October 2023 Allure Beauty Box

The leaves are turning colors and the air is getting crisp. Perhaps your latte has been spiced with a dash of pumpkin? During this time of transition, your skin and hair may feel a bit drier (same here), which is exactly why the October Allure Beauty Box is filled with autumnal upgrades. TPH’s scalp treatment is the first step to great hair days this season, while both Flânerie’s hydrating serum and Caudalíe’s decadent eye cream keep your skin in check. And the Best of Beauty Award-winning First Aid Beauty Anti-Chafe Stick will help your morning jog go more smoothly. Think of these additions to your routine as changes for the better — no, the best! - Paige Stables, Allure Senior Beauty Editor

New Member Gift: First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser (full size)

Why you’ll love it: Everyone’s skin needs are different, but the importance of removing your makeup before bed is a universal truth. With calming aloe, this fragrance-free cleanser turns that to-do-list item into a soothing ritual. But it’s not too laid-back — it also has the power to whisk away oil, grime, and every last speck of foundation.

How you’ll use it: Every. Single. Night. When you find a cleanser you love as much as this one, trust us: You’ll never again come up with excuses to prioritize your bed over your cleansing routine. It removes all traces of product — even mineral sunscreen — without leaving skin red or irritated.

TPH Maskin' & Relaxin' Scalp Mask (full size)

Why you’ll love it: Having this bright yellow bottle in your shower is a friendly reminder that your scalp is skin, which means it needs a deep clean in the same way you would use a detoxing face mask. This weekly treatment is infused with kaolin clay to absorb dirt and excess oil, plus aloe to soothe irritation.

How you’ll use it: After washing your hair, squeeze this goop into parted sections (the pointed nozzle helps keep it mess-free) and give yourself a quick head massage with your fingers as you work in the formula. Let it sit for three minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Says Allure’s Talia Gutierrez, “Your scalp feels fresh and invigorated, with a slight tingly sensation, thanks to peppermint oil.

Flȃnerie Vivifying Serum (full size)

Why you’ll love it: Hyaluronic acid is known as a hydration powerhouse and it’s the star ingredient in this intensely nourishing formula. With help from antioxidant-rich jojoba oil and moisturizing glycerin, your skin will stay ultrasoft. Plus, the addition of glycolic acid helps smooth away dullness.

How you’ll use it: Press this lightweight, milky-looking hydrator into your face until it fully absorbs. (And don’t forget your neck and chest.) Depending upon how dry your skin is, you may want to incorporate it into your morning and evening routines. During the day, Allure’s Gabi Thorne says, she “follows it up with a moisturizer and, of course, sunscreen.”

First Aid Beauty Anti-Chafe Stick with Shea Butter + Colloidal Oatmeal

Why you’ll love it: This stick doesn’t require any warming up (literally) before using it, and glides like a duck on water along sensitive inner-thigh skin. A layer or two of First Aid Beauty’s nongreasy formula shields skin from irritation with hydrating shea butter and soothing colloidal oatmeal.

How you’ll use it: Target areas where you experience chafing. As quickly as you swipe it on, you’ll be ready to go!

Caudalíe Premier Cru Eye Cream

Why you’ll love it: They say the eyes have it, but last we checked that didn’t include dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. To keep you looking bright-eyed, Caudalíe’s luxe cream pampers the delicate skin in this area with plumping hyaluronic acid and hydrating avocado oil.

How you’ll use it: Day and night, tap a few tiny dots — with your ring finger for the most gentle touch — under eyes and along the outer corners.

Teeez Cosmetics Suit of Armor Don’t Blush Me Blusher in Mauve (full size)

Why you’ll love it: A little bit of blush goes a long way to brighten your face. In particular, this mauve-pink powder does an excellent job of mimicking the same healthy, rosy flush you would get from a jog in the park on a brisk October day — but without the sweat.

How you’ll use it: With a fluffy brush, we like to dust it on in a W shape along cheeks and over the bridge of the nose. Once blended, the result is a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. Says Allure’s Angela Trakoshis, “a swirl of this pretty pigment melts into skin.”

Kristin Ess Oversize Scrunchie In Cheetah or Rust (full size)

Why you’ll love it: Upgrading your hair accessory can make a basic ponytail look like you made a whole lot of effort. This tie’s silky fabric is perfect for pulling hair back without creating the dreaded crease. That said, don’t underestimate the hold: Allure editors can confirm it’s sturdy enough to wear during a workout.

How you’ll use it: Loop this jumbo scrunchie around your favorite updo a couple of times for a statement-worthy style.

*Members will receive the Kristin Ess Oversize Scrunchie in either Cheetah or Rust.

Style Edit Root Concealer Touch Up Spray in Medium Blonde, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, or Auburn

Why you’ll love it: You can plan to push back your next color appointment. A spritz of Style Edit’s spray temporarily conceals grays and roots to extend time between dye jobs.

How you’ll use it: Blast this pigment along your part and hairline for just-left-the-salon color that lasts until your next shampoo.

*Members can choose between Medium Blonde, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, or Auburn while supplies lasts.
