| sblaydes's Full Review: Bath Boutique Barbie - Blonde |
If you have read my last two reviews, then you know that I have a daughter who loves to play with her Barbie's. It is not uncommon to walk by the playroom door and hear my daughter talking with her Barbie's, changing their outfits, setting up their house, driving in their car, walking their many dogs (seriously), etc ... So when I found Bath Boutique Barbie at our local Toys 'R Us ~ buy one ~ get one free ~ I quickly snatched up two Bath Boutique Barbie's knowing full well that one would be for my daughter and the other would be for a future birthday present for one of the many parties that my daughter seems to get invited to. :)
~ In the present drawer Barbie sits ~
Now, as much as I would have liked to have come home and given my daughter this Bath Boutique Barbie ~ for no reason at all ~ I used my better judgement and placed it in the present drawer and waited for the perfect time to give it to her. About a month later my daughter had come down with this mysterious fever which lingered on for days. By day number three being quarantined from her brother, I remembered Bath Boutique Barbie sitting in the drawer and decided it was time to surprise my daughter with her.
~ Hey ... Barbie has the same robe as me! ~
Honestly, I find this a compliment that Barbie would wear a robe so very similar to my own. But does she have to look so much better in it?! I know ... it's Barbie! Bath Boutique Barbie's robe is actually what first caught my eye when scanning the Barbie section at Toys 'R Us. The robe is made of a soft white material that I found to be very similar to terry cloth. There is blue piping around the the sleeves and the front of the robe along with a blue belt to keep this robe tight around Barbie's waist. My daughter didn't have a robe as an accessory for Barbie so I just knew that she would love this!
~ What's on underneath that robe? ~
Bath Boutique Barbie was obviously meant to go into the bathtub with our children to enjoy some fun in the water and bubbles. Underneath that robe Barbie sports a two piece swim suit which is blue with a stripe of white with a smaller stripe of red running through it. It is very cute! So not only does this Barbie go into the bathtub with my daughter, she has also been known to go into the pool and has also made a few trips to the beach.
~ What all comes with Bath Boutique Barbie? ~
~ two piece swimsuit ~ As I mentioned above it is very cute!
~ White robe with blue piping ~ Looks very similar to my own!
~ A pair of slippers ~ These slipper are white with blue ripping also to match Barbie's robe. We have found that these do not stay on her feet well and have since been placed in my daughter's accessories box.
~ Bottle of bubble solution ~ This is a small bottle of bubble solution that I found did not work well in producing the amount of bubbles my daughter would have liked to have had! Personally, that did not bother me much as I am extremely cautious with having my daughter take a long bath with bubbles. (A very good friend of mine's daughter used to take long frequent baths with bubbles until her daughter came down with a urinary tract infection. Her doctor informed her that bubble baths are not good for young girls because of this cause.)
~ Two Barbie size bubble bath bottles ~ As with most Barbie's, they come with some sort of small accessory. These two small blue bottles are very small so please take precautions if younger children are around.
~ Barbie size washcloth ~ White in color, this is another small accessory, but one that my daughter found quite amusing! :)
~ Barbie brush ~ Barbie will need this brush after her bath ... or swim in the pool!
~ Cute carrying case ~ Barbie and her accessories easily fit inside this plastic carrying case for an easy mode of transportation.
~ So ... was this Bath Boutique Barbie a hit in this house? ~
If I said no, you would all be shocked, right?! Of course she was a hit in this house! My daughter has enjoyed taking baths with Barbie or even a swim in the pool and always has her robe nearby so that she doesn't get cold! For the five dollars that I paid for this particular Barbie, it was money well spent! And if you happen to see one in the store ~ pick it up and give it a try! I would imagine that you would get it for a very good price as it is an older model.
