The January Allure Beauty Box is Here, and the New Year is Looking Bright — and Dewy!
Just in time to ring in the New Year, one very bright revamp for your beauty routine is nestled in the January Allure Beauty Box. And if your New Year’s resolutions have anything to do with brighter, dewier skin or shinier, healthier hair, consider those checked off your list! We’ve packed the January Allure Beauty Box with a Christophe Robin hair serum that even our most highlighted editors are loving for healthier hair, an extra-indulgent turmeric face mask for perking up nights in and brightening skin before big nights out, and your choice of First Aid Beauty products. A happy New Year indeed!
For a limited time, new members can get their first box (a $182 value) for only $10 with the code HEART. You'll receive 6 products handpicked by Allure editors plus a FREE full size Boscia retinol treatment as a welcome gift while supplies last.
1/8New Member Gift: Boscia 0.6% Pro-Retinol Repair + Renew Waterless Advanced Treatment (full size)
Why you’ll love it: Who knew retinol could be this gentle? Boscia’s is strong enough to diminish dark spots without disrupting the skin barrier. It’s loaded with retinol and vitamin C, tried-and-true ingredients for softening lines and making skin glow. It even helped fade one editor’s stubborn acne marks and dark spots without any irritation.
How you’ll use it: Smooth a small dollop over clean skin at night once or twice a week, and then work your way up to using it more frequently. Don’t use retinol if you’re pregnant or nursing.
2/8First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA (full size)
Why you’ll love it: This body scrub is fortified with 10 percent lactic acid — a gentle chemical exfoliant that also hydrates — to smooth coarse, dry, or bumpy skin on the body.
How you’ll use it: Massage this scrub onto wet skin — using it wherever your skin’s texture is uneven — in the shower. Rinse, pat dry out of the shower, and follow with your moisturizer. Use once or twice a week.
*Members will receive one of two First Aid Beauty products based on user choice.
3/8First Aid Beauty KP Smoothing Body Lotion with 10% AHA (full size)
Why you’ll love it: Fortified with an impressive 10 percent concentration of lactic acid — a gentle chemical exfoliant that also hydrates — this lotion is great for smoothing coarse, dry, or bumpy skin on the body. If your skin is dry, bumpy, or sensitive — thanks, January weather! — soothing colloidal oatmeal and moisturizing ceramides keep the formula gentle. The combo works so well, it smoothed one editor’s small bumps (keratosis pilaris) and body acne after just two weeks and actually calmed her sensitive skin at the same time.
How you’ll use it: Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin daily wherever you’re coarse or bumpy.
*Members will receive one of two First Aid Beauty products based on user choice.
4/8Christophe Robin Regenerating Serum with Prickly Pear Oil (full size)
Why you’ll love it: Blow-dryers, hot tools, highlights — all the things we love for our hair also dry it out, which is where this silky, heat-protectant serum comes in. The silicone-free shine enhancer is excellent at preventing new split ends and hiding existing ones, while prickly pear oil and castor oil add tons of shine without weighing down even fine hair.
How you’ll use it: There’s a reason it’s called a serum — the formula feels a lot like a serum for your skin, meaning it’s not heavy and it’s easy to distribute throughout your hair. Finger-comb a few pumps on the lengths and ends of damp hair before styling or through dry hair for a quick boost of shine and an easy, polished look.
5/8Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Gel Cream
Why you’ll love it: Although vitamin C is an eternally beloved — and hyped — ingredient, a lot of products don’t deliver on its magical brightening properties. But this gel cream is a radiance-making standout. After just a few weeks of twice-daily use, the sunshine-yellow jelly made one editor’s skin plumper, more even-toned, and brighter — so much so that she often skips her usual highlighter because her skin glows on its own.
How you’ll use it: Smooth it onto clean skin — or over your new EltaMD toner — once in the morning and again before you go to bed at night.
6/8EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Toner
Why you’ll love it: Like a big vanilla latte for your skin, this toner is comforting and energizing all at once. When cold temperatures and indoor heat dry out skin, it is the antidote you need. The multitasker hydrates, makes skin remarkably soft, and fortifies your skin’s barrier with amino acids. That’s key for keeping moisture in, especially during cold winter months. As if that wasn’t enough, the light toner also contains antioxidants.
How you’ll use it: Apply with a cotton pad or with your hands to gently press into skin before the rest of your routine, morning and night. The alcohol- and fragrance-free formula is great for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone.
7/8Ciaté London Fierce Flicks Liquid Liner (full size)
Why you’ll love it: No matter your eyeliner skill level, the smooth formula and felt tip pen on this rich black liquid liner make dramatic eyes a cinch. It goes on skip-free and is easy to control, so you can define your eyes in deep black or create perfect wings or cat eyes.
How you’ll use it: Trace your upper lashes, and — if you’re feeling it — add a slight upward flick at the ends to go all in with a cat eye.
8/8Dr. Botanicals Turmeric Superfood Restoring Treatment Mask (full size)
Why you’ll love it: A skin-soothing winter ritual you can look forward to, this hydrating and antioxidant face mask quenches dry spots and helps calm blemishes while staying juicy on skin instead of drying down. The texture makes it feel extra indulgent and relaxing while brightening with curcumin from turmeric.
How you’ll use it: Smooth the mask over your entire face — it’s great for all skin types.
