Lip Gloss for Tween Girls

Tween girls - I would say that is approximately 8.5 through 12 years of age. My belief is that girls in this age bracket should, if at all possible, wear only light shades of lip gloss. That means no dark purples, dark reds or oranges.

There are several brands of lip gloss listed below that are priced under $5.00:

1. All Natural Lip Gloss for Girls, by Kissegirl on Etsy
Kissegirl is made especially for girls. It is a new series of body, bath and cosmetics. Also, it is better for young girls to use such products that are manufactured specifically for them than to use adult products.

Kissegirl Lip Gloss appears clear when applied, then it has a sparkle of glitter. It also tastes good in 14 delectable flavors, which are: Pineapple, cotton candy, Cherrylicious, Georgia Peach, Bubble Gum, Watermelon, Tango Mango, Sugar Rush, Grape, Strawberry, Tropical Smoothie, Banana, Buttercream and Cheesecake.

5. Kids Crafts - Recipe to make Lip Gloss for Girls
