What should have LC done?
So a commentor told me to “lead by example” and explain what LC should have done and they reminded me that I never posted (in a post) about what I thought Lime Crime should do in response to the controversy. I had written this as a reply to someone but never put it in a post.
“I actually considered what she was going to ask me when she first messaged me and from that I talked it over a little bit with my boyfriend to postulate what was possible to do at this point (a little under a month before the palette’s release and I understood that from a business standpoint, she wasn’t going to withdraw the palette.

I know with MAC with the Rodarte Collection, they decided to not release the products at all and they took a financial hit but I know they’re large enough to absorb the loss. Lime Crime on the otherhand, I knew was not going to be able to do that.
I thought that she might have asked me what she could have done and after giving it some thought I would have liked if she dropped the campaign and apologized, for real. It’s late in the game to completely abandon the product and not cost effective to try to reprint new labels”
I should specify that at the minimum, I would have liked to see the “Don’t let her milky skin, pouty mouth and flushed cheeks fool you; underneath the poised facade, there lies a heart of a tigress…” removed from the campaign along with a rewrite of the description for the Chinadoll look.
