Unboxing July BDJ Box (Prepped and Polished)

My July BDJ Box has arrived July 27 and yet I'm posting it just now! Blame it to our slow internet connection + malfunctioning desktop computer. :'(

This month's box is my last box subscription. BDJ Elite Box which they are offering starting August is beyond my reach. Too expensive for a non-working wife like me. I can only wish for someone who has generous heart and wallet to give me one. Hehehehe. Actually my husband gave me money enough to subscribe for August Elite Box, it's his early Birthday give for me daw since I'll be celebrating my birthday this August 23, but lo and behold it was already SOLD OUT when I visited the website last July 10. :'( I'm so sad. 

Anyway, back to our July box, this box aimed each Bellas whose always in a hurry to be prepped and polished in a short amount of time. I've read a lot of un-boxing posts about this box and I've noticed that it has mixed reviews. Some like it and some considered it a so-so. But because I haven't tried most of the products included I'm quite excited and ecstatic to received it. 

Here's what inside the box. 

Dove Oxygen & Nourishment Shampoo, 180ml (Php 115)
Dove Oxygen & Nourishment Conditioner, 180ml (Php 115)

Good thing these was included in the box because I'm running out of my current Shampoo and Conditioner. I have tried different variants of Dove shampoo, but my all-time favorite is the pink variant because it smells so nice.  

FS Lucious Lipstick, 4h (Php 299)

I noticed that the last 3 boxes has FS product in it. I still haven't used the ones that I've got. Thinking of giving it away for Christmas. I might include this. hahaha.

Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar, 28g (Php 441 / 127g)

I tried Cetaphil cleansing bar before (it comes as a freebie from cleansing lotion that I bought for my niece) and I find it nice and gentle, so I'm happy to have these included.

Canmake Nail Polish, 3.8g (Php 330)

 I prefer if I got a different color. I find it too bright. I like neutral colors the most.

Carmex Tube Lip Balm, 10g (Php 110)
Carmex Click Stick Lip Balm, 4.25g (php 110) 

 I always have dry and chapped lips so a lip balm is a staple in my kikay kit. I haven't tried this brand so I'm excited to use it.

Celeteque Cleansing Oil, 50 ml (Php 199)

Celeteque is one of the brand that I trust. I got tons of Celeteque products in my kit and I'm pretty satisfied with them. I hope this one delivers too.

V 10 Plus Serum, 2 ml  (Php 4,750 / 30 ml)

 This is the first time I saw this product and I'm trying to find reviews about this.

 Benefit They're Reak Mascara, 3 g (Php 1300 / 8.5 ml)

The first time I tried this mascara was just 3 weeks ago, when I used my Free Make-Upper coupon I got from BDJ Box Beauty Boot Camp last June. I loved that it doesn't smudge and didn't turn me into a panda (if you know what I mean), but the curls doesn't stay long. 

FREE Makeupper and brow consultation voucher. I got another one. I'll be using this on my birthday. hahaha. :)

There's also the usual Stick It and Share Promo and The Take The BDJ Box #PreppedandPolished Promo. Winner from each promo will win a package from Carmex, V 10 Plis and Dove.

Unboxing: June BDJ Box - Bioderma

Hello Guys! It's BDJ Box un-boxing time once again! But truth be told I'm not that excited to open this box. Why? Because I saw some posts saying that the contents are all in sample size and that took the excitement away :'(

Let's start unboxing. Unlike the 4 previous boxes (January - May Box), June BDJ box is a bit smaller. It's because everything is in smaller container and it'll be a waste to use the big box that we're used to. 

Bioderma collaborated with BDJ for this month's box. 

A pioneer since the 1970s, BIODERMA has acquired expertise by placing biology at the service of dermatology. BIODERMA's approach involves reactivating the skin's natural resources to help it resist and recover its normal functions, which are those found in healthy skin. BIODERMA has always sought to reconcile perfect effectiveness and better tolerance for each skin types and condition. (from bioderma.com)

Here's what inside the box. 

Sensibio Tonique  (10ml; approx P 66.32) Actual value: P 1,658 / 250ml 

The soothing active ingredients calm and decongest the epidermis, while the moisturizing agents improve comfort. The patented natural D.A.F. complex raises the skin's tolerance threshold. Pure, light and transparent, it leaves the skin soothed and hydrated, and ready for the application of a skin care cream.

Sensibio Eye Contour Gel (2 ml; approx P 166.40) Actual value: P 1,248 / 15 ml

Restore the youthful brightness of your sensitive eye area with this gel. Th lightweight hydrating gel works to decongest this most delicate area of our skin reducing puffiness and smoothing lines with its rigorously selective active ingredients. 

Sebium Hydra (5 ml; approx P 133.5) Actual value: P 1,068 / 30 ml

All skin types, including oily must be moisturized since they can temporarily become dry or irritated. This is especially formulated to compensate for such temporary imbalanc eby rehydtating and restoring the skin's protective layer. The moisturizing and restructing active ingedients fight against peeling and the sensation of tightness while powerful soothing active agents alleviate redness and calm the skin.

Sebium AKN (5 ml, approx P 173.00) Actual Value: P 1,038 / 30ml

This non-comedogenic treatment cleanses the pores in depth while slowing the overproduction of sebum. It also smoothes the skin's texture over time, ensuring that it looks clear and more uniform. Soothing ingredients reduce irritaion and diminish the appearance of redness, and hydrating agents to make sure the skin is comfortable and soft. The light texture is rapidly absorbed and makes a great make-up base.

