In case you're wondering what the big fuss about Lime Crime is (from Racked)

Here's a thorough (and fascinating) explanation. So much drama!

The article also has some good information about how the beauty industry works, such as that mainstream and even prestige companies do not manufacture many of their products in house; rather, various brands order products from the same few factories and put their own labels on them (more on that here).

Shameful Behavior

If you needed more convincing to replace your Smashbox primer with Monistat Chafing Relief Gel, how about this? (Warning: gross fat-shaming behavior at the link.) The main problem, in my view, is how the company handled the issue. Apparently reaching out to her on Facebook, but then never actually contacting her? Shameful. That's the same as endorsing the behavior of that individual.

(If anyone has an update on this story, I'd be glad to hear it, but I assume that nothing more has been done.)
