July's Roccabox theme is all about looking after your skin during the Summer and the box contains six products, including four full-sized products. It's actually now sold out but I thought I would still talk about what I got in my box this month because there are definitely a few standouts products that I'd never heard of before. July's box value is worth just over £100 and one of the products alone is worth £45 which is crazy! I love that you get high-value products at a cheaper price in Roccabox boxes. Here's what I received and thought about this month's box...
The first product I wanted to talk about is the Glissybrow Brow Mask (5ml) RRP £8* which aims to condition your brows and protects them against the sun, salt, chlorine and brow colouring. I know what you're thinking... "huh what?" I thought the same but I've got to say I have actually really enjoyed using this product. It's infused with organic avocado and castor oil which results in thicker, stronger, healthier-looking brows and guess what? It actually works. I'm guessing because it contains castor oil and castor oil is known for helping your brows and/or lashes to grow. You can often find it in a lot of eyelash serums and things like that. I also really like the smell of the mask as it smells like Marzipan, yum! Although the tub is small, you really do only need a small amount of product per use. I personally use it once or twice a week and that works for me.
Next is the Balance Active Formula Gold Collagen Hydrogel Under Eye Masks RRP £3.99* which come in a box containing 3 pairs of under-eye masks. They claim to rejuvenate and firm your under-eye area and they're free from parabens, gluten and are cruelty-free. I am a fan of under-eye masks because I do suffer from puffiness and dark circles quite bad and my all-time favourites are the Pixi DetoxifEYE Eye Patches which are a bit on the pricey side at £22 a tub but I really can see a difference straight after using them and they're honestly a godsend. The Balance Active Formula ones are nice and refreshing and great if you've had a rubbish nights sleep but I haven't seen any visible results from using them unfortunately but they're okay for the price if you just want to wake up your under-eye area a little. I think I've seen Balance Active Formula in Home Bargains or B&M so they're also easily accessible too.
Another skincare product I received in the box is the Mudmasky Leave-Me-On Summer Mask (40ml) RRP £35.30* which is a brand I'd not heard of before until now. I'll be honest I didn't really get the whole "summer mask" thing if that makes sense. So I've just been using it as a moisturiser when I'm at home but kind of close to my window when I'm doing work just so I feel like I've at least got some protection on my skin. It is only SPF 15 so I wouldn't wear this as my main SPF when I leave the house personally because I like something higher like an SPF 30 or more. But it's lightweight, non-greasy and doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky so I do actually like the Leave-Me-On Summer Mask but I don't use it in the way they say you should use it. It also smells nice too which I'm guessing is down to the summer flowers and Morrocan Lava Clay present in the ingredients.
The product with the most value in this month's box is the Perricone MD No Makeup Instant Blur RRP £45* which sounds right up my street! It's a multi-tasking invisible primer and complexion perfector which blurs and minimises the look of pores, redness, wrinkles and fine lines. It also helps to combat oiliness too. I've used this multiple times already and I do really like it. It really does help to blur and smooth your skin. I think it works best for me when my skin is behaving and looking fairly clear. If I was having a better skin day, I would feel confident enough to wear this on its own with maybe a tiny touch of concealer under my eyes.
I also received the Skimono Intense Nourishment Foot Mask RRP £10* which I'm yet to try because I'm waiting to have a full-on pamper/relaxation day hopefully soon and I'm definitely going to pop this on then. I have been dealing with quite dry heels lately which I talked about on my instagram stories recently so I'm hoping this help that alongside the Flexitol Heel Balm I've just started using. The Skimono Foot Mask contains shea butter, olive oil, tea tree and chamomile so it definitely sounds like a nice treat for your feet.
And lastly is a summer scent to refresh your fragrance wardrobe! I received the Banana Republic Peony & Peppercorn* however, they also had three different scents from Kiernan NYC. I love anything Peony scented so I feel like out of the four you could've received, I definitely lucked out and got a fragrance I knew I would love before I even gave it a try. The only problem now is that I kind of want to buy the full-size but I already have quite the collection of perfumes going on at the minute. Maybe when I finish one of the bottles, I'll pick the Banana Republic one up!
