I tried a £60 beauty box with over £215 worth of products from Kate Middleton-loved brand

Recently I've had the absolute pleasure of moving house for the second time in 10 months, those of us who have had to pack our entire lives into the back of a van will know that it can be pretty exhausting to say the least. It also caused my skin to be dry, dull and generally crying for help. This wasn't helped by me boxing up my favourite skincare items with the delusion I'd have them back out in a couple of weeks because moving over Christmas shouldn't take too long.

Luckily I got my hands on the Rodial Beauty Box from OK!, which is packed from products from the premium skincare brand reportedly loved by Kate Middleton. Inside there were two face masks, a lip mask, a blush, lip oil and my favourite item: a Vitamin C Face Souffle worth £85.

My skin hasn't felt this pampered in a long time. The cream goes on so smoothly and leaves my skin glowing and moisturised, I'd say the £60 beauty box is worth getting your hands on for this cream alone. I also loved the sheet masks - although I will say they don't stick onto your face as well as cheaper options from the likes of Garnier. I loved how they made my skin feel but found I had to lay down in order to keep the mask on the lower half of my face.

I think the product I was most nervous about was the lip oil, in the bottle it looks like a very pigmented pale pink that I know in a lipstick wouldn't work against my complexion. Once I put it on my worries disappeared, there isn't any strong pigment inside so my lips just looked very glossy. There was a delicious smell, maybe from the sweet almond oil, that I was instantly a huge fan of. I didn't notice a big difference to the size of my lips but perhaps that's something I'll notice more over time. What I do know is it's now my go-to lip product.

It's not as sticky as a traditional gloss but I do find that if my hair blows into my face while I'm wearing it then a few strands might stick. I'm what my friends call a 'yapper' so the lip mask was more of a challenge but it still made my lips feel nice. These types of masks are ideal for a little pamper session and I always feel a little better after using them. The blush drops were thicker than I expected and extremely metallic when fresh out of the bottle but after blending them in I appeared to just have a bit of a natural glow. I normally go for this £5 stick blush from Superdrug but I found this blended really well and had an easy application - although I probably opt for stick blushes for carry-on plane journeys.
