Walking into Sephora or your favorite department store can be practically deadly. Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. Let’s just say it can make one want to kill themselves.
Sometimes we’re wooed into the wrong shade by a hot male makeup artist who tells us we look “fabulous,” sometimes we splurge on something expensive and weird because a friend at work told us it works, and sometimes we just buy the first bronzer we see because there are just too many alternatives and the lunch break clock is ticking. No matter what, beauty shopping without the proper research is a disaster waiting to happen. And as if your neon orange face isn’t bad enough, the culprit is often un-returnable. Sweet.
Unload your menacing makeup to people it actually works for on our favorite little makeup site MakeupAlley. You can put that $40 barely-touched bronzer up for adoption on the Swap boards, or trade it for items on your Wish List (like that Benefit perfume you’ve always wanted). Best of all, you can browse reviews for nearly every beauty item ever created in the reviews section, to keep from ever mispurchasing again. Need to know which bronzer to pick? Go with the highest-rated. Can’t decide on a lipstick based on the ad? See what users thought of it and compared it to.
Maybe there is life after lipstick.
