Why do influencers still support Lime Crime? I've never seen a more controversial makeup brand and I'm sincerely curious. It keeps on popping on my suggestions even though I've never liked an image or a post relevant to their products. I also do not buy from retailers who stock their products and don't follow anyone who supports the brand. So, why does it keep popping on my feed? For anyone who doesn't know, a few reasons why you should think twice before you support them:
-They didn't renew their security and left their website vulnerable.
-There was a data breach due to that fact and thousands of people had their details stolen (some even fell victims of identity theft or had their bank accounts compromised -one person had up to 10k stolen).
-They didn't tell their customers until months later.
-The owner threatened, blocked or sued anyone who has criticised the brand.
-There was a huge scandal about them claiming they're vegan and cruelty free when some of their ingredients weren't (they decided to remove those ingredients from their list, but not from their products).
-There were unidentified ingredients in their products. And the FDA had to step in.
-The owner dressed up as Hitler for Halloween.
-The owner had scammed people before creating Lime Crime by faking she'd gather money and donate it to an animal shelter.
-Lime Crime has been accused of repackaging products.
-Some of their products had mold/rust in them.
-The owner has insulted her customers multiple times -publicly.
