Advantages: Lovely smell and does what it says

Disadvantages: The normal price and availability

Please ignore the picture as the one I have is orange but is comes in different fragrances.

Introduction
=========

I was given an Avon product for Christmas, which I was not that keen on. It was Avon Senses My Moment, you know the purple one. Well I did not like the smell of it so I thumbed through an Avon catalogue to investigate whether there were any different fragrances and I saw this one. This is Avon Senses Recharge and has a fragrance of Mandarin and Spice.

The Product
=========

It comes in a clear plastic bottle so that you can see the orange liquid contained inside; there is also a picture of an orange on the front of the bottle.

Now according to the back of the bottle this is supposed to "Awaken and revitalise your senses with this uplifting zesty fragrance", well I'll find that out after the bath test.

There is a nice flip top to open the bottle and it is not too difficult to flip either. I always have to have a quick sniff and it has a lovely orange smell, it is quite strong but not over powering at all.

The Bath Test
==========

I have been working evenings lately so when I get home I am dead on my feet and my feet are throbbing so this is a perfect time to test out this product. I flip the top open and squeeze the bottle for some of the liquid to squirt out under the running water.

It bubbles up very easily and I can smell the sweet fragrance from the Bath Foam. There is a fair amount of bubbles just enough really they are not taking over the bath and I did not have to use too much of the liquid to create these bubbles.

The water has not turned orange like I excepted it too it is still fairly clear, once you get past the bubbles that is. The smell is wonderful and while I lay back to soak my aching joints I find it very soothing.

After spending 45 minutes soaking in the bath I finally decide that I should get out, get dry and snuggle into my bedclothes and dressing gown. I feel better for having a bath now do not get me wrong I am not ready for a five mile run (I don't think any bath foam is that good) but I definitely feel more awake than just before getting in the bath

Other Information
=============

There is no directions no the back of the bottle but there is five other languages on the back; none of which I can understand. There is also a list of ingredients none of which I am going to bore you with.

Overview
=======

This bath foam is quite good; it has a lingering smell and leaves my skin soft and smooth. You also do not need to use much liquid in order to get the desired amount of bubbles. It is designed to help you relax while you bathe and from my testing this works quite well.

My skin felt nice and soft and it had not dried out at all. It had a nice glow about it as well but I am not sure if this was the bath foam or how hot the water was!

I am a little undecided whether I shall buy this bath foam again because I bought it while it was offer at £1.50 but normal selling price is £3.00 which is a little steep for a 500ml bottle.

It is a very good bath foam, it has a nice smell and does what it says it will do and I shall continue to buy it while it is on special offer, get stocked up a bit before the normal price resumes.

Avon products can be bought from their representatives with no delivery charge but I did have to wait about three weeks before I received my order. You can place an order via their website however you will have to pay for postage and packaging but delivery is quicker.

Thanks for reading

P.S The mandarin smell lingered in my bathroom after I was finished for about another forty-five minutes.

Summary: Lovely smell and very good product
