Roccabox have had some amazing boxes this year and its all the more special when you know just how much time and effort Tia, the fabulous lady behind the brand, puts into making it a success. This year, Roccabox had their first Advent Calendar which is still on sale. The November Beauty Box, is aptly named Lights, Camera, Relax and it is described as being the box to rev you up and wind you down. Choosing products you get you looking flawless and ready to take on the world, but more importantly, unwind at the end of it.
This months box is made up of five products and they are a mixture of skincare and makeup and all from brands everyone has hopefully heard of.
The Herp Product of this months box comes from Nip+Fab with the Salicylic Fix Concentrate Extreme 2%. The blurb with this product tells us that during lockdown, sales of Salicylic Acid have doubled, not that it comes as too much of a surprise because if there is one ingredient that is going to work wonders for congested skin it is this.
The NIP+FAB Salicylic Acid Salicylic Fix Concentrate Extreme contains 2% Salicylic Acid which works to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, Niacinamide to improve the appearance of an uneven skin tone and Lotus Flower Extract which supports the control of oil production.
The second item out of the box is the SportFX Sport Stamina Mascara which as the name suggests is meant to give your lashes stamina!
The Mascara comes packaged in a bendy squeezable tube and the formula which contains mango butter, sweet almond oil and an added vitamin complex which help to nourish the lashes and give long-lasting volume and definition. On the lashes, the curved brush is designed to coat each lash and all without clumping, smudging and flaking.
The third item out of the box comes from Smashbox and it is the Photo Finish Foundation Primer, a product which is often described as being the real-life Instagram filter.
Described as being a transparent, oil-free gel that enhances makeup application and wear, it also works to blur visible pores, fine lines and any imperfections to give that much wanted picture-perfect canvas. This primer also helps to defend against pollutants, stress and environmental aggressors with an antioxidant blend of peptides and vitamins A and E.
From Kandi Cosmetics we have the Pre-Glow Up Mist, which is said to be an industry best-seller.
Designed to be spritzed onto your skin after moisturising but before foundation, this mist gives your skin a dewy glow. With the rose gold tinted formula, on the skin it transforms into lots of little glowy particles which really give that lit-from-within glow and what I really like about this is that it doesn't dry sticky or tacky.
Finally within this box we have the Creamy Deluxe Shae Butter Body Wash from Soaper Duper, a brand you might have come across in your local Boots stores.
Switching off at the end of everyday, even if it has been working from home, is important, something I have definitely learnt and won't be taking for granted again. Nothing is as amazing as that hot shower in an evening before bed to close the day off. This Body Wash is essentially a hug in a bottle, it is creamy, it smells lovely and thankfully not too much of Vanilla, it is hydrating and best of all, it leaves my skin silky soft.

I really enjoyed this months Roccabox, I really like the theme and it is always nice to be reacquainted with products you have long since forgotten about as well as the opportunity to try something new.
