Photo 8-25-14, 9 24 12 AM

The BDJ Box never fails to pick up my mood! Last week, I spent two days at my parents’ house for the holidays and when I went home, I saw my package sitting on top of the bed. My husband jokingly told me the he planned to wrap it like a gift then give it to me (but he didn’t). LOL! I quickly opened the box to check what I got. I didn’t even bother to clean up or fix my things first because that’s how excited I was. Hihi.

“Luscious Locks” is the theme for this month but only four out of seven items were for the hair.

“A good hair day makes everything seem better, doesn’t it? Inside the box are amazing treats to keep your mane in tiptop shape as you go through your daily schedule.”

Let’s now see what I got!

Honestly, my excitement went down a notch when I saw the items inside. It was not as exciting as I thought it was. The box is not even heavy, nor does it contain a lot! The only thing that I liked the most was the lipstick. But, let me tell you more about how I feel about each item.

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate, Full Size, Php 3,500 – this is a luxurious essence that promises to make the skin supple and glow with health with daily use. I am so jealous to those who got the full size bottle (hi Rae!)! There are 100 “Golden Tickets” that were randomly sent. But, even if this is just a sample, it’s still fun to try. It’s enough for several uses, and besides, I still have a lot of skin care items to use up.

Kissable Pink

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Shine, 4g, Php 350 – This lipstick has LiquiSilk formula that seals in color and softness. I am really not a fan of the formula. Yes, it is moisturizing, but the color is very sheer, and it is just like a lip balm. Maybe another shade would be better suited for me.

Fan Di Fendi Blossom Eau De Toilette, 30ml, Php 2,850 – This new fragrance has a fruity, floral and musk notes. “A fresh floral on a Sakura Blossom note” Nashi Raspberry Accord – Sakura Blossom Accord – White Musk. This smells very light and fresh! I love the scent and this is perfect for everyday use. The price tag is quite steep though for its size.

Next are these L’Oreal Professionel Mythic Oil, 125 ml, Php 995 (sample size is 45 ml), and L’Oreal Professionel Mythic Oil Nourishing Masque, 200 ml, Php 1,095 (sample size is 75 ml). The Mythic Oil is enriched with special blend of Avocado and Grape Seed Oil that leaves hair shiny and supple. I actually love this oil because it is non-greasy, and it tames my frizzy hair. I wouldn’t recommend it to those with extremely oily hair because it can get a bit oily at the end of the day. I haven’t tried the masque yet, but I am sure it is pretty good too.

Garnier Color Naturals Cream Nourishing Hair Color, 100 ml, Php 199 – A non-drip cream for natural looking and long-lasting color while leaving hair soft and silky. This one’s a repeat from the Jan-Feb. BDJ Box, but I might use it when my roots are already showing, or maybe give this box to my parents to cover gray hairs.

Blo Vouchers, Php 400 – I like to try the Deep Conditioning Treatment. My hair badly needs it. So I might give this a go.

Overall, I am really expecting so much more from this month’s box. I feel like the are July and August boxes are a bit meh. Hopefully, next month will be beyond my expectations. For more information, you can visit BDJ Box website or like their Instagram.

T.G.I.F!
