2 yo just ate a lipstick

Just found 2 yo daughter with just the plastic bit left of a lipstick - just one of those mini lipstick samples you get from Avon. I have no idea where she even found it but she's swallowed the whole lipstick part (luckily no plastic). Should I be doing anything about this?!?

She'll be fine. Think about the amount you ingest with it on your lips all day anyway. Watch out for pink poo tomorrow Grin

Its very likely its non toxic and its fine but when in doubt check it out.Ring the nhs direct number and ask for advice. 111

If it was a full sized lipstick I might be inclined to say she could get an upset tummy but I can picture those Avon sample ones you mean and they are so little, I can't see it causing her any issue whatsoever. But as pp said probably a funny coloured nappy tonight or tomorrow.

might get a bit, erm, fluid at the other end. paraffin is also used to treat constipation.
other than that he will be probably fine.
