The August Edition of Roccabox has arrived and it is dedicated to giving your skin that glowing, radiant look that we all crave, especially now we have some freedom back and are able to meet up with friends and family after what has been the most unusual of circumstances that I am sure none of us ever expected to see.
Inside the box is five products which features a collection of brightening skincare, illuminating makeup and invigorating body care to get you through the rest of Summer.
The first product out of the box and also this months hero product, comes from Elikya Beauty with the Illuminating Highlighter in Gold and it is incredibly pretty.
This is a 100% Natural Highlighter which is made with hibiscus essential oil. It has a texture which can best be described as being soft and silky and what I love is how incredibly easy it is to work with. It can be applied alone or mixed with your foundation and is ideal for applying to those targeted areas of the face: browbones, temples, upper cheekbones, or the top of Cupid’s arch.
The second product within this box comes from a brand called Vegan by Happy Skin with their Original Skin Essence Toner, a brand and product I have never come across or used before, so I am intrigued to see how it works.
Described as being the perfect skin balancer, it should be used after cleansing but before moisturising. Infused with natural ingredients that are known for their skin-soothing properties, so you will find the likes of aloe vera juice, chamomile and calendula, all of which leave the skin feeling softer, more nourished and calmed after using.
The third product comes from Spectrum Brushes with the Emerald Green Domed Powder Brush and I have this brush from a few of the Spectrum Collections over the years and it is a delight to use.
With its incredible soft bristles, it is perfect for using with powders, be that your foundation, bronzer, blusher or even setting powder. It is lightweight to hold and the handle is easy to grip and what I really like is how the brush manages to collect enough powder product to not cause fallout.
The fourth product is a Body Cleanser and it comes from a brand called What's In It For Me? Again, this is another brand I haven't as yet come across and it is part of the reason why I am such a huge fan of beauty boxes.
This Body Cleanser combines aloe vera, witch hazel and grapefruit extract to not only cleanse and detoxify, but the addition of cooling peppermint and rosemary oil also help to calm and invigorate the skin and body. There is also some advice to have a blast of cold water onto your skin after showering to really bring that zing to life!
The final product in this box comes from Vita Liberata with their Heavenly Elixir in the shade medium. Personally, I am not a user of self-tan products, I have too pale a skin tone to even debate giving something a try and I also don't want to end up looking like ive been stained with creosote.
However, this Heavenly Elixir is described as having a luscious cocoa scent and as a product it is hydrating and helps to lock moisture into the skin whilst delivering a most naturally flawless bronze shade to the body, which is then said to continue to develop over the next few days and it doesn't begin to fade for 10 days.
I really like the contents of this months box and I love that there is a nice mixture of different products once again with the inclusion of both makeup and skincare. If you didn't know, Roccabox is a beauty box subscription service and there are further subscription offers available to choose from with boxes starting at just £10 per month plus P&P.
