Unboxing: Summer Radiance in BDJ Box May 2014



It finally arrived. 

Even before BDJ announced that the May boxes were being shipped, I had a pretty good feeling that it would include nail polish thanks to my stalking the site frequently, I didn’t realize there would be two shades! But I’m getting ahead of myself here. 

It’s a box of surprises for summer pampering and there are impressive products inside. This month's theme is all about Summer Radiance, a pampering treat for the last stretch of summer from interesting brands.


I'm so thankful that BDJ included this in my box because I've tried this and I am currently lovin' it bay-beh... =p This was also the first thing that caught my attention and although the label and instructions are in Korean, the curation card explains that it is a leave-on pack to help the skin restore its natural moisturizing properties. I like that it's lightweight and I find it a good bedtime moisturizer with a very faint scent. It's supposed to be used only twice a week. That should prolong my using it up in a month's time. (That's how much I am so into this...)


  

New nail polish to play with! I can't believe that they cost Php 300+ each, I'm blown away! I like that the box included two contrasting shades. The left one is Seashell which is a barely-there peach-pink colour with a faint gloss. It's like Bobbie's Fave Bikini and if any of you ladies are looking for something work-appropriate and a splurge on polish, this is it. The right one is Jungle, a forest green shade. I like dark nail polishes and have a bias towards this.  This should save me from hoarding more shades in the near future because it promises long-lasting colour. 

 


The purpose of a beauty haul in a box is to try new things, and I am just so grateful that this has been included in the box and I got to try out a shampoo and conditioner (after my mother and sister helped themselves). It did wonders to my dry hair after just a single wash and I like that it is a new experiential fragrance for my crowning glory. Love!
  

I like that Godiva has been generous with the sachets of lotion and deodorant. I've just started using them so let's see how they turn out. This couldn't have come at a better time because I need to restock on lotion.  As for the deodorant, I'm not so keen on it being in sachet, a tiny sample bottle could have been helpful. 

 

I haven't yet tried these masks and both of them says firming so I have to close my eyes, do an eenie-minie-miney-mo and try one for the weekend and I can tell you all about it.


Before the boxes were shipped, BDJ announced that they were giving away flip flops to 100 subscribers. I didn't get them but received a voucher for a free Avon brassiere. Would the ZC branch accept it, I wonder.


For this month's set of stickers, it says A Happy Woman Is A Beautiful Woman.

I do fancy the sleeping pack and nail polish, and I like the Organix hair care set so I have to check out how to get full-sized goodies pretty soon. It's just like a delicious treat on the head!

That's pretty much the contents of this month's box. Have a good week and enjoy the rest of May!

  1. I’m a bit envious. I received my May 2014 BDJBox the other day, but I was disappointed. One of the Revlon nail polish bottles spilled prior to delivery, and it ruined everything inside, including the vouchers. Now, my items are all covered in blue nail polish, and I had to throw some of them out, since I figured that I couldn’t use them anymore. Plus, the nail polish scent is just too overwhelming. Obviously, I’m just looking at unboxing posts to take a look at what the items look like in their pristine state, and I can’t help but feel envious… :(

    1. I'm sorry that it happened to you =( Is there anyway to get in contact with courier/ BDJ team to raise the issue? I also feel that you're cheated out of the fee that you paid. =(

  2. The packaging of the Pumpkin Sleeping Pack is so cool. I actually thought that it's a milk drink when I saw the thumbnail photo. HAHA I am a fan of moisturizers. Any moisturizers. I think, being in a tropical country, we really need it.

    And by the way, you have a cute blog design. :)

    1. You're right about the need to moisturize Yuri, I've abused this one enough already lol . As for the design I asked a friend to design it and did the tweaking after. Thanks for visiting =)
