Unboxing my April BDJ Box!

Hello,

I am just so excited to write this blog post! Yesterday, I received my first ever BDJ Box!!!! I subscribed to this monthly beauty box subscription because I have heard great things about it from other bloggers. I was so happy that I was able to subscribe because their beauty boxes are almost always sold out! :)

I am subscribed to another beauty box subscription (Glamourbox) and I have been happy with the products they have featured so far. However, I wanted to try out BDJ Box because the down the line, I feel that it is more practical to subscribe to only 1 one beauty box that gives you the most value for your money. So, I might do a bit of a comparison between these two boxes and see which one I like the most.

For the products that I have received for my first ever BDJ Box, I was elated that I got a lot of full sized products! Plus, the value of the products in the box is way more than the price of the subscription which is Php 480!!!

The theme of this month's box is about staying fresh this summer. The products that they have included in the box are basically summer essentials that will keep you looking cool and fresh despite the scorching summer heat. :)

On to the products that I got...

A quick preview of the contents of my box


The box wasn't as sturdy as I expected. The Glamourbox boxes are bigger and of better quality. But I love the design of the BDJ Box. It's simple and pleasing to the eyes. 

*I forgot to edit the picture on top. Ooops. :)

1.Full Size Avon SSS Glutathione Lotion with Marula - Php 350 / 250 ml
This new lotion from Avon is infused with Marula which "deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin". 

2. Full Size Celeteque Hydrolized Moisturizing Mist - Php 349 / 120 ml
Perfect for skin hydration and rejuvenation during the summer days. This product is also used to prep the skin prior to makeup application.


3. Full Size Avon Anew 360 White Day Cream - Php 799 / 30 ml
On this product alone, I got the most value on the Php 480 subscription that I paid! This moisturizer is designed to "help moisturize all-day long while reaching a radiantly white skin".

4. Full Size Garnier Light Intensive 3 in 1 Whitening Essence Mask - Pho 89 / 19 ml
This mask help "lighten skin tone, remove dead cells, refine texture, retain water inside the skin for hydration".

5. Sample Size Bifesta Age Care Cleansing Lotion - Php 419 / 300 ml
I am excited about this product! It is a water-based makeup remover. The other makeup removers that I have tried before are oil-based which leave an oily feeling to the skin. Eeek!


6. Full Size Candi Nail Polish Remover Wipes - Php 65 / 30 pcs
I can't wait to try this! I use acetone most of the time to remove my nail polish but it tends to leave my nails dry and brittle. 

7. Full Size Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy - Php 375 / 7.68 ml
I have never tried any Revlon Nail Polishes before even though I am a nail polish addict. This limited edition product has two colors: a holographic glitter top coat and a cream base coat. The one that I got is a dark brown cream base and a glittery yellow gold top coat. 


8. Sample Size Selena Gomez Eau de Parfum - Php 2,950 / 100 ml
So glad I got another sample of this! I got a sample of this at the BDJ Box Beauty Social and I just fell in love with this sweet, fruity scent!

9. Goody Slide-Proof Pins and Elastics - Php 449.75 / 2 clips and 2 elasctics
I love Goody Products! Although they are a bit expensive for hair elastics and bobby pins, I'd say they are worth it because of the quality! 


All things considered, I can say that I am happy with my April BDJ Box. The value of full sized products put together is more than what I paid for and I love the variety of products that they have included. There are products for your face, body and nails that will really come in handy for this summer!

Are you subscribed to the BDJ Box? If not, then please do and I promise you'll love it! Check out their site here.
Please comment below and let me know which products in this month's box would you want me to do a review of. Also, send me links of your unboxing videos or blog posts. I'd love to see them! :)

Till my next blog post!

Sea Goddess

Hey there!

I got inspired today when I saw the E.L.F. Cosmetics Quad in Ocean Dreams. The quad has some great blue and green shades that reminded me of the sea and of mermaids. I decided to buy the quad and attempt to do an eye makeup using it. Haha. Honestly, this is my first ever blog post of this sort. I tried doing this kind of posts before but I couldn't get a decent picture! Thankfully, I now have my cousin with me here in Manila and she nicely volunteered to take the shots! Thanks Crissa! :)

This look is very simple and I would recommend this look for a night out or for a themed party. The materials I used are very affordable and are available at any department store. I will be showing pictures of the step-by-step process in accomplishing this look. Let's get started!

