This document describes the Project Mc² Crayon Makeup Kit, SKU: 545163, a children's activity set designed for users aged 6 years and older, requiring adult supervision. The kit's primary function is to allow children to create their own custom-colored lipsticks and makeup compacts using crayons and coconut oil.

Function Description:

The Project Mc² Crayon Makeup Kit enables users to melt crayons with coconut oil and then mold the mixture into lipstick tubes or a makeup compact. This process involves mixing different crayon colors to create unique shades, melting the mixture, and then pouring it into the provided molds. The kit promotes creative experimentation with color and provides a hands-on experience in making cosmetic-like products. It is presented as an "experiment" kit, aligning with the Project Mc² brand's focus on S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) principles, even though the manual focuses more on the "Art" aspect of makeup creation.

Important Technical Specifications:

Age Recommendation: 6+ years.
Safety Warning: Contains small parts, posing a choking hazard for children under 3 years. Adult supervision is required, especially during the melting process, as melted wax crayons are HOT.
Required Household Items (Not Included): Coconut oil, spoon, oven-safe cup, oven mitts, baking tray, and an oven.
Oven Temperature: Preheat to 350°F (177°C).
Melting Time: Approximately 10 minutes in the oven (preheat), followed by 3 minutes inside the oven (after turning off).
Cooling Time (Lipstick Mold): 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Compatibility (Project Mc² Apps): iOS 6.1 or later, compatible with iPod Touch® 4, iPhone® 4, and iPad® 2 or later versions. (Note: While the manual mentions apps, they are not directly related to the physical kit's function but are part of the broader Project Mc² ecosystem).

Usage Features:

The kit provides components and instructions for two main activities: creating lipsticks and creating a makeup compact.

Creating Lipsticks:

Components: 1 Lipstick Mold, 2 Lipstick Tubes, 6 Crayons.
Process:
1. Preparation: Place one crayon wedge into a small oven-safe cup and add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. Place the cup on an oven-safe baking tray.
2. Melting: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) for 10 minutes. Turn the oven OFF. With oven mitts, an adult must place the baking tray and cup inside the oven on a baking rack for three minutes. An adult must stir the mixture until the crayon is fully liquefied.
3. Molding: Ensure the lipstick mold halves are locked together. Once the oil and crayons are mixed, quickly pour them into the lipstick mold.
4. Cooling: Place the mold in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
5. Extraction: Open the latches on the sides of the mold and separate the halves. Gently push the lipstick from the bottom to release it from the mold.
6. Assembly: Insert the lipstick into a lipstick tube and wipe off any excess around the base.
Customization: Users can mix different crayon colors to create unique lipstick shades.
Application: The created lipstick can be used on lips, cheeks, or eyes for "extra color."

Creating a Makeup Compact:

Components: 1 Lipstick compact, 6 Crayons (same as for lipstick).
Process:
1. Preparation & Melting: Follow the same melting process as for the lipstick, using crayon wedges and coconut oil in an oven-safe cup.
2. Molding: Once the wax is liquefied, quickly pour it into the compact.
3. Cooling: The manual does not specify a cooling time or method for the compact, implying it should cool at room temperature.

Safety Precautions (Emphasized throughout the manual):

Adult Supervision: Essential for all melting processes.
Hot Contents: Melted wax crayons are HOT. Always use protective mitts and keep away from skin until completely cooled.
Ventilation: Melt crayons in a well-ventilated area to prevent irritating fumes from overheating.
Microwave Use: Not recommended for melting crayons.
Skin Irritation: Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs from the lipstick.
Oil Ratio: Adding too much oil may prevent the lipstick from hardening. If this happens, add a small piece of crayon and melt again.
Storage: Keep crayons out of direct sunlight and store in a cool area to prevent unwanted melting.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: The compact, lipstick tubes, and lipstick mold must be washed before the first use and after each additional use. To fully remove all excess crayon wax, scrub thoroughly with warm water.
Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area before storing.
Hygiene: Wash hands before applying lip gloss from the compact.

Additional Information:

Illustrations: The manual states that illustrations are for reference only and styles may vary from actual contents.
Brand Ecosystem: The manual encourages downloading Project Mc² iOS apps, which are separate from the physical kit but part of the brand's broader content offerings.
