Love it: the Angela Caglia La Vie En Rose Face Roller

From you minute you open the box and see this beauty nestled in its silk/satiny-y nest, you know you are in possession of something special. It’s the Angela Caglia La Vie En Rose Face Roller, and it is as beautiful to use as it is to look at!

Celebrity facialist Angela Caglia (above) has been called the “Hollywood Glow Girl”, and she has challenged her energy of late into creating a concise collection of small batch and responsibly sourced skincare that delivers luminous and age-defying results. The collection is a mix of chic, sustainable and clean, which makes it highly covetable from the moment you lay eyes on its European black glass packaging.

Rolling is a centuries-old technique used to de-puff, boost circulation and redefine the contours of your face, and it’s a modality that Caglia has harnessed over her two decades plus time in the industry. Her roller is made from ethically sourced Rose Quartz, and is designed to help drain fluid and improve elasticity, resulting in bright and healthy looking skin. 

Used alone or alongside your favourite oils, moisturisers and serums, this beautiful to use tool is now an essential in my skincare arsenal. In this humidity it has been amazing storing my roller in the fridge for a cooling, indulgent, at-home treatment, and it has made major in roads when it comes to dealing with morning puffy eyes. I roll in soft, upward and outward strokes on the neck and face, sometimes all the way down to my collarbone. You can also drop it in a warm (not hot) cup of water for a few seconds and use it to enhance the penetration of your favourite face oil, which feels even more indulgent.

At $112 this Angela Caglia roller may be a bit pricier than the cheap jade rollers offered online, but if you want to invest in taking your #selfcare to a whole new level?  Then this is one very attractive proposition that will help you do just that.

Next on my Angela Caglia wishlist from Mecca Cosmetica is the Power Cleansing Balm, a luxurious cleansing balm with a unique whipped texture that I’ve been doing lots of research about online. Loaded with super-antioxidant meadowfoam seed oil to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles and a blend of rose, chamomile, vitamin E and shea butter to soften, hydrate and boost radiance, it sounds like exactly what post-summer skin needs. Preserved in a UV-protected, black-violet glass jar with sustainable, recycled packaging it also looks absolutely amazing.
