Ulta Beauty is being accused of reselling used makeup.
A former employee decided to spill the tea on Twitter & said whenever a customer would return an item, they were told by managers to repackage or reseal the items & put them back on the shelves. She says it didn’t matter what it was, from foundation sticks to liquid lipstick, they were told to clean it up & re-shelf it.
Once this was said, other former Ulta employees from different areas began to chimed in & agreed that this was also practiced at the stores they worked at. One woman says the store did it so their shrinkage would be low.
Of course, some employees said this was something their specific stores did not do.
Ultra released a statement to TODAY,
