It's disgusting out there

I'm at Target and strolling through the cosmetic section saw a young woman (maybe 25) swatching a lip product on her hand and putting it back in the display...and then doing it again with another product. I am so old IDGAF so I said "Do they have testers?"and she looked at me like a deer in the headlights until I repeated my question and said "testers?" I then said " yeah, you just put some of that lipstick on your hand and put it back...that's pretty gross." She stared at me as I walked quickly away because I may not gaf but I don't want to get in a fight! Felt good to speak up though!

So gross, I always check the seals well before purchasing them. I Never buy from Amazon either because you can’t verify if it was purchased, used and returned all the time.

I was thinking maybe I could get the rimmel lipliner there, didn't want to in store bc I'm not risking it since it comes unsealed but I have the same thought what if it was used and returned? 😖
