This toddle made her aunt Internet Famous after she tried to eat a Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette.
Who could blame her? The palette looks like an actual candy bar on the outside, smells like chocolate, and is made with sweet ingredients including cherry cordial, crème brulee, hazelnut, milk chocolate and triple fudge, according to the product page.
Upon finding this cosmetic carnage, Lauren did the responsible thing: Kept calm, made sure the kid wasn’t going to die from digging into the eyeshadow, and then posted the results to Twitter. A photo of the very grumpy (but probably delicious smelling) girl got tens of thousands of retweets and likes.

I’d probably be crying if a child ate $50 worth of makeup, but maybe that’s just me.
As the tweet went viral, her mentions blew up with people either decrying her as a terrible aunt or sharing their own “this kid ate my makeup” stories. Some urged her to call 911 or get the girl’s stomach pumped — a patently awful idea for this situation — but Auntie Lauren had it handled. She called both Poison Control and Too Faced to make sure the eyeshadow wouldn’t hurt her niece. The most illness she would likely have is diarrhea, they told her.
The whole saga had a happy ending:
