Hey guys! I used to have very low maintenance hair and using a shampoo was enough to keep it healthy and beautiful. That was during my younger years when I haven't had anything done like getting my hair treated or dyed. With the advent of so many hair treatment procedures comes greater risks of damage to your crowning glory. Good thing Pantene thought of creating a miracle product that can rescue hair from 3 months worth of damage in just 3 minutes. 

PANTENE: Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle

I'm not too much keen on hair care products and I have never gotten hair treatment procedures that cost much. But in the past years when different brands have come up with do-it-yourself hair treatment that can be conveniently done in the comfort of your home, I couldn't help but try them.

I am not very particular with the brand because I know that an expensive tag or even a popular name doesn't always guarantee great results. My last hair care regimen was Dove and just recently Pantene Pro-V which I got from the December-January BDJ box.

Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Miracle Water (100 ml), Php 259.00

The Pantene Pro-V all day smooth miracle water is a leave on treatment intended to beat dryness and humidity in any weather. 

It comes in a 100 ml slim plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. I love that the container is handy and designed to easily dispense the product.Though you may need to pump more than a couple of times to get the right amount. This smells really pleasant and doesn't reek of strong chemical scent. 

It appears translucent and the texture is comparable to a serum. It doesn't feel sticky and it melts almost instantly with your hair strands leaving them moisturized without looking greasy or oily. I love that it tames my hair especially short ones that tend to stick out from the rest of my strands. 

Overall, I am in LOVE with the Pantene Pro-V all day smooth miracle water that I intend to hoard several bottles. It's a must try product for everyone because it truly delivers great results for a reasonable tag.

December-January BDJ Box: A Rundown

Hey guys, I know I've been babbling about the BDJ box in my past several posts but I feel incomplete not having to share with you in full detail the contents of this wonderful box so here it goes..

The last time, I didn't get an information card of the products included in the November box and I even thought they did it deliberately because the box was already overflowing with goodies. It wasn't a big deal anyway and I'm actually far from complaining since it was generously packed with amazing stuff. I found out later that they missed including it in my box and apologized for the mistake. Good thing my December-January BDJ box has this info card.

The BDJ box team never ceases to amaze me with their array of products. I love that they include different product lines like perfumes, cosmetics, skin and hair care products thus targeting the different concerns of women nowadays.

My BDJ Box 7-day Challenge

Hey guys. I recently got my December-January BDJ box and I'm pretty much impressed with how the people behind BDJ make each and every box stand out. Though I must admit the November box is my ultimate favorite among the three, this month's box is still a  hit because the contents are worth more than what subscribers paid for.

Among the array of skin and hair care products included in this month's box, I couldn't wait to try the Pevonia Botanica Phyto Gel Cleanser. I really haven't heard of Pevonia Botanica before but upon reading the product information, I got even more curious and excited to use it. Pevonia manufactures an organic skin care line offered by the most prestigious spas worldwide. Having them available in the market for local consumers will help in maintaining healthy, youthful looking skin right in the comfort of your homes.

The Pevonia Phyto Gel Cleanser came in a 5mL sample tube but the full size is housed in a 250 ml bottle with a pump dispenser. This is a clear cleanser that has a consistency similar to a runny gel. The scent is so  mild that  it's almost unnoticeable.

Immediate effects: Day 1

It feels so smooth on your skin, lathers up minimally and washes off easily. After initial use, it instantly made my skin feel supple to touch. I had no skin tightness, itchiness or any type of irritation. I noticed having purely cleansed skin with visibly dirt free pores. It's also nondrying so my skin felt  refreshed and moisturized.

Continued use: Days 2-7

After a week of religiously cleansing my face with the Pevonia Botanica Phyto Gel Cleanser, I noticed having softer skin without signs of irritation. I'm quite amazed that I didn't break out during my period while using this cleanser. This is a major plus for me since I haven't found a cleanser that prevents me from pimple break outs especially during my period. I also noticed having less oil production on my T-zone and an absolute improvement with my skin texture since I started using this.

The only downside is the price because one full size bottle costs Php 3,640. But for a cleanser that delivers visibly satisfying results in just a few days of use, I'm willing to overlook the expensive tag. I highly recommend this product to those who are willing to splurge on a cleanser that truly bears effective results. If it's way over your budget, this is when the BDJ box subscription works its wonders. For just a fraction of the cost, you get to have a sample size of the Pevonia Botanica Phyto Gel Cleanser so you'd know how it works for you. Also, you get several other products so you're really getting more than what you pay for.

Overall, I love the Pevonia Botanica Phyto Gel Cleanser to bits and I'm pretty much thankful to BDJ box for living up to its advocacy of helping women in their quest for the best beauty products.

You may want to check out this unboxing video I made via iMovie for iPad to see the actual contents of the December-January BDJ box. A few thumbs-up won't hurt. :) Thanks and have a great day!
