Makeup kit ideas for little girl who wants to start playing with real makeup?

My niece is 5 and since homegirl was 3 she was asking to do makeup together.

She knows I enjoy makeup even though I do the "No makeup makeup look"( sometimes I OD on blush right before seeing her so she even knows when I got blush on ) hahaha

But, she nags me alot and I want to make the girl happy. I adore her. Plus, her mom always reminds me how my niece wants us to do makeup together.

So, I want to build an easy and cheap kind of makeup kit for her. Because she has 2 little brothers who could break her things sadly lol I doubt her collection will last long especially with how she throws things around. Plus I dont want her makeup to make a mess.

So I was thinking

-Makeup Bag some kind- that is cute and girly.

-A true tinted SPF/ or a BB cream. Something she can rub into her face easily like a cream and not that pigmented. But also gental on her face?( Ideas?)

- Powder blush( something she can use a blush brush with to feel like she is doing something. Thinking a light pink color of ELF or Wet n Wild has)

- A simple small eyeshadow palette( trio-5 pan one)- maybe those ELF bite size in pink shades?

-a Lip Balm

-Brushes( blush, Eyeshadow)

She just wants to have fun doing the act of putting on real makeup. I buy her lip balms and she adores them! lol.

More ideas or suggestions?
