Product Description
For thousands of years the art of henna tattoos has been one of the best kept secrets of the Eastern world--recently discovered by rock stars, super models like Naomi Campbell, and celebrities Demi Moore and Liv Tyler. Now, you can make your next entrance more eye-catching: try a band around your upper arm, or a fluttering pattern along your waist. This kit will commence your initiation into the mysteries of the ancient practice of henna adornment, a safe, non-permanent, beautiful art form. Each kit contains two packets of henna powder with application cones to allow you to create intricate designs, Mehlabiya oil capsules and six transfer sheets of ancient and contemporary patterns to guide you.

 PLEASE READ August 5, 2009
Christine A. Belsito (Cleveland, OH USA)
Henna set was okay, the products they give you for the price you pay is not worth it. The applicator was difficult and the directions are not very helpful. The henna powder they send is no good, I tried on five different people, four of them didnt show, and one is was a VERY faint orange. If you want to purchase any stuff go to[...] You get A Lot more for your money, and have easier instuctions, designs, etc. You get 5 times more for your money. Hope this helped.

I purchased this kit despite the reviews just knowing from experience that sometimes you get a bad package and it ends up giving the entire line a bad name. To test a few different kits I also purchase another to compare this one to, which by the way did work wonderfully. The book in this kit is very nice and helpful if you are a beginner and want to get the basics down with a bit of history as to what cultures use henna and designs specific to those cultures. Remember though this is a kit and the book isn't very long, but well done. The Henna however was a bust, at least the first application didn't take at all. Instructions were followed closely and I was very disappointed that the stain didn't happen. Purchase at your own risk as it appears that there are "many" bad packages of henna in this kit. If nothing else you would have paste to practice with.
Review for book only, not kit September 13, 2008
Shara of Desert Dance (KS)
This book apparently came with a kit. I bought it as a used book. There simply is not much information in the book, and the book tells you to use stencils. I found that I'd rather mix my own henna and make designs mostly freehand. I haven't tried the cone method in the book, although there are some tips for using them. I have just used bottles with tips. There are a couple of designs in this book that I may try, so it is worth what I paid for it as a used book. As far as the kit, I cannot comment on that.
 Directions weren't correct January 12, 2008
CSCherries (Michigan)
This product was AWFUL! I followed the directions, but:
-the solution was too thick and would not stay on my skin
-after working with it for over 2 hours, it began the stick
-the directions say: to keep the paste on the skin for 30-60 min,
until it starts to "crack". After reading some websites, they
advise you to keep it on for 3-5 hours, at least!
-The solution never darkened and stayed an orange-ish color.
-Washed off in less than a week
I've never been SO disappointed in a product before. Because of this, I had it returned.
 Very well put together February 17, 2006

I have played with Henna before, and was looking for a good kit with a better explanation, history, and some insight as to how to shop for Henna products.
The kit comes with 2 cones of powder, 2 liquid mixtures and 1 bottle of oil(and some other stuff, including some cool designs that are discussed in detail in the book). After mixing the first batch, I realized it was too thick. No problem, just add fresh lemon juice until you have a smooth mixture that flows easily through the cone. The quality is great for beginners to play with and I found the cone to be well designed and easy to use.
The real plus for this product is the book that comes with it. Aileen is obviously very talented and someone for anyone who enjoys this art to aspire to. Her book is exquisite in all aspects, from the art history to the application explanations, from her designs to the photography, and from the quality of printing to her expert selection of models(their skin was flawless). I found exactly the info I was looking for.
Well worth the money I paid and an excellent addition to my growing library of Henna/Mehndi/Indigo Art. Thank you.
