We enjoyed it doing together. It was time spent nice. My skin fell soft.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
Yes she did, but she didn't like peel off mask as it was painful to remove. Maybe.

What was your favourite product in the range and why? They were all on the same level so no preferences.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?
Yes for a treat but not for often use.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?
I found it a bit of a faff and a bit too messy to remove the face masks. It was fun as a one off, but not something I’d want to do regularly.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
enjoyable as a one off, but not worth the effort to do again.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?
we both preferred the peel off mask

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?
not really

We enjoyed a little pamper session together and that was fun and nice to do - and skin was definitely soft afterwards.
We'd do something similar again when we have the chance for a girlie night but perhaps my daughter at 13 was a little too old for these specific products and we would go for something more grown up, if I'm being honest.
But we did like both the chocolate (favourite) one and the rose clay - not the peel off one.

Would recommend to friends with younger children however.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

We used the masks as something to do together, like a min home spa.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?

Yes, she did enjoy them. Unlike a lot she enjoyed the peel off mask but wasn’t keen on any of the scents as they were all strong and sweet.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?

The peel off mask, satisfying and my face really soft afterwards.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

Yes, would be nice for a sleepover. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to try them.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

We enjoyed using the masks, it felt like a little pamper session & we had a giggle about how we looked with them on. I tried the pink rose clay mask and it dried very tight. Skin felt nice afterwards, maybe a little dry but followed up with my usual moisturiser and it was fine.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
DD nabbed the peel off mask and loved it, it did take quite a long time to dry properly so that it would peel off instead of leaving sticky patches.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?
I liked the smell of the rose mask, and we both liked the chocolate. I felt the peel off mask smelled quite synthetic - wasn’t sure what it was supposed to smell of!

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

Yes, but probably for older children as I don’t think younger children would enjoy it as much.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

My 12yo DD took these round her friend’s house for a sleepover. They did the chocolate and rose masks and both enjoyed having a pamper and also having something to do on a sleepover. They said their skin felt nice and soft afterwards.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?

Yes, and yes, I would probably do one with her.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?

The chocolate one as it smells nice and if you look at the ingredients list on the back this one is slightly better Shea butter ratio wise than the others. We didn’t do the peel off mask as I was worried DD’s skin is too sensitive.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

Maybe. I like the fact that the ingredients aren’t terribly chemical like some masks. I also think it’s a nice thing to do as an irregular treat. I do not, however, think children or young teens should have a ‘skin care routine’ and I think the Barbie branding appeals to kids that are too young for face masks really. I think 12yrs plus would be better, with different branding. Love that they’re vegan and cruelty free but both of these umbrella terms don’t exclude the use of non-natural ingredients that aren’t very good for you, so I’d be keeping a close eye on the ingredients to make sure they don’t change too much in order to keep costs down. I think a lot of firms use vegan as a marketing term at the moment and I find it annoying as some of the products aren’t really conforming to the vegan ethos.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

very good. All smell really nice and very enjoyable.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?

She loved it, particularly the chocolate and rose ones.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?
chocolate as it smells like real ones. Rose ones are very mild and appealing.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?
yes they do not leave skin feel dry and easy to cleanse.

It was fun doing masks and pampering together and it made my 8 yo daughter feel grown up. I liked the peel off one and it peeled really well for me and while she loved the neon colour, removing it was tricker for her and so she preferred the clay ones. Our skin was smooth after all 3 and felt cleansed.

We loved the packaging and the colours and smells and our favourite was probably the chocolate one as anything chocolate is a hit in our house!

My daughter is Barbie mad so she was really excited when the masks arrived and couldn't wait to start. She would definitely like them again.

We would recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children, if the price was right. We usually just go for the £1 face masks in Home Bargains that have animals or fruity flavours on so this would probably be more of a present thing.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?
we had a lovely relaxing afternoon, everyone else was out so we pampered ourselves, it was nice to spend some time doing something together and bonding - we had a fun time putting the masks on each other.
after our skin was left feeling nice a refreshed.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child? She absolutely enjoyed it and is something is she looking forward to doing again the Barbie masks definitely made it more appealing!

What was your favourite product in the range and why? The pink rose cleansing clay mask - it left my skin feeling clean and smooth plus the ease of removal compared to a peel off was better and quicker.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children? Absolutely would it was a great experience bonding time and the masks themselves were brilliant I was a little concerned that my daughter skin may react as it was her first time using something like this but it was fine!

