Are these starting to look familiar to you? Everywhere you look?
You can bet that when you see this very same rainbow of shades, on multiple sites- that these are, quite simply… most likely straight repackaged pigment. If they’re not straight, then something has been added to extend them, while still preserving their same exact hue.
You can get the entire collection of straight pigments, HERE... at wholesale cost, for a $20 minimum.
Why are companies so daft as to think that consumers aren’t savvy enough to realize that you’ll figure out that you’re getting duped? Because, honestly- they think you’re stupid. And *I* know you’re not!
They don’t understand the power of the internet, or a tweet or facebook post. Or a makeup forum. They think that they can make a quick buck passing off these “rainbow stacks” as their own amazing creation when really… all they did was stick it in a jar.
And that’s *fine*… as long as you know that you’re paying for a repackaged pigment and as long as ou aren’t being snowed into thinking that you’re getting some amazing, new product. Then, it’s totally not acceptable.
What do YOU think?
Isn’t it a little too much of a coincedence that ALL of these colors look exactly the same? And the same rainbow of shades, within context?
If you see the Skittles Gumball Candy Stacker rainbow at a mineral makeup website, ASK. See what kind of response you get.
These certainly are gorgeous bright colors… but they’ve become so commonplace (Etsy alone gave me about 100 different hits!) that it’s truly a shame.
Why don’t companies blend them together, make beautiful new shades, add texture, interference, matte, sparkle, glimmer, glam? Why can’t they put a little bit of effort into it?
Ask any mineral makeup company owner that DOES make their own creative product and they’ll tell you the straight truth. This kind of evidence just plain tees them off.
Me included.
Until next time, over the rainbow….
Getting tired of seeing these colors everywhere???
The same exact colors?
Me too.
