[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to know how many people posting here have actually taken a fifth or sixth grade kid to Sephora. There is so much disdain on here for a situation that is largely mythical. I took a group of them this weekend (boys and girls) and they don't buy Drunk Elephant, hyluronic acid, etc. because it's not in the cute packaging, made my Selena Gomez or Millie Bobbie Brown or they can't afford it.

They are buying Sol de Janiero (which is like that Bed Bath and Beyond body spray), Bubble (cleanser), Glossier lip balm (fruity flavors) and similar products. Did you never go to the drugstore and browse the Cover Girl section and buy yellow mascara in 1988? Or want whatever the trend was everyone was doing in middle school? This is the same thing.

As PP said, not the hill I'm going to die on.[/quote]

I have.  She got Sol de Janiero spray and body moisturizer and lip gloss she’s probably lost already.  I’ll continue to buy proven face products recommended by dermatologists that I’ve been buying for years.

Don’t forget your tiny group of kids do not represent an entire generation in that age group.

According to Sephora packaging is what attracts preteens not what’s inside.  Drunk Elephant and Glow Recipe are most popular. Sol de Janeiro, Summer Fridays, and Charlotte Tilbury are also popular according to Sephora.

I just don’t think anyone’s bothering to educate preteens on what’s in these products and what’s best for them.  There are good products and not so good products.

My issue is why do these preteens dress so badly?   They buy makeup and hair products but they have no sense of style or what’s flattering on them.  If you’re mature and sophisticated enough to buy makeup products then you’re mature enough how to dress appropriately.  [/quote]
