BDJBOX UNBOXING: JULY 2015 'PREPPED AND POLISHED'

At last I got free time to do this long overdue unboxing. July is the month where BDJ Box Team wants us to be prepped and polished during the rainy season.

INSIDE THE BOX:

Dove Oxygen & Nourishment Shampoo and Conditioner
full size: 180ml each / Php 115 each
The newest variant from Dove Hair specially designed for Filipinas with dry. flat hair. Use this everyday and let your hair bounce back to its glowing condition. This has Oxyfusion technology that gives you soft, nourished hair plus 95% more volume. You would not need to compromise between volume and nourishment as it gives both.

It's new and very happy to be the first ones to try it. I did use it already and I am loving the scent. 

V10 Plus Serum
sample size: 2ml/each (full size: 30ml / Php 4750)
An award winning serum from Japan. V10 Plus is the world's first Skin Supplement Concept. This comes in 10 variants that will enable you to find what's best for your skin need. May it be dry, oily, acne-prone skin, suffering from aging, fine lines and wrinkles.
Vitamin C Serum: The perfect treatment if you're worried about blemshes on your skin. It treats old spots on your face, slowly evening your skin tone and at the same time, prevents any future breakouts.
Licorice Serum: Makes your skin radiantly smooth. It has an ant-inflammatory effect, and soothes skin irritations, perfect for blemished or sensitive skin.

I am into asian serums this year and I am happy I get to sample this one.

Benefit They're Real Mascara
deluxe sample: 3ml (full size: 8.5ml / Php 1300)
It lengthens curls, volumizes, lifts and separates lashes. It contains a jet black, long wearing formula that won't smudge or dry out, perfect for a quick and easy, daytime to nighttime look.

This brand isn't readily available in the place where I live and I am so pumped to receive one. Got a few mascaras and this would be nice one to try on.

Celeteque Cleansing Oil
full size: 50ml / Php 199
With Dual Vitamin Regenerating Complex that promotes healthy tissue regeneration, this double-duty cleanser also helps firm skin and reduce fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.

I am nearly running out of make up removers and cleansing oils, it is about time I get one.

Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar
sample size: 28g x 3 (full size: 127g / Php 441)
Gentle enough to use daily but effective at cleaning and soothing your skin. It's your skin's constant companion in the shower or in the tub. It is specially designed for dry, sensitive skin and leaves it feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. It cleanses without irritation or dryness and moisturizes as it cleans to leave skin restored of its natural protective oils and emollients.

I do love Cetaphil because it suits all ages and with its size, it is difinitely easy to bring during my travels.

FS Luscious Lipstick in Matte Primrose
full size: 4g / Php 299
It will give you a fine-looking lips ready to show off a wide and vibrant smile. This is the ultimate lipstick collection for all season. Luscious lipstick is rich in pigment colors that comes in 9 creamy shades and 9 matte shades giving you many options to choose from. 

I am not sure whether I like or not like this because I don't usually use bold lip colors on a daily basis but we'll see. I'll make up my mind when I start trying it out.

Carmex Click Stick Lip Balm
full size: 4.25g / Php 110
Carmex Tube Lip Balm
full size: 10g / Php 110
The unique formula helps soothe, moisturise and relieve dry, chapped lips caused by environmental factors resulting in soft, healthy-looking lips.This award winning lip balm is a favourite of celebrities and make up artists all over the world.

Carmex is a realiable brand when it comes to lip moisturizing, I've tried one in my college days. I am happy I get to get not 1 but 2 from Carmex but I have overflowing supply of lip balms and I don't know how I am supposed to used them all up when the expiration dates are ticking. But what the heck, I might just end up using these babies just because Carmex lip balms are best suited for my dry and chapped lips.

Canmake Nail Polish
full size: 3.8g / Php 330
It has funky range of colors with pearl highlights you can try plus a benefit of quick-dry formula so no need to wait long until it dries. It goes on evenly, with every single color looking just as good on your nails as it does in the bottle. Comes with a fine brush to help you easily swipe on a wonderful color in your nails.

I am not loving this nail polish. I will do a review on this later on.

What I love about this box:
  • I value this box at Php 2662 (sample size computed by volume) vs subscription fee of Pph 580. Now isn't that 4x what your paid for?
  • Out of 13 items inside the box: 7 are in full size, 1 deluxe sample (mascara) and 5 sample size. More products in full size.
  • Dove Oxygen & Nourishment Shampoo and Conditioner are newly launched products from Dove Hair and hell yeah I get to try it. V10 Plus Serum is an expensive product from Japan which I have only known thru this BDJ Box and boy am I happy to try them on.
  • I live 5-6 hours ride from the Metro and Benefit is a brand which is not readily available so yes you can definitely say I am glad I get to receive my first Benefit product.
  • Carmex? No questions asked. a very reliable brand for my dry and chapped lips. Carmex to the rescue.  

What I didn't like about this box:
  • I didn't like the Canmake Nail Polish because it isn't as promising as its description. So not loving it. 
  • I am so not in to FS Cosmetics and really adamant in trying one.
  • Most of the items inside the box are just to replenish my beauty product supplies which is at some point I am not happy about.
  • Dove, Cetaphil, Carmex, FS and Celeteque are brands which are easily accesible for me to buy.
