In the post, the mum revealed that she uses special touch-up paint pens, which can be bought on the site for £8.95 for a pack of four – making them £2.24 each.
Emily demonstrated with one pen how she was able to syringe up her chosen paint from the paint pot and add a little brush.
She then touched up her off-white wall that appeared to have been marked with crayon.
In the voiceover, the mum said: “This is an amazing Amazon must-have for your home, especially if you have kids.
