Wal-Mart is going after the tween (ages 8-12) market (and their parents' wallets) with the new GeoGirl beauty line. That 8-year-olds need lipstick is another debate, but this line will offer colorful cosmetics and "mother approved" makeup products. According to a recent article in Women's Wear Daily, the formulas are designed for young skin and have natural ingredients like white willow bark to exfoliate, chamomile, lavender and calendula to calm and antioxiodiates to prevent aging. (Sounds a little much for a tweener, but I not a parent to one.)

There's a cleanser, mineral blush, liquid2power shadow, feather-lash mascara, face shimmer and body mist, among the offerings. The line, which will replace the space vacated by Mary-Kate and Ashley cosmetics in Wal-Mart, is set to debut next month in stores and at geogirl.com.

Hubby asks "Are they trying to push them back into the womb?!"



I don't get it, when I was 42y/o, people thought I was 18y/o...and I never used any of the make-up stuffs; that's why they start to look aged in the first place, because they're not letting the skin breathe.




Exfoliation for skin at that age, geez...Why on earth would any parent fall for this tripe?

My daughters like the fake lip chap that smells like candy. It has no color, so we let them use it. And we let them play dress up and makeup from time to time.

But this is an entirely whole new, and bizarre level.
