CLOSED - CONTEST & REVIEW: Luna Organics

It’s a fact of life, that if you have a little girl, she will want to play dress-up. My daughter has over 15 dress-up costumes and a make-up table that she is frequently stares at herself in the light-up mirror as she applies her ‘fake’ make-up. Somwhere, in her imagination, it is real.
I find her making the same faces that I make when applying the plastic lipstick on. Then she immediately follows-up with those infamous ‘kissy-faces’. It never ceases to make me giggle and smile so bright on the inside. Because I remember when I used to do the same thing and the feeling that comes with it.
Beings she’s a mere four-years-old (we’re almost to 5!) I don’t like her having childrens make-up as I’m not familiar with what is in them; it’s a scary world out there. And there is nothing more precious to all of us parents than our babies.
So when I came across Luna Organics, on Etsy.com, I was thrilled to see that there were natural make-up products that Alexis could use to enhance her dress-up experiences.
Allison, the owner of Luna Organics, sent us the Fancy Fairy Kit to review. Yes… us. Mommy likes to play dress-up too. I just happen to come out looking a little funny once Alexis had applied it to my face, but I digress.
To give you a little information into what the Fancy Fairy Kit from Luna Organics is about I’m including some information directly from her shop profile:
Description
The Fancy Fairy kit is an all natural kids’ makeup kit made of organic, hypoallergenic materials. This makeup is easy to apply and most important, easy to remove! My daughters love to build fairy houses and dress up in their fancy fairy costumes.
The kit contains Fairy Dust, a stackable set of 5 sparkly eyeshadows, and glittery lip balm with cinnamon scent. The powders in this kit come off with a moist tissue and water, baby oil, or petroleum jelly.
The kit comes in a reusable purple or pink zipper case and contains:
- 20g Fairy Dust (sparkly silver and purple)
- 5g Pink eyeshadow
- 5g Gold eyeshadow
- 5g Green eyeshadow
- 5g Blue eyeshadow
- 5g Purple eyeshadow
- 5g Purple Glitter lip balm
- NEW - now with a dual-tipped eyeshadow/lip applicator and a puff blush applicator
The kit contains enough powder for multiple applications.
REVIEW:
My daughter was intrigued from the moment she opened the package. I decided it was best to explain to her what each thing was before she went off to take her place at the make-up table. I noticed how ‘dainty’ she was with it - almost as if she was afraid she would hurt it somehow and wanted to take extra care of it. Upon first application I heard her giggle so I inquired as to what she was giggling for. Her response was, “It’s real make-up. I have pretty colors on my face! Can you see it?” Of course I could and it was adorable.
I truly appreciate the fact that it’s not a dark make-up; no bright red’s or otherwise; the hue was perfect for a small child her age.
It was when we took the fairy dust out that she became mesmerized. This triggered her into going straight for her Tinkerbell costume to complete the look and it was something only dreams were made of. The evening commenced in Alexis taking flight across our apartment and I could see the beam in her eyes the entire time. To me, it was magical just watching her.
Upon bedtime I had to convince her that we had to take it off - this wasn’t easy and took a little coaxing on my side. After a few times of explaining to her that she could wear it again, soon, she finally allowed me to wipe it off… all it took was a slightly soapy washcloth. It came off with absolute ease.
Alexis has since worn it three more times and each time she become a bit more creative with the looks. I truly can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
Would you like to see your daughter enhance her dress-up time and increase her imagination potential? Here’s your chance!

The Rainbow Fairy All natural kid’s face paint would be a hit at our fairy birthday party!
How neat! Well, I must say that I can’t choose just one other product. I have two boys and one girl, so I think for my boys I would choose the rainbow kit…superheroes are a favorite with them and the fairy kit or ballerina for my daughter….and me on occasion, too!;)
I am a fan of Luna Organics on FB
Just blogged about this fabulous giveaway!

Another product I love is the all natural girls first makeup kit for tweens!
I think any girl would like the Ballerina Princess - All Natural Kids Makeup Kit.
Amazing! I love the idea of a beginner’s makeup kit for tweens that isn’t cheap (and probably harmful) for those special occassions.
I’m your friend too
I also subscribed to your newsletter! Yay!
the rainbow eyeshadow kit! I would use it myself!!
I like the rainbow fairy face paint set. Thanks for the chance.
