5 favourite beauty products I've tried from beauty boxes

Anytime a beauty box arrives at my door, my face immediately lights up. I'm very thankful to have 

worked with Roccabox for over a year and receive their monthly beauty boxes. I love the concept of 

beauty boxes because they give you the opportunity to try out a variety of products, from both high street 

and high end brands as well as small businesses. Over the past year I have discovered so many new beauty 

brands that I had never heard of before, and found some new favourites that have become a staple in 

different aspects of my life. Since I've tried so many products, I can't possibly talk about them all, so I 

wanted to share my top 5 favourite beauty products I've tried from beauty boxes over the past year. 

SMASHBOX PHOTO FINISH PRIMER - MARCH ROCCABOX*

"This clear gel primer smoothes and blurs flaws and imperfections on the skin. Developed to help 

make your makeup last longer and look better on set, and can now be achieved in your own home."

With a silicone texture this leaves your skin feeling silky smooth to the touch and gives the foundation 

something to grip onto and look flawless yet natural and last all day long. I'm not usually a fan of silicone 

based primers as I find they can clog up my pores, however this glides over to provide a smooth canvas. 

GROUNDED EGYPTIAN GOLD RETINOL SERUM - OCTOBER LAVELLA BOX*

"Achieving youthful and radiant skin just got easier with this anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle retinol formula. 

Loved by many, by adding moisture to the skin whilst improving on dark spots and uneven skin tone."

I love serums and love hyaluronic acid so when combining the two it's a dream come true. This leaves

 my skin feeling super smooth and hydrated without being sticky or heavy. Not only does this leave 

my skin feeling amazing but also the dark spots and pigmentation has significantly reduced.

PROJECT LIP PLUMP AND COLOUR (STRIP) - FEBRUARY ROCCABOX*

"Ground breaking silky smooth matte lipstick, paired with plumping technology to not only add colour to 

the lips but also add hydration and instantly increase them in size and volume for a fuller defined lip."

I've always been insecure about the size of my lips and wanting injections has been on my to-do list 

for quite a while. But whilst waiting, this plumping lipstick is perfect. The shade 'strip' is a matte light 

peachy nude that compliments all skin tones, whilst visibly plumping the lips in seconds.

SKIN CHEMISTS ROSE QUARTZ LIP PLUMP - ROCCABOX ADVENT CALENDAR

"Designed to plump the lips without the pain whilst also hydrating and nourishing the lips, leaving them 

looking soft and glossy; providing all the benefits of a lip balm with the appearance of a lip gloss."

I love anything that nourishes my lips whilst adding a glossy finish to them, combining that with a lip 

plump is my perfect lip product. This leaves my lips feeling super hydrated and nourished and plumped, 

not only instantly but for the remainder of the day, without the added pain of a regular lip plumper.

MURAD REPLENISHING MULTI ACID PEEL - ROCCABOX ADVENT CALENDAR

"Unlike any other peel, this removes more than just the surface layer of skin. Combining multi-level 

exfoliation, youth-boosting treatment and intensive nourishment to give you an instant glow up."

This is one of very few skincare products that I notice an instant result with. My skin immediately looks 

fresher and replenished, by removing any and all build up collected on my skin. I have noticed my skin is 

brighter and clearer after using this, less pigmentation and dark spots, as well as smooth to touch!
