The temperature may be rising, but the moisture in my skin is not. Your girl has been dealing with dry, dehydrated, lackluster, broken out skin for weeks. It turns out my skin doesn’t love Austin, Texas as much as I do. So this moisture packed box came at the perfect time for a refresh. The May 2022 Allure Beauty Box is full of moisture delivering products for dewy skin, plump lips, and smooth, shiny hair. Let’s peek at the products.
If you’d like to sign up for the Allure Beauty Box, feel free to use my referral code here. If not, that’s ok. Google it. It’s $23 for 6+ beauty products, at least 3 full size products, and a value of at least $100 delivered right to your door every month. New members will receive a welcome gift in their first box.
Peek inside last month’s box here.

Apto Skincare Orange Blossom Lip Balm: I will always appreciate receiving lip balm. As someone who, as I’ve said a million times, is dry from head to toe, lip balms and masks are a must. A necessity. And I’m almost out of the one I keep in the bathroom, so this is perfect timing.
I love a good squeeze tube packaging for no mess, and if I’m popping this in my purse, I don’t have to put my fingers in a jar if I’m out in the public. In 2022!? No, thank you.
The formula is thick without being goopy, leaves the lips feeling hydrated, and has a delicious creamsicle scent. (Full size in box $5)

Face:
Avant Collagen Intense Radiance Activator Serum: My skin is need of some TLC, and I think this serum treatment is perfect for the job.
Packed full of star ingredients, this serum is supposed to be firming, plumping, and smoothing.
It’s formulated with hydrolyzed collagen, one of the rare ingredients that can help firm the skin, lecithin to moisturize by forming a fatty-acid barrier over the skin’s surface, trehalose pulls water into the skin to hydrate and make skin soft and radiant, and niacinamide to calm the moisture barrier. (Full size in box $125)
Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner*: Some people don’t like toners/essences; I’m not one of those people. I love them. Any chance to get a boost of moisture/hydration is good in my book.
This formula is described as being delicate but potent. It’s a hydrating toner that is lightweight and plays well with other skincare. It will keep skin hydrated, soft, and glowy.
I’m excited to give this one a go! (Box value $3*)
Hand & Body:
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 60:* I won’t linger too much on this one, because I have spoken about this formula before.
If you’re not new here, you know how I feel about SPF. If you’re new, wear your SPF. And if you’re someone who says you don’t like how heavy SPF feels on your skin, try this one.
You might like it. The formula is really lightweight and more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen. (Box value $4*)
Ahava Mineral Hand Cream Cactus & Pink Pepper*: The day I got the May 2022 Allure Beauty Box in the mail, I just ran out of hand cream at my desk and was saying I needed to pick another up. I can’t survive with dry hands. And I am so happy I got another formula from Ahava.
The Ahava hand lotions* are lightweight on the skin but is infused with so many hydrating ingredients like: Dead Sea minerals, glycerin, and witch hazel. It leaves hands feeling silky smooth without feeling sticky.
The scent is also light and pleasant. (Full size in box $36)
[ hair ]
Verb Ghost Oil*: I’ve been paying a lot of extra attention to my hair lately, and hair oils have been a very important part of my routine.
Oils are great for adding shining and helping your strands stay smooth, but some of them leave hair feeling heavy and well … oily. The Ghost Oil* from Verb doesn’t do that. It’s thin and light. Plus, it’s great for most hair textures. (Full size in box $18)
[ Bonus ]
LatinUs Beauty Impossible Keratin Control Shampoo/Conditioner: These were bonus items in May’s box, and to be honest, I’ll be passing these products on.
The shampoo/conditioner duo are great for curly and/or frizzy hair and is sulfate, colorant, paraben, cruelty, an phthalate free.
I’m going to pass these on to my sister, since I think she’ll benefit more from them than I will! (Box value $2 each)
Total Box Value: ~$195
With the exception of that shampoo/conditioner, I am really excited to add these products into my routine. The Ahava hand cream was a perfect product to receive this month, the hair oil is going to help keep my hair shiny all summer, and the Avant serum will hopefully help my moisture barrier from the damage I have caused it recently.
