Fake Makeup

Thank you Camille!
Buy cheap makeup and cheap nail polish

Chip out cheap makeup and throw away

Clean slate

Pour in nail polish and if it's iridescent, swirl with brush stick

Let dry overnight.

Now Lily can pretend to put on makeup while I'm putting on mine and she will keep out of mommy's real (expensive) makeup. The best part is she gets to use the little brushes and unlike the kind you buy in the little girl makeup kits...this is not makeup. No mess, no clean up, no purple eyeshadow smeared all over my walls.

Very creative! Good job, Val.

BRILLIANT! Love the (expensive) Cutco knife you chose to chip out makeup!!

Ha Leah, you pay great attention to detail. Speaking of my knives, they need desperate sharpening, I should send them in next week.

Maybe a nice cheery chapstick for lipstick?

Of course I meant cherry ...
