It seems to a lot of that lately. A few weeks ago I recall several nail bloggers images being used without their permission from a different company (off hand can't recall which bloggers and what company used their images without permission) then most recently RoseShock's images were being used by a company in Arizona to promote their products.
Tonight Shany Cosmetics posted on their Facebook wall a picture of Ana Roza and posted how to achieve the look using one of their 120 palettes. I was some what shocked to see Ana's photo there, a few weeks before Wet 'n' Wild used another of her images on their own wall. Just because she's a Brazilian blogger doesn't mean she doesn't have US followers or that her images should be used to promote another company's products. I posted on Shany Cosmetics wall in reply that the image was Ana's and posted the link to the blog entry but within hours my reply was deleted and I was banned from their wall! I've since emailed the CEO of the company about it but wanted to rant about it here as well because I think any company that uses another bloggers image to promote their own products is being deceptive.
Here is the link to Ana's blog entry: http://www.anaroza.com/2011/04/look-colorido.html
Ana used a 120 palette from a company in Brazil that looks to have gone out of business.
What do you think?
Edit: I emailed the CEO who is out of the country until the 5th but I also messaged their Facebook manager and received an apology and was unbanned. I was told that my post was mistaken as spam and next time to message them. I was also told the image came from Pinterest and was asked if I knew if Ana used Shany's palette. Ana hasn't updated her blog in ages however the palette she used was from a now defunct Brazilian company. The look, as I had originally mentioned on my own wall, can be duplicated but not with the palette they were promoting in that wall entry.
