Advantages: smells nice

Disadvantages: you need to use a lot per bath

I occasionally get a big order online from Avon, and one of the products I got with my last order was Avon Senses Re-Charge Foam Bath.

~About the range~

This is a foam bath from Avon Senses Range. There are several fragrances in the range, but the one I bought is called Re-Charge, which is Mandarin & Spice scented.

~Packaging~

This comes in a tall, clear bottle, with the orange lid matching the colour of the product inside. Each bottle is 500ml, so you get quite a lot of bubble bath for your money.
The bottles have flip-top caps, which open sideways. I find them quite difficult to open, especially when my nails are short. I think it would perhaps be better if they used a screw-top lid, or at least made the cap easier to open.

~Using it~

Like any other bubble bath, this should be poured under warm running water. Although this comes in a fairly big bottle, I find you have to use quite a lot of the product to get a decent amount of bubbles, which is disappointing.
As soon as you pour this into the bath, you will notice the strong zesty fragrance of the mandarin. It’s quite strong, but not so much that it is overpowering. It also contains spices – although no-where does it state what these are – but I can’t detect these in the smell of the product.

~What I thought~

I like citrus fragrances, so loved the mandarin smell, however it is strong, so if citrus isn’t your thing, then this probably isn’t for you. I didn’t find that the smell stayed on my skin at all, after getting out of the bath.
As I said above, you need to use a fair bit to get a decent amount of bubbles, but when you do, the bubbles last until the end of the bath – even if you are having a long soak – and the fragrance also lasts, which is good.
I have sensitive skin (and eczema) and this didn’t irritate my skin at all, however I didn’t find it made my skin feel any different – it wasn’t softer or smoother after using this for example.

~Price and Availability~

The normal price for this is £3.00 for 500ml, which I would say is too expensive. I bought it at a reduced price of £1.00 which is more suitable to the product, given that you need to use a lot for each bath.
As it is an Avon brand product you can only buy from your local avon rep, or www.avonshop.co.uk

~Overall Verdict~

At £3.00 a bottle, I probably wouldn’t buy this again, however I might consider it if it was on offer again. I liked the smell, but thought it was a shame it didn’t stay on my skin.
