Roccabox Staycation Edition

This month, Roccabox has pulled out all the stops to make sure that our time at home is as easy as possible with this Staycation edit, now it might not include a bottle of Gin but it does have 5 products and a treat.  So instead of dreaming of Ibiza, you can be thankful for Costa Del Sofa instead, plus there are three different boxes available for the Staycation edition and this is mine.
Roccabox Staycation Edition
Every month, Roccabox has a hero product within their boxes and this month, that hero product is St Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Gel and Mitt. Described as being a lightweight translucent gel, this fake tan is designed for easy application which leaves you with an even and natural-looking glow. Suitable for everything, this gel has what is referred to as intelligent shade technology with 3 shades in 1, so you just choose when to rinse it off.  As with any tan application you need a mitt, so within the box is one to help make the job easy.

The second product is one of my favourites and it is the Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist. I am a huge fan of the mists from Jurlique and this one is just divine. Described as being a soothing and refreshing mist for thirsty skin which is in need of a little pick-me-up. Alongside the inclusion of Rose, we have extracts of Marshmallow Root and soothing Aloe and it is as refreshing as it is hydrating for the skin.

Moving to haircare we have the Moisture Seal Hair Healer from Charles Worthington. This is a lightweight conditioner which is said to be incredibly nourishing for the hair. Created using a blend of five oils - Argan oil to restore damage, Coconut oil to strengthen, Abyssinian oil to moisturise, Tsubaki oil to restore sheen and Macadamia oil to add softness, all in what is referred to as an encapsulated burst to infiltrate deep into the hair follicle. This conditioner also features anti-frizz and humidity prevention, this thermal heat protection leave-in conditioner leaves the hair feeling deeply nourished all day long.

From Elemis we have the Peptide Plumping Pillow Facial and I really liked this mask, a full review of which you can find on my blog. This hydrating sleep mask is incredibly moisturising and it does all the hard work whilst you sleep. As you apply it, there is a coolness as it hits the skin and to hydrate and nourish, it uses an array of ingredients such as Star Arvensis™ and wild-harvested Indian Night Jasmine which work overnight to help leave thirsty skin looking rehydrated and refreshed.

Finally, we have the Essential Nail HQ Hardener, a product that I definitely need right now. Having been home for over a month now, cleaned the house to within an inch of its life, swapped cupboards over, planted flower and vegetables as well as spending many an hour at my keyboard working, my hands and nails always take a hit. This varnish contains collagen and minerals which are designed to toughen and protect your nails. Ideal for use for those, like me who have thin and weak nails.

The treat within this months box comes from Pact Coffee. Pact Coffee is a coffee subscription service who bring coffee from all over the world to your door.

If you like the look of this box and want to give them a try, It is priced at just £10 per month if bought separately, Roccabox is a subscription service and there are further subscription offers available to choose from.
