Fall in Love Again with the May Elite BDJ Box

Honestly I was really disappointed with this box. It was supposed to be an elite box with summer goodies for the month of May but we received it on June when it's already raining. Two of my friends ordered the box as well and it was their first time to try BDJ Box and probably their last. 

It's a Revlon exclusive box following Revlon's campaign of #chooselove

Box costs PHP1482. Contents are supposed to be double the value (PHP3015 in total).

Tweezer PHP150

Nail Pile PHP150

Volume + Length Mascara PHP650

Photo Ready Kajal PHP575

Eyeliner in 304 Matte Marine

Ultra HD Matte Lip Color PHP575

Matte Liptint in 615 HD Temptation

Photoready Skinlights PHP825

Highlighter in 300 Peach Light

Nail Polish in Lavander and Silver Glitter PHP250x2

Hair Color in 42R Medium Auburn PHP450

Swatches from Uppermost

Pink Sugar lip tint for comparison

Revlon matte lipstick

Sky Blue Eyeliner

Highlighter

Eyeliner and Lipstick on.

It's veerryy retro and loud and I don't see myself actually using them. It's sad that I won't even be able to use most of the contents I paid for. Probably the hair color and mascara (which I somehow misplaced). 

It has been a nice affair with BDJ Boxes. My monthly dose of surprise and cosmetics. Sadly #walangforever when expectations turn to dissappointment. This is probably my last BDJ Box as well. I think I'm moving on to Althea boxes. Something I personally picked and worth wait waiting for. :)

BDJ Box Social Glam Event

This was my first BDJ Box event. I wasn't able to join last time for some reasons. I was glad it wasn't raining yet when I left home so I was able to go this time.

Spring into Beauty: BDJ Box Items Review

I was excited to try all the items in my box so I used as much as I could for a day and here's a short review.

Bath Essentials

First I used Asian Secrets whitening Facial and Body scrub. Note that they have to be applied on dry skin so it feels a bit weird at first. They both smell nice and they contain a lot of lulur beads which help exfoliate dead skin cells and whiten skin. The facial wash contains finer beads than the body scrub but you can still feel the scrubbing effect.
After rinsing, I used the My Choice Pure Herbal Soap in Watermelon variant. The soap is like a gel with cute thingies inside. It helps protect your skin from pollution and sun damage.

After that refreshing bath, my skin feels soft and moisturized.

Foot Mask

Next I tried the Tony Moly Intense Care Snail Foot Mask. The instructions were in Hangul and I can't find one online so yeah whatever. Snail Foot Mask. Snail. Slimy. I haven't tried any product with snail extracts because I think it's gross and slimy but apparently snail extracts "contains natural acids and elastin that’ll improve appearance and protect skin from future damage" according to an article I've read.

The package contains 2 big socks like plastics.

Inside the plastic, there's a wet cloth which I assume contains the snail extracts. So be sure to put your foot inside the cloth.

And as expected, it feels slimy..really slimy.. <cringes> (~_~) Leave it for 20 minutes.

Cosmetics

While waiting, I tried another item from Tony Moly, the Luminous Glow Aura CC (Color Control) Cream.

It has a very light color but CC Creams are supposed to blend to the color of your skin

After blending

So I tried it on, it doesn't show but it has a grayish cast and doesn't really blend well with my skin color. I don't know but I think it's too light for me. I then set it with my favorite pixie foundation and applied some eyeliner and blush.

Next we have the Revlon Highlighting Palette and the FS Cosmetics Lash Extravagance Mascara.

The mascara wand looks weird, rubbery, it reminds me of a bouncy jelly bean XD Anyway I feel like I get too much product with the wand causing my lashes to clump so I think I'm giving this one away.

The Revlon Highlighting Palette on the other hand is really nice and very pigmented. Looks nice on the skin too. :)

After removing the foot mask. Just by looking at this picture you can see how slimy it was.

Finished product. See? Too light.

But it didn't stop me from taking some selfies here and there XD

 

So that's pretty much it. Again thanks to BDJ Box for these wonderful treats. ^_^
