My only problem would have been the make-up, since my child could have been allergic, especially if she slept in it. Make-up, polish and dye may contain toxic chemicals to vaying degrees, especially in this country where the FDA has little oversight for that category of products, contrary to the EU, which regulates all this carefully.

I don’t care about the fake drinking - my kids know they won’t be able to indulge in the real thing. We’re missing an enzyme to process alcohol in the family, like many Asians.

Basically, not my idea of a fun time, but not the end of the world.

These kids were 13, not 5. Certainly a 13 year old knows whether or not she has sensitive skin or not. She's probably had her face painted at festivals and fairs over the years. And she quite likely has even worn makeup on special occasions.

I'll bet it was a real treat to have a professional makeup artist do her makeup. I would have absolutely loved everything about that party at that age.

You probably don't have skin sensitivities, then, because that's not how it works. You don't know in advance, unless you have used that exact same product before.
I have experienced really bad rashes as an adult with cosmetics I had not previously used.

On an unrelated note, I would have hated such a party.

I’ve see pina colada slurpees, yogurt, etc. I think it’s generally thought of as a certain flavor and not necessarily alcoholic. (After all, there isn’t a merlot yogurt).
