Beauty Party Ideas

Decorations for a Beauty Party
Decorate the Beauty party in pinks, reds and touches of purple or blue.  Red or pink table cloths with glitter or confetti spread on the table.  (Cover with a clear plastic table cloth).  Pink and red streamers and helium balloons.  

Activities
Hair Styles - Have a parent style the girls hair using curling irons, hot irons or curlers .  For more fun check to see if a local beauty parlor will send a hairdresser to the party to give the girls up do's for a set price.
Paint Nails and Toenails
Facemasks - see our homemade spa recipes for some great facemasks.
Make funky flipflops as a craft - directions for funky flip flops.

Beauty Party Games
Nail Polish Beauty Birthday Spin Game
Have the girls sit together on the floor and inside the circle set out several different colors of nail polish. Birthday girl goes first by setting a bottle of nail polish sideways on the ground and spin it.  If the girls are sitting on carpet you can place the bottle of nail polish on a magazine or other hard surface so it will spin.  When the nail polish bottle stops spinning the girl that the cap is pointing to must paint one of her fingernails that color.  After she paints her fingernail she then chooses a color of nail polish and spins it.   Keep going until everyone in the circle has all of their fingernails painted.  They can also continue the game and paint their toes.   This is best played with crazy colors of nail polish ... lime green, turquoise, bright blue, etc.  

Blind Beauty Make Over
Set out several items of makeup and a blindfold.  The girls will draw numbers to see which order they will play the game in.  To begin the girl who picked #1 puts on the blindfold and while blindfolded applies makeup to the girl who got the #2.  When they are done #2 puts on the blindfold and does the makeup of #3 ... keep going until all the girls have had their makeup done.  Really funny for everyone and all the girls love it.   Take pictures afterward of everyone in their blind beauty makeup.  

Beauty Guess and Win Game
Fill a see through jar with lots of small candies, nail polish, eye shadows, q-tips, hair ribbons, pony tail holders, jellybeans, skittles, marbles or rings. Count the items before you put them into the jar. As the girls arrive for the birthday party have them guess how many toys, makeup items or candies they think are in the jar. Write down each birthday party guest's guess. At the birthday party's end reveal who guessed closest to the right number. The winner takes home a small prize, or the whole jar with its contents!

Don't say it!
Give out bead necklaces (like Mardi Gras beads) to each person as they arrive. Tell the girls that they are not allowed to say the words "birthday", the birthday girls name and any other word that the girls use a lot such as "like" , etc.  If a girl is caught saying one of the off limit words then they must give their necklace to the person who caught them saying it.  Play this game throughout the whole party and at the end of the party the girl with the most bead necklaces wins a prize.
