September 2016 BDJ Box Elite Unboxing & First Impressions

Ah, and what do you know, another subscription box unboxing ^__^

I'm obsessing over them though and I cannot help myself. So here we are, on to the next.

Here are the contents of the BDJ Box Elite September 2016. . .This month's theme was "Bare to Beautiful" in which the idea of it is bringing us back to basics with products curated to smoothly transition your bare face to a beautiful work of art.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths

retails for 225.00 pesos

This always comes in handy, cleans thoroughly but stays gentle on the skin. Definitely not to replace your makeup remover though because it cannot take off waterproof mascara.

TheFaceShop CC Ultra Moist Cushion

retails for  895.00 pesos

I've been wanting to try this and luckily I haven't bought it yet. A bit lighter than my skin tone but I love that it has SPF. It has medium coverage and definitely is "ultra moist" as it says, so if you're oily like myself, a powder to set is the best way to use this cushion.

Pink Sugar Honey I'm Good Brow Gel

retails for 349.00 pesos

The blonde shade would not work for me since I have dark colored hair and I noticed it looks shiny on the brows. I would not rely on that impression though because I'm a newbie on brows. I saw great reviews of this brow gel in Youtube so it must be good and worth trying.

Bioderma Hydrabio Serum

retails for 808.00 pesos in full size

This came in a sample size and I really like this. Been using it ever since I got it. It's moisturizing without it feeling sticky on the face. The scent is so subtle and is easily absorbed on the skin.

Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadow

retails for 425.00 pesos

I got the shade 441 which is an opulent purple eye shadow. I think it's a great pop of color to add to my neutrals.

FS Features & Shades Mascarade Mascara

retails for 500.00 pesos

I have doubts if I like this mascara to be honest. It smudges easily and does not really offer volume. The wand is nice and big but I don't see myself grabbing this after using it one time.

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Magic Blur Cream

retails for 899.00 pesos

One of my fave things to get from subscription boxes are skincare products. I will definitely get a use of this. It'll be perfect for these little laugh lines that are peeking through ^__^

 This box costed me 1480 pesos and the shipping was free. Yet, the overall value of all products is around 3700 pesos. All except the Bioderma serum are in full sizes.

I got 3x more products than the amount I paid for. If that is not enough reason to love subscription boxes, I dunno what is.

i'll stop rambling now,

until then,
