Rodial is a luxury skincare and make-up brand that usually comes with high prices. Luckily, I’ve found a way to try one of its bestsellers for a fraction of the cost
Beauty boxes, both one-off buys and monthly subscriptions, are an excellent way to stock up on products and hopefully discover some new favourites, all while saving loads of money compared to buying the items individually. I’ve was one of the first to get my hands on OK! Beauty Box’s latest monthly box and found some feel gems inside – including a pricey Rodial blusher.
OK! Beauty Box’s May subscription box is called the Easy Breezy Edit, and contains six gorgeous skin, make-up and fragrance products worth over £95 in total. While monthly subscription to OK! Beauty Box costs £15 a month, when you sign up for the first time you get your first box (this box) for £8.99. This technically means that each of the six products inside has a value of around £1.49 each – a huge saving.

The highlight for me inside this month’s OK! Beauty Box – and, I think, worth the cost of signing up alone – is the Rodial Blush Drops in the warm, flattering shade Sunset Kiss. This creamy liquid blush/bronzer hybrid gives a gorgeous sun-kissed glow to the skin; it’s subtly shimmery and light reflective too, leaving a lovely radiant finish (it’s basically your blush, bronzer and highlighter in one).
Despite being a travel-size tube (ideal for holidays), this costs £25 to buy from the Rodial website, so by buying this box you’re not only saving £14 but also getting five other products for free – or another way of looking at it is that every item inside is worth £1.49, including this £25 blush.
Of course, you’re also getting five other brilliant, effortless-to-use products inside, including a huge 200ml bottle of body lotion and a mini bottle of one of my favourite niche fragrance brands. Here’s exactly what’s inside:
- Bellapierre Cosmetics HD Smoothing Primer – 30ml full-size, worth £30
- Rodial Blush Drops Mini in the shade Sunset Kiss – 2g mini, worth £25
- Bondi Sands Tropical Rum Scent Body Moisturiser – 200ml full-size, worth £5.99
- Brushworks Dewy Fine Mist Setting Spray – 150ml full-size, worth £6.99
- Bang Beauty Lipstick in the shade Breezy – 3.2g full-size, worth £15
- Commodity Fragrances in the scent Juice Expressive – 2ml sample size, worth £5
- Plus a voucher to redeem for two copies of OK! Magazine – worth £8.80
The one product I probably won’t use is the lipstick, purely because I’m not a lipstick-wearer at all – but other than that, they’re all really useful, easy to slot into your existing routine, and perfect for this time of year when the weather’s pretty unpredictable.
If you’re thinking ahead to summer and want to bulk-buy all your beauty essentials – or are looking for a lovely gift idea – OK! Beauty Box has also just launched its Summer Beauty Box, containing 12 products from brands such as Trinny London and Nuxe, and worth over £220 – but costs £49.99 to buy.
Other popular monthly beauty subscription boxes include Glossybox and Lookfantastic’s The Box – although it’s worth flagging that this month OK! Beauty Box beats both of these in terms of value for money.
