I came across this information online and wanted to share. This post is all links and info collected and presented by other people in the hope that others will read it and share it... There is some information online showing that the owner of Lime Crime actually threatened a blogger (who posted a negative review) with a lawsuit. Unless she took the review down and made a public apology. Which she did. Then LC demanded she delete that and read a scripted apology as her own instead.

They also have the exact same colors - to the naked eye- as another brand -Beauty From the Earth- that admitted buying some of them from a wholesaler called TBK Trading and repackag...
