Anyone been shopping this week? What's shopping for make-up, skincare and perfume like?

Can we spray testers?
Can counter assistants help us with assessing shades/textures of makeup?
just want to limit my expectations before I go next week - squeal

I went to Boots today.

Zero testers. One of the SA said to a customer "oh the days of testers are gone, I'm afraid".

Other than that it was ok. One way system and you had to sanitize but normal otherwise. Lots of makeup was pretty understocked for some reason. The Milani and Physicians Formula shelves were almost empty. Perhaps they're phasing them out already.

No testers!!! you're killing me here.
I watched a vlog in Paris Sephora where they were spraying testers with gloves on - I was living in hope.

I was in Debenhams on Sunday - it was like a ghost town! No testers - in fact no product at any of the cosmetic counters and no staff behind counters. A few urban decay palettes on display and discounted products. That was about it! Think will have to continue shopping online.

Debenhams rarely has staff on makeup counters at her best of times. It’s like pulling teeth trying to find someone to serve you.
Our Debenhams has yet to open but maybe I should avoid it when it does then.

Before lockdown I had plans to change foundation and get colour matched. Can't see this happening, such a shame.

What a bout Boots, Selfridges, John Lewis? Could the assistants spray fragrance onto cards for us?
