Original Link here: DON'T BE FOOLED!! BY SCANDALOUS COSMETICS!? - Yahoo! Answers
Copy and Pasted from Link:" "Actually, Scandalous Cosmetics is merely the same cosmetics as Rubys from the West Covina mall.Manic Panic ,Medusa Far from original. From a consumer stand point you don't think about it, but as a MAKEUP ARTIST- i know that Scandalous is bought from the wholesale/private label company LADY BURD Cosmetics.
I guarantee this is the same-100%
So if you want to buy it from them! plus is stains you eyelids there eye base jajaja!!! is a joke try NYX JUMBO PENCIL IN COLOR MILK IT IS GREAT AND PICK UP GREAT COLOR !!!!"
I believe he/she is only stating how this company, "Scandalous Cosmetics", is exactly the same as Manic Panic, and Ruby's...and most likely several other makeup brands and companies we've all used for their well pigmented makeup. These companies purchase bulk unlabeled products from "Lady Burd Cosmetics" and have the company label them and ship them out at wholesale prices.
Here are the site's, feel free to check them out and compare colors and products. In some cases...even the names remain the same. Manic Panic has some eye dusts and eye shadows that they kept the same names for that Lady Burd created for them. Most companies change the names to make it look more authentic.
Lady Burd Cosmetics (Manufacturer)
LadyBurd® - Exclusive Private Label Cosmetics
Manic Panic (stars like Joss Stone and Marylin Manson have used this company)
Tish & Snooky's MANIC PANIC NYC
Medusa's Makeup (I personally have purchased many different products from this company and find that there are much cheaper but better quality things out there, which I will give the website links for below.
Medusa's Make-Up bright mineral eyeshadow, pure pigment, all natural makeup
Feel free to compare the products and colors. They are virtually one in the same. Not that anything is wrong with that though, this is just how businesses work. I personally find nothing wrong with purchasing makeup and products from companies like this, because this is exactly what all businesses do, one way or another. I personally prefer cheaper prices though, so I like makeup artist run stores and smaller businesses, they are much more personal and it is much easier to know what you are purchasing EXACTLY!
Links are below to AMAZING eye shadow and makeup stores that let you sample products for $1.00 to even $.50 to $.25 cents. Makeup is very comparable to the infamous makeup artist company M.A.C. Please check these sites out.
Fyrinnae (Most comparable to MAC, IMO)
Fyrinnae
Pure Luxe Cosmetics
Flash Intro Page
Electric Cosmetics (check out their Gallery)
Paint Cosmetics
Coastal Scents (Their 2 main 88 eyeshadow pallets have proven to be Extremely comparable to MAC quality!!! This company is also known for their AMAZING MAC comparable quality makeup brushes.)

Michael's (Amazing craft store find makeup brushes....softer, better and more versatile then most MAC quality brushes)

I also HIGHLY recommend the NYX Jumbo Pencils, they have plenty of colors to choose from. These pencils are great bases for your eye shadows and help keep them from creasing and smudging throughout the day. Always use a primer though, (like Urban Decay Primer Potion from Sephora - Sephora: Beauty, Skin Care, Makeup, Hair, & Fragrance - ). They also brighten up colors and make them much more vibrant and if you use white (milk jumbo pencil) this will make all of your eyeshadows show up more true to color and true to what you see in the pot/pan.

I just read that and I am in disbelief; I feel almost cheated, and betrayed which is silly considering I have never bought any of the aforementioned products (but I have contemplated it).
I found this when I was looking up info on Scandalous Cosmetics, and now I'm wondering if it's true.
I mean, I realize that not all companies formulate their own make up; that would be too expensive. But this is just ridiculous. How do you guys feel about this? Am I the only one who never knew?
