There are far better brands and products out there that are vegan, too. I don’t see why one should settle for an inferior product. You should also consider doing further research re: parabens, I’m not sure if you’ve read the full dearth of research available on the subject or the scientific community’s numerous follow-up studies. There are plenty of natural ingredients that are irritating to the skin and are not appropriate for skincare or makeup. Vegan brands may or may not use parabens; they’re two separate characteristics of a product or brand, though you can certainly find a brand that does both – but not all vegan brands use or do not use parabens. I’d love for you to share with us your sources for 1) parabens are known to cause cancer (and what exactly is “the such” that causes cancer); 2) Vegan brands are better for the skin. If you’re going to get making scientific claims, it’s always a good idea to back up your knowledge with sources.

Ummm I know this is an old review, but it still pops up when you search what I find weird is that no one mentions these as being Vegan and instead jumps on to compare them to MAC which is completely non-vegan. The wearability will probably be different just because of that factor alone. I think over all being a vegan line they could actual toute these well with the vegan community also I think overall Vegan brands are better for the skin as they don’t carry parabens or the such which are known to cause cancer. The fact is if you take care of your skin when your young it will look way better when your older. Though I did notice the bleeding on the edges I just wanted to point out the reason may be because of the chemical makeup of the products themselves…again people does no one read about chemicals these days? Ahhh maybe I’m spoiled after working in makeup for so long. *sigh*

I really like the color of Cosmopop. I was wondering if there’s a MAC equivalent?

I loved the light blue one. Where can I get it ? How much does it cost?

Not an every day colour? Says who? I wear blood-colour and sparkly purple colour lipstick (manic panic, of course) all the time, and every friday is black lipstick day.

Here’s something DOE DEERE (owner of Lime Crime) wrote about Christine’s honest and unbiased review:

“Finally, we wanted to discuss a less-than-favorable review we received on Temptala.com. The review gave our Candyfuture opaque lipsticks a C- rating… We don’t agree! Do you? Here is the link so you can see for yourself: http://www.temptalia.com/lime-crime-lipsticks-reviews-photos-swatches

We would like to encourage all of our futurettes who have had good experiences with our company and products to make yourselves heard. Please don’t keep your happy opinions to yourself!

Doe Deere DOES hunt down all that give bad reviews, I’ve read many other horror stories about it. One even involved her attempting to sue the person.
