First of, I wanna share how my fascination on Beauty 'Subscription Boxes' start to kick in.
I basically love gifts... and boxes. And surprises. Whenever I see one, my system automatically sets to 'cheery festive mode' (well, who doesnt, right?) and starts to picture my favourite things tucked inside readily handed/delivered to my doorstep. Guilty as charged, I LOVE receiving gifts and have a knack for preparing and wrapping them. Paper bags and packages gives me the sudden rush that I, myself, cant even explain. Invigorating, I must say.
Seeing beauty boxes like Birchbox, Glossybox, MyGlam (Ipsy), etc. through the internet on their respective countries leaves me full with envy. Im like, "Wow, can only wish I live there." Haha!
So imagine my surprise when I learned that beauty subscription boxes have FINALLY landed here on our shores, Im completely stoked! I wished for this for quite a long time and thankfully, Ive been heard!
As I blog this time, atleast 3 beauty subscription services are open in the Philippines (kindly correct me if Im wrong). But one strikes my interest the most. Ever since I learned about them, I never hesitated to subscribe! Coming from the same makers of the well-loved Belle de Jour Power Planner, Viviamo! Inc. I introduce..

Looks awesome? It'll be better. Lets head to the unboxing part, shall we?
*WARNING: PHOTO HEAVY ;p
My package came last 27th, Saturday. Twas shipped Thursday, the 25th. Quite fast, if you may ask, given that its a provincial delivery.
FINALLY!
MY BDJ BOX :')
The BOX.
This is BDJ BOX's Premier Box and it is for this month, October.
First of, Id like to rave about the scent of the box. I can smell it from the package even before I open the box itself. I love smelling things (weird, I know), and this baby smells soo good.
The pretty card board where you can see the list of all the products inside the box. Flip it over and see the box's theme: "Parisian Pretty". I LOVE clever details.
It even includes a bonus of these adorable stickers.
Unravelling what's inside.
The products inside as stated on the post card:
L'oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Daily Repairing Treatment, 50ml

You can never have too many products to try and experience yourself!
Overall, the box contains 8 products PLUS 1. I love the October Box. Other than the fact that its my very first Beauty Box, its more on the 'cleansing' side which is nice for starters. I love the perfume sample, its with the same family to the scents I use. Its really important to take the quiz in order for your box to be personalized with the products you and your skin needs. Being a make-up lover, I kinda wish there were at least 3 make-up products included ;p But, have you seen the list of the brands they carry? Expect nothing less but quality! Something to look forward to this coming November!
But wait, there's more!
One of the 'Special Offers' BDJ BOX have is the FREE Deluxe Sample of a Benefit Cosmetics product for the 3-month plan, which is the one I decided to get. I can say that this is one of the major reasons why I got that plan. What can I say, I love Benefit! This freebie is shipped separately, btw. Talk about treating every Bella extra special!
