BDJ Box Elite: November: Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful by Pink Sugar

This is my first elite box from BDJ which happens to be a Pink Sugar exclusive which is a new brand that just launched this year as far as I know.

Sugar, Spice and everything Nice..
These are the ingredients to make the perfect little girls (powerpuff girls)

The box contains a bb cream, concealer, powder, blush, eye palette, eye liner, 2 lippies and 1 lip tint. It also contains cards which gives you tips on how to use the products.

It would have been a complete kikay kit if they added a brow liner, mascara and a cute make up pouch. But nonetheless it's a really sweet deal.

It's Awesome BB in Beige
30g for PHP499
Here’s your perfect product when you’re in a rush every day! Pink Sugar BB Cream is a wonderful multitasker that’s ideal for daily use. It moisturizes, smoothens, and corrects your skin, thanks to its Green Tea extract, Aloe Vera, antioxidants, and SPF 25.

Yay! BB cream! I love BB creams and it's my shade too. It doesn't have a grey cast. It dries quite fast so you have to be quick applying it.

Although I noticed it shimmers when I swatched it. I was afraid I'll be a shining shimmering vampire in the sun when I put it on but I didn't. Maybe the powder balanced it. So far I didn't get any zits from using this which is a good sign.

Sugar Tint in Pink Paradise
9g for PHP349
Multitask with Pink Sugar Lip and Cheek Tint and achieve perfectly pigmented cheeks and hydrated lips. Long-lasting and versatile, the Lip and Cheek Tint is formulated with Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera, and Vitamins A, C, and E. 

It is really pigmented, dries out matte and long lasting. It feels and looks thick or maybe I just put on too much.

HD Lipstick in Instinct 
3.4g for PHP299
Have kissable lips with Pink Sugar HD Lipstick!
With just one swipe, get high-intensity color that lasts. Formulated with Vitamin E and Shea butter, the HD Lipstick glides on your lips like a dream, while keeping them lusciously soft and moisturized. 



Creamy Matte Lipstick in Royals
3.4g for PHP349
Dare to go bold with Pink Sugar Creamy Matte Lipstick. With 10 semi-matte shades, you’re sure to find one that suits you. It adds drama to every pout without drying out your lips, due to its Vitamin E and Shea Butter content.



The lippies are very pigmented. I got colors which I wouldn't usually buy so it's nice to try these for a change.

Honey I'm Good Eye Liner Duo
1.2g for PHP349
Define your eyes in no time with Pink Sugar Honey I’m Good Eyeliner Duo. It features a retractable pencil tip on one end and a felt tip on the other. These 2 eyeliners make everyday eyeliner application smudge-proof and hassle-free.

Perfect your day-to-night look with the Pink Sugar Eyeshadow Palette, which offers 10 glorious matte and shimmer shades that’s professionally curated, so you can mix and match to create endless looks. It comes with a dual-ended applicator for on-the-go use.

My initial reaction was WOW! it's soo pigmented. It doesn't easily wipe off so it should be long lasting.


Sweet Cheeks HD Color 
6g for PH349
The Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color, a delicate powder formula, has a flattering range of shades to complement every Filipina’s skin tone. Neatly packaged in a mirrored compact, complete with a soft brush, it has been infused with Aloe Vera and Vitamins A, C, and E to nourish skin.

I'm wearing everything here with the pink paradise lip tint.

here I'm wearing the hd lipstick in instinct plus everything else.

Total cost of products is PHP3691. I paid around PHP1500 for the box so I got more than double my money's worth. Overall I'm happy with this elite box from pink sugar. I can actually use the shades I got and all of the products are really pigmented and of good quality. The packaging is pretty sleek too. Good Job Pink Sugar!

Don Day by Day Don Don Don

Don Day offers a buffet of Korean BBQ and other Korean dishes. It has 4 branches I think but we tried the one at Quezon Avenue near BIR RDO 40.

For PHP499, you get unlimited Buffet Food, Samgyupsal (Pork) and Woosamgyup (Beef) BBQ.
Food available at the buffet table. You can also opt to just get the Buffet Food and Samgyupsal (Pork) for PHP399 or the Buffet Food only for PHP299.


My friends say the carbonara was good.









I didn't really taste much of the food in the buffet table. I just frequent the section for the Korean BBQ side dishes, sauces and wraps. 



Good thing we have a designated cook per table, (we can focus on eating) XD 

I assume the couple running around owns the place. They were very hands on and ajumma was even teaching us how to enjoy korean bbq. 


I always enjoy Korean bbq. I like wrapping the meat in lettuce leaves with a bit of kimchee and their special sauce. 
We were 5 in the table, 4 girls and the cook. We were 2nd to the last to quit eating. I can't even count how many plates of woosamgyup (beef) we ate.

You pay separately for ice cream and drinks.


additional PHP50 for unlimited iced tea


Team Matcha cheat day XD
