My advice would be to look for stuff that says it's suitable for contact lens 
wearers; that should be tear-proof.

May I suggest the museum of Children in Bethel Green?  I went there to
see the dolls but they do have a bit of collection of children's
clothing.  I went several years ago, but the curator in charge of the
dolls had some wonderful stories about the clothing as well, since
they can document exactly what children wore these clothing (mostly
Victorian era) and a bot about their life.

Of course, they have some wonderful dolls, doll houses and other toys, too

Thank you for all your advice re mascara. I must admit to going into sticker

look for waterproof and suitable for contact lenses mascara.

I like the Tarte 4-day stay mascara.  It's pricey, but it stands up to my
allergy eyes, and I've even gone swimming with no smears.  Considering that
one tube has lasted me almost a year, it's worth the price.

For safety sake, you shouldn't keep a mascara for more than 6 months; many
opthomologists suggest that 3 months is safer. Bacteria can build up in the
package and give you a nasty eye infection.

It is the brush getting pumped in and out after touching your eyes that
introduces bacteria..if you use it once a year only; definitely go for the
cheap stuff, then you won't feel bad about tossing the old one.
