It's time once more for another unboxing. And this is yet another beauty box I was eagerly looking forward to! Say hello to the biggest beauty box I've ever laid my eyes on... and it's only for Php 598 at BDJBOX!

Feast your eyes on this!

When the package was delivered at home last Saturday, I didn't realize it was my July BDJ Box because of the heft of the thing! I mean, I expected a smaller box. I also resisted the temptation to view other people's unboxing photos before I got mine so that I'll still get that element of surprise which is the purpose of subscribing to a monthly beauty box. And boy, did it surprise!!!

So here are the items that were in this month's big ass beauty box...


DOVE Damage Therapy for hair and body products! And they didn't just include 1 shampoo and 1 conditioner but 2 of each! Also there's the intensive repair treatment mask, a moisturizing beauty bar (soap), and not just 1 but 2 anti-perspirant/deodorant (spray and roll-on)! These are full-sized items so if my calculations are correct, the total cost of these DOVE products is Php 969!!! ZOMGGGG!!!

And next up are what's inside the actual BDJ Box.


Summer may be over but since our Little Mao will be having a pool party for his 2nd birthday this coming August, I could really use all the extra sunblock for the kids. :) This Beach Hut sunblock is perfect because I don't have a spray sunblock in my beach stash; all I got are lotions. I can't wait to test this out! And 75++ SPF!!!?? Whoa!


This is an item I'm majorly looking forward to try. I use lotion for dry skin on my feet everyday because I really don't know why my feet get super dry all the time. Maybe because I'm getting old? I don't know. I need those baby feet back!!! A Foot Appeal Mask sounds very, very appealing indeed!


But what's a beauty box without the cosmetics, right? Well, the July box didn't disappoint here. There's a BB cream that's fairly new to me. The brand, Too Cool For School, is unfamiliar but hey, I'm always open to new discoveries and who knows? Maybe it'll turn out to be an HG product! We'll see...


Look what we have here! An eyeshadow palette for daily use! OMG! The timing couldn't be better! I'm getting crazy over eye makeup lately, as you've noticed in my Instagram posts and that's why I'm also thrilled to try Enchanted's PIXIE DUST palette. It claims to be shimmery but I'll have to try it out to see if it can actually be worn for day makeup. At first glance, I think it may be too light for evening makeup, but that's just my 2 cents. I like 'em smokey eyes a lot!


When I picked up this bright tube of lippie, I was surprised that it was made by Revlon. I've always associated the brand with "serious" makeup... you know what I mean. This here is more of a Maybelline kind of product if you ask me. This is a MUST TRY really. It is supposedly very hydrating which boosts lip moisture by 156%! Oh, yes! That's something I could really use for my dry, chapped lips! Then again, I love all Revlon products! From their hair colors to their cosmetics. Even their beauty tools are pretty awesome. Thus, I'm sure I'll love this one, too!


Lastly, there's a Php 1,500 voucher from Sure Slim for a weightloss program enrollment. I may have to give this away because I'm absolutely sure I won't be availing of this anytime soon.

So the July BDJ BOX itself is valued at Php 3,101. Now add up the DOVE products and all in all, everything is worth Php 4,070!!! Incredible!!! If you haven't subscribed to BDJ Box, it's not too late. Their September subscriptions are ongoing. Sorry, but the August box is already sold out but good thing I was able to subscribe to that one, too. Another beauty box to look forward to next month! But for now, let me enjoy and play with my awesome July BDJ Box treats.

I'll be posting reviews of the items in the coming weeks so 'til then! Thanks for droppin' by!

OMG OMG OMG! It's my first GlamourBox and it's no less than the Special Edition AVON GlamourBox! Even the box screams glamour all over the place! When I got it 5 days ago and opened it, I realized that it felt like I'm holding a solid and sturdy iPad Mini box or some iDevice box from Apple because the box itself is made from high quality material! It's so classy! LOOK!

This box looks like it's going to last forever. You can re-use it all you want.

