Like most little girls, Peanut & Pofaroo love to play dress up including fancy dresses, having their nails painted, hair just perfect and of course – makeup! Most play makeup for children available on the market contain many ingredients that I definitely don’t want my girls to use on their delicate skin. Things like talc which is a potential irritant, paraffin and petrochemical products that clog pores, cause irritation and breakouts, polypropylene glycol which is a known toxin and FD&C dyes which are known carcinogens and commonly used as pigments. Ingredients that I as a mom wouldn’t put on my skin…so why would I put it on my girls??
Enter Luna Star Naturals! Luna Star Naturals ONLY use natural ingredients and mineral based colours AND they manufacture their products in the USA allowing even more stringent controls than if they were manufactured elsewhere. Luna Star Naturals award winning collection of natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic mineral makeup was named a Gold Award winner in the Green Category by the National Association of Parenting Publication and won the Creative Child Preferred Choice Award, both in 2013.
Pretty impressive!
We received the Luna Star Naturals Ballet Star All-Natural Mineral Makeup Play kit to review. There are additional kits like Soccer Star and Pop Star from the Star Collection kits or Princess Fairy, Sparkle Fairy or Fancy Fairy from the Fairy Collection kits. So many colour combinations that will appeal to any little girl!
Each kit contains two loose-powder eye shadows, one blush and one organic lip shimmer balm. Enough makeup to keep any little girl happy and in my case two! In our kit we had Tutu Blue and Pirouette Purple eye shadows, Cheeky blush, Raspberry shimmer lip balm and two applicators. The Tutu Blue would be perfect for Pofaroo as Elsa and the Pirouette Purple for Peanut as Ariel!
As a mom, I love loose powder mineral eye shadow myself! The density and coverage that can be achieved gives a bold, vibrant colour that stays for hours with no need to reapply. For my girls, this means long lasting eye shadow that will last as long as they want to play dress up which could be hours. The ease of application gave quick coverage in achieving the best ‘Elsa’ and ‘Ariel’ look. With beautiful colour and just enough shimmer for Peanut & Pofaroo to declare ‘this is the best eye shadow ever’!
The Cheeky blush just light enough to add a light pink colour and shimmer too! Pofaroo got a bit carried away and managed to have an all over pink hue to her face when she applied the makeup on her own. As a mom though, I wasn’t worried about it getting in her eyes or her mouth with the confidence I have in Luna Star Naturals makeup providing an all natural product.
The Raspberry shimmer lip balm added just enough pigment to my daughter’s lips without leaving a residue that would transfer to other items like lipstick tends to do. The shimmer of the lip balm added the perfect touch bringing a big smile to Peanut & Pofaroo’s lips!
Big girl makeup without having to worry about the toxicity in the products makes this momma smile too! Peanut and Pofaroo will be wearing Luna Star Naturals Mineral Play Makeup when we head to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World and I have to admit, this momma might be too!
Luna Star Naturals also offers All Natural Deluxe kits that include water based nail polish that peels off and doesn’t require polish remover! So from the tips of their toes to the top of their head, Luna Star Naturals is giving our girls good, clean and natural fun!

My daughters would be so impressed with this, especially the raspberry lip balm.
