Allure Summer Beauty Box 2013!
Above is my opening video of the Allure Summer Beauty Essentials Box 2013 :) Feel free to like and subscribe to my videos. The Allure box is a seasonal box and this one was all together $53 including taxes and shipping for over $300 worth of beauty products! I am going to post all the products I got and a total at the end to see if I got my moneys worth. Leave me comments if you would like specific reviews on products and I will gladly post a video and blog post. Also I am posting Amazon links to the products :)
Enjoy!

Nail Products
Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Dry and Go Drops. These are drops are supposed to be used to drop over wet polish and dry it in 60 seconds which is convenient for everyone.  Retail: $3

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in the color Fiery Island. You get 7 benefits in this bottle which include a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color, topcoat and chip resistant formula. Retail: $1.24

Sation Nail Lacquer in the color Love At First Byte. I received this color in my Ipsy April Bag and I am putting a picture of the 2 bottles underneath. They are the same color but look slightly different. The Ipsy one is on the left. I am not a fan of the color but will wear it to try it out. Retail: $5
                                                                             Polish
Butter London Nail Lacquer in Bit Faker. This color is a beautiful coppery gold sparkle that I am excited to try out. This might be good to layer over my Sation polish. Retail: $14
Makeup Products
Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in Black. This is long lasting and waterproof which is perfect for summer! I usually only use liquid liner but after swatching this and seeing how smooth it was and the color payoff was intense! I am defiantly throwing this in my pool essentials! Retail: $15

Burt's Bees lip gloss in the color Spring Splendor. This is a pretty raspberry pink color that is great for layering over lipsticks. It did feel a bit sticky when I tried it out which is why I am not a fan of lip glosses. This is made from natural products which is nice as well. Retail: $8.99

Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm SPF 20. This Lip Balm is tinted with a rosy pink color and made my lips feel really smooth. It helps lips feel and look better with continuous use and even after it is take off. Retail: $8.99

Face Products:
There are 2 pictures because I realized I forgot products in each picture and was too lazy to get them all together for one photo.
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser. I will be giving this product to my sister since I only exclusively use Proactiv. This cleanser is good for sensitive skin and removes 99% of dirt, oil, and makeup withing stripping the skin's natural moisture. Retail: $8.99

Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture SPF 15. I am very excited to try this product out as I just ran out of my normal day time moisturizer. This moisturizer delivers pure, clean hydration for healthy, moisturized skin and is 100% free of alcohol and fragrance. Retail: $11.99

 Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser. This removes surface oils, dirt and makeup and is also good for sensitive skin. I will be giving this to my roommate to use. Retail: $23.52

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel  Oil Controlling Towelettes. This has 20 individual towelettes and are perfect for on the go travel and to throw in a pool or day bag. I used one since I ran out of toner and I could see some of my leftover makeup on it which is good but it was a bit drying even though it claims it is not. Retail: $5.76

Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make Up Remover Pads. These are 30 pads that have gentle cleansers and added vitamins that softly remove makeup with no irritation. These would also be perfect for travel and to throw in a pool bag. Retail: $5.99

Body Products:
BCBGMAXAZRIA Bon Chic perfume. This is a blend of bold natural scents. This smells like self tanner mixed with other weird scents. I like the bottle but hate the scent and won't wear it. Full Size Retail: $50.00

Sally Hansen Zero Bumps Bikini Spray. I am super duper excited to try this out for summer! This is a vanilla scented spray that sprays from all angles and reduces bumps and irritations and in grown hairs caused by shaving! Retail: $7.98

Self Tanning Products
TanTowel Original Self Tanning Towelette for Face and Body.  I am excited to try these out because I am curious to see how the towelettes work. There are 5 in the box and you need 2 to cover your whole body which makes me wonder why they didn't just include 6 in the box. I hope they don't smell too strong. Retail: Full Box of 10: $25.25

Neutrogena MicroMist Sunless Tanning Spray. This is another self tanner I am excited to try. It is in the shade Medium and gets your skin 2 shades darker! It sprays a continuous spray from all angles and doesn't need to be rubbed in which is really nice. It also only takes 2 hours to develop. Again I hope this doesn't have a strong spray. Retail: $11.38

Hair Products
Clear Scalp and Hair Beauty Therapy Total Care Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner. These smell so good! These products guarantee stronger hair in 7 days which is nice! I have used a sample of these and really liked them. Retail: $5.79 each.

GKHAIR Leave in Spray. This stuff looks and smells fancy and nice. It is fortified with Juvexin and protects hair while moisturizing and repairing split ends leaving a soft smooth finish. Smell great! Retail: $22

Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil. This is an ultra light formula that instantly conditions hair without weighing it down to help smooth the hair. Perfect for summer humidity! Retail: $6.99

Nexxus Youth Renewal Rejuvenating Elixir. This is a leave in treatment that helps rebuild hair's strength in 7 days! It battles limp volume, dryness, and dullness. Retail: $14.49

RedKen control addict 28 high control hairspray. This smells like a classic hairspray. This is Redken's highest hold hairspray and keeps your style for 24 hours! No visible flaking, fast drying, and easily brush able without feeling stiff! I will defiantly be seeing if this is true. Retail: $13.49

Pureoplogy Colour Stylist Supreme Control Maximum Hold Zero Dulling Hairspray. Now that is a mouthful! This cares for colour treated hair and finishes with maximum hold and extra shine. I do not have color treated hair but I will see if it still works for me. I don't see why it wouldn't. Retail: $20.49

Redken Extreme Anti Snap Leave in Treatment. This stuff DOES NOT smell nice. But it is supposed to be forumulated with protein to fortify the cuticle to reduce breakage and minimize split ends so I will definatly be trying it out. It also provides heat protection which is nice. Retail: $29.99

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Hair Cream. This smells yummy! It is a cream that you scrunch through your hair to give you sexy, tousled waves with a matte finish for a real surfer girl look! You can also use it on damp hair and dry with a hair dryer for extra waves! Retail: $8

Tresemme Platinum Strength Strengthening Heat Protect Spray. This is to spray on hair before heat styling and it protects hair against the damaging effects of heat and against breakage, dryness, and frizz. Retail: $5.69

I paid $53 for my box and received about $305 worth of full sized products! This was an amazing deal and can't wait to snap the fall box!
