DD sharing lip gloss with friends

[surreysarah]

DD7 got some kids lip gloss for Christmas. She’s asking if her friends can try it on too. WWYD from a hygiene perspective - is it a no to share lip gloss or is it ok?

Young kids do things that are not hygienic but I'd say no it's not a good habit to get into. They shouldn't be sharing lipgloss or (when older) mascara. If one of them has a cold sore she'll get it.

Cheers all. I will tell her to dab on friends fingers when or if if they ask to try.

Not at all. Markle came across as unhinged. She was not a 7 year old schoolgirl but a grown woman engaged to a senior royal, asking the future queen to share a personal item. This was either provocative, a sign of poor social awareness and etiquette or some odd obsessive or puerile main character behaviour. A super odd request form Meg 💋

Eeew...definitely not. I still remember having impetigo all round my lips as a nipper. I had played with lipstick that half the neighbourhood kids had experimented with... It was horrendous to look at, very painful and took ages to go away. I wasn't allowed to use makeup for years after that! 60 years later and I'm still fastidious about not sharing makeup...
