Re: Unsanitary makeup shopping

Testing the color on your hand is useless anyway.  The skin on your hand and the skin on your lips are different and the lips are of course a darker pinkish color.  The lipstick color will be a different color than on your lips anyway.

 

However that dont stop people from doing it.  Until they seal the tubes and have sample colors there it will continue to be done.  The store and companies loss is probably huge or maybe not since they dont seem concerned enough to fix it.

Yes, I see this too and not just lip products.

If vendors would put out samples that may not happen, but with all companies 

they're not wasting money.

Sephora is the example of samples. Love the store but what I like is very limited.

Re: Unsanitary makeup shopping

I see women and teens doing that all the time in Ulta and Sephora, but they were using samples....

 

When I purchase I make sure my lipstick is sealed..

Re: Unsanitary makeup shopping

Companies and stores would save a lot of money by using sealed, Clear tube tops.

 

(As someone else mentioned.)

 

Actually, it would be / should be a 'law' or, at the very least, a popular trend.

 

 

 

 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
