Eco-Friendly Face Paints

luna-organics.jpgLooking to take dress up play to a fun, new, and eco-friendly level? Today, Kate shares a review of the organic, hypoallergenic kid's face paint and makeup kits from New Hampshire based Luna Organics. Read on for Kate's review, as well as to learn how to be one of two winners to receive Luna Organics kits:

From Kate:

My daughter has long been a fan of face painting, and will generally make a beeline for the face painting table at any fair or carnival (cat whiskers are her go-to look, but rainbows, suns, and large hearts also are favorites). Although hardly a skilled artist myself, I would like to be able to have fun with face painting at home (especially on days when weather or mood keep us inside), but I cringe when I look at the ingredients in most store-bought face painting kits, so we have yet to try it out on our own.

I subsequently was particularly happy to discover the play face paint and makeup sets made by Luna Organics, a small New Hampshire-based outfit producing small kits of powder, lip balm, and color for children. All of the ingredients are gentle for delicate young skin, and all are easy to remove and fun to play with. My daughter and I experimented with the All-Natural Fancy Fairy Kit; the colors are bright and kid-friendly, and the glitter gives it all an extra shine. Also cool, these kits come in an adorable zippered pouch and with little jars that all interconnect in an ingenious way.

For those cold and rainy days when you just can't get yourself to the playground or the museum, check out the offerings of Luna Organics to put some sparkle in your playtime.

    This is awesome, I was just complaining to my friends that all Izzy wants for Christmas is face paint and everything on the market is loaded with heavy metals. There is so much to choose from, but in honor of my little rock star, I think I'd have to get her the rock star Kit

    Cool product! I've read that you can also make your own face paint by combining 1 tsp of cornstarch and 1/2 tsp of water, mixing in 1/2 tsp cold cream, and then adding 1-2 drops of food coloring.

    hope to win for my daughter

    i like the Rainbow Medley - All Natural Kids Face Paint Makeup.

    The Rock Star Kit is PERFECT for my daughter!!! She would LOVE it. Thanks for the chance.

    Rhis would be cute for my younger sisters bday party coming up!

    The Fancy Fairy kit is awesome!! :)

    Thank you so much! These kits are amazing. They shipped quickly and arrived beautifully packaged. Best of all, my children LOVE them and I know they are safe! My son has always envied his sister's dress-up collection. He is having a ball with the rockstar kit. I have recommended Luna Organics to all my friends!

    I am so glad to have found this post. My daughter loves face painting and now I can feel great about getting her a kit that is not full of harmful chemicals.
