children's pretend makeup

mumps

We used to have chocolate mice as well, I don't eat real mice as an adult.

I don't smoke either but I did love the smokers set at Christmas and the Cinderella shoes, they had high heels and were held on by two strips of eleastic, absolutely deadly I am sure many a little girl ended up with broken ankles.

I forgot to say - I haven't seen those 'pretend' sets in years! most kids use 'real' make up - my grandkids do! but then, I have extremely sensitive skin and cant use certain 'makes'. (mostly the expensive ones) established 'cheap' makes by Rimmel and Boots are fine. I cant use any of Aldi's make up or skin therapies either - even though they seem to get top marks in beauty trials.

oooh yes - I loved those! they looked like pipe baccy (as my granddad smoked) and I can remember they were lovely and chewy! (granddads baccy didn't taste as nice - as I found out when I tried to eat it!).

It is a fair bit of money, and not plastic, but what about this one?

Not a lot of help to op but DD won one at the fair. She chose carefully, thinking it was makeup and was so cross when she found out it wasn't.

Oh I think that's lovely.

Not seen the plastic lipsticks for a while, sorry.

That wooden set looks nice .

Someone bought our little girls a kiddies make up set from Asda and it made their lips swollen and bright red almost instantly :eek:. Horrible stuff! They were easily fobbed off with just make-up bags filled with lots of hair bobbles, rings, bracelets and ribbons, plus a little mirror and brush. Small empty bottles and jars are nice too.

It is a shame when sensitive skin stops children having play make-up or getting their faces painted at parties etc, but inflamed skin is no joke, and they do get used to it. E45 do a nice bubble bath which means they can still have a bit of bathtime fun, though.

My daughter was bought a disney princess beauty set that had one of the said plastic lipsticks in it along with a hairdryer and other hair stuff, may be worth looking out for x
