Wild Science Beauty Salon Set - Review

Wild Science Beauty Salon Set
£19.99

"Experiment using this cool Beauty Salon and make lots of bath bombs, scented crystals, scented note paper and much more!"



The trouble with asking anyone brought up on old school Blue Peter (John Noakes, Valerie Singleton and Peter Purves) to review a toy on camera, is that they instantly adopt "TV presenter" persona and give you a full half hour program complete with "here's one I made earlier". Well my sister does, anyway!

I have had to edit her video to within an inch of its life to get it down to my target of under 2 minutes, but I had such a lot of fun doing it.

The toy we were reviewing, the Wild Science Beauty Salon Set, was quite surprisingly - REAL SCIENCE but with a girly twist.

I loved science at school and went on to do my University degree in Chemistry. This kit ticked the boxes for me in terms of the quality of the apparatus and chemicals. The safety goggles took me right back to my days in the lab!

The well illustrated instruction booklet gave clear, step by step instructions for a variety of projects along with the science behind them and information about safety.

The experiment that my sister demonstrates in the video didn't work quite as well  as it could have (I think her soap solution was too dilute and I would have used more of the red colouring) but it does (I hope) give a sense of what the kit is all about. Enjoy!
