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.

I didn't have to really research them either. I remember many moons ago going to Google swatches after seeing someone on FB raving about their lippies,so I went looking for swatches and reviews only to stumble upon all the insanity that was going on at the time with them and it put me off from buying from them. That article about LaSplash really pissed me off.I hope she got fired after that incident because that's completely inexcusable and wrong on so many levels.

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.

So true. How much of our clothes, shoes, and other belongings are made by women and childen abroad in poor conditions? And men too, for that matter? Getting paid less than a living wage while the company's management are wealthy and profiting off their cheap labor and lack of labor protection laws outside of the US. It is pervasive. What is different about limecrime, to me, is the stupidity of the brand's ambassador - doe. Just like how big companies drop celebrity or athlete sponsorships when those folks do things that don't positively represent the brand, limecrime gets amplified negative feedback for their main brand ambassador being an idiot. They deserved the backlash for the security hack, but so does la splash and anyone else. Target just had to pay a $10 million settlement I read. Americans expect to be treated with a level of respect and dignity for their role as a customer and lime crime doesn't get that.

Do we know what happened with the lawsuit? The results? Do we know anything about the circumstances of the case of the women suing him, or any background of that incident for that matter? Im not trying to say that those allegations are not disgusting, but the case of doe Deere Is very different. Her replies to customers on Instagram and Twitter over the years "like calling a customer a dumbass for a pretty innocent comment", have been documented and seen by 100's of people. You can see her in her hitler costume and her excuse for it is documented as well. We saw her ignoring 100's of comments from customers voicing concerns over cc theft, and then we saw her try to blame target first thinking that would take care of it. Very different situations.

I'm not a lawyer so the language in this article is a bit overwhelming for me! It seems like there were three different lawsuits (employees vs. John Davler, John Davler vs. their insurance company, and one i can't identify) going between a bunch of different courts and I just can't keep up!

But long story short, the insurance company wouldn't cover the payout to the employees for harassment (so I'm assuming employees won) so then John Davler sued the insurance company. It's even on reuters and troutman sanders SMH

Oh no! That's the exact thing Lime Crime was doing that upset a lot of people. I dropped so much cash on LA Splash in the last month, this is about to be such a disappointment... :(

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm very happy with most of my LA Splash liquid lipsticks, and I will probably continue buying from them and Lime Crime for that matter (barring any unforeseen circumstances such as account hacking) as there seems to be dirt on pretty much any company, big or small, if you dig deep enough. Plus, I don't know enough about some of these situations.
