She's interested in make-up already!

I can't speak from experience as my daughter is such a tomboy, but I think that the lip gloss would be ok. It's a compromise. Not really make up, but makeup enough to keep her happy. To me lip loss and lip balm are fine for little girls. I just don't like seeing little girls with mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow ect.

My daughter was 4 or 5 when I got her "Ariel the Little Mermaid" make up. It was mostly lip glosses and some glitter make up. She only made a mess of it! When I was that age I had lip glosses and stuff like that, very sheer colored eye shadows. Nothing major, mostly play make up. I think it's natural for a kid to want to have some play make up, and I think it's great to give her some lip gloss. If you don't already, you should paint her nails a sheer pink!

I think they are just the cutest at this age. They just want to be like MOMMY. I use to have time with my daughters at this age and we would make eachother up and play tea party. It was explained that it is okay for playtime but not out in public. The clear lip gloss was a wonderful idea and gave your daughter such joy! My daughters even made Daddy up when he fell asleep on the couch lol

Wearing makeup around the house when playing dress up is one thing, but not out of the house. I think I would have gotten her the lip gloss as well. My daughter loves nail polish. She will occasionally try to get into grandma's lipstick, but that is about it.

I think the lip gloss is fine for her age. My daughter wanted to wear makeup at that age also. They try to grow up too quick these days LOL. I am glad she accepts the age of 13 though and settled for the lip gloss.

Sure, most little girls love the idea of make-up. Most are happy enough to have their own lip gloss (maybe flavored and in a pretty tube), maybe the occasional little girl's nail polish, and maybe the occasional spritz of a light scent. I don't think any little girl is too young for lip gloss or little nail tint once in a while.

I admit that what you did is a great ideal.
I assume, that makeup, for little girls, is a sign of being a "grown up."
I think that I would have went with flavored chapstick, as an alternative....

Well, yes I would have (though I am not a parent...) but I would have gotten her Neauties. It's clear and it's all natural, so it's good for her to lick and eat (plus it tastes really good too!!). They use flavoring that you actually put in your food!! They have Cherry, Peppermint, Original, and Strawberry. I like the Cherry and Peppermint the best (I have them all!), but for her I would say Strawberry or Cherry because she is little!!:) My little sister uses it and she likes them all, but she's going to 5th grade! I would feel grown up if I were her too!! I didn't get to wear lip gloss till 4th grade, but I don't see a problem with letting her wear clear lip gloss now!!:)

Yes, the lip gloss is fine. You may also want to consider introducing her to things like sunscreen and lotion after she bathes, protect her skin from the sun and establish good habits to keep her skin looking nice as she gets older.

I think lip gloss is FINE!!! I would have loved to be 6 and be able to wear lip gloss!! The only thing is next time when she needs more you may want to consider getting her Neauties. It's all natural, so it's safe for her to eat and whatever else she may do! It'll taste good if she does eat some. My baby cousin ate almost a whole container of the cherry and they had to really take it away from him!! They have Cherry, Peppermint, Original, and Strawberry. I have them all and they are all GREAT! The Original even tastes good because it's made with a little bit of honey! If it were my daughter I wouldn't want her to use the bold colored stuff! This is just clear... but I think a light pink or any light color would be fine too. Plus, with this stuff the more she puts on the shinyer it gets, and it acts as a ChapStick or Carmex. It heals and protects your lips. I really like it and I'm 15, so I'm sure she will!!:)
