Here’s a feature on how you can get the most out of antioxidants!
Everything in my box! FYI – you can see the full spoilers for the August 2021 Allure Beauty Box, in case you want to see all the variations.
Vitabrid C12 Dual Drop Serum ($18.33) This anti-aging and brightening serum is made with a blend of Vitabrid CG (a stabilized form of vitamin C) and powerful peptides. It promises to improve the skin’s complexion with continued use. It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, and protects the skin with the help of antioxidants. Another thing I like about the formula is that it gets absorbed quickly by my skin.
This is a great serum but the bottle I received wasn’t full. I already informed them about it and they’ll be shipping a replacement.
My favorite thing about this mask is that I can easily know when it’s time to remove it! This is because when I apply the wet product on my face, it dries out eventually and as it does, it reveals the MediHeal logo all over the mask. It’s great not having to worry if I’ve used the mask enough.
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner ($1.51) I also received a hyaluronic toner that alleviates dry and dull skin! I like using this product at night after washing and cleansing my face to get rid of all the makeup residue. It helps make sure everything is spotless and that the skin gets the right amount of nourishment and hydration it needs after a rigorous cleansing routine. Key ingredients include fermented rice extract and hyaluronic acid!
Beautaniq Beauty Blush Serum In Magenta Sky ($15.87) This blush serum in magenta is easily to apply and it leaves a nice pop of color without making my skin feel heavy or sticky. The formula also contains apricot fruit extract and vitamin E which deliver extra nourishment to the skin. Another thing I like about it is that the pigment is buildable and blendable.
The blush leaked from the tube and Allure will send a replacement for it as well.
RealHer Eye Am Resilient Metallic Bronze Eyeliner ($16) Another makeup product in my box is this eyeliner in metallic bronze. I love how creamy the formula is! It glides smoothly and it doesn’t tug my skin. This is great for defining lines or even for creating smokey makeup looks. I also like that it’s waterproof and long-lasting, so I don’t have to worry about my eyeliner wearing off in the middle of an important event.
111Skin Y Theorem Day Cream ($270) Formulated with hyaluronic acid and different kinds of vitamins, this cream helps repair and protect the skin while also making sure that it stays well hydrated. It also contains a proprietary formula called NAC Y2, formulated to reduce the effects of environmental aggressors.
This cream is ideally applied in the morning, after cleansing and toning the skin.
This cream was made in China. Here’s 111SKIN’s statement on their manufacturing:
As the scale of our business continues to grow we frequently transition between different suppliers depending on capacity needs. All aspects of the product including key active ingredients and componentry remain the same.
Whilst we may produce a small number of units with our longstanding Far East manufacturer for beauty box partnerships, all raw materials are sourced from our regular suppliers within Europe and the USA to ensure the integrity, efficacy, fragrance and texture of our products remain at a consistently premium quality.
A list of complete ingredients can be found on its individual box packaging. They look to be the same as the regular version. It’s truly impossible to know if any corners are cut.
It has a stopper to make sure that the cream stays safe inside the container. I like the consistency of the cream, it’s not too thick and it applies smoothly on the skin. The best thing is that it works well under makeup!
This was a pretty good curation of skincare and makeup items! However, there are problems with two of the items I received: the serum bottle which is not full and the blush that leaked from its tube. It’s a bummer, but I’ve contacted them about it and they said the will be sending a replacement (but up to six weeks delivery). It definitely makes me wonder what happened to my box and how boxes might be stored before shipping. My favorite among the curation would have to be the day cream. It helps me improve my dry skin and I also like its texture. The sheet mask and toner were pretty promising as well. I received a total of $323.7 worth of items in this box, with the day cream alone valued at $270, although as always, I think 111SKIN is overpriced!

Comments
Underwhelmed by this box.
The eyeliner went blunt during its first use.
The blush is extremely messy and hard to control. It’s okay on my lips, but needs a lot of care unless I want clown lips.
I got the Vitrabrid as my variant and the dropper bulb separated as I tried to use it the first time.
I find 111Skin to be overpriced for what it does and this one has a strong scent, which I find unpleasant.
