Fucking pissed off right now, DD(13) was on my computer which has my amazon account logged in, she decided that she could buy a a makeup item thats 50 quid. I didnt even realise until today, she had already opened it so i can`t even return it. FFS

I'd never give to her for Christmas. Take it off and that's it. She essentially stole it. If my DD did that she'd be paying it back and wouldn't get the make up back either.

Whatever she bought is probably fake. Amazon isn’t great for cosmetics. If it isn’t fake, she may have even paid a grossly expensive price for it. Eg a £18 Mac lipstick for £50

Oh lord. Just seen what she bought!

Firstly it’s not even sold/fulfilled by amazon! Buying from a 3rd party retailer on amazon is the same as buying from some random on eBay. You have the same concerns that the item is potentially fake or dodgy, especially when buying cosmetics as fakes are rife and difficult to tell apart if you aren’t familiar with the real thing. Just because you have bought it on Amazon, it doesn’t mean you get the same level of Amazon service as it’s a 3rd party seller. If it’s fake, the makeup may not necessarily be safe to use.

Secondly, if you’re going to spend £60 on makeup, choose something better than that?? No one wears Ted Baker makeup - it’s like something you’d get in boots as a bad gift. Definitely isn’t worth the money!

I would parade around the house with it all over my face just to piss her off 🤣, remove all make up from her and make her go without.

I would be seriously pissed of if either of my kids decided to go shopping with my card.

I would put her to work doing housework for the number of hours it would take you or your DH to earn £50 net. That might open her eyes.

Wow, I'd point out to her it's absolutely not a case of 'in my dreams' is it, since you presumably give her pocket money I'd just tell her that she does not make the rules, and that I don't need to dream, I will just extract the cost from her own pocket money (don't give it to her first), or deduct from her Xmas money if that exists.
She has broken the law. At the extreme end of the scale you could report the theft of your card to the police, get a crime number and seek to claim money bank from your bank. I would explain that to her but tbh i personally wouldn't do it if it was a one off.
You do need to redress the imbalance of power at home OP, she clearly doesn't respect you.
I would remove privileges,and reclaim the £50 from her and I wouldn't let her get away with not paying it, by removing her choice in the matter by deducting the value from her pocket money.I would also make clear that im concerned about why shes behaving this way and am here to talk if she wants to discuss why its happening, but you won't be stolen from in your own home, and she will be paying it back.
