The Beauty Department is a wonderous place. You know how gleeful Carrie was when she was let into the Vogue closet? That's what the Beauty Department is like for us beauty lovers. All the pretties to play with, test out and if we love them, bring home with us. (For a price of course, we're not advocating the 5 finger discount!)
You know what it's like right? You either go in with a specific item in mind, or you just enjoy the browse action. And chances are when you leave, you'll have a few swatches on the back of your hand or your arm. It's to be expected. It's what the clearly marked testers are for.
But what about heading into the Beauty Department, with no intention to buy, only to test? And by test we mean use.
Maybe you've just finished work and have been invited for drinks. Or maybe you have a hot date and want to use all the fanciest products that you don't actually own. Whatever the reason, today's beauty confessional is asking if you've committed a sin on hallowed ground.
Have you used the beauty department, or worse, the counters and their staff, to do your whole face and get ready for something?

Gosh, I even feel guilty trying the testers, so I only do if I'm actually going to buy something. I have often wondered if anyone has gone whole hog and done their complete makeup at the beauty counters on their own without a consultant ;) When I was young, my friends used to run around the Downtown department store spritzing each other in perfume wars with the perfume testers.
