ZaaBox "Luxe Unwind" November 2018 Review
Enclosed in the box is an info card describing the products and the product ingredients.
Each month the founder Mr. Strong sends a handwritten note, which leaves me blushing.
Balancing Nectar Body Oil – Estimated Value $8.00 (Buy an 8oz bottle for $16.00, currently sold out)
This body oil is infused with dried organic rose buds, and chamomile flowers, to calm my body and senses. There’s a mix of olive, rosehip oil, and aloe vera to seal in the moisture after my shower. The oil left my skin soft. The oil is lightly scented and not appeasing; the aroma may be suiting for others just not for me. That didn’t hinder the use of the body oil. Also, there was no greasy residue.
Unwind Pillow + Body Mist, 4oz – Retail Value $24.00
This pillow and body mist intend to relieve stress with its essential oils, promote relaxation, feelings of happiness, healthy digestion and a balanced mind. I spritzed my body, pillow, and sheets and enjoyed the soothing aroma and slowly drifted off to sleep. As I was reviewing and writing this, I noticed the ingredients and no specific essential oils were listed and ingredients that were foreign to me; one particular ingredient is listed as one of the top ten chemicals to avoid in skin care, butylene glycol. This was alarming since I already used and now I am considering not using in the future.
Sunkissed Sugar Scrub – Estimated Value $10.00
This type of sugar scrub is familiar, a similar body product was in a previous box I reviewed. The texture is creamy, whipped, fluffy, slightly thick, and a lovely floral, aroma. I used the scrub in the shower, and a little goes a long way, it was lathering, smooth, cleansing, will leave you feeling fresh, and glides and blends onto my skin for a light, sweet exfoliation. The product didn’t have any manufacturer info and the info card yielded zero results.
Rejuvenating Under Eye Serum, 18 ml – Retail Value $16.00
This under-eye roller-ball serum intends to lighten dark spots and restore a brighter, even-toned skin. The roller-ball has a cooling sensation when applied under my eye area. I don’t have dark circles and can't speak to the effectiveness of the product.
Phillip Ashley Chocolates- Estimated Value $9.17 (buy a 12-piece box here for $55)
I received a small box with two circular chocolates in the flavor sweet, sweet potato pie. The dark chocolate was sweet with a creamy center. It did not taste like sweet potato pie. The chocolates were handcrafted in small batches using the finest ingredients with fair trade chocolate. I didn’t find this particular set of chocolate on their website, so the value is an estimate.
The Verdict: Another enjoyable box and ZaaBox continues to pamper me monthly as well as leaving me blushing from the handwritten note from Mr.Strong. This month’s $67.17 value is slightly higher than some previous boxes. This month’s “Luxe Unwind” theme was perfect for the cold weather that tends to leave my skin dry; the products will hydrate and moisturize my skin and, with the exception of the one product with harsh chemicals, it was an enjoyable box.