 Step 1: I applied a cream eyeshadow as my base. I used the Enlightened Creamy Eyeshadow Base in the shade Highlight. I got this cream eyeshadow from one of my Glamourboxes. I think it was from the January one. 

Step 2: On the inner half of my eyelid I applied this light green color (2nd color from the left) from the quad.

Step 3: On the outer half of my eyelid I applied the violet-blue color (1st color from the right) from the quad.

Step 4: On my crease and on the outermost portion of my eyelid, I deepened the color using the deep blue color (2nd from the right) from the quad.

Step 5: Highlight your brow bone and tear duct area with the lightest green shade (1st from the left) in the quad. Out of all the colors in this quad, I don't like this the most. The color payoff is very minimal that I had to apply the color more than once.

Step 6: Line your upper lash line and water line with a deep blue-green color. I used Nichido's Eye Contour Pencil in Metal Blue.

Step 7: Coat your lashes with mascara. I used my Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara in Black Noir. 

I hope you guys liked this look and I hope you'll try it for yourselves! If there is any specific look that you would want me to do or any E.L.F. quad to use for a look, please comment below and let me know!

Till my next blog post!

The BDJ BOX Beauty Social

Hello Lovelies and fellow Bellas!

I attended the BDJ Box Beauty Social this afternoon at the SM Mall of Asia. I learned about this event through an email newsletter that they have sent me. I got excited upon seeing that email because I have been a Bella since 2011 and I have just recently subscribed to the BDJ Box!! Basically, the Beauty Social is an event which has a lot of talks related to beauty and there were a lot of booths from brands such as Revlon, Covergirl, Max Factor and Goody! There were also booths from local brands and establishments such as Snoe Beauty, Browhaus and Strip.

I went to the event with my cousin and we were just overwhelmed with the number of people who were attending. I event saw a few men in the event as well! Haha. I originally signed up for 3 events but unfortunately, I only got to attend 1 of these events because I had other errands to run. I got to attend the talk called "Beauty Questions Solved". The talk was basically an open forum wherein the audience can ask the members of the BDJ Box Beauty Ministry their questions about beauty. I really enjoyed this talk because the beauty ministers who where present (Tara, Nicole and Kate) were very insightful and they gave such useful tips! I loved how knowledgeable they are about beauty. They really answered all of the questions that were raised and they seemed to have such lovely personalities! Shout out to Kate who is my favorite among the beauty ministers! I loved the outfit that she was wearing and I was so jealous of her hair! :)

Here are a few pictures that I was able to take from the event:

This was during the talk. The host was Managing Director Kat Dy. She was very engaging as a host and I loved her outfit! Members of the beauty ministry who were present were Tara Cabullo, Nicole Romero and Kate Alvarez. :)

Brands such as L'Occitane, Physiogel and Yuka participated in the event and gave free samples!

Revlon and Covergirl gave free makeovers. I forgot to take a picture of the Max Factor and Shiseido booths where free makeovers were also being done. Ofcourse, Goody was also there and they gave out free Ouchless Elastics to the first 500 registrants.

This was me at the entrance of the event. Sorry for looking so haggard. 
I wasn't wearing any makeup. Haha.

Ohh, and did I mention that I got a free loot bag at the event as well? Here's what I got:

My loot bag! The actual bag was from Goody. I also got a Cosmopolitan Magazine. But I was disappointed with the magazine because it was the August 2012 issue. I wish they put something more recent. :(

I also got the Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara, the L'oreal Fall Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, samples from Physiogel and some Pantene Color & Perm Lasting Care Shampoo. I got totally excited about the Revlon Mascara. I have never tried any Revlon Mascara's before and I can't wait to try this one!

All in all, I really enjoyed the event! It was a good effort on the part of the BDJ team and I know that they have put a lot of thought and hard work into making the event a success. Kudos to the BDJ team! I hope that there will be another beauty social in the near future. And I hope that they will have more activities and feature more brands. :)

Unboxing my March Glamourbox!

Hello Lovelies!

Today, I got giddy and excited when our office messenger handed me a package wrapped in green plastic! I instantly knew that it was my March Glamourbox! I love receiving my monthly subscription from Glamourbox because there is that sense of suspense and excitement as to what products are in the box.

I have been a subscriber of Glamourbox since the very beginning. I believe that they are the first of its kind here in the Philippines. I remember watching videos on YouTube about other beauty subscription services in the US and the UK like Birchbox and Glambag. I always wished that someone will start a beauty subscription service here in the Philippines and my prayers were answered through Glamourbox! Being a beauty addict, I always look forward to receiving this box every month and so far, Glamourbox never fails to disappoint.

