My daughter watched me open the box and her eyes lit up instantly and she couldn't wait to get her hands on it. The set is for ages 6+ and my daughter is 4 so I know I have to keep an eye on her when I'm playing with this because it's REAL MAKEUP. I don't give her nail polish but I let her try the lipstick and I love that while it looks more like a hot pink in the tube, it's quite see-through. Glitter is what you would expect, slightly tacky but not super messy once you use it a little. We didn't open the blue one, just the pink one. The brushes are actually of a better quality than I expected and I was almost tempted to pick them up and use them for makeup! The handles are strong and high quality, the bristles are also very good! The nail file, dividers, powder and blush are solid too - very durable and decent quality for a kids makeup kit, and the colors aren't very pigmented so I'm not overly concerned about that it makes a big mess on my face or my sex. My favorite part of this set is the bag. The company that made this really kept the design in mind as the wallet opens completely and the zip runs the length of the top of the bag making it easy to open and close and makes it easy to take things out and put them back in. The top of the wallet's "lid" has an internal zippered mesh pocket that's great for storing thin items or items from another set. Overall this set is much better quality than I expected, I would actually buy it again and gift it! I would highly recommend this set for the recommended age but I think it would work for a 4 year old too if supervised.
