I say you might as well use it. You spent your money and you didn't know about their bs beforehand.

[@]Vandekamp[/@], I just picked up Merlot anD KoF this weekend when I went to NYC. Have to play with them more. They are supposed to be transfer-proof, right? Mine never fully dried, even hours later 
Maybe I applied too much. These hacks, though :/// Good thing you all are catching the charges. I will be playing it safe and using a prepaid gift card as well for Berry Me 1+2. When I was at Ricky's, the display had a space for Berry Me 2 (also Coral Crush)! EDIT: Woah, the thread just blew up. That article is disgusting and I will not buy from a company that debases its employees. Bye, LA Splash!

If I were you, I would get Berry Me 2 from Ricky's. Stay away from these websites if you can.

All of these swatches are beautiful. My guess is the company decided to cut corners and did not want to pay for a box. Sometimes presentation is important. The lack of a box reminds you of a drugstore lipstick.Got my order today! Was able to do some super quick swatches before I have to run off to give a presentation.
Initial reaction: LOVE these! Jasmin is out of this world beautiful. Perfectly opaque in one swipe, and is more dimensional in person than in the photo. It doesn't have chunky glitter like Nala, Duchess, or Evil Queen. I totally see what that one IG user said by "rub to activate glitter" Once they were dry, I swipes my finger over the swatches to see how "smudge proof" they really were. After doing this, the gold glitter in Nala became visible (I didn't know it had glitter by looking in the tube) and so did Evil Queen and Duchess!
Alice and Jasmin don't have glitter but they have a sheen to them. Very pretty. Don't mind the patchy Alice swatch. It's totally opaque, I just knocked my arm on the windowsill before it set... oops!
However, Duchess and Evil Queen are more watery/thin based on my arm swatch. They'll probably take two coats to be fully opaque.
I love them all, though I don't know if I'll be purchasing from La Splash again. Too many cons to their website, slow shipping, and not to mention possible hacking into my information!!! AND I used Pay pal! Definitely not as secure as one would think.
Anyway... on to the swatches! I can't wait to test these out for wear. They took FOREVER to get off my arm. Once they set, I tried to wash them off with hot water and soap. Nope. Didn't even budge or smear. I took a hand towel and SCRUBBED my arm. Nothing. It took two makeup wipes and the makeup remover oil I got for free from them for buying 5. PS, my arm is still tinged pink!
Also, does anyone else think it's weird they don't come in boxes!? I got them in a bubble mailer today and actually was a little shocked.
^ L-to-R: Nala, Alice, Duchess, Evil Queen, Jasmin.
T-to-B: Nala, Jasmin, Alice, Duchess, Evil Queen.

I feel like you still can, especially the companies you've been ordering from for an extended period of time with no problems. I'm still going to order from places like Fyrinnae and Colourpop when the mood strikes me but I'm just going to be a bit more vigilant when ordering from places I have no prior knowledge of.Wow, so depressed. I feel like I can't order from any company any more

And here I was all stoked to play with Ghoulish, which is currently sitting at my boyfriend's parents' house until Wednesday. Oh well...I'll still try to enjoy it, but I'm done with LASplash now too. Whole lotta NOPE going on right there. All I want is good makeup available on a secure site produced by a company not run by psychopaths.

That's why I bought from Lime Crime. I'm not looking into these other places, and I am sure some are much worse... as has been proven now.So I just researched John Davler Inc. and its the parent company for John Davler Inc. BUT LOOK AT THIS SHIZZZ
[h=1]Jon Davler Inc. sued after employees allegedly ordered to undergo “vaginal inspections” to determine who had their period[/h]

IMO, this is way, WAY worse than what LC did. Way worse. This is horrible.

Agreed. The truth of the matter is, I doubt you could look into any big company and not find something negative in their history. Even purchasing from indie companies, I have seen some equally negative histories behind the company or owners. I could probably research until I am left with almost no company to purchase from, of course this is depending on where you draw the line as to what is "acceptable" to you. I'm not saying any of the above mentioned is RIGHT, just saying that very few companies follow perfect ideals. And remember, a company is not always one person(save an indie perhaps) there are hopefully other people behind a company doing what is right and removing the people who act inappropriate from their job.Kind of interesting that everyone is all "don't order from LC because of their past behavior", but no one researches the pasts of any of these other companies

this!
As for me I didn't have to research Limecrime, Doe's practices were all over her own and company's social medias. Plus other people being open with their experiences (like temptalia). This info on la splash is crazy...but I don't research into every company I buy from. I only bought from LAS once though a long time ago and had no problems. I am disgusted with that article though and I think people should be spreading the info more.

Hmmm....I don't really like that either. :sigh:@Vandekamp Hmm, maybe it's my monitor. These swatches look a little more brown to me. It just doesn't look as red as the promo pic. I mean, as we all know, promo pics are definitely not something to go by... but I think it's just not as I was picturing. I was hoping for a more deep dark vampy reddish shade.