For their March box, the theme is "All about US". I love how every month the box has a different theme. This month it's all about "channeling our inner goddesses, carrying our own style with confidence and conquering the world".


These are the contents of my box. You definitely get your money's worth for this subscription with the amount of samples you get and you also get to have one or two full-sized products a month.


Now, let's go to the individual products in this month's box.

1. Eye of Horus Natural Smokey Eye Pencil, Full Size 1.2 g / Php 960
This is the product that I was most happy to see in my box! It comes in a full size and in the color black. I was really hoping to receive another Eye of Horus product in my box because I fell in love with their mascara which I receive in a prior month.


2. Pevonia Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, Full Size 10 ml / Php 2,950
I also got a good sample size of this Pevonia cleanser. Because it is so expensive, I have never tried this product before. But that's the beauty of this subscription service; you get to try out cool products and see if they are really worth your money.


3. Avon Skin So Soft Glutathione Whitening Renewal Hand & Body Lotion, Full Size 250 ml / Php 350
I'm a lotion addict and seeing this product in my box made me happy! I think this would be perfect to carry around in your purse to keep your hands moisturized at all times.


4. Heynature BB Creams, Full Size 40 g / Php 1,300
I have never heard of this brand before. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that these BB Creams will be awesome!


5. Heynature Aqua Brightening Gel, Full Size 80 g / Php 1,750
According to the product description, this moisturizing gel transforms into pearl-like water droplets upon massaging the skin. It helps boost up skin hydration level & effectively soothes the skin, resulting in full elasticity with a luminous glow. Oh, this would definitely contribute to a goddess-like look!


6. Yves Saint Laurent Saharienne, Full Size 75 ml / Php 4,300
Ralph Lauren Big Pony 1, Full Size 75 ml / Php 4,300
Almost every month, Glamourbox includes perfume samples in their box. I think this is a great way in trying out different scents and finding out which scent suits your taste and style.


7. Discount Vouchers
They also include discount vouchers for some cool deals every month. For this month, they included a 10% off voucher for Rollerball and a gift voucher worth Php 2,000 at SureSlim Wellness Centre.


Awww, I just love my Glamourbox! I'm so excited to try out the products! I am particularly excited to try out the eye liner from Eye of Horus!

If there is any specific product that you want me to review, please comment below and let me know.

And for those of you who haven't subscribed to Glamourbox yet, please check their website and subscribe now!

I'm back + Forever21 Accessories Mini Haul!!!

Hello Lovelies!

How have you guys been? I know, I know. I have been on a very long hiatus. If you want to know why I haven't blogged in a very long time, the reason is I didn't have a laptop. My old one died on me before the end of 2012 and I have just recently acquired a new one. But, here I am now and I gotta tell you that I have missed blogging so much! I also missed reading other people's blogs and interacting with other bloggers and some of the readers! I am really glad to be back in the blogging world! :)

And to kick-off my "back-to-the-blogging-world" blog post, I have a mini accessories haul from Forever21 that I would like to share with everyone. I went to the Forever21 store in SM Makati yesterday because I knew that they were having a 3-day sale from March 15-17, 2013. More than anything in that store, I am crazy about their accessories! Every time I see their accessory section, I just gasp and stare in amazement at the wonderful selection that they have. So I grabbed a few pieces for myself...

 Like any earring-crazy person, I went gaga over their earrings! I like stud earrings more than dangling earrings because they are more suited for a professional look and I find them to look more sophisticated on me. The first two earrings on top were the ones I got on BOGO (buy one, get one). The last two earrings on the bottom were not on sale, but I got them because I thought that they are pretty and that I was getting my money's worth for them. The third set of earrings (the one which looks like they are dangling ones) is actually composed of 3 pairs of earrings. The last set of earrings has 6 pairs of earrings in a set. That's a good deal in my opinion! :)



I also got two necklaces. I chose these two for their simplicity. The first one that I got is a dainty piece which only has a little key as a pendant. The other one that I got is simple yet has a little bit of edge to it because of the little spike pendants. 

And the last thing that I got from Forever21 is a nail polish. I have never tried their nail polishes before and I really wanted to try one. There was not a lot to choose from, but this color called Grey Silver really caught my eye...


I hope you enjoyed my mini haul! I think you guys only have until tomorrow to check out the Forever21 sale! So you better hurry!!!
