The August 2018 Allure Beauty Box: See All the Product Samples You'll Get This Month

It’s been a zillion degrees in New York lately, and the sweltering subway platforms are something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. The silver lining: When you use a new eyeliner on the A train in a heat wave, you learn what it’s really made of — and Eyeko’s slim liquid pen is made of strong, smudge-proof stuff. On another day our executive beauty director skipped styling products to see how well Nexxus Keraphix shampoo and conditioner would stand up — all on their own — to the wilting heat. She made it through her commute and three meetings without any frizz. Hopefully, you’ll be enjoying these products from the August Beauty Box on summer days that are more balmy than sweltering — but if not, know that we’ve got you covered.
