After some customers began coming forward sharing curious findings in their lipstick tubes, including one YouTuber who seemingly found metal in her lipstick, Jaclyn uploaded a video on her Instagram Story in late June notifying customers that she would be issuing a refund to everyone who purchased the lipsticks.

At the same time, her mother posted an update for worried fans on her own Instagram.

“I want to thank each and every one of you for your wonderful messages, thoughts and prayers for Jaclyn during this time. As her Mom it has been heartbreaking in so many ways. It was difficult and so very disappointing enough that some of her lipsticks had issues but the onslaught of hate, lies and even betrayal has by far been the worse part…thank you for having faith in her and forgiving her. Please know that Jaclyn needs time but she will be back stronger than ever! She is surrounded by love and support and she will get through this! She will dust herself off, learn from her mistakes and try again. After all…she has a dream to fulfill and as long as I have breath in my body I will always be her cheerleader!” she wrote.
