Powder blush; maybe. Foundation in a pump; maybe. Eyeshadow, no (eyes are too susceptible to germs). Eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss, lipstick; hells to the no. Anything I test near my face I sanitize, and use the applicators at the end of the aisle. If I don't like how the tester looks, though, I don't even do that. I use my arms/hands instead.<BR/><BR/>I usually test on the inside of my wrist for face products (it's the closest to my coloring, and I adjust from there). For lip products, the end of my index finger is the closest to my lip color.<BR/><BR/>I would much rather buy something and test is at home, and have to return it, than risk getting an infection.nemuinekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851294712502509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-861426228200142082009-03-30T16:04:00.000-04:002009-03-30T16:04:00.000-04:00hey greyeyegrrl!those aren't as bad as sephora...s...hey greyeyegrrl!<BR/><BR/>those aren't as bad as sephora...sephora is simply disgusting :P<BR/><BR/>ugh!the Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316544097349681503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189510981235008538.post-10454947017256712612009-03-30T13:55:00.000-04:002009-03-30T13:55:00.000-04:00I've done it at MAC on my lips, when they've pulle...I've done it at MAC on my lips, when they've pulled out a sample from the counter below, and given me a clean, santizied swab to use.
