All children love to play with "real" things. Well, this little makeup bag is perfect. So believable. My niece was happy to get the real deal. No, this isn't real cosmetic, but it looks exactly like it in containers. It doesn't erase the kids, but it does make them feel like it's "just like mommy". Plastic and pouch are thin. I also bought another one with a better known name and there were very few differences between them. I would buy these again!
