Pond's: BB Cream

I got these BB creams from my March BDJ Pond's Exclusive Box. It comes in a 25g tube and costs PHP299 each on the market.

 

It comes in 2 shades. Light and Beige.

 

 The Pond’s Institute developed Pond’s Flawless White BB+ Cream—a whitening cream and lightweight foundation in one—giving both skin care and makeup benefits. Use Pond’s BB+ Cream to achieve a flawless, no-makeup look.

 

 Light and Beige.

 Light is for those who have cool undertones.

Beige is for those who have warm undertones.

What it looks like when blended.

It has a light coverage. You can still see that dark sport on my hand.

I'm wearing the light one here. (I'm the second one from the left)

 I'm wearing the beige one here. (I'm the second one from the left)

 Both pictures were taken at dinner time without retouch but then again I start my day at noon so you be the judge.

I've tried both and I've been using it for a week now. No breakouts yet.. surprisingly. I use it together with the Pearl Cleansing Gel and the Flawless White Dewy Rose Gel which makes the BB cream easier to apply it glides through the skin. Then I use my favorite pixy foundation to seal it in. :)

I think it's a good and cheap bb cream for everyday use. :)

BDJ Box Unboxing: March: Ponds Exclusive

This is my first ever BDJ (Belle de Jour) Box. I purchased it last December and the earliest box I was able to get was already for March. That's how in demand they are! Anyway I totally forgot about it and was surprised to get a call from LBC about the delivery of the box. I had it delivered at my home province so I had to wait until the weekend before I got my hands on the box.

The contents of the box is supposed to be a surprise but since I got the call I can't help but be curious so I ended up knowing what's inside already through other unboxing posts XD.

But of course knowing and actually having the items are two different things. I was like a kid on Christmas opening her present (which technically it is my Christmas present to myself which came really late XD)

Anyhow, it's a Ponds Exclusive Box with full sized products. Wow!

Pearl Cleansing Gel 100g (PHP155) & 50g (PHP85) tubes

Total Cost of Products in the box: PHP2047

(Prices based on Zalora)

What I paid for it (BDJ Box Cost): PHP580

I haven't tried any of these products but based on the descriptions they look pretty promising. I will try them for a week (Ponds 7 day challenge) and let you know how it goes.

UPDATE: I gave most of these away except for the dewy rose gel and beige bb cream which I still use from time to time. The products would have been great except they broke me out soo.. not for me.. my mom uses them though and she seems okay with it.
