BDJ - Bioderma: Laboratoire Dermatologique (June 2015)

I have been saying time and time again, how I hate sampler sized products in beauty boxes.  Why bother with products are too small to test, to say if they work or not.

June's BDJ is light weight ~  that I was no longer surprised to see how small the contents were. 

I understand that Bioderma is an expensive product, but packing  samplers for subscribers is so disappointing.

Will not say anything more, just check out these pictures to see for yourself.

The box' lone saving grace is this The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain (P795).  I was glad it was there. I took it, placed in my make-up kit and tossed the rest.

BDJ - Kiss Dry Goodbye (May 2015)

 

I love this month's BDJ Box, and what is not to love? 

 

Like the previous months' beauty boxes, BDJ May box is full and heavy packed with products to keep me beautiful.

 

 

 

The box contains body nourishing products, such as: 

 

 

 

1. Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream with SPF19/PA+++ (that was a mouthful), 50ml costs ~ P265

 

 

2. Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Brightening Scrub, 50ml costs ~ P84

 

 

 

Garnier promises fairer skin with consistent use.  My mom loves whitening products, so she got these loots to go :P. 

 

 

 

3. Colgate Optic White Plus Shine, 100g costs ~ P115 (the box contains 2 packs)

 

We use Colgate at home, I have seen this product line during grocery shopping and have been wanting to try it.  I am happy I got them as part of my box.

 

The Colgate Optic White, whitens teeth by exfoliating teeth stains.

 

4. Aloe Derma Pure Aloe Vera Gel, 45g costs ~ P280

 

This is a multi-purpose gel, that helps protect your skin from dryness and irritation. It promises effective skin repair caused by sun damage such as sunburns.  I can't wait to try this out.

 

 

5. Nivea 3in1 Exfoliating Wipes, 20sheets costs ~ P140.

 

It is an on the go facial exfoliating wipes.  I have been using this product for sometime now and I can attest, how well it works in cleaning my face.  My mom, had her eyes set on this loot though and It was hard to say no.

 

 

5. Assorted Dermal Mask (3 sets) costs ~ P70 each.

 

Another product that is part my beauty regiment are dermal masks.  The Dermal Mask contains nutritional active ingredients to nourish skin and give it the perfect glow you want.

 

6. Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion, 85g costs ~ P675

 

 

I got two (2) mini tubes of Ultra Hydrating Lotion ~ for use head to toe use.  This product is very promising, but sad to say the mini tubes, will obviously not go far.

 

 

7. FS Powder Blush, 6.2g costs ~ P350.

 

I have tested Fanny Serrano (FS) cosmetics before and they are comparable to imported brands. It contains Vitamin E for added hydration.

 

 

The box also contains the following sampler sachet:

 

Cure Natural Aqua Gel, 250ml costs ~ P1500.  This gel gently exfoliates and clean skins' dead cells.

 

 

Pure Savon Rose Blend Scent & Classic Floral White/Lily Scent, 300ml costs ~P545. This body wash promises smoother skin. 

 

 

Himawari Dear Beaute' Oil in Shampoo and Conditioner, 500ml costs ~ P695. This shampoo and conditioner brand contains oil to bring back moisture into your hair.

 

 

This month's box estimated cost is P1400+ is so worth my P580 subscription.  Boxes starting August 2015, are priced higher at P1480, but promises double the price paid for.

BDJ -All Things Kawaii (January and February 2015

What is Kawaii?

 

KAWAII is Japanese for "radiant face"

It is all about being lovable, cute and adorable!

 

I was so happy to receive BDJ's first beautybox for 2015, simply titled "Kawaii".

 

 

Just look at these loots!

 

I am so loving this box.  Everything in it is full sized :P

  

Here is what's inside:

1. Sunkiller Perfect Strong Plus, 30ml (P495)

Just perfect for the coming summer month! It has super UV-blocking abilities that stays on skin longer. It is also waterproof and sweat proof.  So awesome this product. Can't wait to give it a try.    

L-R:  Sunkiller 1. Perfect Sunblock, 2. Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Age Care, 3.Lucido-L-Styling Milk Airy and 4. Lucido-L-Treatment Oil Perm.

2. Bifesta Cleansing Lotion Age Care, 300ml (P419)

I have heard of this product before and I am happy to get a sample to test before actually buying.  This product boasts as being the first water based make-up remover. It is gentle on skin and helps boost skin repair. 


3. Lucido-L Styling Milky Air, 70ml (P295)

Another product I have been hearing of lately is Lucido-L, another brand I have been wanting to test.  Lucido-L Styling Milk Air is a leave on hair treatment, for conditioning and styling hard to manage mane (like mine). I am so using this one.  I also love that it comes in a fruity floral fragrance.

4. Lucido-L Treatment Oil Perm, 50ml (P295)
The Lucido L Treatment Oil in an overnight hair treatment for permed and colored hair, to keep it soft and curly.  


I was also happy to see a BDJ box returning product, Pixy. 

T-B: 5. Pixy Blush-on and 6. Pixy Eye Shadow

5. Pixy Blush-on, 3.5g (P345)
6. Pixy Eye Shadow, 2.8g (P315)

 

This brand, I have tested before.  It is easy to apply and blends well with my skin tone.  It is also handy and chick. However, it doesn't last very long and would need constant retouch about every 3 hours.

 

L-R: 7. Pixy Coverlast and 8. Pixy Two Way Cake Fit

5. Pixy Coverlast, 10g (P325)

Pixy promises a long lasting powder foundation with Coverlast, that hides blemishes, for a smooth and even look. It also controls oil and shine.  I think I am going to try this first.

6. Pixy Two Way Cake Fit, 12.5g (P275)

Another Pixy item in the box is Pixy Two Way Cake Fit.  You can use it wet for more coverage or dry for a more natural look.  This product contains squalane, found to keep skin soft and supple.


VERDICT

BDJ continues to impress.   I am really happy with the items I got.  This month's box total costs three times the subscription cost I paid for.  No wonder BDJ boxes are always sold out.
