Smart Lab All Naturals Spa Lab, Multi Color

Great! As advertised and on time.

I won't repeat what has already been said. Yes, it's expensive; yes the ingredients do not really come with the kit; and yes my six-year-old and 10-year-old daughter loved it. One thing that hasn't really been mentioned that makes the kit better than most of the other spa kits/books I have seen is that the recipes for the most part include ingredients that are commonly already in our house. Most of the ingredients are things like egg, yogurt, oatmeal, and honey, etc. The only ingredient I didn't have for a recipe in the book was avocado and at least that won't be hard to find. Other spa books have had me searching all over town for hard-to-find ingredients, and we have generally given up on the recipe or book by the time we actually locate the very expensive ingredients. This book is not like that – we had most of the ingredients already on hand and could start concocting as soon as the package was open. That makes it five stars for us!

great fun

This was a fun kit. While you have to add many of your own products (like brown sugar) the kit was still quite nice as it had things like glitter (something i don't have sitting around the house) and convenient cups to put things in. There were several recipes and everything could be done quite easily. Each project is easy to customize as well.My daughter and I continue to have fun with this set and even branched off into making other natural products (like hair moisturizer). Fun kit, highly recommend. However, you will need to add some of your own ingredients, but all are easy to find.

One thing to note, this is basically just a recipe book. With the exception of the citric acid packets, you have to supply all of the ingredients for the different treatments. That's not a huge deal, as most of them are common household pantry ingredients (lemon, egg, oatmeal, yogurt, etc) but don't expect to open the box and immediately have treatments ready to mix. You may have to make a trip to the grocery store! That being said, it's still a fun little project. My 6 and 9 year olds were very excited to try a few recipes. The face masks we picked to try first were easy to prepare, but they made more product than we needed. It would definitely be good to use with a group of girls at a slumber party. That's the benefit of making everything yourself, you can do it as often as you want.
