Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Nov 1, 2017

Fashion Emergency:

A woman has sued Sephora after a lipstick tester in the store allegedly gave her oral herpes. Alluresays a the unnamed California woman claims that she visited a Hollywood Sephora store in October 2015 and --like many of us who walk into a makeup store-- tried a lipstick from one of the tester tubes on display. The lawsuit claims the woman --who allegedly had never had sores before that visit-- was subsequently diagnosed with an HSV-1 infection. (HSV-1 is the virus that causes oral herpes and is a lifelong infection.) Now, the woman is suing the makeup chain for emotional distress caused by their failure to offer safer testers, like individual samples.
Experts say yes, it is completely possible to contract herpes from a lipstick tester. To minimize your risk at the beauty counter, refrain from swiping shades directly on your lips. If you are going to try out a lipstick in a makeup store, first make sure to clean the lipstick with an alcohol swab. If you don't see one available, grab an employee and ask them to clean the tube before you test it. "Then use an applicator to apply the product to your skin." The same safety precautions go for other types of used makeup, too. If a friend of a friend asks to borrow your lipstick while touching up at happy hour, make sure you clean in between. (Bartha)
