Definitely. Pansy is more of a purple iris shade. Luv has more pink in it; it is more of magenta-violet.

KVD makes a much better product than Lime Crime. I have and LOVE LUV. LUV is one of my top five fav lipsticks. I am a magenta-Violet fan.

first- thanks to whoever posted that screenshot of dupes- they look spot on! Gonna collect them!
And for those saying it's too much of a hassle- really? I feel like dealing with a Venus restock is just as much of a hassle lol. Keeps getting postponed, website crashes, have to try for hours...seems like just as much of a hassle to me lol
Also for those saying this isn't effecting them....they are feeling it HARD. Pretty much every big makeup ~guru~ I follow on insta has denounced them and publicly said they will not be supporting them any longer. Add on to what that insta said about Sephora dumping her- They are definitely going to take a huge hit from this.

They will...IF people stop buying their products. Saying it is one thing. Actually doing it is something completely different. Are they in the midst of a PR nightmare? Absolutely. Can they recover from it? Yes. Will they? That all depends on the customers. That's the only point I've been trying to make. Words alone won't hurt the company enough to cause any real damage (sorry but it's stil just words as long as it's just a post on social media) but if people put some real action behind those words then LC will be in danger. Time will tell. Thankfully there are a lot of great brands out there so people aren't limited in where they can choose to spend their money.

I honestly don't think all these IG/YT people really care or even know what's going on. I think most of them are boycottinfg LC because it's the thing to do now. Wjy weren't they all making these announcements 2-3 weeks ago when the hack was announced? Because some big IG personality hadn't done it back then, so there was no one to follow. Jaclyn Hill, who just made her announcement yesterday, but just posted a YT video 4 days raving about LC! There's no way she just learned about shadiness of the company within those 3 days! They're all just a bunch of sheep.

Oh I agree completely that it's the thing to do now. Or that they may only be doing it because of negative backlash they received, which says a lot! For instance I'm sure that's what happened with jaclyn. She raved about them and people probably jumped on her for supporting them. When she realized the community was turned against LC, she jumped on board.
Regardless if all these famous mua keep denouncing them and not using their products anymore, I think that WILL have an effect. The makeup community has always known about limecrime, it's not like that's something new. They have branched out into more mainstream culture due in part to youtube and instagram 'artists'. my best friend who doesn't follow makeup at all, wanted to buy cashmere because she saw it on instagram. If all that goes away... they will still have customers but the reach will not be as far.

I remember wanting Red Velvet for YEARS before I actually got into makeup, after reading about it online somewhere. At the time I never wore lipstick, and I figured if I ever do, that would be one of the first ones I would purchase. I had no idea about LC and Doe Deere.

Honestly bloggers and instagram and youtube people are their everything. Why else would they be sending out tons of product to them to advertise even though they dont even have those products in stock online.
I mean think about it they don't have traditional advertising...it's not like they are going to buy magazine ads or something. And they aren't in stores so people can't just stumble upon it. You have to be specifically looking for it because you heard about it somewhere. Online. And if no one is talking about them online except negative stuff, well....

I don't remember how I stumbled upon a picture of it...but I did. I think I was looking for recipes for Red Velvet cake (no joke lol).
I see your point though. The social media/internet influence on certain products has caused people to fall into the herd mentality. It's almost sad really.
I found out about LC when they released the Witches collection .. whatever it was called ... with Salem in it on TUMBLR!
Their tumblr used to be poppin! LOL

I think tumblr might be the last place to get on board the anti LC train. Only because I haven't seen anything negative about them on there.
I am not as active on Tumblr as I used to be =(
I'll go have to see what's going on with the LC page

This colour looks pretty...like all the others. Its a shame Doe is such a dope. I heard about some of the drama before but I decided I'd form my own ideas and purchased from them around the time Pink Velvet was just released. But now after all this CC fraud stuff and how bratty Ive seen her be towards people I cant buy her stuff anymore
