The Clune girls smuggled makeup to the settlement with them! But they ended up burying it so they wouldn't be tempted to use it any more. It doesn't surprise me that the girls were upset about no makeup (though I agree that the younger one seems too young to be worrying about anything but lipstick at the most). But you'd think the mother would have been more realistic.
However, it is the Clune family that seems to have gone into the adventure the most starry-eyed and clueless. But the father did have a point when he groused about how they couldn't hunt (because today it is against the law to hunt out of season). Back then they would have hunted to put meat on the table, regardless of the time of year, I'm sure.
We're not seeing all that happened, but I don't understand why Karen Glenn is so viciously upset by the Clune's behavior. Yes, the Clunes are whiny and clueless. But they live a half mile away, so why it bothers Karen so much, I don't get, except that "complaining" about the Clunes is her way of saying how superior *she* is. As I said, the Glenns got the ready-made cabin and corral, which was a *huge* advantage, so her air of superiority is kind of obnoxious.
