Those two companies both have a common like: fashionably bright. or Are they?
Lime Crime
Found this mineral makeup company few weeks ago. I have to admit, their pictures are convincingly pretty with a good photography clarity. Just a few BIG problems. they are repackaged retailer
1. Outrageous price - $12 USD for a 5g sifter jar (in the faq, she said it's 2g of product, right...) Someone at youtube says it's 1 gram before. Comes in a square based 5 gram jar. You could go over to youtube - someone is doing an eye look using them and see how much/big the jar is.
2. Suspicious business operation:
a) a retailer - I've seen swatches that remind me of TKB colors and some from Pureluxe (which is also a retailer)
B) botched reviews : I've seen some reviews and there're less than five 4-star ratings on their 'magic dust' eyeshadows - WITH favorable reviews of course. others are all 5-star. there no 3 star or less...
c) motto: So bright, it's illegal. I've seen favorable youtubers.. they wear them WET, that's where the motto comes from. Everything turns bright when used wet so this doesn't mean anything.
d) attack of thy fans: one youtuber made an honest review of this and later said that she was getting attacked verbally from Lime Crime fans after her video was out...
I've been to Aromaleigh and they offer fullsize in 5 gram jar with sifter adn they stated the net weight is only 1.2 gram. I don't buy from them, so I don't know if they come with a sifter or not. a Youtuber said that before it was only 1 gram then people started complaining so she then said it was 5 gram jar.
I've seen somebody on youtube (kudo to her) mentioned one of her friend wrote a 3-star review and was deleted without any notice.
What do you think? Do you think it's worth it because she's a celebrity? (as one of her fans mentioned in youtube, so it 'deserves' to be this much) Would you buy from this site in the future?
I'll borrow somebody's quote of review on Lime crime on makeupalley: So slight, it's illegal.. LOL
Glamour Doll Eyes reseller
price: samples: $2.00 for a bag and $3.50 for a jar ; about 1/4 tsp
full size: $8.00 5 gram jar
Once again, it's a repackaged seller. I've got. I thought this was a true indie company, but was disappointed because I got the SAME colors in my stash..
Dirty girl = many dupes, also in Pureluxe chocomint, etc
Gold digger = some dupes I've got from other company, forgot names
Some of their colors contain paraben, etc.
I think I'll stick to the mineral companies I trust..
