Description of MGA Bratz Magic Make Up Studio Playset with Katia

The Bratz Magic Make Up Salon has a working sink and shower. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Real working sink; makeup safe for children The Bad: Tattoo airbrush tricky for child to master In a Nutshell: Encourages creativity, design At a Glance Ages: 6 and up Requires: 4 AA batteries (not included)

Sink and Shower Really Work
The Magic Make Up Salon assembles easily and is ready for use within seconds by snapping the two base pieces together, inserting the batteries at the bottom of the set, and activating the water feature. This is accomplished simply by pouring water into the sink then flipping the switch at the base to the on position. Within a few seconds, the shower is ready for use. The doll is constructed of soft plastic with partially posable limbs A minor quirk is that the doll's legs aren't posable, so that while in the salon chair she can't bend her legs into a realistic-looking seated position. This, however, is offset by the fully reclining salon chair which allows her to be in a supine position with her head and neck against the sink bowl for her hair treatments.

Lots of Beauty Treatments
The play-set comes with a wide array of accessories--stencils, tattoo pens, body glitter gloss, eyebrow makeup, top eye-shadow, mid eye-shadow, iris color, eyelashes, lip color--as well as props that encourage the imaginative play that comes with the "salon"--the mirror, styling tools, TV set, and water bottles.

Two primary benefits of a toy like this leap to mind. First, your child gets to experiment with color and design by learning how cosmetics enhance (or sometimes detract from) natural beauty. Because the make up is safe for human skin, she will be able to see the effect of her handiwork on both the doll's face and her own. Second, since the play-set is marketed as a "styling salon," not just a learning tool for how to apply cosmetics and temporary tattoos, the imaginative aspects of this toy work in tandem with artistic ones. Presumably, and perhaps ideally, this is socially oriented--a styling salon where "Katia" invites her "friends" (that is, your child's friends and their dolls).

All tools and features are in excellent working order. There's a bit of confusion about how to properly load the tattoo pen in the airbrush, but once this is mastered (you may need to demonstrate for your child), the glitter, the games, and the giggles begin.
