Aromaleigh drowns under wank
It probably says something about a company when I see them going out of business and my immediate reaction is to make popcorn and look for wank. Some of you might remember Aromaleigh from the last makeup wank. For those of you who don't, they're a small mineral cosmetics company whose founder, Miss K, was known to frequently be involved in wank, including:

-Founded Mineral Makeup Mutiny, a website founded to stop people from just repackaging wholesale minerals at giant markup, shortly after she got caught doing just that and had to discontinue a rather large line of eyeshadow.
-Guilt-tripping epinions reviewers into taking off anything even remotely negative with 4 page emails, at least until they go "fuck you and write a lengthy screed detailing exactly how Aromaleigh sucks
-Responding to random bloggers who say anything negative whatsoever
-Being pissed off very publically because the musical artist she sponsored doesn't give her free stuff back.
-And probably more, but these are just what kept popping up while browsing the wank.

For you see, Aromaleigh is closing, but not before having a several month clearance sale! Why? Well...apparently news was breaking that she might have used non-FDA approved dyes in her eye shadow. Whoops! Especially considering how many people buying mineral makeup chose it because they're afraid of chemicals.

Regardless of the issue at hand, it quickly becomes apparent that both sides are drama queens who have had issues brewing with each other for years. Especially considering the biggest name on the other side is Jenna, the (former?) head of a rival cosmetics company who used to be a major Aromaleigh fan before she broke off to do her own business, and who originally thought it would be a good idea to investigate the whole unsafe dye issue with sockpuppets. On a site where she'd been an active member of for years and when she was directly communicating on a contentious issue with the very owner who knew her IP address. Sadly, the best wank from that seems to have gotten deleted with the Aromaleigh forums.

Miss K's cosmetics are full of unsafety

Jenna closed her business SOLELY so she could focus full time on driving Miss K into closing hers

I am dirtying myself on this sight only to warn all you pure, good people to stay away because this rant site is full of people only looking at the negative side of things

Those pictures of me on your website are copyright infringement now that I hate your guts

What why's Aromaleigh closing?

IT'S NOT A COORDINATED SMEAR. REALLY

Aromaleigh's closing...and she's blaming us?

Yep, it's all the fault of the mean people who kept picking on her for using unsafe ingredients in her cosmetics

Miss K is welcome to post an apology at a site that has spent the last couple months ripping her behavior for the last several years to shreds. Riiiight.

Nonsensical tl;dr is inspiring tl;dr? I can't even tell what side this is on, probably because my eyes keep glazing over

Why are you issuing chargebacks just because it's been 40 days since you've ordered and there's nothing and you know I'm going out of business? Oh, the cruelty of it all

So, does anyone know where I can find a good foundation for pink people now?

ETA: Oh hey, someone was nice enough to screencap Jenna's sockpuppeting. Posting with your sockpuppet to drop dark hints about other cosmetics companies using unsafe dyes on your cosmetics company blog is totally a non-wanky thing to do, right?
