Fantastic Faces Follow UP Of The Neons

I present to you

on Fantastic Faces and the neons.

After giving a lot of thought to this I have decided that I need to continue publishing on this subject. I am not sure how many posts I will make in the future on Fantastic Faces and the whole neon issue. There are some issues that I have not addressed as of yet and feel I owe it to you to do so.

I want to say that I know that this has to be a very stressful situation for the owner of Fantastic Faces. My hope is that she will take the many resources that have been provided to her and use it to better her company. As stressful as it all may be for Ms. Steph I do not think it warrants the behavior she has shown toward myself and several potential customers, or people trying to help her. I personally have received 2 messages from the owner of Fantastic Faces since I made my post disclosing the ebay supplier. 

While I can understand feeling stressed and upset I am not sure this is the best way to handle the situation. Of course everyone handles their emotions differently. I am just left to think these were sent as some type of intimidation tactic. Which if that's the case I've never been one to back down because of intimidation. Here are a few more examples of the bullying/intimidation that has happened on the fan page of Fantastic Faces.

Here are some examples of replies to messages potential customers have received from the owner of Fantastic Faces.

Here is a concerned person putting the FDA information right at the owners fingertips and her way of handling it.

Notice that someone is pointing out the difference in cosmetic safe and eye safe to her in the comments.
(This happens to be the owner of another cosmetics company)

I would like to add that the owner of Fantastic Faces has since removed most if not all of these posts and comments from her fan page.
Since we are talking about cosmetic safe/eye safe I thought it would be a great time to post pics from 3 different companies labels just in case anyone was wondering about it.

Notice the labels specifically state what each mica is safe for.
Even the labels on bases tell you what it is safe for

Here is an example of a mica label that has a note of not being lip safe.

I would say if a supplier or a cosmetic company refuses to provide you with a list of ingredients it isn't worth buying. Because as you see here reputable suppliers have listed ingredients and where it is safe to use right on the package.

I was hoping that this post would be to let you know that Fantastic Faces had stopped selling the neons and had decided to recall the neons they have already distributed. Sadly that is not the case. As of right now they are still offering these neon soap dyes to their customers.

 Sadly that is not the case.

After posting this on her fan page Friday

and this on her fan page yesterday

Not only is she still selling them to customers, but she is also still offering them as a prize in a contest being held with Skittlezz Stylezz which you can see for yourself by clicking here.

Being that Skittlezz has been witness to all the happenings surrounding the neons not being safe in my opinion makes her just as culpable as Fantastic Faces.

I am happy to tell you that the Ebay seller has taken all neon listings out of their store,

you can click here to find their store. Unfortunately the seller has listed 2 different fluorescent soap micas as eye safe. You can find them by clicking here and also here. Very important also is that TKB has changed their listings for the neon soap dyes to make it so a buyer has to click a box acknowledging that they know it is not cosmetic grade and not to be used in cosmetics. To see these listings click here and search the word neon.

*You may notice at times some of the links on this post as well as my previous posts concerning this company do not work correctly. This only happens when the Fantastic Faces fan page is temporarily disabled by the owner.*
