint green tube is filled with SLS-free peppermint paste that makes the twice-daily chore of brushing your teeth look and feel a little more elevated.
How you’ll use it: After flossing, twist off the top and squeeze a pea-size dollop onto your toothbrush—then brush your teeth. Follow with a swish and a swirl of your favorite mouthwash.
