Advantages: With a bottle that kids will surely love, Sweet scent

Disadvantages: None

My 2-year old boy simply hated bath time. Almost each morning when I tried to lead him to the bathroom door, he would shout and run away from me as fast as he could like Bugs Bunny in Loony Tunes.

Each bath time was a struggle for me. All I wanted was to get over with it and proceed to my house chores. I have been buying bathroom toys that captured his interest at first and made him rush to the bathroom door ahead of me. However, when he would be tired of those toys, it would be difficult to take him to the bathroom again.

When my Avon Representative showed me an Avon Catalogue, I was attracted with the bottle of Avon Kids Mild & Gentle Bubble Bath so I ordered two bottles.

My order arrived after 4 days. When I unpacked the 2 plastic bottles of Avon Bubble bath along with 2 lipsticks and a body lotion, he threw away his ball and grabbed a bottle of this bubble bath thinking it was a toy. I smiled knowing it was a good start of a peaceful bath time

THE TOY... OOPS..THE BOTTLE
************************

Avon Kids Mild & Gentle Bubble Bath comes in a blue plastic container with blue flip-top cap. My toddler tried to open the cap but it was too tight for him to open. When I flipped it up with my thumb, it easily opened. I can't tell if all Avon Kids Mild & Gentle Bubble Bath container caps are intently made tightly but I was thankful I got a tight cap so my toddler couldn't open it up on his own.

The plastic bottle looks like a toy. It has the design of a chubby and friendly guy without hands and with his smiling face printed at the front. He seemed to be sitting as his feet were printed at the bottom part of the bottle. My toddler loves to talk to this chubby-bottle guy as I lather him.
The transparent blue bottle makes me see through the content clearly.

THE SCENT
*********

Oh I love the sweet scent and I know my toddler loves it too. It smells like blueberry candy with sugar. At first, my kid though that it was a liquid candy so he tried tasting it though his finger while I was not looking and he cried due to the bitter taste. He didn't do it again.

The sweet scent filled the bathroom each time I would be using this bubble bath and its sweetness lingers for about 15 minutes on my toddler's skin after stepping out from the bathroom.


*********
THE LIQUID
*********

Avon Kids Mild & Gentle Bubble Bath is not so thick nor runny. A 250-ml bottle is good for about 8 uses. I put a generous amount of the liquid on water and I agitate the water with my hand. the more I agitate it, the more bubbles appear. The bubbles disappear in about 2 minutes but agitating the water again creates bubbles.


*****************
THE EFFECT ON SKIN
*****************
Avon Kids Mild & Gentle Bubble Bath is mild and doesn't dry out my toddler's skin. Well, it is intended for kids and I already expected it to be gentle. Avon advertised that this bubble bath is safe for all skin types and ultra gentle on kids' skin.

I personally think that what Avon boasts about this product is true enough. My toddler has not experienced itchiness due to dry skin with it and it has not caused him rashes. My finger does not leave a mark when I run it through his skin after using this one.


********
THE PRICE
********

The regular price on Avon Catalogue is £2.50 for a 250-ml bottle but I got it for £1.75 as one of sale items on the campaign month that I bought it. It's a good buy for £1.75 but buying it in its regular price is not a good idea as it becomes too expensive when bought at £2.50. Well, buying Avon Kids Mild & Gentle Bubble Bath is like buying both a toy bottle and the liquid bubble bath soap content so I think some mums would consider purchasing it at £2.50.

Summary: A sweet-scented bubble bath for kids in a toy-like bottle.
