Not only is the packaging cute but it’s reusable.  We can keep my daughter’s princess dress up set in the bag. It has a button snap to keep it shut. Makes it easy for travel if she wants to take it to show off at the grandparent’s house too.

This bag was stuffed full of princess accessories.  My daughter was so excited to keep pulling stuff out of the bag.

She could not wait to try on all her new princess gear.  We were on the porch waiting for her brother’s bus to stop and I was helping her get all dressed up.  Then she wanted to go down the drive way to get brother off the bus because she wanted everyone to see her as a princess. The neighbor was sitting out on the porch and was smiling and commenting about her being dressed up.

Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup Set Review

holiday-guide-2016

Last year my daughter started wanting to play in my make up. She’d seem to always go after my good make up and paint herself all up or draw on things with it.  It was almost my Urban Decay or Lancome, seemed like it was never my drugstore makeup.  Well, my Father in law wanted an idea for something to get her last year so I told him a pretend make up set. Instead he got her a make up set meant for young girls with lip gloss and glitter etc.  Well that was everywhere and I ended up throwing out what was left.

Little Cosmetics makes the PERFECT pretend make up for toddlers . Looks a lot like mommy’s or big sisters without the mess.

The set I received has a make up pouch, make up brushes, a pretend pressed powder with puff, pretend blush, pretend eye shadow quad, pretend body glitter, and pretend perfume rollerball. This set looks so much like the make up I have.

So I know you might wonder if she really enjoyed playing with it.  The answer is yes. She was doing her make up, she was doing my make up, She wanted to take her make up pouch with her when we took her big brother to the orthodontist, she had to take it in Starbucks, and she took it to grandpa’s house.

She felt so “grown up” having make up that was all hers.  She loves it and mommy doesn’t have to worry about cleaning up lip gloss off the couch or sweeping up crushed eye shadow off the bathroom floor.

Visit LittleCosmetics.com and see all the set they have to offer including the one I reviewed here.

$50 Green Goo Gift Card Giveaway (2 winners) #HolidayGuide2016

 

Finding a truly organic skincare line that has natural ingredients that not only are good for your skin but for the environment was a daunting task, until Green Goo. Green Goo believes in bringing the purest most natural ingredients from the farm to the “pharmacy,” sourcing sustainable herbs and oils for their product line. Organic could not get any better because Green Goo is 100% made in the USA from a woman-owned, family operated business.

I received the Green Goo First Aid travel pack to review.  The Cool Mint lip balm was instantly soothing on my lips. It had a refreshing mint scent, not overwhelming. It had a slight tingle on my lips.  My loops look soft and felt moisturized.

The Green Goo for Dry Skin is just what i need this time of year.  I usually keep some kind of hand cream or ointment in my clipboard at work. We have to wash our hands so often. With the dry heat in the winter my hands get cracked and painful.  This little tin fit perfectly in my clipboard and I didn’t have to worry about it coming open and having lotion or something all over my papers. It’s in a pocket-size tin pot. It’s more of a “cake” form not liquid or gel.

The First Aid Green Goo I had my husband try. His uniform is not the most comfortable thing. He often gets chafing on his legs from his pants.  He said it did help relieve the raw feeling after he took his uniform off.

Green Goo understands the fortunate position of working with family, community, and following the passion to make a product they firmly stand behind. Good fortune is passed on through the form of extraordinary customer service where each customer feels like family. Good fortune is also passed on by partnering with charities, aid organizations, and other causes in the US and around the world. Networking Perks could not be more thrilled to feature another organization with such a philanthropic heart. Visit Green Goo to see how they are rethinking first aid and giving back.
