Sinful Colors, sinful theft and an easy, but possibly meaningless apology

Sinful Colors, which is now owned by Revlon, has stolen pictures from at least two nail bloggers and used them without credit and without recompense in a pamphlet distributed at Walgreens.

Revlon is big enough to know better and to act better, and although I don't have the Sinful collection MamaGlam does, I sure as hell have a lot of Revlon cosmetics, which are liable to get boxed up and mailed back to the company, I'm so ticked off right now.

Edited 07/25/12:

Revlon has apologized on its Facebook page, but since they didn't say anything about recalling the pamphlets or providing recompense to the bloggers, I'm still skeptical.