I thought the 7th heaven masks were amazing my 8 year old daughter loved them she had a little pamper party with me and her big sister it was very fun and relaxing they all smelt beautiful they left our skin feeling very soft and glowing they were amazing I highly recommend these amazing face masks to anyone 😀

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

My daughter's skin was a bit itchy after the peel off mask, and didn't look like it did much for her skin either, though all kinds did feel relaxing and the chocolate one smelt amazing.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?

Yes.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?

Chocolate clay mask, smell and texture was great

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

There are better options but in general yes.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

I enjoyed using the face masks with my daughter. It was a nice treat and I am thankful I was chosen to product test the items. The end result was good as her skin seemed much more hydrated. As my daughter is 11 she is getting interested in a skin care routine and this provided a good introduction.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?

She did enjoy using them with me. The peel off mask was fun to use as it wasn't something we had used previously. I personally liked the pink colour. We would use them again with my younger daughter who turns 8 next week.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?

Our favourite product was the pink rose as it made her skin lovely and clear. It wasn't overpowering smell wise and I think it would be something she could use often without it irritating her skin.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

Yes I would recommend as it was a nice treat for us to do together. The results were good for each mask and no skin irritation.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?
I thought the experience of using them with my daughter and having that time together was great, Our sking both felt very soft afterwards but the peel off mask wasn't a pleasant experience.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
We both loved the smell of the chocolate one, weren't keen on the rose one (but we don't really like floral smells) but the application of both of these were fine and removing them was again fine.

The peel off one was a disaster for my daughter she felt it was a bit slimy to put on but got over it. She didn't like the tight feeling as it dried and she found the peeling off just painful and unpleasant.

What was your favourite product in the range and why?
The pink chocolate face mask, it smelt amazing and our sking was nice and soft/hydrated afterwards

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

Probably not to be honest. In the survey it said the price would be 4.99 which I feel is just too expensive when the equivalent face masks that aren't aimed at kids are half the price.
If the price wasn't an issue I would reccomend the 2 that arent the peel off ones as I just think it isn't appropriate for young skin.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? It was fun, relaxing and great for having mum and daughter time. My skin felt slightly tight afterwards, but it worked quite well for both of us.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Yes and we would definitely buy them to do them together again, or she and her friends would like to do them for a pamper.

What was your favourite product in the range and why? I liked the peel mask, my little girl wanted to peel it off for me.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children? Yes definitely. It was a positive overall experience.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?
My skin felt good, hard to tell what my daughter thought as she hasn't used one of these type of products before and wasn't sure what it was meant to do

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
My daughter enjoyed the mini pampering session we had at home and I would consider doing it again with her
What was your favourite product in the range and why? My daughter loved the chocolate one because of the smell
Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?
I wouldn't recommend these type of products as not every parent would be happy to use them on younger girls, it's up to each parent to make their own decision.

Q1. How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

Overall experience was really fun and exciting. It was very relaxing and enjoyable on our pamper night. Skin felt tight as the mask dried and made skin feel soft after.

Q2. Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
She enjoyed having the mask on her skin and feeling very grownup on our pamper night.
She disliked the peeling of the mask and found it scratchy and painful, as it crumbled everywhere and didn’t peel off as a mask should.
I would consider face masks such as these that are kind to children's skin and cruelty free, but only ones that are gentle in the peeling aspect.

Q3. What was your favourite product in the range and why?
We only received 2 products (not the chocolate one), and we found them both as good as each other. The smell was amazing, they were easy to apply and tightened the skin as they dried.

Q4. Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?
yes definitely, they smell gentle and are kind to skin, and make the children feel so pampered and grownup.

We enjoyed trying out the masks. The peel off one was a bit of a drama to remove but other than that yes they were good

it was nice to have a just the two of us activity

the chocolate mask was apparently good enough to eat - but we didn’t !!

would we use them again - maybe thought the barbe theme felt a bit too strong

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?
We really enjoyed the experience specially the vibrant pink color. Skin felt soft and cleansed.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
My child really enjoyed the masks and the entire experience of the spa

What was your favourite product in the range and why?
The chocolate mask

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?
Yes, definately. Specially recommend it to parents of boys since boys' skin needs care and love as much as girls'.

Our overall experience was very relaxing and enjoyable. I love spa time and my daughter is more amenable to it now than ever before. We love that feeling your skin gets when it has been thoroughly pampered and that relaxing feeling of timelessness and all the worries being lifted even if only for a short time. We loved using the masks. It was fun putting them on, especially the mud clay type masks. We used them in an evening to do a spa pamper while listening to music and then also incorporated them in to a spa day doing our nails etc as well. We would definitely use the face masks again and will be looking to buy them the next time we are in town. I loved the clay masks as my skin felt lovely and refreshed afterwards. My daughter preferred the peel off mask as she loves peeling it back and seeing if anything yucky comes with it. I would definitely recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children as it has been a nice way of relaxing together and looking after our skin. It is a good introduction to skin care and a nice way to make memories together. We both have lovely soft skin that looks refreshed and feels so nice.

