Bratz funky fashion makeover

With Christmas over and Santa Claus having visited our house we have acquired a few of the Bratz dolls, this being one of them.
It's advertised as being "Hollywood looks for your Bratz and you" so I assume that the make up can be used on the small person although I don't encourage this and haven't suggested it to Little Miss.

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING.

This being a Bratz doll, it's a total nightmare to actually get to the doll- large box with very thick card and plastic and then once this is off there are the obligatory ties to untie.
Once inside, and untied, we can get the doll out. This isn't the usual head but is instead the full doll who is sitting down with knees bent, and although she is plastic, the design is such that she looks like she is wearing some black trousers and gold top.
This being Yasmin, she has wavy brown hair (not plastic, but brushable nylon), larger than possible green eyes and pouty Bratz lips. Her feet are bare so that her toe nails can be painted.
As well as the doll we get the make up and accessories- black brush for keeping her floor length hair neat, a pot of pinky colour nail varnish for finger and toe nails, one pot of lip gloss (pink and glittery), two pots of body glitter (silver and pink) an applicator brush for the glitter, some silver hair glitter in a mascara type tube, and a tube of pink highlighter which I think is for the cheeks but can't be sure.

The large pictures on the back of the box encourage us to: gloss the lips, body shimmer, beautify eyes, paint nails, glitter and colour the hair, and there are certainly the products to do this. The make up products themselves are quite good quality and I have noticed that even when Little Miss and her friends manage to get it all over their hands it causes no nasty reactions and just requires some soap and water to remove. Because the brushes are quite small the make up doesn't tend to get all over the doll, and even with a vaguely steady hand they can make a relatively good job of the finger and toe nails.

WARNINGS...

There are of course some warnings:
* Suitable only for children 6 years and over
* The make up may stain some fabrics, so don't let children play with the stuff on cream carpets.
* Cosmetics may cause a reaction
* Keep nail polish and glitter away from eyes

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

This costs around the £35 mark which is quite expensive but seems to be the going rate for this kind of product.

VERDICT...

The product will appeal to fans of the Bratz dolls. I actually like the fact that it's a full body doll and not just a decapitated head which I always think look a bit weird. The doll is nice and sturdy and although the hair is nylon, it is quite easy to brush and keep it neat and so far hasn't become just a tatty mess.
Although it's quite expensive for what it is, Little Miss has had a lot of fun with this doll and continues to do so. If she makes a mistake with the make up she only has to use a baby wipe to clean her up and start again.

A good gift for a Bratz fan.

Thanks for reading.
