My daughter just got this makeup kit for her 6th birthday and she loves it! Looking through all the different parts and instruments I was blown away by how real everything is! Makeup is easily removed with a makeup remover pad, but brushes and sponges are perfectly legal! There is even an eyebrow and eyelash brush which I asked my daughter to borrow to do my eyebrows and eyelashes. This is a really good makeup kit and the price is very good for what is included. I am very impressed and will be buying another one as a gift for my daughter's friend!
