Unboxing! VIPBox November | Ziaja


Note: Sorry for the low quality of the photo's but lightning is currently not great in my apartment + de products I photographed were really shiny, which made this combination of circumstances not really ideal for this article.

This weekend I found the Novemeber VIPBox in my mailbox! Yeey! This time it was a bigger box. It actually didn't fit through the opening of my mailbox, so it was delivered at my neighbor's.
I already started to wonder why it took so long: turns out, it has been there for four days! That wasn't really great to find out. But OK. I got it now.

VIPBox had this month a really cool box: Ziaja box. Ziaja - a body and skin care brand - is now also available in Holland which is great news ofcourse. This is why VIPBox has made a Ziaja box for november, so VIPBox members can get to know this brand.
Ziaja is a well priced product. Not really cheap, as if it's a pitty brand, but surely not super expencing. It's environmentally friendly (which is definitely why this brand deserves a plus-plus). And last, but not least, it is really good for your skin.


The previous box also contained a product of this brand. That was a hand cream - cashmere proteins shea butter. An A-MA-ZING product! Really (Review coming soon!). So I already have some good experiences with this brand. I'm only more curious about the other products of it.

What is in this box? Let's take a look.


The first thing I saw was actually the card which describes all the products, as usual. It says, there are 8 full size products in the box, which really made me happy actually, because I know of VIPBox they usually have a maximum of 5 full size products in their boxes. So that was a very pleasant surprise. There was also a coupon with a discount code to get 15% discount in the webshop. Always nice to get that!

1. Cacao Butter Face Cream.


First things first, this cacao butter cream smells amazing! And the jar is just really cute. It's smaller than it looks on the photo and the color is lovely.

This Cacao Butter Cream is a nourishing and protective cream with Cacao Butter. The cream holds the moisture in the skin, making your skin stay soft for a long time. It's perfect to use it, especially when you are outside often or when you cycle a lot.

OR just if you love chocolate of course.

2. Manuka Tree Peeling Paste



My expectations for this product are high. Because it smells good, the substance looks really great and... I don't know, It just really seems a very good product to use regularly, when you wake up, and your face is still oily from your sleep. I think it would lighten up your face, so it wouldn't look like the face of that girl who obviously didn't sleep more than four hours... (Yeah, don't ask... bad experiences). Well, the only way to find out is to try this beauty (review coming soon!)

This Manuka Tree Peeling Paste removes excess sebum and has a antibacterial activity. The creamy substance  with fine exfoliating properties reduces skin imperfections and impurities, and cleanses the pores. It's perfect for a oily or combined skin type.


3. Eye Cream Cornflower







I have been looking for an eye cream for a very long time. And now I've got one! Thank you, VIPBox! I only hope now, that this eye cream is a good one. I really need one that would make those dark circles around my eyes disappear. I am so jealous of people who don't have this problem!

This light and fragrance-free eye cream contains a rich amount of active working substances, which reduces dark eye circles and smooths out fine wrinkles. It firms, hydrates, nourishes and moisturises the skin. And last, but not least, it may be used by contact lens wearers.

4. Goat's Milk Body Balsem



Goat's Milk? Hearing this one for the first time! I never heard before of a product which contains Goat's Milk. Maybe it's just me, but this is really rare. But still... My curiosity is hard to be tamed right now.
This body balm smells, by all means, wonderful. It reminds me a little bit of the products of Dove, but this one is more softer, I guess..? I don't really know which word to use.

Because of the goat's milk extract in the balm your skin becomes super soft, well-hydrated and well-cared. Goat's milk is very suitable for people with a sensitive skin type and for people with a dry to very dry skin type. The smell of this balm is mild creamy. The balm is rich but it's easy to smears it.


5. Sensitive Creamy Anti-Perspirant


After hearing and reading about the negative (actually really bad) effects of deodorant, I stopped using it for a while. It wasn't much a problem for me, because I have never really had bad experiences with a bad smell or something like that (More about this later). But the idea of not using deodorant was quite hard to accept. And sometimes, like when I went to sport or something, I just really wanted to use some deodorant. It's a psychological thing, I know that. 
So I started to look for deodorants with not much chemicals in it. but there weren't a lot of brands which had that. Only two or something. But now I know that Ziaja has that too. 

Still, this deodorant has perfume (Which smells admirable, by the way), which is often chemical. That's a drawback. 

This Sensitive Creamy Anti-Persipirant is especially suitable for the sensitive skin type. It contains no parabens, dyes or alcohol, but it has a touch of fragrance. And it doesn't leave spots on the clothes!

Face Masks and samples



The other three full size products were three face masks.

6. Phyto Aktiv

This mask strengthens the walls of the capillaries and reduces the risk that these capillaries break of so you have less chance of redness in the face. It also reduces the risk of wrinkles and irritations.
I don't really have problems with redness in my face, so It's not really a mask I would use. So I might do a Give Away, for the one who like to have it..? Let me know in the comments below!

7. Goat's milk face mask

Because of the goat's milk extract, the skin becomes soft, hydrated and well-cared. This mask also makes sure that the wrinkles are less visible and the skin ages less quickly.

8. Rose butter. 

This face mask is tended to be for the 30+ agers among us. It reduces wrinkles, gives the skin elasticity and smells like rose petals.
This is thus indefinatly not a mask for me. So this one goes to my sweet mama.

So, this was the VIPBox of november!

Much Love <3