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?
Yes, my daughter loved doing something grown up and we both applied a face pack at the same time so a great mother and daughter moment. Had lovely soft skin afterwards.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?
She loved them and yes we would use them again. It is a nice treat once in a while. Would make a great stocking filler!

What was your favourite product in the range and why?
The chocolate, my daughter said it smelt the best!

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?
Yes, although I'm not sure how long the barbie theme will last for older children. I think they will be embarrased. Would be great for a sleepover.

We had a ‘spa evening’ and used the face masks as part of that. It was lovely to share the experience, and me and my two girls shared out the masks so we each have a go os using all of them (so it was a bit messy!!) It would probably have been relaxing if we’d all used them individually, but it was a lot of fun doing it all together. My skin did feel soft after using them, but not sure if made any difference to the girls - it was more about the experience for them.

We’d definitely use the masks again, and would use them as part of another spa night as it was fun to have a bit of girly time together. The girls loved the peel off mask the best as it was the most fun to put on and use.

I would recommend the range to other parents. As the masks were designed to be used by children I was confident that there were no additives or chemicals that might harm their skin. Adult masks are designed to tackle adult skin issues, whereas these ones were very gentle on the skin.

I’m not sure that the Barbie branding made any difference however. We have had just as much fun it they’d been 7th Heaven alone and I’m not sure my 12 year old would admit to using one to her friends. She’s grown out of toys like Barbie, so a range aimed at the pre-teen and teen market would be great (or maybe there is one already?).

Overall, a fun evening was had by all and we’d do it again 😊

1 How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

My DD & I had a giggle applying the masks and getting messy. She's 14 so was amused that she was using "Barbie" themed masks but thought they were kitsch. We combined it with a movie night & relaxed once they were applied. Skin felt squeaky clean & soft afterwards.

2 Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?

Yes DD really enjoyed using the masks. There was plenty of product to use and a good thick consistency. She liked how girly the packaging was. Would definitely use again.

3 What was your favourite product in the range and why?

I loved the Pink Rose Cleansing Clay- the smell was divine and lingered on my skin afterwards. DD liked Pink Chocolate purifying mask as she likes chocolate face masks, particularly the smell. She said her spots seemed to dry up after using it.

4 Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

Yes would recommend. Lovely scents and feels like a quality product which is more expensive than it actually is. Barbie theme will appeal to pre-teens, but teenagers would also go for it I think as its a kitsch product for them. Certainly made skin feel soft and didn't have any bad reaction on my DD's skin which she sometimes has with products. She liked that it was cruelty free- won't use anything that isn't so that should appeal to many.

I tried these masks with my 10 year old daughter. The masks are getting tight at the end, but we washed them off when they started feeling uncomfortable, even if the recommended time was not up. The next time we applied the mask more thinly (and it was enough that way for the whole family, including dad and 5 yo son, who really enjoyed looking like a "zombie" with his white face.) I am not sure if the peel off mask peels off, as I never manage to peel it with any mask, so we just washed them, as with the other masks.
Our skin was nice and smooth and hydrated after using the masks (and they smell lovely) but my sensitive skin did go red for an hour or so. (No allergic reaction, just a bit red, but it is VERY sensitive, so I am not worried of this effect).
I would recommend the products, but with the advice of customizing (the thickness of the mask or the time used).

How did you find the overall experience of using 7th Heaven face masks? Was it relaxing and enjoyable? How did your skin feel after using the masks?

it was a lovely experience. We dressed in fluffy gowns snd had a pre- back to school pamper evening, it was lovely and relaxing and enjoyable. It let us have some quality time together and chat through holiday memories.

After using the masks our skin felt soft, smooth and cleansed.

Did your child enjoy using the 7th Heaven x Barbie range? Would you use the face masks again with your child?

My daughter loved using the masks, she loved the pink packaging design and squeezing the product out to apply to our faces. I would definitely use them again with my child!

What was your favourite product in the range and why?

the pink rose clay mask was my favourite as I loved the smell and how soft it made my skin. My daughter’s favourite was the peel off mask as she linked how it dried and she could peel it off.

Would you recommend the 7th Heaven x Barbie range to other parents and their children?

Yes absolutely! We had a lovely enjoyable pamper evening and our skin felt amazing afterwards.
