Just as a note, the Mineral Makeup Mutiny was actually started by Kristen Leigh Bell of Aromaleigh. And it was started in part due to a flap with another company that's suspected of repackaging, although in her case it was because said company had, according to her, been lifting descriptions, sell text, and specific product names from Aromaleigh. It appears she's taken down the posts in her blog about this, but Fresco Phyrra also had some run-ins with that company, as detailed here:

She had another post up in which she compared some of this company's colors with some of Aromaleigh's colors and questioned whether they might also be repackaging. However, that post seems to be gone now as well, and between that and the removed Aromaleigh posts, I think the repackaging issue is the one that this company is causing problems over.
(As another note of wanka interest, Aromaleigh's products are great, but Miss K can be a bit of a drama queen. She threw a big fit in her blog last spring when people took issue with her naming a collection "Spring Solstice," although she later took the post down, and she once chewed out a customer for not giving her a "proper" sort of response in regards to a customer-service issue. I have the impression that some of that sort of thing also goes down in the Aromaleigh forums, though I don't read them regularly and you have to be a registered user to get to several of the categories.)
