Well, yuck. But frankly, they missed a chance. They could’ve marketed this for kids who wanted to be just like Mommy.

I'm pretty sure that's what they're trying to do!

Oh my! That's shameful. I didn't wear makeup when I was a teen or even later than that because, at the time, most of it was tested on animals. Today, in my late 60s, I rarely wear it. I guess it's a habit of not wearing it to begin with.

It really is. And I don't brand shame in general, but this is something I feel needs to be addressed. And it is interesting how life and circumstances and beliefs can have you start and then continue on a certain path. I've always looooved makeup and beauty, but my styles have varied drastically over the years!
