Kiss My Face Orange U Smart Bubble Wash

Here’s another kid’s product from Kiss My Face.  This has the same orange vanilla scent that’s in the shampoo and conditioner I reviewed yesterday, and just like it, the bubble wash is not tear-free, so please be careful if you use this on smaller children.

Bubble Wash can be used as a bubble bath or body wash (I know, I’m so smart).  Since Liam takes more showers than baths now, he uses this on a mesh scrubby to wash his little self.  In a scrubby, this creates a lot of fun bubbles, and it gets him clean without drying his skin.

If your child likes a lot of bubbles in a bubble bath, he or she might be disappointed in this as a bubble bath.  The good news, for the environment and your child(ren)’s health, is that the chemicals that make bubble baths so bubbly isn’t present in this product.  The bad news is that while it does produce bubbles, it’s not as many and they aren’t as long lasting.  On the occasion that Liam takes a bubble bath, though, he doesn’t seem to mind.

LUSH Bubble Bars

If you’ve never heard of a bubble bar or seen one before, LUSH’s bubble bars are bubble bath in solid form.  You crumble the bars up, throw them in a bath, and watch them bubble.  Before you crumble up a whole bubble bar though, you should know that these things have serious bubble power, and most users break them up and use a smaller section in the bath.  Since my son is the only one who uses them in our house, bubble bars just get crumbled and stored, and I pick out pieces from the bag for his bath.  I generally get about 7-10 baths out of each bubble bar this way, with mounds of bubbles that make my little guy happy.

I’m doing the same thing with the Bubble Bar reviews as I did with the Ballistics and doing them all in one post, so here goes:

I only bought Karma bubble bar because… well… I didn’t actually buy it.  I got it free in a store promotion, and I’m not one to turn down free stuff, unless I really can’t stand the item.  While I’m not crazy about the Karma scent, I thought “Hey!  Free bubble bath for Mr. Pants!”  Can you really argue with that logic?

Anyway, Karma is a pretty orange and yellow swirled color, makes mounds of bubbles, and the scent lingers.

Ma Bar is another LUSH candy scented item, but this one doesn’t smell sickly sweet like other items are prone to.  This one is half chocolate and half honey toffee, though it smells more like vanilla to my nose.  Either way, not bad.  And the scent is light.  This is just an all around good bubble bar.

Retro Bubble Bars (available only online):

I’ll let you in a little secret:  my son likes pink bubble baths that smell like candy, which just cracks me up something fierce.  I only discovered this little tidbit of info after buying him a Happy Birthday bubble bar.  The bar itself is a light to medium pink with a slight floral scent that softens even more in the bath.

Marzibain smells just like its namesake marzipan, which is a confection made of almond paste.  Marzibain smells just like almonds and has a light sweetness to it.  It even has a little almond on top.
