Unless they are berry/purple darker colors. I have trouble with picking shades with Mr. Ford. His lighter colors on me pull more orange/coral on me then they appear in the bullet. I love his formula, but his shades can be tricky for Pink Casper. As for the dents, to me, and I will own I am not a scientist, to have a dent like that it had to be twisted up in the tube, then damaged. Based on, if the cylinder of the container is smooth, even if the actual lipstick got loose, how would it get the mark??? OK, you brainiacs who I am in awe of, please share what you think.....It is not like butter softened is in a cardboard box that can be crushed. Metal unless sat on by Dumbo would not bend. To me this look like returns and resold. Which at least in Illinois I think is not allowed. Unless there is a seal that is still in place. Oh, the testers not being the same size. Love you dearly Ms. Monsy, but next time look at the size of the Chanel d"Ombre tester and compare to the size you actually purchase. The tester is smaller. I agree this is not always the case. But for some products it is.
