Say No To Lime Crime?


I decided to write this post after some serious consideration. I know some people will like it, some may not. I think it's important to be ALLOWED voice your opinion and especially on subjects of importance. 


For some time I have heard nothing but negative things about Lime Crime. Google it and the list and websites devoted to the problems are endless. I understand that someone as eccentric as Doe wants to have a makeup brand to reflect that character and for years I have been in love with the colours and ideas from their brand. Boy have I been brain washed haha. 

I have three makeup items from Lime Crime. A lipstick, Velvetine and a palette. I will not promote them any further on my blog or YouTube channel and I will not purchase anything else. There are many other brands who deserve the money. 

Customer service is very important and having worked in management and retail I can see why so many people are frustrated. With Lime Crime being mainly internet based and you're being called an asshole by the owner? That is just absurd. To go as far as to block followers, call them out and say you can't get in touch when they're tweeting to you? That is weird. 


I found this image on Instagram with the #BoycottLimeCrime hash tag and it makes me feel so sick. How rude and disrespectful is that?!

The latest drama for Lime Crime is the hacking/fraud cases. If you were unfortunate enough to have used a credit or debit card through Lime Crime's website then you may have had money taken from your acc. Several have said it was up to ten transactions of hundreds of dollars and some have had up to $10k taken. This has been met with ignorance from Lime Crime and they are already blocking, deleting and picking on those who are voicing their issues. Why is it so hard for them to say sorry and to rectify the issue?

A number of large YouTubers, bloggers and MUAs have voiced their decision to not shop or use Lime Crime again. 



I think everyone will appreciate the dupes above. 

Make your own opinion on this situation and do your research. Don't follow a trend. I would rather support indie brands that like to help customers and that appreciate their customers. I will not purchase anything more from Lime Crime but will finish up my products I have already. I will not post images of them on any of my social media. 

What are your thoughts?

NYX Face Off: Soft Matte Lip Cream vs Butter Gloss

Image
Want to know what I think is better from popular brand NYX? I am a huge fan of NYX. I love that whilst they have some dupes for higher end products they have a tonne of their own original products. The Soft Matte Lip Creams are an almost moussey feeling lip cream. I mean they don't call it a cream for nothing. I would highly recommend using a lip balm previous to applying this product. It dries matte so if there are any dry patches, it will sink into them. Whilst on the lips I would let it dry and apply as many coats as you like. I would typically use two. Whilst the colour is a vibrant hot pink (Addis Ababa) it can be sheered out to your preference. I find that these stay on the lips for up to four hours. Now, I have heard a lot about the hyped Butter Glosses. When NYX was released in Ireland earlier this year I decided to try one. I gave into the hype (oh no!). There was quite a selection but opted for Peaches and Cream, a gorgeous pinky coral. I hadn't and sti

My Acne Story | LUSH Grease Lightning

Image
Hello loves,  Well I have a different kind of post today. It is about my acne and a product I tested to try help it out.  I mentioned this in my Top 5 LUSH products post just this week. It is one of a kind. I am about to share some rather honest pictures so look away if you're easily offended.  My skin is oily in the t-zone area and can be dry elsewhere. It is also quite sensitive and I have redness on my jawline that can sometimes be quite visible. I use to have acne prone skin when I was a teenager and into my early 20's.  I will link to the LUSH website where you can see ingredients etc at the end.  I had noticed several blackheads on my face and really didn't want them to sit there and become worse so I decided to try this product. It straight away smells like Witch Hazel and Tea Tree which I like, it's an almost clean smell. It feels like a gel and as it dries you can feel it tighten over the designated area. This disappears when yo

Benefit 'Stay Don't Stray' Review

Good Afternoon, Well it has been a minute since I done a review here. I will explain in a post next week where I have been and all that. So, I have always been a huge fan of the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It is my absolute favourite eyelid primer. Nothing compares to it BUT I needed to try some more high end primers as my curiosity was getting the better of me. I saw some mixed reviews for this Benefit product, like seriously mixed reviews. Sometimes that is the selling point on a product, you have to find out what it's like then. They have two shade varieties, light/medium and medium/deep. What Benefit say about this product 'This dual-action power primer works 360 degrees around the eyes to make concealers AND eyeshadows STAY PUT. Concealers don't crease, eyeshadows stay vibrant & true. Contains sodium hyaluronate known to hydrate and Vitamins C & E known to help fight signs of aging.' When I first wore this product my expectat
