Unboxing: BDJ Box x Bioderma Laboratoire Dermatologique (June 2015)

***WARNING*** This will be a super giddy, confetti-all-over rave post. If you’re not in the mood for my flavour of rainbows, come back tomorrow for regular programming. 😉

Just before June was over,the box above landed on my desk. I tad cheated and have been following the hash tags leading to last month’s box hence already know it’s a Bioderma collaboration before I unwrapped my package. Through my snooping, I already saw some subscribers *highly* disappointed by the sample sizes. Let me tell you first off that girlllll you’re missing out! As someone frequently shuffling back and forth Singapore and Hong Kong, I couldn’t be happier to see that 1) since Bioderma’s now locally available, I don’t have to hoard and check-in heavy bottles and tubes and 2) BDJ Bellas get to try a lot of their star products before committing to full-sized products. I’ve been a Bioderma user for some 4-5 years now and I can confidently tell you that it’s a brand worth the online rave.

It’s time to keep those bathing suits and summer hats away as the rainy season is coming our way! The change from hot summer winds to cool rainy breeze is very welcoming. We should be prepared to make our skin adaptable, moisturized and well-nourished.

Following my BDJ Box profile, the box I received was fit for those with combination to oily and sensitive complexions. Continue reading below to see what I got this round.

An Ode To The Best Ever K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner (to date)

When it comes to liquid eyeliner, I’ve long come to accept that K-Palette’s Real Lasting Eyeliner 24H WP tops my list. It stays in place all day (!!!), comes in different tip thicknesses, economical (used everyday, a pen lasts me 2-almost 3 months), and available in stores nationwide and online.

Recently, K-Palette’s sent me what they claim to be their best formula to date and I was like, “really? It can be further improved?”.

The new formula has the following features:

  • Super Shut Out — Long keep formula that’s tough against water, sebum, and sweat.
  • Vivid Color — More pigmented color (even more vivid than a permanent marker!)
  • Essence — Panthenol is added as a double caring ingredient for the skin and lashes, Hyaluronic Acid + Water Solluble Collagen acts as a super moisturizer for the skin, Japanese Green Gentian/Swertia Japonica is tossed in as a lash growth essence that also improves blood circulation, and Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 strengthens the lashes.
