When you go shopping for makeup and beauty products, you expect the products you pay for to be clean, sterile, and unused. I mean, this stuff is going on our face/body/skin–I wouldn’t want to use something someone else has used before. Not saying anyone is dirty, but, you never know who has used the tester makeup in stores. For example, things are very spreadable (like pink eye) and I’m not about to have to deal with any of that–especially after having to spend X amount of dollars on makeup. While it seems like a no-brainer that stores would only package and sell unused products, a former Ulta employee revealed in a telling Twitter thread that some stores can’t be trusted. User @fatinamxo decided to open up about the situation because “she feels like makeup loves should know what’s going on behind closed doors.”
