I have ordered a couple of shades from Secret Kisses (who use the same suppliers as Ka'Oir and I have to say, their customer service was SUPERB!

Everything was reduced to $10.99 at the weekend, so I placed an order Sunday night (for Sunshine & Rockstar) but when I clicked to confirm payment I just got a white screen. I didn't get a confirmation email but I thought I'd give it til the morning to come through. I got nothing in the morning, so I went back to the site to re-order and all of the prices had gone back up to full.

I sent a message explaining what had happened and they sent me a one off code to get them both for the cheaper price :)


I am very excited to try them :)

I've been told at my local Space NK that they will no longer be carrying Lime Crime in their stores. I think I will be gone by the end of this month or next month.

Oh, if you can't believe all the drama now just wait until you see Xenia dress up a white woman in a cheap "Chinese-ish" robe and call her a China Doll to promote her new palette:

I have no ideal why this statement made me laugh. Lol.

All I can say is she has a fan base and is making money.

If anyone wanted an update to the Lime Crime Chinadoll debacle, I wrote two update posts on what's happened since I wrote my post.

Read this one first: http://portraitofmai.blogspot.com/2012/01/update-on-lime-crime-chinadoll-campaign.html

And then this one! http://portraitofmai.blogspot.com/2012/01/update-squared-about-lime-crime.html

I have not purchased from Lime Crime because of the debacle with repacking plain pigments and charging WAY more for them than you can buy them from other retailers (like Coastal scents) but this takes it to a new level. I am glad you posted these, as it reinforces my decision not to give my cash to a company that is IMHO pretty cheezy. Now, it is beyond cheezy and into racisim. Not cool.

I know that this is random and probably going to get the answer I don't really wanna hear but do you know where I can get LC 'Mint to be'?
The limited edition mint green, :(

I saw that the other day when I went in to their SoHo shop. Did they tell you why, or just that they weren't going to carry LC anymore? It's still on their site.

They didn't really give me a reason. I think its probably to make room for something new?

Honestly... I quite enjoy my LC lipsticks, but after this whole Chinadoll problem and her absolutely ignorance towards other cultures, plus her not even APOLOGIZING for her images though they offended a lot of people... I don't think I will be purchasing from this company anymore. And btw, I know she said "I'm sorry for anyone I offended..." but made up a huge slew of excuses... when all she really needed to do was apologize and mean it sincerely.

Also for anyone curious about the lipglosses... I was extremely disappointed by the lipglosses I bought, so much so I don't even want to use them, I end up eating so much gloss from them migrating (even after blotting lips and lining them, etc)... it's definitely not worth the $17 price tag. They are gorgeous... but they fade very quickly, and of course they were advertised as "The lipgloss you can wear alone it's so pigmented!" yet then I've been told by Doe Deere herself to blot, put foundation on my lips, lipliner, then gloss and make sure I be careful on the lines so they don't migrate... yeah, pain in the buttocks. The formula on these feels so lazy... I wonder if Doe Deere herself even WORE these to test them before selling them.

And of course, I've never bought the shadows for more than a few reasons.

Well...I agree with everyone about Lime Crime being a magnet for drama. I don't support the brand, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way NOT to purchase from them if they make a product I'm interested in. I think Doe Deere is ignorant, defensive, and probably more than a bit of a narcissist. Not a good way to be when you're trying to run a business.

That being said, has anyone picked up the LE Chinchilla lipstick released with the Lip Noir collection? I have yet to see a lipstick out there in a similar color (NYX's Power being the closest based on some random swatches I saw on a blog), and I'm wondering how deathly it might look on an NC25.

Any takers?

I forgot to add to my post—I'm thoroughly convinced that Chinchilla was blatantly ripped from Essie's Chinchilla nail polish. They look EXACTLY the same and the Essie polish is permanent and has been around for a while. That can't be a coincidence...can it?

I actually found it on another site for $3 so I ended up picking it up before it sold out! It's actually not as grey as you would think... it's more of a grey lavender color... it makes you look like death xD I just tried it on today when it came in the mail. It's alright... but again it's eeehhhhhhhhhhhh... I'm NC15 and it's super paleish on me and VERY lavender compared to a grey. Which kinda makes me sad, I was hoping for a serious grey, not a lavender, I have enough lavender.

Thanks SmashSmashBam! I've been lemming the shade, but if it looks a bit deathly on you it will definitely look deathly on me since I'm a little darker. I've been dying for a true gray lipstick and recently placed an order at Morgana Cryptoria for Melissa's Lady Grey lippie. It looks like a true mid-tone gray and I'm really excited about it. =)

I bought LC's Velvetines because I saw a guru raving about it...its OK, I have both of them but I didn't think it was all that amazing. The packaging is cute though. Not sure I will buy the other lipsticks...not my cup of tea.
