5.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons but overall.... GREAT!, December 27, 2010

Okay, let start with the CONS: the toy is not worth the price because it includes a 10 page "recipe book" detailing how to make all the "products", several small bags of citric acid and a few really cheap plastic containers for storing "products." You could go to an all natural body product website, get some ideas and use household containers to make everything. So, think before you spend on this.

Pros: Okay, I DID spend money on this and... my daughter loved it! The value of the time spent with my daughter was truly priceless. If I have to waste a few bucks to initiate a fun evening... so be it!

Overall: Buy it and have fun!

I purchased the Spa Lab for my 9 year old granddaughter. She loves fashion and looking good so she immediately went to explore what could be done with the spa. She used cucumber slices or tea bags to put on her eyes to remove bags under the eyes. She put an avacado "mask" on her face. There were items in the kit to make scented disks to put in closets or drawers. She thoroughly enjoyed doing facials with her mom. This is fun and the items that aren't provided in the kit are easily available in the kitchen.

My 6 year old daughter loves this kit. It is great if you want ideas for making your own natural spa products, rather than subjecting yourself to chemical filled products. I rated it a 3, however, because although it does have a cute recipe book, the recipes could easily be found in a variety of sources. It is a little expensive for what is basically just recipes, glitter, and a few plastic containers.
