Num Noms Mystery Makeup Surprise - Review

Lily and I have actually been fans of Num Noms for a few years now. We are always really eager and excited to see what new products come out by them. It is a brand new year and so a brand new product has come out and wow we are impressed.

We were sent a nice surprise hamper from Num Noms.

Inside it had a Num Noms Magazine (which I didn't know existed but do now and think its brilliant), some sweeties and 3 of the brand new Mystery Makeup Surprise bottles.

Lily and I really didn't know what to expect from these, but we were definetly excited. Who doesn't love a surprise. Lily has also loved pretending to put on mummy's makeup lately, and although I don't encourage it much, I don't mind her having the odd bit of child's makeup.

I just loved the bottles, they reminded me of milkshakes and you can't get more fun than milkshake drinks. I love the little detail of the straw coming out the top and it really is a brand new surprise design that has not been seen before.

Opening them is such an exciting part of the surprise, I had to start the rip of the plastic for Lily but after I had done that she could remove the rest herself. 

As soon as you have taken the plastic off, the bottle is then clear and you can see what you have got inside. These looked totally different to the usual Num Noms we are used to seeing and so was very intrigued to get them open and have a look. 

To open the bottles you need to first remove the lid and then it opens up by pulling at the bottle until it opens in half. This bottle can then be used as a little play house which later on Lily did.

The items you get inside are one Num Nom character and a lipgloss, also some instructions and a collectors guide. 

I think the new little characters are so sweet. They are still food themed but are made with a thicker plastic, have bodies and cute little outfits. But there is also another element to them. One of the ones we got in our bottle, had a opening on its face and inside was scented shimmer. Lily was super impressed at this and loved that it had a makeup surprise inside.

The surprise doesn't just stop there, you also get inside either a lipgloss, nail varnish, shimmer or body spray. We also got 2 characters that turned into nail varnish and the nail varnish is stored in their body.
As well as that we got lots of different scented lip glosses along with them which Lily loves. As always the lip glosses are really fruity and fragrant. 

Lily was really happy with these and she actually played with the characters for ages using the bottles as little houses and making up her own imaginative play with them.

Each bottle is RRP £9.99 and for the fact your getting a surprise, piece of makeup and a play figure I would say it is money well spent. Especially when you start to create a little collection of them to play with and your child can really get imaginative with them.

They are recommended for ages 5-8 but Lily is 4 and she really loved them.

You can see more about the Mystery Makeup series on the Num Noms Website. 

Is this something your child would enjoy?
