Believe it or not, I've seen worse in the horse industry.  There is one person who even died and came back to life.  Honestly if I didn't see you post this person's name I'd think we were talking about the same individual, down to the grammar and syntax.

Anyone seen the latest post? Apparently she's been admitted to the hospital and a very specialist is being flown in to see her. People really fall for this ish??

 

[SnowLeopard]

Lol, I can't believe this sub is in business. I just checked out their fb and found this especially hilarious: "Whether things are authentic or not, if its good quality product, who really cares about the name tag? People are really that superficial? Makes them even more sad." So I guess if you are upset about getting counterfeit makeup, it's bc you are superficial, lmao.

 

[zadidoll]

Someone actually posted that?! It's not about being superficial it's about being legal or illegal. Counterfeit products typically support illegal activity. If you support counterfeit products then in my book you support criminals.

I think she's completely missing the point about it being "about the name"...more like it's about knowing what the ingredients are, and what you are actually purchasing!

I had no idea WHY counterfeit makeup was so bad, until I was reading about the lead content, and that they literally will take anything and make it into "makeup".....who wants to risk putting that on your skin?

It makes me think of this book I read, that's  from the timeframe of when the FDA was formed. It was talking about how before the FDA, people were starting businesses making fake food products...they would boil sawdust and put in chemicals and food dye and call it "apple jelly". Things that said they had fruit in it just had weird concoctions of sawdust/dye/flavors/chemicals in them to appear like food. It just so sooooo disgusting to read about that, and made me realize that people will do anything to make things cheaply and make a profit.

That's exactly what the fake makeup is like....it's just a bunch of crap thrown together to trick people, and lord knows what is in there!

To willingly give those products to people, and then chastise them for being "superficial" is absolutely irresponsible and ridiculous.

It's not superficial to be an educated consumer, and to not look out for others is wrong.

 someone who owns a business should make it a point to educate themselves as much as possible so that they can in turn protect their customer base from harm.

Any business that refuses to do so, or who makes fun of people who choose to, is not anyone whom I would ever do business with.

Also, not to be rude here, but most people I know who have had cancer/know someone who has had cancer, make it a point to be as careful as possible about what chemicals they put into their bodies.

To peddle cosmetics that most likely have carcinogens and lead in them also seems to just not jive with that to me.

I'm annoyed enough with that idiot to have a response, but I don't feel like posting on the Facebook page.  If anyone wants to steal this and post it, don't bother considering it "stealing" because I'm freely putting it out there for anyone to claim as their own:

True, quality is important -- but that's pretty much THE ENTIRE POINT here.  If something is counterfeit, there's no way of guaranteeing the quality.  If Shady Supplier is lying about the brand, what in the world makes you think they're definitely not lying about the ingredients?  The label doesn't matter to me (see my quickly-growing essence collection, not to mention Starlooks, a relatively unknown brand with pretty much no name recognition but *extremely* solid products) but quality is, and that's why authenticity is crucial in makeup:  It's an assurance that something isn't going to, say, BLIND YOU WITH CHEMICALS IN YOUR EYES WHEN YOUR EYESHADOW MIGRATES.  Also, I find it hilarious and somewhat ironic that "superficial" is being thrown out here as a criticism when talking about MAKEUP, which is pretty much ALL ABOUT THE SUPERFICIAL.  Hell, yeah, I'm superficial.  I'm superficial enough to not want to accidentally ruin my skin with unknown and questionable ingredients.

 

[kitnmitns]

What is extra silly about the "it doesn't matter if it is counterfeit" argument is that the individual who posted that does RCB box reviews and (my perception) always seems to emphasize the brands as a selling point. If the brand is immaterial, why mention it, much less emphasize it?

Yup, it was the lovely toylady amanda too, nonetheless. Funny that we're the superficial ones and not the people buying some mystery makeup just because it says "MAC" on it.

 

[MaiteS]

OH, not HER! She is creepy. Hey, what happened to Patricia's VP of marketing?

 

[NikNik455]

Oh geez....now she has super rare auto immune disease. 

 

[MommaB]

She has Sjorgens? That is an auto immume disease that causes dry eyes and dry mouth which ciuld lead into RA and lupus...I have lupus and have never spent a day in the hospital! And sjorgens doesn't cause seizures like she is claiming!

 

[zadidoll]

I'm not going to speculate on her medical condition, if she has one, but Google is a person's friend to look up the symptoms of it. I personally feel that if you run a business then you should leave your personal life just that, personal. It shouldn't be for anyone to speculate or comment on because it's personal but when a person puts that kind of info out that's exactly what happens.

 

[Jamie P]

I completely agree. You shouldn't be bringing your issues into a business, unless say you are raising money for a cause and happen to say "Raising money for diabetes foundation. I myself suffer from this... it's a great cause" bla bla that type of thing. The constant in depth talk of how she is sick with this and that just makes me very uncomfortable. It's so sad because deep down I realize I am watching because I WANT to see her dig herself out. I want to root for the underdog... but she keeps getting worse and worse. It's just sad.

I have lupus and have never spent a day in the hospital either. She's so full of it. I feel sorry for anyone falling for her scam.

 

[nelliebelle1197]

My mom has it. It does not cause seizures. I asked her.

And the new lows keep coming. Keep your personal life out of your business!!!!!! Why is this so hard for this woman?

 

[Jamie P]

I work with someone who is a major hypochondriac. She always has a headache, cold, sore throat, mono, hypoglycemic, bumps and lumps, carpel tunnel, you name it she has it. She actually has a bad anxiety disorder but refuses treatment for that! Ugh. Anyway she came to work a few weeks ago with a new syndrome. She looked it up online and "it explains everything that is wrong with her" and she was going to get diagnosed. When she told me its name I actually LOL because I was diagnosed with the syndrome like, a week earlier and it was NOTHING like what she was saying it was. It's basically a benign condition that causes elevated bilirubin levels. Wow. I should have let her go "get diagnosed".

 

[Hellocat4]

Sounds like someone has munchausen. I wonder if her customers (new ones in particular) are starting to smell a rat. Surely, it has to feel "off" or that something isn't right.
