BDJ Box for March 2014 rocks Benefit Cosmetics!

Since I got acquainted with Benefit Cosmetics last year, I have been hooked, and I fell deeply in love! Benefit Cosmetics is a high-end brand, and their products are really expensive, but for me, they are worth the price. I don’t own any of their products that I didn’t like yet, and with that, I am slowly collecting the products that are much raved about.

Imagine my excitement when I learned that the BDJ Box for March 2014 includes the best products from Benefit Cosmetics! Out of the five products, I haven’t tried three, so I was very happy that I got those samples!
Let us now take a look!
It always comes with stickers that have empowering words written on them. This month, it says “You don’t need a mirror to know you’re gorgeous!” True that! I love to stick these anywhere I want, like my brush holder, my makeup drawer, and my lipstick holder. Haha!
When I lifted the box, my first impression was, it’s so LIGHT! I read some blogs, and most of them expected that the box should not just have samples, but at least one or two full-sized ones. I felt the same too, but my excitement overpowered that expectation, so overall, I am happy with everything inside.
Below are the actual items and some details of each products.

1. POREfessional PRO Balm Sample Size, 3ml (Full Size is 22ml, Php 1,600)– Quickly minimize the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin!

Overall, I am satisfied with all that I got inside this month’s box. It is ok that they are just samples, because when I checked the website, one sample costs about 8 USD already. So if I would multiply that to five, the box is about 40 USD, and it is still more than the Php 580 monthly subscription fee.
I just want to add that some people did not get the Benetint sample, instead they got the Under my Spell Noelle Fragrance sample, Bathina, and Agent Zero Shine Powder.
I still won’t give up on my BDJ Box monthly subscription, and I am so looking forward on the next boxes!
