BDJ Box ~ Spring Into Beauty (April 2015)

Staying pretty under the harsh summer sun is tough and near impossible (you know what I mean right?).

So I was just happy to see April's BDJ box aptly titled, "Spring into Beauty".  This month's theme is all about, ensuring every Bella enjoys her beauty aura, regardless where she goes!  It was exactly what I needed.

What is inside my beauty box?

1. Tony Moly Intense Care Snail Foot Mask, 18g (P198)

An intense care snail foot mask, to moisturize and provide nutrition to your dry skin. I used my sample immediately (felt my feet needed pampering, then and there). My feet felt smooth instantly. 

2. Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Facial Scrub, 100g (P120)

Removes dead skin making it supple and smooth, giving it a radiant glow.

3.  Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub, 20ml (P15)

Exfoliates dead skin cell to reveal fairer and skin.  I think this would be perfect after a day out under the sun.

 

4. My Choice Bubble Shower Salt 2-in-1, 225g (P100)

This 2-in-1 scrub shower salt promises healthier, glowing skin with everyday use.   Smells good. This would be great for a luxurious, me time de-stressing shower.

We all know Mustela right?  Mustela products are really good (also quite expensive), unfortunately, the ones that came in the box are sampler sizes.

5. Mustela 2-in-1 Hair and Body Wash, 200ml (P520)

This one is a tear free cleanser specially formulated for babies and baby-like delicate skin. 

6. Mustela Stretch Marks Double Action, 150ml (P1750)

 The Mustela Stretch Marks product helps reinforce the skin's elasticity and stimulates skin renewal. I help prevents stretch marks, while moisturizing skin.

7. Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion, 300ml  (P790)
The Mustela baby lotion is designed for the daily use of your baby. It contains vegetable oils and vitamins E and F.


8. My Choice Pure Herbal Soap, 100g  (P55)

A cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer. It is made of all natural ingredients that helps repair skin damage, like wrinkles and acne.  

9. My Choice Anti Acne Cream, 20g (P100)

This product is made up of anti-acne ingredients for an acne free skin.  How cool is that?  I wish I knew of this back when I was an acne magnet teener.


10. FS Cosmetics Lash Extravance Mascara, 9g (P350)

I love my lashes big, bold and flirty. It make me feel sexier.
Perfect for a romantic, night out with hubby :P


11. Revlon Highlighting Palette, 7.5g (P625)

My favorite item in the box, is this Revlon Highlighting Palette.  I love Revlon products, they may be a bit expensive, but Revlon does wonders for me!

12. My Choice Perfume Spray, 22ml (P60)

My Choice Perfume has 15 different scents to choose from.  I got Romance in my box.  I have tried wearing it ones or twice and smells like sampaguita.  It doesn't last long though and would require constant re-application.

The came  with a bonus Tony Moly Luminous  Glow Aura CC Cream. It is an all-in one product that whitens skin, while providing sun protection, lotion, moisturizer and a make-up primer.

A 30ml pack cost P1098.  Too bad I only got a sampler.

Approximate box cost is P1600 (excluding sampler products), well worth my initial P580 investment.
 

BDJ - CoverGirl Exclusive (December 2014)

My December BDJ box finally came, after being delayed by Typhoon Ruby.  

I checked-out (did the usual shaking and weighing) the box and found it a tad lighter than the previous beauty boxes I have received.  

I opened my box half-hearted (wishing full instead of sampler sized products).  Lo and behold, I saw the COVERGIRL logo.

    

This month's beauty box is a CoverGirl Exclusive  - now this is what I meant by coming back, and with vengeance.  A rush of blood came rushing back my face!  This is by far the best BDJ Box I have received. Talk about saving the best to end the year.    


So here is what's inside:


1. TruBlend Liquid Makeup, 30ml (P645).  It is a liquid foundation that provides smooth full coverage for a flawless natural look.

2. TruBlend Pressed Powder, 11ml (P425).  Has a silky- smooth formula that blends beautifully with all skin tones, perfect for a natural, fresh, no make-up look.

3. Cheekers Blush, 3g (P395). A portable mini-compact blusher that gives you a natural rosy silk flush (will only be available in stores on Feb 2015).

4. Smoky Shadow Blast, 4.6g (P525). For smoky-dramatic eyes in an instant. 

5. LashBlast Fusion Water Resistant Mascara, 12g (P595). It is a super-volumizing fiber-stretched mascara formula with an oversized brush that guarantees to make your lash bigger, fuller and more dramatic. 

VERDICT:

My entire box value is over P2,500!

This box alone is so worth, my last four (4) months subscription.   

I love CoverGirl and BDJ!! 

Two words:  Awesome!  Awesome!

BDJ - Benefit Exclusive - Sweet Shoppe (November 2014)

First let me begin with a confession: "I am not a Benefit Cosmetics avid".    

