Lime Crime was hacked, here’s what to buy instead to get your pastel fix.

They're stocked on Nasty Gal and at Urban Outfitters. Want a pastel lip color? Chances are, for years, you went to Lime Crime. They've been riddled with controversy over the years regarding claims of makeup repackaging (allegedly sending beauty bloggers cease & desist letters for bringing it up), accusations of racism for their packaging, and more.

The latest issue is credit card fraud. Customers took the brand to task on their Instagram for fraudulent purchases on their statements traced back to their Lime Crime orders. They posted an initial apology on Instagram.

The website is currently down, and they have admitted that customer information has been compromised.