Sebium Pore Refiner (5 ml; approx P 244.00) Actual Value: P 1,468 / 30 ml)

This targeted daily treatment works to tighten pores that are dilated, prevent imperfections, and mattify the skin both immediately and over the long term, thanks to the astringent and pore minimizer property of Fomes Offiinalis (mushroom extract). Antioxidants boost the skin's radiance and protect it from external aggressors, The lightweight, fluid formula melts into skin instantly, and creates an excellent base for make-up application.

Atoderm Intensive (8 ml ; approx P 56.72) Actual Value: P 1,418 / 200ml

When skin is atopic and dry, it can be extremely irritable, itchy and uncomfortable. The Intensive Soothing Emollient Care is created with Bioderma's exclusive Skin Barrier Theraphy complex, which restores the integrity of the skin barrier, prevents the penetration of allergens and enhances suppleness and comfort. Added Zinc and Betasitosterol provide intense anti-inflammatory care and helps to stop the itch.

Atoderm Cream (8ml, approx P63.92) Actual Value: P 1,598 / 200 ml)

When skin is chronically dry, you need a care product that will not only relieve, but also improve the problem. The Atoderm cream moistens the skin with anti-dehydrating agents, which hold water in the upper layers of the skin and stops it from evaporating. It cares for the skin of babies to adults, and can be used on both the face and the body fro renewed softness. 

Photoderm Max (5 ml; approx P 168.5) Actual Value: P1,348 / 40ml)

With maximum anti-UVB and extreme anti-UVA performance, it guaranatees optimum protection against sunburn, sun intolerance and premature ageing. Exclusive patented Cellular BIOprotection complex effectively shields the skin against risks of cell damage. The melting texture feels very comfortable on the complexion and is perfectly colourless when applied, leaving no trace of white marks or a greasy film. 

The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain (8ml, P 795)

This dual-purpose stain from the Body Shop gives your lips and cheeks a healthy-looking glow with one wash of color or builds up for a richer, deeper coverage. Used alone, it's a sheer stain, but can also be used as a great base for lip and even cheek products for a longer lating flush. Its moisturizing formulation helps to condition the skin with Vitamin E.

Enjoy P200 savings on regular -priced The Body Shop product with a minimum P 1,000 single receipt purchase.

This month's box value including the lip and cheek tint is approximately P1,867.36 (my computation for Bioderma's product is based on actual sample's size received). I didn't include the 200 discount voucher in the computation.

I thought I'll be disappointed with this box contents given that this is all sample size (except for the lip tint). But contrary to that, I find this box okay. Yes, it's all sample size and the TBS cheek and lip tint is always on sale (P 495) in their store, but having to try BIODERMA products that is relatively new (and quite expensive) in the country is really a good opportunity to check if this really fits my skin. Aside from that it's all handy and does not occupy too much space. The only thing that I don't like in this box are the samples that is not in resealable packaging (Sensibio Tonique and Sensibio Eye). If only it's in resealable tube just like the other it won't be wasteful. And BDJ box should have stick to Bioderma products and not include the TBS product and Voucher but instead replaced it with at least 1 full size Bioderma product.

UNBOXING: May 2015 BDJ Box - KISS DRY GOODBYE

At last BDJ Box has finally arrived. I've been waiting for it since mid-week of May but unfortunately the delivery was kinda late. It was like almost end of May when BDJ Box shipped the boxes and without informing the subscribers what's the reason for the delay. Well, I hope the box contents is worth the wait.

I received my box last June 1, but because I was so busy with all the training and other stuff, the un-boxing post was a little late. Oh well, I received the box late, didn't I mentioned that. hehehehe. :)

Let's start unboxing. Anyway, it comes in a big box ( I think this is the new standard BDJ box size) once again.

From the BDJ Box Team (well, part of it):

       Isn't it amazing how time flies so fast? These past few weeks of summer have brought us bright,          sunshiny days, but the dryness and the heat have wreaked their havoc on our hair and skin. As            we bid goodbye to the hot weather, let's put back the focus on what we really need - moisture. It's        time to kiss dry goodbye and say hello to a fresh new you with this month's BDJ Box.

What's inside: 

FULL SIZE

Colgate Optic White Plus Shine, 100g (2 pieces x Php 115)

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Brightening Scrub, 50ml (Php 84)

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Whitespeed Multi-Action Whitening Serum Cream with SPF19/PA+++, 50 ml (Php 265)

FS Powder Blush, 6.2g (Php 350)

Nivea 3in1 Exfoliating Wipes, 20 sheets (Php 140)

Dermal Masks, 3 sheets (Php 70/pc)

Aloe Derma Pure Aloe Vera Gel, 45g (Php 280)

SAMPLE SIZE:

Cure Natural Aqua Gel (Php 1,500 / 250 ml)

Cethapil DailyAdvance Moisturizing Lotion (Php 675 / 85 g)

The contents of the May BDJ Box are perfect for the theme KISS DRY GOODBYE! It really focuses on the products that will give our skin moisture after exposure to the summer heat. Though I wished for a sunblock to be included instead of giving us 2 tube of toothpaste. Anyway, the value of this month's box is Php 1,559 (I only included the full size products in the computation. So far so good. ;)
