Buyer Beware

 I happened to notice the other day that Lela from Glittersniffer has reopened . I have to tell you and everyone else NOT TO BUY FROM HER!!! She is a scam artist who has stolen thousands of dollars from hundreds of customers and she has admitted to using unsafe ingredients in her cosmetics. Her company went under in the Fall/Winter of 2010 and even though she was investigated by the FDA and still has multiple paypal claims against her she continues to randomly pop up and try to reopen her store. I hate seeing people get scammed out of their hard earned money but I hate even more the fact that people can ( and were) be harmed by her products. Below are some links to  posts regarding Glittersniffer if you wish to see the proof and more details for the cluster $%^& that is Glittersniffer.

 Ana from Lipstick and Lightsabers has a great in depth post here.
 Here is the whole debacle from start to almost finish.
This is an active facebook page of people who have been scammed by Lela.
My short post regarding Glittersniffer


 Thanks for reading,

Glittersniffer Cosmetics...my 2 cents

I debated on writing this for quite some time, 

but Anastasia at Lipstick and Lightsabers pretty much summed it all up!

Most of you who have known me for a bit know that I was an AVID supporter and user of GS.

I personally never had huge issues with the company like so many others have. 

I always got my orders in a timely manner, they were usually correct and I liked the quality of the pigments.

I will say that some of the GS collections I bought from others were HORRIBLE. 

Very grainy and some were translucent. None were consitent with the colors Lela swatched for the collections.

Last month I decided to stop publicly supporting GS and to stop buying pigments from her.

The amount of information that was coming out regarding unsafe pigments,

lies and theivery was too much for me.

I did not/do not  want any of my friends, family or random people buyiung GS

because of me, my pictures or this blog.

I promptly removed all mention of GS from my blog and kindly emailed Lela to tell her I couldn't support GS anymore. I expected some sort of issue after that but none came. 

There is a wealth of information out there regarding Glittersniffer and I hope if you are considering purchasing from them you read it all first. I know it may seem like people are just on a mission to ruin Lela and GS but I assure you that isnt the case. I was in that place before and I really thought that everyone complaining was nuts. After reading, reading and reading some more the proof is there.

I did not want to believe it because I truly loved GS, the pigments and the fanpage.

As lame as that sounds, I did.

Here are some very helpful links:

I have bought from several "Indie" pigment makers and have been pleased but at this point I really can't say I recommend any company. I feel like at any moment the floor can fall out and we will find out that they have issues just like GS.

Just research before you buy, Google is your friend!!!