I have mentioned in a previous post, that I would rather go for less known inexpensive local cosmetic's brands, meant for the Asian skin. That being said, I do not really dislike Benefits Cosmetics totally.  I just find it's price exorbitant, which I guess explains the  small sampler products included in the box.   Well it was not all bad, though, since samplers are easier to stash in your travel adventure kits.

 The box contains a selection of items from the Benefit's Sweet Shoppe, here is what's inside:

 1. It's Potent! Eye Cream, 14g (P1800).  It is an eye cream that helps restore skin's elasticity and protect it from free radicals. 

 2. Big Easy Complexion Perfector, 35ml 9 (P2000). It is a 2-in1 facial coverage that helps control oil, while keeping your face moisturized.

3. Posiebalm Hydrating Lip Balm, 3g (P1000). Posie balm helps hydrate and condition your lips, while giving it a hint of sweet pinkish glow.  


4. Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain, 12.5ml (P1700). A smudge proof and smooch proof formula for your cheeks and lips all day long.

5. They're Real! Push-Up Line, 1.4g (P1300). It is a water-proof, matte black gel eyeliner than can last up to 24 hours.

 6. They're Real Mascara, 8.5g (P1300). Jet black lash coverage, that can make your lashes gorgeously long and thick without clumping up together.


 7. They're Real! Eye Makeup Remover, 50ml (P1000). It is an eye make-up remover that cleanse without irritating your eyes.

  OTHER ITEMS

• Instant Comeback Facial Serum and Total Moisture Facial Cream. These serum and facial cream helps bring back your skin youthful and natural glow, by keeping it hydrated.

• Hello Gorgeous Voucher - Free makeupper and brow consultation at your favorite Benefit Store

HONEST VERDICT

Some of the items in this month's box were repeats of the June 2014 Box: Let the Beauty Begin!  Repeat items were the Potent Eye Cream, Big Easy Complexion Perfector and Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain.

I haven't even bothered opening the Potent Eye Cream, which means, now I have 2 unopened eye creams.


I have  finished the Big Easy Complexion Perfector in the June package and I am now using the new one (so that's good).


The June, Lollitint Lip and Cheek Stain, I have opened and used a couple of times, until my August BDJ Box came with my all time favorite, Ofra Long Lasting Lipstick.  The opened Lollitint went to my back-up, make-up kit.


Honestly,  I have not yet used most of these products.  The eyeliner, mascara, lip balm and eye make up remover are currently just hogging spaces inside my make up box (another good thing, they came in small).  

I hope December 2014 will redeem. Learn more on Beauty Boxes here:

BDJ - Skin Savers (October 2014)

I am so excited to receive my October 2014 BDJ.  I knew it was special as there were two (2) boxes. 

This month's BDJ is all about maintaining your skin's youthful glow.
And youthful, glowing skin is something we all value.   

I opened the Dial box first and was happy to get full sized Dial products: 

Dial Cleansing Pair
1. Dial Coconut Water Body Wash (473ml, Php 200)
2. Dial Coconut Water Soap (113g, Php 140 for a trio pack)

These came in so timely, as my boys' bodywash are near empty.  My boys love the smell of fresh coconut, and since these were infused with coco water I knew for a fact that it is gentle even on children's skin.  Its main ingredients Coconut water is known to be rich in antioxidants and electrolytes (simply put, keeping your skin hydrated).

The main box was as heavy as the first, which kept me excited. It contains three (3) full side products and three (3) expensive fillers (in tiny packaging).
My Choice Smooth Skin Pack
3. My Choice Spa Salt (500g, Php 100)
This one is a salt scrub packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins. 4. My Choice Hand and Body Lotion (90ml, Php 70)

6. Revlon ColorStay 16-Hour Eye Shadow Quad (1.9oz, Php 795)
Beautiful eye color that you can wear for up to 16 hours. This product promises a crease and smudge free, hence a fresh look when applied.

The expensive filler, which would have appreciated if they came in full or at least a week usable packaging (but I guess I am that lucky yet).

• L'Oreal Paris Youth Duo L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Serum (30ml, Php 1500)
  L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser X3 Anti-Aging Day Cream (50ml, Php 1500)

My best finds this month in my BDJ Box are the Dial Cleansing Pair (We have been using the Dial Coconut Water body wash and soap and my I love how smooth and moisturized it feels right after bathing) and the Dove Hair Fall Rescue treatment (I have been using this one as well, too soon to tell if its working though).

I have also been using the Yves  Rocher Zero Blemish Gel Cream.  It smells so nice at application and I was surprise it does real wonder to your face, by protecting it from blemish and shine.  It is perfect for my combination type skin.  Now, if only they came in bigger containers. 


This month's box is all worth my P580.

BDJ - Beauty Innovations (September 2014)

This month's box theme is all about new products from trusted brands: Godiva, Pond's, Cream Silk, Dove, Jergens, Beach Hut and Fanny Serrano (FS) cosmetics (this is the first time I have heard of FS makeup, but Mr.  Fanny Serrano is a trusted icon in show business, so I guess that counts).

