I still want to know why/how Amanda's youtube user ID (from the price scanner video) left this comment:

"Sep 28, 2012

atimberlake179The girl who hates her sunglasses didn't mention I gave her a La Mer beauty cream for FREE that cost me over 30.00 for bringing me customers. Why wasnt this mentioned? it kind of taints your objectivity of this video to hide a bonus item and claim you were ripped off..."

Red Carpet Box Please If anyone is unhappy with their purchase we will gladly refund your purchase price and pay for your return postage upon receipt. It was never our intent to mislead anyone vida must have been the store brand, but the purse is still the same. Just put the envelope back together with all tags attached and return the package in the same envelope with your new label. Upon receipt we will refund your purchase and your shipping costs." Typical. No accountability. It was the store or supplier's fault. Never intended to do harm. I am sorry, but whoever signs up after this latest, is asking for it. There were lots of new buyers on this bag too- some who said they never ordered a bag or sub from anywhere until now. I would have done research.

I totally get why people are calling Patty out on putting a sticker on top of another brand since it is just another one of her ways of scamming people obviously, but I am sitting here wondering what is "Vida" and why would that make it a desirable purse in the first place (as opposed to River Island, or whatever)? Maybe I'm out of touch with moderate purse brands idk.

I haven't heard of the brand either...but the sites I found...well those are not moderate purse brand prices at all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> They're like 1k+ if that's a $ sign...if it's not...blame it on the fact I'm not fully awake yet.

And of course it will be the "distributor's" fault that sold it to Patty, just like when she raved about the amazing, fantastic earrings she was sending. She said that she had looked at every pair and they were so great.. then someone called her our on them being crap and suddenly she went and looked at them again and just couldn't believe it !

Yep, and she had nooo idea the stila stuff was expired, blah blah blah. You can only play dumb so many times...

Wow... just wow.... 

I just finished reading all the rants on this purse topic on their FB page.  I wonder how many of these types of issues it will take before this company is shut down.  

As a footnote - there is a pic of the contents of the "Hostess" box.  One of the brands there "Flip It" eyeshadows.  I don't think they even make those anymore.  I remember buying them like 6 or 7 years ago...

I wonder if it would help to report these folks to Fbook?

Wanted to include more info on Flip It.  After a few minutes of Google-ing.  They were made by Bonne Bell (kids makeup mostly - like lip smackers) and by 2002 they were being clearanced out at Target - which means they were at the end of their run over 10 years ago.  (so my guess would be they are beyond expired)

More - these were designed to go in an empty "pallete" type box - which I think had four "holes" in it where you could put in whatever colors of these Flip Its that you wanted - so that your compact would be customized to your fave colors.  I couldn't find anyone who was still selling the compacts - which means that you are getting 2 pans of eyeshadow which will just be loose and floating around in your makeup drawer (unless you have a magnetic pallete - which is not that common - not to mention I think most folks who have a magnetic custom pallete use better quality make-ups than Bonne Bell)

Finally, the same color she shows in her pic (kind of a mustardy-goldenrod color) is the only color that seems to be around anymore, and I found it on ebay and other "lots" types of sites - even found one where you could get 240 of these for 25 bucks.

Nothing about ANY of that says "Red Carpet" to me.  Just. Sayin.

She has a bunch of Bonne Bell stuff so she must have gotten a closeout lot from 2005

Hey Honicakes, now that you mention it. I did have one of these.......when I was 13! (I'm 27) It was my first ever makeup palette and it had 2 colours shimmery blue and green. I haven't seen them since except maybe a Dollar store, also years ago. Yeeesh

 

[kawaiimeows]

This isn't the first time she's featured a Bonne Belle product either, and that Hostess kit look like something I'd be excited to get when I was like 12. I feel like this company is really taking advantage of women who do not know much about beauty products, and what they can really get for their money. Heck last week I got Peter Thomas Roth Eye Cream and Stila liquid lipstick for $25 from bloom and yesterday I got the balm jovi palette from birchbox for $5. All of that for not much more than the price of one of her "red carpet boxes."
