Unboxing the August 2013 BDJ Box

This is actually my 3rd box from BDJBox and was a bit sad with the delay in delivery. Although they did announce to everyone that the August Box will be delivered late, I was still hoping to receive it within August and not on the 2nd day of September.
It's a good thing though that what I saw soon after opening surely made up for the delay in delivery.

Breathe new Life Into Your Skin with SHISEIDO.
An exclusive BDJBOX Skincare Special.

An exclusive Shiseido Skin Care Box! Yay! The usual stickers plus discount vouchers greeted me upon opening. I was actually looking for the curator card with the Box Theme and products for the month but it was nowhere to be found. Am I the only one who did not receive it?
Anyway, let's take a peek at the products inside: Ooh la la! Products from the Ibuki line of Shiseido :)

IBUKI Skincare  builds  skin's resistance to UV rays, dryness and  daily stress by infusing it with  long-lasting moisture. Shiseido’s exclusive  technology puts your skin in a  super-hydrated state, so it can maintain a  healthy, more radiant glow.

I checked Shiseido's website and found that this is actually a new line from the brand. Now I'm doubly excited to try the samples included in the box. Let's check out each one of them:
Shiseido Ibuki Gentle Cleanser
Full  size: 125ml | Php 1495 (sample size: 30ml approx. Php 360)

For skin feeling refreshed and silky smooth to the touch, use this extra gentle cleanser everyday. It lather’s quickly into a rich foam and effectively cleans your skin while maintaining its ideal moisture balance.

Shiseido Ibuki Softening Concentrate Lotion 
Full size: 75ml |  Php 1600 (sample size:  15ml approx. Php 320)

A concentrated softener that penetrates quickly and deeply to build the skin’s resistance by filling it with moisture. Prep your skin with this before applying moisturizer to reap the full benefits and get glowing skin.”

Shiseido Ibuki Refining Moisture Enriched Cream 
Full size 75ml | Php 1950 (sample size: 10ml, approx. Php 260 )

This is a multi-functional moisturizer that improves visible pores, breakouts and skin roughness caused by dryness, resulting in a smoother and more refined skin texture. Best used at night.”

Shiseido Ibuki Purifying Cleanser 
Full size: 125ml | Php 1495 (sample size: 5ml approx. Php 60)

A purifying cleanser that contains micro-granules for gentle exfoliation.

Shiseido Ibuki Eye Correcting Cream 
Full size: 15ml | Php 1800 (sample size: 2ml approx. Php 240

This cool, comforting eye cream diminishes the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. Gently pat under your eyes and see them become more vibrant.

Shiseido Ibuki Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizer whitening Formula
Full size: 50 ml | Php 4,500 (sample size: 7ml approx. Php 630 )

A luxurious, highly-concentrated skin supplement that combats the effects of an   aggressive environment. Visibly reduces fine lines, roughness, dryness, and  other signs of premature aging while energizing and rehydrating skin.

I think a lot of people will be put off with the fact that this month's box did not include any full size product. But honestly, I did not mind since the box actually gives us a chance to check the various products needed for a daily skin regimen which is really great. If you think about it, these  6 samples already cost approximately Php 1,870 which is already 322% of the subscription cost.
Anyway, I'm actually at a stage wherein I'm more into skin care than make-up. I guess it comes with age. I'm not getting any younger so maintaining healthy smooth skin is really a must for me now. I just hope that these line will actually work with my super sensitive skin. Let's wait and see.
