Benefit Cosmetics Box o’ Powder in Rockateur Review and Swatch!
Like most beauty lovers, I easily get attracted to pretty, shiny things. Aside from the product itself, the beautiful packaging attracts me as well. When the Benefit Rockateur Box o’ Powder came out, I knew that I have to own it. I waited for a while before I finally bought this months ago, and it has been a favorite since then. (My Benefit Haul!).
Benefit Rockateur Box o’ Powder is a rose gold cheek powder said to give a provocative flush with a rush of heat. It costs $28.00 (USD), Php 1,600, with 5.0 g Net wt. 0.17 oz of product. I bought it from www.benefitcosmetics.com, but it is locally available at Benefit Cosmetics Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Grand Mall Makati, Trinoma, and SM Mall Of Asia.
I like the packaging because of how light it is, though it is a bit bulky and takes up more space. It comes with a brush made with natural goat fibers that works well. There is also a plastic that separates the brush which is a good thing especially if I’ll bring it for travel. I don’t have to bring another brush to work this.
It is very delightful to look at. If only the embossed design won’t come off, but it will eventually and it will lose the shimmer and will show a more satin texture when applied on the cheeks.
Here are some swatches of blushes that I find similar to Rockateur. You can tell that it has some shimmers on it, but if you can zoom the picture to the tiniest pixel, the Rockateur has a reddish/pinkish tiny glitters on it which is different from Milani Baked Blush Berry Amore that has more noticeable gold glitters. theBalm Cabana Boy is a mauve and darker, while MAC Blushbaby is more neutral and matte.
Here is another closer swatch, but too bad that it doesn’t give justice on its beauty. Better swatch it at your nearest counter to see how truly beautiful it is! I also want to point out that it has a scent just like all other Benefit Cosmetics’ blushes. It smells fresh, and citrusy to me, but definitely not too strong.
If I am in a hurry, I always grab this beautiful blush because it goes with everything! The price is worth the beauty of this blush. You should definitely check this out on the nearest Benefit Cosmetics counter.
This is what my blush looks like now. See? It already lost the embossed design and you can tell that I had used it a lot. If you only knew how many blushes that I have! I should give the others more love. Hehe
This blush is definitely a must-have to all of us blush-loving beauty junkies. I swear that you’ll love it. It will surely be a staple on your makeup bag. Perhaps, I should stop myself from too much raving now.

You look so fresh and sunny with this blush!

Thanks, Pat! It’s a perfect everyday blush!

I swatched Majorette, but I forgot to swatch this! Ack, sayang.
From comparisons with Nars Orgasm, this seems to be warmer, but I think they both have that same glow-y, flushed impact. 🙂
Juvy
Iba yung glow nito kasi hindi gold. Nars Orgasm has more obvious shimmer.

I appreciate the comparison! Ana Victorino raved about this when we were having a lunch meeting, and mega-swatch talaga kami while eating. It’s been a while since I tried something new from Benefit; this reminded to to visit their store this week. 🙂

I have Dandelion and it’s my no-brainer pink. I think this is good for a more obvious (but still very pretty!) blush 🙂
Juvy
I guess Dandelion is really for light skintones like you while Hervana looks better on me.
Natalie
Rockateur is such a great shade. <3 It looks great on you!
Juvy
Thanks, Nat! I also see you wearing it often. Such a very pretty shade indeed! 🙂
Victoria
Surprisingly, this is the only Box O Powder blush that did not find its way to my list. It looks very pretty on you tho!
Hollie
it’s a really pretty blush! I like that it’s not over the top kind of shade, and it’s something that is perfect for everyday use. The Balm Cabana Boy is still on my to-buy list. hehe

Cabana boy is gorgeous especially on medium to dark skin tones! 🙂

Out of all the Benefit blushes,Rockateur is the one I have contemplated buying the most but honestly, I haven’t because of the cardboard packaging. The shade though, ang ganda! And perfect for the Filipina skintone di ba?
Juvy
Yup, it takes a bit of space but I think it’s still handy because it already came with a brush! 🙂
Natasja
Oh my! This blush looks amazing. The color is so warm .. I wonder what it will look like on my skin tone. Time to hit the stores soon ^^
Juvy
It will definitely look great on you because the shade suits all! 🙂
Shayne

Juvy
Berry Amore has super super tiny gold glitters. Not visible unless you look super close! 🙂 I recommend you get it! 🙂
