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.

Sunshine & Citrus ~ Stylish and Functional bags at affordable prices

My weakness fab bags and shoes! 

I used to come to work in coordinated shoes and bags to go with my outfit, the look was great, but admittedly costly. 

One thing mamaness thought me, "You don't have to carry a designer bag to look cool.   Bags can still be classy and functionable and not hard on your budget". 


Just look at this stylish bucket tote bag from Sunshine and Citrus  with just the right size for grab-and-go mamas.

  

 

 

Milaflor ~ Houndstooth Collection

 

 

 

It has a spacious compartment that can fit your essentials, perfect for casual events, malling and date nights.



Oh and there are so many designs to choose from: carefree teenagers, young professionals and pretty-prety mama's (yup like me :P ). 

L-R: Andrea, Milaflor Nautical, Martha Floral and Ady

 

 Trendy right?  

 

Here is some good news:

Sunshine & Citrus  offers an opportunity to start your own bag business. For as little as Php 5,000, you get 15 pieces of bags (Choose among Ady, Martha, Milaflor, and Andrea bags) that you can use to start your own biz.

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.