I anxiously opened my box  and was delighted to see the contents.

What's inside:

1. Godiva Cleansing Kit
a. Whitening Facial Wash, 50ml costs P85
b. Whitening Toner, 60ml costs P60 

I am not a fan of whitening products, but I am willing to give Godiva facial wash and toner  a try.  These products promise to give gentle skin cleansing.  

2. Pond's Dewy Rose Gel, 10g costs P150

Another whitening product included in the box.  This whitening formula is infused with Rose Lumiere Serum that goes deep into the skin to lighten dark spots. It also smoothens your pores from the outside for a rosy feel and look.

3. Cream Silk Daily Treatment Conditioner, 180ml costs P134 each.  This product has 4 variants, the box came with 2 variants.
These are formulated with  Vita-boost complex that penetrate hair strands to help nourish it from within.

4. Dove Intense Repair Daily Hair Vitamins, 6ml 6 capsules pack costs P75. This hair treatment is infused with Vitamin E and botanical extract and helps lock in nourishment in your hair.

5. Jergens Moisture Pack
a. Jergen's Ultra Healing Lotion, 100ml costs 88
b. Jergen's Daily Moisture Lotion, 200ml costs P153

My mom loves Jergens.  As I child, I would recall going to my parent's room and pour a generous amount on my palm and apply it all over my body and my dolls (come on, I know you are guilty of using mommy's stuffs too).  I am so excited to have gotten these as part of my box.   I liked that now, Jergen's has a more improved formula Hydralucence Blend for deep skin hydration, Silk Protein and Citrus Extract for a more silky and smooth feel.

6. Beach Hut Clear Spray, 180ml costs P390.

This product allows a more convenient way of applying sun protection less the greasy / sticky lotion after feel  (I had an urge to go beach bumming all of a sudden, hehehe).

7. Fanny Serrano Cosmetics (FS)
a. FS Single Eye Shadow, 4g costs P150
b. FS Gel Liner, 5 ml costs P299

I am more excited about the Gel Liner as the traditional ones tend to be difficult to use and apply.  This one comes in a cheek/elegant bottle with a free applicator brush, sweet!  

Approximate value of this month's box is P1700.   With mostly full sized items from known brands, BDJ surely delivered this September.

 

BDJ Box - Luscious Locks (August 2014)

BDJ must have had me in mind for this month's beauty box concept - LUSCIOUS LOCKS  "...amazing treats to keep your mane in tiptop condition" was sure a spot on catchphrase.  

I eagerly opened my BDJ beauty box.


What's inside:

1. Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate, 30ml costs P3500.  I have been vocal in my previous reviews that simple hate sampler tube/sachet sized items and consider such as freebies and doesn't add up to the value of the box.  I moved on the next item.

2. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Shine. 4g costs P350.  I adore Revlon and I was truly happy to get this in my box. However, my excitement turned sour as I tested the shade I got was not my color (bummer...!)

3. Fan Di Fendi Blossom, 30ml costs P2850.  Three (3) tiny sachet packs, another freebie. Again this item doesn't warrant a review at all. Next item please.

I was begining to wonder where are my hair products.  This is after all a Luscious Locks themed box.  

4. Garnier Color Naturals, 100ml costs P199. I love that it has olive oil extract to help nourish hair as you color, as hair dyeing would often leave your hair dry and rough. Unfortunately, however, the shade I got is a tad too light for the color I normally use. It was good my mom was all too happy to receive this special gift from BDJ.

5. L'Oreal Professional Mythic Oil Nourishing Masque, 200ml  costs P1,095. This hair masque is enriched with Argan Oil and Cotton Seed Oil that helps balance your hair's natural oil levels and nourish hair from roots to tips.  

6. L'Oreal Professional Mythic Oil, 125 ml costs P995. Active components are Avocado and Grape Seed Oil that helps nourish hair and leaves it shiny and supple.

These L'Oreal products are this BDJ box' saving grace for me.  I would have wept hard like a kid who received an unwanted toy, if not for these L'Oreal products.
I have been using the Mythic Oil since I got it and I am honestly loving the results.  Smells wonderful on my hair and leaves it shinny and healthy looking.

The avocado oil contains proteins and vitamins such as A, D. E and B6, as well as magnesium, folic acid, amido acids, copper and iron helpful in hair growth and nourishment. Grape seed oil, meanwhile, helps the hair grow faster and moisturizes the hair and scalp, helpful in dandruff treatment.

7. Blo (Blow-Dry-Bar) vouchers - 20% off any of blo's 7 signature hairstyles with free deep conditioning treatment. I have heared about Blo -Dry-Bar and it got I me excited, until I saw the vouchers are valid Mondays-Thursdays only.  Meaning I would need to skip work to use it. 

Beauty boxes are fast becoming a hit and miss.   I hope they pick up fast soon to sustain subscribers' interest.
