GlitterSniffer Cosmetics: Where Are They Now?

I have published a great many stories since the inception of the blog, most anonymously. There have been a few that for various reasons were published with names. I receive a lot of email with questions about these folks so I wanted to give you all a brief update on where they are all at now.

Lela Warren, Owner and President of GlitterSniffer Cosmetics: Currently incommunicado. I have received reports that she has taken a job outside of the home in the food services industry. It was also confirmed via her personal Facebook (prior to her self imposed lockdown) that she was looking into modeling in the Detroit area and possibly attending makeup artistry school. There has been no word on the future of GlitterSniffer Cosmetics.

Christie Brooks, subject of one of the December Fundraisers: Christie has not received the money for her family from the December Fundraiser and has contacted the Michigan Attorney General to advise them of the issue. Christie still confidently and happily buys Indie cosmetics, especially lip balms, but holds out little hope that she will ever see the revised amount of $114.00 due her.

Vanessa Barfield, creator of GS cosmetic bags: Vanessa has moved her shop from Etsy to Artfire, where she continues to sell unique handcrafted bags, clothing, and accessories. She recently teamed up with another indie MMU seller to offer cosmetic bags on their independent site. Vanessa is still awaiting payment of $448.00 from GlitterSniffer Cosmetics for the bags made for the company and at last update was pursuing the matter through all available means

Christina, received the infamous voicemail from GS proprietor Lela Warren: Christina went on to be interviewed for the Michigan Radio story. It has been documented that Christina did not, as has been claimed, release any personal information about Lela Warren. Christina has opened her own Indie cosmetics company, which specializes in products for sensitive and acne prone skin, such as bronzer, blush, and facial cleanser.

Digital Soaps, creator of the original Mountain Dew scented Nintendo Controller Soap: Digital Soaps is still selling all manner of soaps via Etsy as well as sites such as ThinkGeek. GlitterSniffer Cosmetics has previously denied knowing about the company prior to selling their own Mountain Dew scented soap in the Video Game Collection earlier this year, despite Lela being provided a link to Digital Soaps as early as August of 2010.

Issanna, Former Vice President of GlitterSniffer Cosmetics: Issanna is happily ensconced in California, where she continues to work on her own cosmetics line which launched this weekend. She continues to pursue avenues to recover the $6,000.00 owed her by GlitterSniffer Cosmetics for services rendered, as well as legal issues stemming from the unauthorized access of her personal email.

I want to thank everyone, both named and unnamed, for sharing their stories. I wish you all luck going forward in recovering from your association with GlitterSniffer Cosmetics.
