Allure June 1-4, 2010 Free Stuff Giveaway

I thought Allure only allows one prize per household, right? Is it fair to use your husband's entry to win a second Alterna prize for yourself? Now you have two of these products. :ohwell: It kind of stinks for the people who tried to win and didn't get anything. Yes, other people do the same thing to win doubles of prizes for themselves but it still doesn't make it right.

If you joined this board to do nothing but complain, go away. Life isn't fair! The rest of us are happy for the people that win, even if we don't win and they win multiples.

Seriously....if you knew half of these ppl you would "get it", If some can manage to get more than one of something we are gonna do it....not cause we are greedy, because we know someone here at the board that we can give/trade with or a friend or relative or the shut-in down the street or the nursing home down the block that would never be able to afford stuff like this...I have seen very few ppl on here that get multiples of stuff that keep them all for themselves, they are excited that they can give a nice christmas gift to their kid or family member or friends or even total strangers...I think I can safely say that alot of us are here because this stuff is FREE and we don't have alot of money...being able to give nicer things and get a lil something for ourselves to boot is most of the fun...don't judge us unless you know us...what a load of crap for your first post...

now my wings are all in a bunch...
 
Wow--just saw all this. Sorry I actually got two of something--and it doesn't happen often, which is why I mentioned it at all. I have no idea what Allure's rules are exactly, but my husband has a separate address and is a separate person. If he chooses to give me something he won, I'm taking it!
 
I was pissed cause (esp with allure, ESP in Aug) most of the time I have no idea what I am signing up for...I just know its time to sign up....and if I happen to get multiples of stuff I like I will keep it but I have got tons of stuff that I didnt like or wasn't for me or I don't need or won't use blah blah blah...and I try to make sure it goes to a good home...I sign up for other crap I know I won't use but I alway give or donate (or trade) ...I just hate when someone comes in here and "shame shame" on us cause they are jealous that they didnt get anything and they don't even know us....someone on here is almost always looking for something or a nice trade or to give away cause they dont want....like on Lovefreebies (sorry if I spelled that wrong) thread...but come on here acting like "WAAAA" and no one is gonna help you out...My first year I didn't hardly get anything from allure but ppl started talking about how to do it and when and what browsers work best and last year I got tons of stuff and made a couple of great trades with some awesome spoofettes....I didn't even sign up in june either and dont even care...but I am thrilled for the ppl who did get stuff they like....

I am freakin b!tchy today...I'm actually glad the newbie came on here acting like a dork so I would have a victim for my b!tchiness...welcome to the board...I am done now...:suspicious:
 
I have entered for Allure stuff for awhile and would rarely win anything, but then somehow I started winning things. Granted, there are people who have figured out to win every time, but that's great that they found out how to do it and congrats to them. I just only got smart the last few days of this August giveaway to sign up for a second item using my sister's address. She usually doesn't use all the stuff that Allure gives away so she said if I won anything sent to her house I could have it. I put together gift boxes for the women's shelter near me or make gift boxes for my Mom's church for them to raffle off to have the money to help people around the holidays. Before the newbie starts going off on everyone, they should see that people do use their wins to help others. Granted, I have seen on other boards people that enter everything just to win stuff to resell on Ebay or Craigslist, but I think the majority of people give their multiple wins to others.

I usually win a lot of Allure contests but in August I had nothing but computer/ISP problems and doubt that I won anything. Eventually, I just gave up because I was so frustrated! I will be looking to ebay and Craigslist to buy the high end items that I wanted to try at a price that I can afford.
I have no problems with people entering contests to sell their wins. In a sense, contests are work, honest work. If people need the money in this dreadful economy and selling their wins to help themselves, then I'm all for it.
I like to try a lot of my wins. Some I trade, some I give away, some I return for other things that I need/want. Nothing goes to waste around here!
Personally, I will be happy to see a lot of winners here. Even people that win multiples. These are the very same people that work hard to post the contests and follow up after the contests..........obtaining the winner's lists and posting them, etc.

UPS just dropped off the Alterna Overnight Hair Rescue. Can't wait to try it!
 
Lucky!! I have been dying to try it, Im thinking I did not win, but I cant ever tell because I have so much trouble with UPS delivering to me out in the boonies where I live. Let me know how it works, and if its worth the money!

I have a hard time telling too if I won something from Allure because most of the time I don't get any notification that I won or the UPS/FEDEX tracking numbers people post show I don't have anything coming to me and then suddenly it will show up at my door. I was really surprised that I got this because it looks like people were getting it a week or so before I got it. It will be awhile before I try it as I am currently using up my other deep conditioner, but I will definately let you know how it is. :)
 
Okay, thanks! Maybe mine is on the way too.. Its always a nice surprise to get something you were not expecting!
 
I was starting to lose hope but I received the Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Overnight Hair Rescue today! The box was pretty large for a small bottle so I didn't think that's what it was, at least they protected it from rattling around with the bubble mailer inside.
 
Has anyone requested the June or July 2010 winners list? I wish I had sent for the lists (I think you need to request them within 6 months of the giveaway).

The August 2010 winners list has been posted (thanks to lovefreebies), but I haven't seen any other winners lists since last May.

Thanks!

I requested all the winner's lists through Nov. 2010, but have only received Aug. Do you know if Mar or Apr 2010 lists have been posted somewhere...I saw May, but haven't seen those?

That's crappy that Allure hasn't fulfilled your requests yet. I haven't heard anything about winners lists for any months besides May and August in 2010. Maybe someone else knows more about it.
 
no wins here, thanks again lw1172
 
Thanks so much--nice to know I did receive the items I won.
