BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Cosmetics Makeup Packaging?

At Sephora, the makeup is just sitting out in their packaging that anyone can open, look at or sniff. So you have to look at the ones you pick up to buy carefully - scrutinize them.

I actually prefer that to having to ask at a counter (ie - department stores) or grabbing a sealed package of who knows what at a drugstore. Sephora has revitalized how one purchases makeup: it's become an experience and not just 'shopping.'

I definitely agree that tester units should be out to play with - but I think they should be labeled as testers so people don't accidentally buy them

akk the testers at our spa are clearly marked that way for that exact reason Lisa

Good job Jase!! You work for a wise spa

I agree that you should buy sealed products and check expiration dates. I know on food items, it's pretty easy to get something either expired or so close to the expiration date you can't use it all before it goes bad.

I never have bought anything that is not sealed and if one day I see a seal has been broken I will go back to the store and get a replacement.

I never bought unsealed beauty products. Whenever I purchase makeup, I check seal properly.
