Hello Beautifuls!
Before I start this post I want to insert the following disclaimer. *All opinions herein are my own. I am only stating what has been reported to me as fact by reliable and official parties and I refuse ANY legal responsibility for any offence caused to the company. This blog is my legal property and I reserve the right to publish what content I wish.*
It is fair to say few things have rocked the online beauty community as much as the brand Lime Crime has.
Lime Crime has always caused a divide amongst the online community, the people that loved it REALLY loved it and the ones who hated it REALLY hated it.
However Lime Crime were recently embroiled in a serious security scandal. Putting it bluntly their website was hacked last year which risked the personal and financial details of all their customers. However, in an act of appalling business management they did not notify their customers of this until FEBRUARY this year! Despite customers telling them on social media people had stolen money from their bank accounts.
This is absolutely disgraceful and as a business owner myself I am disgusted.
Another fact about Lime Crime (ignoring the fact that their eyeshadows are simply repackaged Mica Pigments) is that the quantity of product they supply to their young market base is an absolute bad joke. For example their Velvetines contain a measly 3g of product compared to 5g from a lot of their competitors. (Jeffree Star Cosmetics, Illamasqua, Melt Cosmetics, NARS, Pretty Zombie Cosmetics, Lunatik Cosmetic Labs, Kryolan etc).
I am yet to meet a professional and qualified make-up artist who will touch Lime Crime make-up. Their business reputation is appalling. They have also reportedly taken legal action against bloggers who give the company a negative review.
There are some amazing articles and videos online detailing the companies shady past so I really recommend checking those out to further educate yourself.
This post is only my opinion. However I will be removing all previous Lime Crime posts from my blog as I wish to give this company no further promotion.
