BDJ Box Elite: December: Because you're worth it by L'oreal

This month's BDJ Box Elite is an exclusive from L'oreal. 

Revitalift V-Shaper Instant Shaping Essence PHP999
I gave this to my mom because I don't know how to use it and I think she needs it more XD

Magic Blur Instant Smoother Anti-Aging Eye Cream PHP500
I use this sometimes it's like an oily BB cream.

Total Repair Shampoo (PHP60), Conditioner (PHP60) and Deep Repair Mask (PHP19)

Lip Gloss PHP500

The applicator was unique. It's shaped like a bud but flat. But basically the same as the usual applicators just bigger.

False Lash Butterfly Mascara

Again the wand shape is different. Slightly curved and with the tips varying in length (going shorter from  left to right)

Pink Nail Polish

My thoughts? I'm still hung up on the Celeteque exclusive box that I missed and honestly I would trade this for the celeteque box anytime. :( I know it's not fair to compare the two but I didn't really get to use most of these items.

May 2015 BDJ Box Review

These are the items I got from my May BDJ Box. I've been quite busy so it took me some time before I actually got to use these products. Disclamer: Well these are actually just first impressions rather than an in depth <big word XD> review.


The first product I've tried was the  Aloe Derma Pure Aloe Vera Gel. It's the first time I've seen the product so I was curious.
I smelled it and it heavily smells of plastic so I was turned off and gave it away to my sister.
Then I saw her applying it because she told me it's good for insect bites and it so happened I had these rashes which were very itchy. The moment I applied it, I was instantly relieved. It felt good and soothened the itching. It made me think if I should take it back but meh XD. The smell is almost neglible when you apply it.

The next thing I tried was the Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream with SPF19/PA+++.
It smells nice and I think it should be used as a day cream but I used it the other night just because. It's light and not as oily as other creams but I noticed something like a grayish cast probably because of the spf content so I was glad I didn't use it on day time.

Next is the Nivea 3in1 Exfoliating Wipes. I like this better than the other variant. This one is for oily/impure skin <i have super oily skin..figures>
 It has two sides <obviously>.
The soft side is for cleansing and removing make up which works really well as you can see below.
 yuck >_<

The peeling side is used for exfoliating.

This one is the other variant. It's not included in the box but I got it during the nivea sale.
 This one is for dry and sensitive skin.
It's good to moisturize your skin but if you're like me with oily skin the other one is better. I love bringing it during travels. Very handy and easy to use for freshening up. I just wish it had more sheets inside.


Colgate Optic White. I tried the diamond white thing before too which works really well. The paste is blue, and blue is whiter than white so I think it creates the impression of a whiter teeth. This one is more like the normal toothpaste. Too early to tell results.

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Brightening Scrub. It's foamy with a few scrubbing beads. It leaves the skin squeaky clean and whiter in just one wash. Unfortunately not the 'healthy white' I'd like it to be but the 'you have too much powder on your face' white. Probably because the rest of my body was still tan.

Dermal Masks. I was supposed to use the brightening one but since the garnier facial scrub already did it's job, I used the nutrition-moisturizing one instead.
I've only ever used watson's collagen mask and the freebies I got when I shopped at myeongdong which smells really nice.
This is me looking like a zombie with the facial mask. It has a cooling effect and only has a subtle smell.

I know I said these would go into my travel pouch but I was curious so I talked myself into using at least one of the body wash. I used the Rose Scented <pink> one. A little goes a long way and it smells like well.. roses.

FS Powder Blush. Haven't used it yet.

Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultrahydrating Lotion. I can't bring myself to use them because they're too cute. XD

Cure Natural Aqua Gel. This one I'm planning to use the next few weeks. 

I'll update once I've used the rest of the products.

Kiss Dry Goodbye! May BDJBox Unboxing

Kiss Dry Goodbye! Keep Shining Beautiful One! is BDJBox's theme for the month of May 2015. The last box of my 3 month subscription. :(

So what do have here? Another box full of goodies ^_^

Mostly they are hydrating and whitening items which will help you recover from the effects of summer.

Colgate Optic White in 100g tube PHP115x2
Well there is the word whitening? and shine? XD 

Aloe Derma Pure Aloe Vera Gel 45g PHP280
First time I've seen it. Smells like glue if you smell it from the tube.

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream with SPF19/PA+++ 50ml PHP 265
phew.. that was a mouthful. 

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Brightening Scrub 50ml PHP84

Lightening products from Garnier just what I need. I'm excited to try them.

Nivea 3in1 Exfoliating Wipes 20sheets PHP140
I have the cleansing variant of this which I find convenient bringing during travels.

FS Powder Blush 6.2g PHP350
I was quite disappointed with the color but we'll see how I can work with it.

Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultrahydrating Lotion
I can already see them in my travel pouch.

Dermal Masks PHP70 x 3
I love masks!

Pure Savon Body Wash and Himawari Shampoo and Conditioner
These will go to my travel pouch as well hoho.

Cure Natural Aqua Gel
I've seen this somewhere before. It's 90% water but it has good reviews and considering the price tag for something 90% water I'm really cure-ious.



The total amount of full sized items was PHP1559. I don't think adding the price of samples will reach the usual 2k mark though. Nonetheless these are really good products I would like to try and I'll probably write a separate review blog like last time. :)
