When they are out in town, or about to meet people etc pop into boots/superdrug/any other store and fix your make up with the testers and spray on some perfume and leave?

My poll choice would be secret option number four - "No, but that's a great idea!"

Sefka · 31-01-2012, 11:11 PM

No, but when I was in college I worked evenings in Boots. It was very very obvious, especially on the perfume counter, when women came in just before closing to get one sample of perfume and then leave.

Athiri · 31-01-2012, 11:21 PM

hahaha, I don't do it any more but I used to :P

Field Of Paper Flowers · 01-02-2012, 12:45 AM

Not everytime but when I walk through Debenhams I occasionally have a spray of some perfume, usually something like Angel or Alien... The ones I can't afford. ;)

LemonTangWang · 01-02-2012, 12:47 AM

All the time

staceyrawrcakes · 01-02-2012, 10:47 AM

I do it occasionally, usually only when I've gone out with no make up and realised how haggard I look

FabulousMike · 01-02-2012, 06:40 PM

Yes, yes i do, i always redo my make up this way!

While i'm at it i pop to the tills and help myself to some of the cash.

BridgesAndBalloons · 01-02-2012, 06:45 PM

I never have, wouldn't really occur to me to test anything unless I was planning on actually buying something and wanted to test it first.

I don't like testing things because I think assistants might come to offer me help, and I find talking to people I don't know difficult, so prefer to be left alone. With make up I usually buy what I can afford or buy brands I like.

Pi.R^2 · 01-02-2012, 09:56 PM

I would totally do this, but I'm actually incompetent at applying make-up, so it would never end well :(

Bellatrix · 01-02-2012, 09:57 PM

I do with perfume but not make up. Too many bacterial cells lingering aorund >.>

Sheltie90 · 01-02-2012, 09:59 PM

I always go in and spray the perfume but I never spray just one smell I spray loads and then come out smelling like a prostitutes handbag .. fail!

Scaredy-cat · 01-02-2012, 10:13 PM

They dont do my perfume anymore.....
I stole it off my mum and i think it might have actually gone off. And i only wear it about once in a blue moon anyway

ha ha i totally do that as well.

Bigmike i grasp your sarcasm but how is it like stealing money? Testers are there to be used a just that, its not like you are taking it out of the shrink wrap using it and putting it back.

whirlpools · 01-02-2012, 10:38 PM

^ I was wondering that, and thinking "Hmm, if only the till had 'tester' written on it"!

Ninja Orange · 01-02-2012, 10:52 PM

No poll option coincides with my views. I'm simply a "no, never occurred to me/ why bother".

I am put off using make up testers because I don't know who has used them before me, so I'd rather not bother to test.

akita · 03-02-2012, 05:56 AM

ew no testers.

Pi.R^2 · 04-02-2012, 12:31 PM

Now this has got me thinking of food testers, in like Thorntons and stuff. HELLZ YEAH.

shadow-light · 04-02-2012, 01:01 PM

I have never thought of doing that... but now it has been suggested I think I would be too scared of a member of staff realising what I was doing and me getting into trouble
