For a long time now people have been hesitant to buy from Lime Crime. There is a long list of shady things the founder of Lime Crime has gotten involved in. There have been allegations of awful stuff tarnishing the name of Lime Crime. I’m not here to talk about the past, so I’m not rehashing old information.
The way people regard Lime Crime, as a scummy makeup company, is how I think of Too Faced. For years I’ve refused to give Too Faced any of my money. I saw an interview several years ago with the founder of Too Faced. The interview involved him insulting anyone who would dare to buy things from him. Lately, he’s drummed up some scandal.
I’m kind of over it though. I’m done with trying to keep up with which makeup companies are good vs. bad in the court of public opinion. I’ve decided that going forward, I want to try and judge companies on the merit of their products and not trying to make sure the CEO’s check all the right boxes.
If you’re wondering what’s changed my mind, it’s the fact that there has been a change at both Too Faced and Lime Crime. It’s also that they’ve released products that I’m extremely interested in. Too Faced with their Life’s a Festival collection. Lime Crime with their glittery lips and eyes. I love color and glitter, so these products are right up my alley.
I think it’s important to remember that there has been a regime change at both of these companies. I think their founders are both still involved with these companies, but they no longer command the ship. I hope this means that people will be more willing to give Lime Crime a chance. I hope they are able to put their previous devious behavior behind them for good. I hope both companies live up to the chance I’m willing to give them.
I say this because I’ve already written about Too Faced this year and I’m about to talk about Lime Crime’s Diamond Crushers. Please stay tuned for that.
However, there is one beauty company I’m not planning on buying from and that’s Kat Von D. Kat Von D has an amazing eyeshadow formula, the best liquid eyeliner I’ve ever tried and she has some lipsticks that are... okay. I don’t like that she’s jumped on the anti-vaccine train. This is a dangerous philosophy to have. This puts people at risk and I just can’t be okay with that.
I hate this because Kat Von D has my favorite eyeshadows. They are so creamy, buttery, and beautiful. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love the Tattoo Liner. I’ve heard that Stila has a fantastic liquid liner, so I plan on switching to that. As for the lipsticks, I can totally live without them. I honestly don’t think her lipsticks are worth the high end price that people have to pay. You can buy just about any other lipstick on the market (Except Covergirl!!! Whatever you do in life don’t buy Covergirl lipstick.) and it will be so much better.
