Review: Bright Stripes – Spa*rkle Rainbow Festival Body Art

Bright Stripes Sparkle

Bright Stripes sent us their latest in their spa line of natural beauty goods for free to check out and review. Opinions are our own.

Eva has been experimenting with her hair and makeup recently. I knew that she would be all over some body art. The Bright Stripes Spa*rkle Rainbow Festival Body Art ($19.99) is a set of 6 rainbow colored tattoo markers, 4 colors of shimmer cream, 10 stencil stickers, 25 sticky gems, and easy instructions. Eva used the markers to give her self some tattoos from her favorite shows and books. There were stencils in the set but she always does her own thing. She also enjoys using her brother as a canvas. He enjoys that as well. Here is Eva’s finished artwork.

I think that Eva would also like to try out the Spa*rkle Hair Chalk Pastels and Barrettes Set ($14.99) is a fun way to add temporary color to a few strands of hair or go bold with purple, blue or metallic pink hair stripes. She had green hair this Summer but cannot have colored hair at school. With this set she could color her hair on Friday and have it all washed out before she returns to school the next week. This is also another set that she’d use to experiment on her brother.

Also of note, each of the Spa*rkle kits allow kids to feel good about themselves and have a good experience. Behind the scenes, Bright Stripes made sure none of the ingredients were derived from or tested on animals, and the glitter is ocean-safe and biodegradable.

We received a couple of free YOU*niverse sets from The Horizon Group to play with and review. Opinions are our own.

The 3D Crystal Growing Unicorn was a fun STEM project for Eva to do. She and Allison set the unicorn up and ready to grow crystals. The instructions were easy and other than boiling the water she could do all of the project on her own. Once it was done growing crystals she went and painted the Unicorn and it came out really cool.
