In regards to repackaging companies you are better off buying the mica and bases directly from a 'wholesaler' such as TKB & making it yourself for up to a third of the cost. Essentially when you purchase repackaged products you are wasting your money, putting it into the pocket of someone who has taken no creativity or initiative to produce unique make up. They're putting a small amount in a jar, putting a sticker on it and charging you more. So now, which one would you prefer?
@18YunaYubi18 Well they stick pretty easy if you use a paint pot or something like that. I like the NYx Jumbo Eye Pencils personally cause they're a little cheaper (If you leave them on a window sill or somewhere in the sun, when you use them they are like glue lol)

I agree, Lime Crime is kinda dumb for not admitting they simply add a base to their micas.
I like companies that disclose their repackaged shades, such as BFTE or GDE.
There are 4 Lime Crime colors I have, which are 'confimed' tkb colors, and while I agree they are pretty much identical, the Lime Crime ones actually stick lol.
You are so lucky if straight mica sticks to your eye. I practically need glue to get straight mica to stick lol.
@18YunaYubi18 Yeah but most companies mix The Micas to make their own shades. And Micas do stick to your eye, you just need a base, like an NYX Jumbo Eye pencils.
I'm not ragging on Limecrime intentionally, I really disdain companies that repackage products (Coastal Scents does too, just thought I'd warn you)
Why spent 14 bucks for each shadow when you can make a few of your own for the same price? Maybe I'm just being cheap but if you've looked on TKB there are some amazing colours for cheap
Omg seriously, every company buys their micas somewhere. GDE, Heavenly Naturals, Taylor Made,Beauty From The Earth.... Yeah, Doe Deere isn't the only one who repackages. MOST small companies do.
Sure, you can buy micas from TKB but they're not eyeshadow. These companies add other ingredients to actually turn them into eyeshadow. Buy mica from tkb and it wont stick to your eye. So all of you just fork over the extra 4 bucks and get a finished product and shut up.
@planetmilkshake Because education is key. If people know this and buy Lime Crime's products, then fine. Whatever. They can do what they want: it's their money, nobody cares. But I'm really glad I read about it on a youtube video. Because of it, I did some research before wasting mine, which I'm really thankful for.
Just google it. It didn't take me long to find out enough about her to turn me off from buying her products, ever. She's got a long rap sheet of not being a very nice person.
@kstevexo Google "Lime Crime TKB repackaging" and do some research... and come to your own conclusion. I personally refuse to give them my money on principle of dishonesty and rude customer relations.
Even if it is proven Lime Crime came up with the TKB matches on their own (doubtful), the coincidences are too many, and why wouldn't you just go somewhere cheaper for the same, or similar product?
But yeah. do the research and decide for yourself.
