Vendees Surprise DIY Beauty Kits for Kids

by Katie Wallace | Updated: July 1, 2020

Have you seen these fun Vendees Surprise DIY kits? Like many other kids, my girls love beauty products, color, glitter, and surprises. We often make our own spa products including bath bombs and lip balm. These surprise DIY dispensers from Vendees are an easy way for girls to make their own bath and beauty products on their own! Kiera and Sylvie really enjoyed unboxing and demonstrating how these surprise DIY kits work!

We received complimentary product from Vendees for review. All opinions are our own.

My girls were delighted to receive for review these Vendees Surprise DIY Dispensers. The sets we tested out include the Atomic Rainbow layered lip balm kit and Sweet Treat surprise bath bombs kit. Each of these do-it-yourself sets includes materials for making homemade beauty products, as well as some surprises!

Vendees Surprise DIY Dispensers

First, the anticipation of unboxing is always the best part. I made sure Kiera and Sylvie thoroughly read the packaging and all the details of these surprise kits. We also did an unboxing video, so my girls had to know their talking points!

My girls were very excited to open up these Vendees Surprise DIY Dispensers. Each set is themed and has a collection of materials to make beauty products and surprises kids can unpackage and reveal.

Vendees Surprise DIY Bath Bombs

The Sweet Treat surprise bath bombs set comes with bath bombs, whipped soaps, sprinkle shakers, and glitter. In one section of the box, kids can pull on a tab to dispense a sheet of surprise stickers. Several bubble jars inside the set contain mystery accessories such as a cupcake ring, treat erasers, and a doughnut key chain. To reveal each surprise, Kiera and Sylvie took turns to pull the tabs and open the perforated doors inside each box.

Once opened, my girls wasted no time to create their first custom bath bomb. Kiera carefully opened up a bath bomb and Sylvie squeezed some of the whipped soap on top. Kiera topped the bath bomb with a dash of heart sprinkles and glitter.

Next, we opened the Atomic Rainbow layered lip balm set. Sylvie opened the DIY lip balm supplies including the gel base, wax drops, coloring, lip balm tubes, and measuring tools. Next, the mystery reveal section held 3 more bubble jars with surprise accessories and rainbow accents. These Vendees Surprise DIY Dispensers are especially fun because once girls reveal all the surprises, they can set to work making their own beauty products!

These fun vending machine-inspired kits are a sweet way to spend an afternoon making creative spa products for kids. Vendees surprise DIY dispensers are also a great gift idea for any special occasion!
You can shop for Vendees sets at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Hobby Lobby, Indigo, Learning Express, Michael’s, and Walmart.

Easy DIY Sparkle Lip Gloss

Just like with these kits, you can easily make your own lip gloss using simple materials such as beeswax pellets, shea butter (gel base) and coconut oil. I especially love experimenting with colors and fragrances when making homemade lip balm.

DIY Scented Sugar Scrubs

Once you’ve made your own lip balm or bath bombs, you can easily make homemade sugar scrub. All you need is sugar, olive oil and a natural fragrance. Mix in lavender essential oil or peppermint extract to create a relaxing, luxurious scrub. Homemade sugar scrub is best made in small batches and used within a few days.

Making your own bath and beauty products is a fun way to enjoy practical art. Spa products are consumable, so not only will kids enjoy making lip balm and bath bombs, they’ll also enjoy using them. Last but not least, hands-on creative activities are a great way to teach kids how to follow directions and make cool things on their own!

๐Ÿ’ก Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! ๐Ÿ’ก Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

๐Ÿงณ Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

๐Ÿฅช Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafรฉs become our favorite spots. 

๐Ÿž๏ธ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

๐Ÿ”ฆ Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations.

Making YouTube videos of our family adventures has been such a great way to share and save our family memories. We watch our vids all the time, which take us right back to the special moments. Our audience is growing slowly, but itโ€™s really not about that at all!

Because we travel with our kids, our children are brave and adventurous โ€” willing to try new things and eager to problem solve. Adventurous kids are resourceful kids!

We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easte We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easter weekend. โ›ฒ๏ธโœจ Even though the streets of Rome were packed, this site had crowd control security, who only let a few people down in front of the fountain at a time.

We stood in line for 10 minutes, and were given unrushed time to take photos and video clips in front of this iconic landmark. ๐Ÿ“ธ We have no idea whether this is normal, but it was such a special highlight in Rome! 

Have you been to the Trevi Fountain? What was your experience with the crowds?

๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

โœจ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

Itโ€™s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for Londonโ€™s engineering and history. ๐Ÿ’™

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? ๐Ÿ˜„
