Unboxing: BDJ's December 2016 Elite Box

Christmas is just around the corner, but, when I received BDJ's December Elite box, it felt like Christmas has already arrived! I was surprised at how heavy and full to the brim it was when I opened it!

This month, they (once again) partnered with Céleteque.

At first, I hesitated, and had second thoughts about subscribing, since I already received a Céleteque exclusive box from them last year and was thinking I might receive the same products or repeat items. But, after seeing their sneak peeks and their claims about getting 6x the value of the money you spend (Php 1480/box), I caved in. If you'd like see that unboxing you can check it here.

It was super exciting for me as I received 15 items that are mostly full-sized (with the exception of the mist and the cleansing oil). It looks like Céleteque launched new makeup products too as the only repeat I got was the mist. I love how this mist is travel-sized, it's easier to pop in my bag before heading out.

Let's take a look at what's inside the box.

1. Céleteque DermoCosmetics Longwear Eyeshadow Palette (6.5g) Php725/each Smokey Grey, Pink Orchid, and Warm Brown

Shea butter, Tocopheryl Acetate, or Vitamin E and Evening Primrose Oil help retain moisture for a smooth texture and an easy-to-blend application.

Group pic! Lol!

I'm glad Céleteque came out with more makeup products to add to their Dermocosmetics line. On top of that, I feel this time, their color selection is more on point. They covered a lot, from nudes/browns, to pinks/purples and reds even greys and blacks. They kept the same packaging, which is no longer as horrible as I first thought it was, probably because I already got used to it. My only gripe now is because I had to open around 15 boxes, it was a chore and they didn't make it any easier. The boxes were really a challenge to open! Imagine me struggling to open them at 3 in the morning, trying to keep it down so as not to disturb my sleeping husband and son, and fighting the urge to just rip the boxes. Also, if I were to buy these, they are on the pricier side (in  Kathleenlights' voice: "Dats expensive..."), it's a good thing, BDJ thought of putting these in their boxes.

To sum it up, BDJ did an exceptionally good job partnering with a great brand and giving their subscribers the best bang for their buck this Christmas season.

See you on my next post! Happy Holidays!
