The shadows look good. Thanks for the swatches. I will probaby order a few from the new bitch slap, because they have the bright light blue I want and there are few more colors I want to order from there.

^ If you get the bright light blue can you do a swatch and tell me how it is? I also want that color too.

Thanks for all the reviews. I saw this chich on you tube and I really thought she was an ametueur...fooled me! But I'll be in LA for the Makeup Show in March and I wanna snag some of these up of the shadows cuz I can't find them on Ebay..I wonder if they're comparable to Lime Crime makeup??

i actually purchased their LIGHT BASE b/c of all the great reviews on youtube. and MAY I SAY, WOW! a little DOES go a loooong looooong way; its like a thick paint almost. $14 USD well spent i have to say. i highly recommend, it makes my e/s POP so much more than any other bases i've used (i.e. MAC-PAINT, MAC-LUNA, MAC-PAINT POTS, NYX JUMBO PENCILS, URBAN DECAY, REVLON CREME SHADOWS)

Ok, SO I read this entire thread, and I don't know what to say that has not already been said. It's pretty plain to see that Scandalous makeup, is kind of a scam. WTF, "triple Pigmented"? What is that supposed to even mean? I have some medusa's makeup (two eye shadows 9 or 10 eye dusts) and they don't seem "tripple pigmented" Just well pigmented. Ripping off MAC's logo, and insulting them, yet imulating them, and riding on their name (like the tagging on the YT channel): Really Lame. Prisscilla stating in her videos "this is a haul of BLAH BLAH BLAH" Honestly, it seems like she was trying to mislead people into thinking she was just a consumer. I <3 all the members here at specktra for getting to the bottom of this. This "scandal" was an interesting read.. (pun intended)

I read on another makeup forum that Scandalous used to be in actual stores inside the mall but they didn't get as much attention as they had hoped for so they moved it to kiosks. It just seems like they downgraded by doing that but whatever works for them. I usually get annoyed of the people that work at the kiosks because they try to stop you and talk to you even when you're on a cell phone! I don't think they are like that though. My friend said their makeup is very highly pigmented but they don't do very much advertising and it's very hard to reach them. I've seen their site and it's not very informative and if you try to reach them through myspace, they don't respond. Seems like they aren't doing their best at getting their names and products out there. Their products are not easy to get. I only know of a few malls here in CA that sells Scandalous cosmetics.

Well, I'm still not that put off by Scandalous. I know not to use their base for sure. I'm over creamy bases after trying the one from TKB trading lol. Just too much effort to perfect for my lazy butt. I know I can't get anything directly from Ladyburd, I think, so I don't mind that much with Scandalous being a middle person. Medusa is cheaper, which sounds great to me, but Scandalous supposedly has a wider selection. Either way, I definitely know I am not ever going to purchase from Bitch Slap cosmetics. What kind of freaking name is that for a brand/company? How degrading.

And just so you know, I read the ENTIRE replies when she posts them, as I do whenever I find something helpful. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who does. It's a shame you feel the need to be so mean for no apparent reason.

, and rude ppl are soo un-cool, as for the whole Scandalous Cosmetics topic, I live in Whittier Ca, Im close to all their locations, the Downey one is always full of girls from Downey HS, or girls getting their make up done for their quinceanera so I've never even stopped by to that one, and the one in Montebello, I dont care for cus it too is always packed, and they have a Threading "studio" this location but im faithful to my threading studio in cerritos so I have never tried it, and the third location in Lynwood's Plaza Mexico, I went one day after school, and I was interested in their eye shadows but the sales guy was not even paying attention to me and he was the only person that the kiosk, all he did was ask me if I have ever used Scandalous and I said no, and he was like oh ok, I was like ok buddy are you not interested in my buying your makeup?!!...I guess he wasn't, right?, but I have been hearing their shadow base is sick, so I want to try it really bad, but as for the company itself, to me it seems they are trying to look alot like MAC employees since they wear nothing but black, I mean yeah its cool, that they have their rules and regulations for their work clothing, but I think all black is MAC's thing, but hey thats just my lil ol opinion

All black is a standard thing for just about every make-up company that doesn't have an actual uniform.

For a start-up, a kiosk is the more economical way to get mall space than a full storefront. I don't know if that reason they switched or not, but I would find it hard to believe that money/cost wasn't a factor. Of course, you don't want to market "we could barely pay the rent, so we got a kiosk", so you'd spin into "your choice" to move out into the mall.

I am going to guess that controversial stunts like having "corpses" laying around with signs that beauty kills did not go over well with mall management. I know I wouldn't be impressed by that. Not because I'd be uncomfortable with the concept, but because I think it is an inappropriate venue for such a display. And from a management (as in the mall's) POV, unhappy/uncomfortable/unimpressed shoppers results in lower sales.

I agree that black clothing, in and of itself, is not necessarily indicative of copying MAC as it is not an uncommon practice. However, I would think if you were trying to separate yourself from MAC and their image, then you would maybe develop a signature color and/or style that wasn't all black. Something that said "Look at us! We *are* different."

You are too funny.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that was peeved at that name choice. Definitely is not marketable nor professional, IMHO.
