My almost 12 year-old LOVES makeup. Every single time I'm in my bathroom and she comes in she starts rooting in my drawer. She already has a ridiculous amount of MAC because it's her fourth year on a synchronized skating team so she gets the blush, lippie and 2-3 e/s to match the team each year. Plus she's gotten a few items I've purchased that aren't quite right on me (Cream Soda blush, Star Wonder MSF). Yesterday I gave her my NARS Danmari palette because I almost never reach for it. Her eyes just about rolled back in her head. I told her that she now has more blush than I did until I was almost 30 and that if she takes care of her powder products they'll be fine through her teens. She's meticulous, so I don't doubt that she'll keep them pristine.My gremlin sounds like yours!!! She is only 12 though but thank goodness we wear different shoe sizes. I am a 5.5 and she is 9. She does steal my socks ALL the time and grabbed my Pure Zen from Marilyn and some glosses. I was happy that she did not like the RiRi items!!
I have the Archie's brush set for her (more than fine for a kid) and the Antonio Lopez nude lip palette set aside for Christmas. I've told her that she'd not allowed to wear makeup (other than gloss and very pale lippies) until she's 13 unless it's to perform, but I keep finding her floating around the house with faint blush and e/s. She always tells me that she's 'just practising' and 'only wearing it around the house'.
I'd likely be more annoyed if I hadn't been EXACTLY the same at her age.
