Little girl's make-up case guards PIN, enigmatically (5,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sugar and spice

'little girl's make-up' is the definition.
(as in 'sugar and spice and all things nice')

'case guards pin enigmatically' is the wordplay.
'enigmatically' is an anagram indicator (an enigmatic or puzzling form).
'case'+'guards'+'pin'='caseguardspin'
'caseguardspin' anagrammed gives 'SUGAR AND SPICE'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
