The center compartment contains six shades of cream blush, four shades of lipgloss and two cosmetic foam applicators. The swing out compartments each contains four shades of eyeshadow. A plastic mirror is conveniently located under the lid. The cosmetics are made and packaged for retail sale as a set in China. The make-up set is marketed for use by children five years and older. The sample will be retained by this office.
