I was totally honest with my disappointment on last month's box. I even considered unsubscribing. But a little voice inside me whispered I should wait for July then make a decision whether to continue with the subscription or not. I'm happy I waited.

Much to my heart's content. Here's my unboxing moment. 

Wait, I received 2 boxes. 1 box with all Dove products in it and the usual BDJ box. 

OMG! Dove. On my June BDJ box post, I mentioned I was not too happy with the Loreal products because I'm an avid Dove user. And to give me 8 full sized items?! Just amazing!

I got a soap, a roll on, a deo spray, dove intense hair repair, 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners. My mom loves Dove too so I gave her the other shampoo and conditioner. Total of 8. All the products must have cost more than two thousand but I only paid Php 580. Sweet deal! 

Take a peek what's inside the other box. 

That's beach hut sunscreen. An essential and timely as my banana boat sunscreen is 1 squeeze to nothing left. I go to the beach even during rainy months. I have beach trips this coming September and October and this saved me the hassle to buy since my sunscreen is almost empty. Well, I also use sunscreen each day the sun comes out. It's an everyday essential, not only for beach trips. ^_^

Beach Hut Sunblock - The aerolized form of this innovative Beach Hut Sunblock allows you to quickly go out and have fun under the sun. No need to spread it after spraying it on - no mess, non sticky with all the protection.
Price: Php 399

A revlon lippy lip butter in Lollipop shade, which I really like. I used it the moment I opened it. The shade perfectly suits me. 

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Lollipop - Hydrating mango, shea, and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture by 156%, making application buttery smooth.
Price: 525

Enchanted "After Midnight" eyeshadow that my sis would really love to try. Smokey eyes it is.

Enchanted Eyeshadow - This long wear eyeshadow palette from Enchanted contains three shades that allow you to add depth and drama to your peepers.
Price: Php 179

This one is too cute. This is a perfect travel essential. I don't really wear make up but my staples are bb cream, eyeliner and lippy. 

Too Cool for School BB Cream - The travel sized  version is perfect for girls always on the go, as this BB Cream quickly covers all natural skin imperfections for a natural  flawless skin! It has SPF 37 PA+++ so you are always protected wherever you go.
Price: Php 219

The foot skin peeling socks that's included in the box intrigued me and I cannot wait to use it. Haha. The sure slim voucher I might just give away. I'm trying to gain not to lose weight, lols. 

Foot Appeal Mask - Reveal soft, smooth feet after just one use of Foot Appeal's Peeling Sock.
Price: Php 279 

Sure Slim Voucher - 1500 pesos off on their weight loss program 

Am I satisfied? Oh my, I was literally leaping with gladness I didn't push the stop payment on my Paypal account. I guess I shall continue with BDJ box. I am a certified Bella after all. Xoxo.

I don't want to say I'm disappointed with this month's BDJ box, it's just that I'm not impressed. 

Here's what's inside the box:

1. Physiogel Hypo-Allergenic Intensive Cream, Php 574.50 / 50ml. This was already featured in the previous boxes and I have got free tubes when I came to a BDJ event the previous months. I already have 3 tubes at home that I haven't got to used yet.

2. While I like bath products, Loreal Shampoo and Conditioner were also featured in the previous boxes. I use them but I still prefer Dove for my hair essentials. 

3. But I love the addition of Loreal Hair fall tonic. I used it today in a humid weather and it works great on my hair. Not oily. My hair was silky and smooth.

4.  Avon lipstick. I love that the staffs picked this color for my box. I loved it! Last time, I got electric pink. Which I can't really wear on a daily basis. 

5. Revlon Photoready Kajal Intense Eyeliner + Brightener. Cost about Php 525/2.4g. I don't really wear make up that much but eyeliner is one of my essentials. Though, the color I got was emerald green. I think it's fun to experiment once and a while. 

6. Kinerase Lotion and Gentle Daily Cleanser (sample sizes). They've added samples of this pricier brand. I would love to try this but not something really that I would buy. 

I have been a subscriber since the very first month they've started this beauty subscription. While I'm a little excited receiving the box each month. Like a little girl ecstatic to open the box and unveil what's inside. A part of me is saying, isn't it a waste of money also since not all products is something I really want to buy and really want to try. 

I hope next month's box is better. More bath essentials maybe. Soaps, body wash.

My BDJ box arrived just after my Bohol trip. Just when I needed a beauty loot the most. My skin needs to be refreshed and renewed. I wonder what's inside.

I cannot wait to open it. 



My eyes were all glowing when I opened it. Wah, BDJ Box just keeps getting better and better. Shiseido and Loccitane = LOVE!



I love every single one of them. 



The arrival of these goodies came very timely. I need intensive care for my sunburned skin. And glad to say that after a few days, skin got lighter and lighter.



 
I also got another set of inspirational stickers. Yup, we make things beautiful. So let go of all the worries, feel and make life as beautiful as it should be! ^_^
