Awhile back I ordered 6 jars of glitter from this super bright and colourful Lime Crime site. (Pic will be posted, I WAS a customer, not making things up to DEFAME Lime Crime. Just want an answer)
I thought it was neat to find eyesafe glitter so I bought them when they were on sale for $10 instead of $12. I was still new at buying cosmetics online, so I thought I was getting a truly UNIQUE product. Then I found another site that had glitter as well and ordered 3 sample baggies. I got them a few weeks later and realized they were the same of 3 of the colours I already bought. If I had found this site first I would have only paid a 3rd of the price.
I know it's not possible for a company to create their own "shades" of glitter (except wait, you can Aromaleigh blended a whole bunch.......) But the crazy part was the price for what you get!
Once again, you'll probably think "you idiot, you're the one who dropped $60 on effing glitter" but I will repeat, I was a total n00b! I'm sure a lot of your customers are too. They see shiny stuff and then buy, forgetting to research first.
(following pic, not Lime Crime, just same glitter. Lime Crime jars shown below)
Did you realize this and that's why you stopped with the glitter? Don't you see why people are angry with the eyeshadows as well? We ARE NOT jealous. We just expected unique, original products and got repeats.
Changing the size of your products are not going to change the fact that your colours are very, very similar to the ones bought from a wholesaler. You could have added some kind of shimmer, SOMETHING so people could say "oh, maybe she did mix them herself" except there is no difference.

You can censor your blog all you want and try to censor everyone else with a less than stellar review but FYI:
I will not buy from you, my family will not buy from you, my friends will not buy from you and I'd like to keep it that way.
Leaving out reviews, posts, making people pull stuff down, all you are doing is fueling the fire.
I'd like to say one last time, I'm not saying your products are repackaged (I don't know this 100% so I will not say that) I will say they are similar and ridiculously priced for something you can get in like 3 other places.
If you "made" more colours maybe people would get off your back. But until then, you cant shut everybody up.
~~~~~Also just found, glitters ARE still being sold for a lame high price at

Buy it here and lose your money for a tiny jar OR....
Buy it here for half price!! Same colour. (once again not defamation, I actually own the 2 and they are the same, so bite me)

So THAT'S why you won't answer me......
High five, girlie! Very well spoken. I only wish that her "followers" would realize that we aren't trying to "destroy" her, only educate them. It makes me sad to see young girls spend money on products when they do not know the full story, especially in this economy. I have a lot of makeup (too much? lol) and I can find similar colors to each of LC's eye dusts and glitters. This isn't saying that they are repackaged, but they aren't unique or unusual colors. I don't really understand how people think her eyeshadow-making video shows any unique process whatsoever. Anyone who knows the color wheel can see that Black+Blue+Purple Shimmer= dark, shimmery blue with purple shimmer. I'm mostly frustrated and bored with this by now, LC is just feeding the fire. It would have went away WEEKS ago.
ReplyDeletePS...LOVE funny cat pictures...They are in coffee mugs!! *squee*
ReplyDeleteYup. Every time she gets something deleted, or makes a new video it just tips more people off! You'd think she'd learn to just shhhhhhhh. lol.
ReplyDeleteBut we're all just jealous hater minions I guess. What do we know. :P
I'm super glad I didn't buy any of the dusts. My cart had like 7 or 8 in at one point but my brain said "there has to be a better way!" and I didn't return. I think I went to mac instead though and bought expensive pink and naked lunch to make up for the void lmao
lol. Kittehs will rule the world! One meow at a time
ReplyDeleteHaha We are! I'm just sooo jealous that I can't swindle people out of money. I only wish I could be that cool.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you didn't buy any! There are so many better ways to spend your money XD OOh I want expensive pink! It's so pretty!
And Kittehs? love em.
I put up a comparison picture! I really wish I found BFTE or Aromaleigh first. I could have bought 15 sale glitters from Aromaleigh for the price Crime Lime charged :(
