Beware of powdered up fakes or fake rack pigment powder sellers who are perpetrating and or copying my listings and projects word for word and are un-authentic. This is a simple sign if you pay attention to their work ethics. Many people copy what @MYLuxury1st does and many people are inspired to the point where they at least switch things up, ask me questions; which I am always happy to help... but when someone copies your every waking move; it is not a good sign and or practice.
How can you trust a company who's whole work ethic is to be lazy and copy what others are doing instead of being innovative and creating their own work. And they make is very obvious that they are copying; they are not even ashamed. This is why you must be aware of the people you keep around you. People are so jealous and envious of you that they will hide behind your back and copy you and when you confront them about it; of course they will lie. And this is why you want to keep communication with a liar to a 0. Do not tolerate it. The first sign of a lie; you need to move on and stop dealing or putting up with people who do not appreciate you. Otherwise you will find yourself in a similar situation to me in which I befriended a fake friend and taught the person everything I know and was learning; I am constantly learning; but when I didn't want to share all of what I was doing; because face it; I'm a hard worker and a legit business woman; Does the maker of Apple or Pizza Hut share all of their trademark secrets? No. So I didn't share every single thing with me fake friend and when I did not; she got mad and become more mad, jealous, envious, and so it makes for not such a great relationship and you have to let the person go. Once you let the person go; they are so obsessed with you that they copy your every move; try to talk and work as if they are you and it is pathetic.
I started making soaps and simple cosmetics just for myself and family a few years ago and had lots of supplies left over from projects that did not turn out how I would have liked them so I began selling my items and pigment samples online and I figured people who wanted to test the colorants before buying in bulk would benefit from this and they did and still do.
I don' make a lot of money on this venture because everything is so small and the main point is jut for testing and for people who are interested as I am to just get a feel of what they may want to make or create. But it does allow me to get sandwiches and help feed my family as I am a work at home mom. So this is great for me. I get to stay home with my kiddies and help contribute to not only my family but to my community as well.
I list the pigments in custom or sample sizes such as 1g, 2g, 3g, and 4 gram sample packets. I am not the first to ever sell samples but I am the first to ever sell them in these small increments. These re great for testing in eye shadow making; making your own nail polishes; coloring resins, paints, arts, and crafts, and so much more! I recently even tried making hair dye and had the nerve to test it on my kid... lol. It's fun to make you own items and it's a great project to do with the kiddies and spend time with them.
The thing I hate about my fake friend is that she just copies all of my moves; it's so annoying. From the wording to the pictures; she will set up her whole platform to mimic me and if I talk abut it like I am not; she just takes it as free promotion and offers her items cheaper which she is able for certain unethical reasons... but isn't she inspired to come up with her own things, even once? I don't understand in which I have expressed this to her; out of all the people in the world to copy; why me? I'm just a regular woman who enjoys and loves life and my daily duties. I'm really not that exciting but that's the thing; when you feel like you are regular and unexciting; there are always other people who feel your life is super great and better than theirs so it drives them to do things they would not or may not normally do.
I just don't understand because I have never been that type of person. I prefer to go with the beat of my own drum and not someone else's and I am occasionally inspired by people; I love to be inspired but I take that inspiration and use it to do things to better myself and to make me think harder and work harder.
Moral of my story; I will continue to be me; and to strive to be a better me and no one can do what I do; exactly like me. We were all built to lead different and similar lives and I would not trade mine for anyone elses.
Thanks for reading!
