  6. makes complete sense considering sooo many people do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom!

  7. Thats why I never put testers on my face, and I always wipe my finger/hand with alcohol handgel or a disinfectant wipe afterwards. It's disgusting the amount of people that touch them.

  10. Can that stuff go airborne??? Good thing I give the makeup counter a wide berth when I walk through department stores--there are too many competing perfumes in the air, I don't like it!!!

  13. Ouch, I heard about this recently... testers are so scary. I just test products on the back of my hand and then clean it off after. I'll be sure to clean it off with alcohol or hand sanitizer from now on, ew! I haven't heart of nature's gate but thanks for recommending it :) I'm sad I missed so many of your posts lately.. so busy =( I hope you're doing well Georgina!