Alright, moving on to the unboxing proper... The first one that caught my attention was the BB cream! I am well-aware that AVON has an existing mineral makeup line since just I bought Avon Smooth Minerals foundation this summer, but it came as a wonderful surprise to know that they have a BB cream! I am so excited to try this. They sent a NUDE shade which I hope would be a match for my skintone (it also comes in a lighter shade) and also crossing my fingers that this won't break me out. I will try the Avon Skin Goodness Moisturizing BB Cream SPF20/PA++ in Nude soon and post my review after.


The second item that stood out for me during the unboxing of this special GlamourBox is the Avon Supershock Max Waterproof Mascara in Black. MAX is really the operative word here. The tube is SUPER DUPER GINORMOUS!!! It's probably the biggest mascara I have ever seen. I have about 10 mascaras right now and this is one HUGE son of a *bleep*... I can't wait to try it out.


I'm building a lipstick army as of the moment and it's such a welcome treat that the box contained not just 1 but 4 lippies all in all - one (1) sample size Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Moisture Seduction Lipstick in Red Kiss, one (1) sample size Avon Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick SPF15 in Charged Cherry,  one (1) full size Avon Ultra Color Lipstick SPF15 in Hibiscus, and one (1) more full size Avon Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss in Fiery Red!




And what's a beauty box without something to color your cheeks and eyes? Yup, they also included an Avon Ideal Luminous Blush in Peach and Avon True Color Eye Shadow Quad in Purple Pop. There are my favorite colors so I am definitely going to do a makeup tutorial and post #MOTDs using these. Watch out for those!





Aren't they just pretty? Moreover, I know for a fact that Avon is not just about cosmetics. I've been using Avon products since I was in high school! My aunt was an Avon lady and she was my mom's secretary until she passed away (may her soul rest in peace!), so I always saw her everyday except on Sundays. Up until I graduated college, I always had Avon items in my makeup kit because I would try and buy different products each month out of my allowance. In our household, my mom and my grandmother bought Avon products on a monthly basis as well. It was only when I started working after graduation that my aunt suffered a heart attack and unfortunately didn't make it and I started to explore the world of cosmetics and makeup to try other brands since I didn't know any other Avon lady to get my monthly beauty fix from.

If rainy days and Mondays get me down just like Karen Carpenter, well, today was different. I woke up to the sound of pouring rain but there was a box waiting for me! I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. Check out the awesome goodies inside my BDJ June box!

June 2013 BDJ Box

I saw a couple of tweets and photos posted online from people who already received their boxes a few days ago and I was worried I might get something that I could not possibly use. But BDJ really paid attention and sent me the Kinerase items that was meant for oily skin. Yay! Can't wait to try them out! Though I was really hoping to get a bigger sample size. I think the ones I got in the box won't last me a week! :(

Also since I already got a pixie cut, the L'Oreal products would be perfect as I grow my hair out. I can't help but recall the comments I got at Bridges Salon when 3 people asked me the same question about hair fall. The senior stylist asked if I had some serious hair fall going on, the assistant asked if I had a hair fall problem after giving birth, and the other guy who put the hair clay and styled my hair also commented on how "fine" and "thin" my hair is. Of course, I just nodded and told them that it seems to be a problem for me ever since which is why I needed to cut my damaged hair and hopefully grow healthier hair after. So that's 3 people implying the same thing. Well, I guess it's pretty obvious. I need some serious hair fall repair! Noodle Boy also tells me the same thing and says I should brush my hair outside our room because my hair is all over the place. That was when it was super long but now that remains to be seen since it's all cropped and I hardly need to brush it.

I'm excited to create different bold looks using the Avon lipstick and Revlon eyeliner/brightener. I'll be posting those at Instagram. I will also be using the Physiogel cream for my heels and feet since they're so dry that I feel they're beginning to crack! Eeeek!

Proper reviews on the products will be posted in the coming weeks. Watch out for those! Right now, my hair, face, and skin are all looking forward all these goodies! Thank you BDJ Box.
