GlitterSniffer Cosmetics Lela R. Warren Unsafe ingredients used for eye makeup, possible unsafe product formulation Dearborn Heights, Michigan
GlitterSniffer Cosmetics is in the middle of a massive recall of several pigments made from 2006-2010. The recalled pigments were made either with soap dyes or other ingredients not approved for use around the eyes. The company also sold nonvegan items that were advertised as vegan, used money raised for TWLOHA/ASPCA/GLAAD charities to fund their recall, knowingly sold a collection marketed for Little Girls which has been recalled as unsafe, and has in the past used unhygienic methods for formulating and packaging. Additionally, the company still refuses to comply with FDA required labeling, has used upwards of 3 different Paypal addresses when their accounts are barred from use, sold trademark infringing products (some of which are now recalled), and has a history of failing to either ship out product or replacing product without notice.
There are still hundreds of people waiting for refunds, and refunds for recalled products have been repeatedly denied based on the whim of the proprietor. The reach of these products is unknown. GS sold on Etsy, their independent site, Artfire, The Spotted Box, and at craft fairs in numerous locations. Complaints have been filed with several government, state, and local agencies, and the charities, the trademark owners, and various media outlets have also been alerted to this issue.

GlitterSniffer Cosmetics releases customer personal identifying information
#2Author of original report
Sat, September 10, 2011
GlitterSniffer Cosmetics owner, Lela Warren, used information obtained through our one business transaction to track down my full name, age, address, and telephone number and post it publicly to her Facebook page on Tuesday, stating that if her demands aren't met she will continue releasing information including my jobs and my living relatives. Her demands are that the GlitterSniffer Complaints blog and Facebook page are taken down. She has used this information previously to email me at my job. She posted today that she has plans to possibly visit relatives in my home state.
I am the author of the blog and original creator of the Facebook page which follows the business practices of GS as well as other concerns for indie cosmetic safety. I am making this information public as it would behoove anyone purchasing from the company to know that while the safety concerns resulting in the December 2010 recall may have been addressed and cleared up, that customer private information could be used for other purposes for which they are not intended.
