What Reviewers Love in Dressing Up and Costume Best Sellers

This kit lets girls press reusable gems into their hair to create their own looks. Reviewers like that it adds instant sparkle without pulling, and that the reusable diamonds make it a go-to for daily restyling. The kit includes a stamper tool and 24 gems in assorted styles, according to the listing.

The main complaint is that some gems fall off easily, so buyers who want a secure hold should plan on touch-ups. Opinions on value are split, with some calling it worth the price and others finding it overpriced.

This large kit packs in eye shadows, blushes, lip glosses, brushes and nail polish, plus a tutorial booklet and a carrying case. Reviewers describe it as a great little set for children just starting out with makeup, and one noted it matches the pictures.

The two repeat complaints are size and fit. Several buyers found it smaller than expected, and the top and drawers are hard to open and close, which makes the case less convenient to use.

The toolbox includes a working toy drill, hammer, wrench, nails and screws, plus an electronic fix-it tray. Buyers say it keeps toddlers engaged for long stretches and helps build hand coordination and problem-solving skills. The light-up buttons and songs add to the appeal.

Functionality is the sticking point. Some reviewers say the drill is hard to operate, and others report it does not work properly at all. The toy takes 2 AA batteries, and the listing says new ones are recommended for regular use.

This 28-piece wooden set includes scoops, toppings, cones, a menu card and play money, all stored in a countertop that doubles as a box. Customers call it one of the best pretend play toys they have bought, and many mention it as a favorite holiday gift that holds toddlers' attention for hours.

Reviewers stand out for durability. Several say the counter is sturdy enough to last through years of play, which is rare at this price point. The sets are simple, open-ended and screen-free, so the fun comes from the child's own story.

The kit includes a plush puppy, a doctor coat and hat, a stethoscope, thermometer, otoscope and many other tools. Buyers say it is super cute and offers a big variety of supplies that keep children entertained. Reviewers feel it suits 4-year-olds especially well.

Build quality is where opinions split. Some describe it as well made and durable, while others call it cheap and say pieces break easily. Value is also divided, with some calling it good for the price and others finding it overpriced.

This set packs a wallet, sunglasses, car keys, play money and cards, a toy phone and a faux-leather handbag into one box. Reviewers say it is cute and well made, and that the many pieces keep kids entertained for hours. The realistic-looking money and cards are a common highlight.

The watch is the mixed piece. Some buyers say it lights up and tells time, while others report that it does not work at all. Buyers who care most about the watch should read recent feedback before ordering.

This musical jewelry box has a dancing unicorn that plays a tune when opened. Reviewers call it a great first jewelry box, with a size that suits small hands and a music knob a 3-year-old can wind. The box is made of pine fiberboard and the listing says it meets CPSIA, ASTM and EN71 guidelines.

Buyers appreciate the storage, with one noting it fits mini earrings and other children's jewelry. The listing also says it arrives in ready-to-gift packaging, which helps it work for birthdays and holidays.

This pink unicorn makeup kit comes with a matching bag and washable, paraben-free makeup. Reviewers say it is adorable, offers nice quality for the price and is easy to clean up. One buyer notes it is not over the top for toddlers to play with.

Size gets mixed feedback. Some find it perfect, while others say it is smaller than expected. Buyers with a bigger budget may want to compare it with larger sets.
