YouTuber Jaclyn Hill Faces Backlash After Lipstick Launch

Jaclyn Hill is facing backlash.

The 28-year-old YouTuber just launched her own beauty line Jaclyn Cosmetics with a range of 20 lipsticks which nearly all sold out immediately, and she’s already been met with criticism regarding the products.

While some customers complained that the products arrived damaged or broken, others questioned the actual contents of the lipstick.

In a video called “THE TRUTH ABOUT JACLYN HILL COSMETICS LIPSTICKS,” fellow YouTuber RawBeautyKristi used a microscope and found “hairs, beads, and pitting” in the product.

“When i was unboxing and looking at each of the lipsticks, I noticed that what people were saying was true, that there were some issues with the outer appearance of the actual lipstick themselves. Upon further inspection, I noticed fibers, hairs, beads, and pitting in a bunch of the lipsticks. I decided to put them under a microscope to see what everything looked like up close, and I was SHOCKED,” she wrote.

“I KNOW this is FAR too in depth, trust me, I don’t ever want to be the person to go THIS in depth with LIPSTICKS. But because of the amount of complaints that I have seen, and confirming the quality (or lack there of) with my own personal lipsticks, I thought it would be good to just say ‘whatever, lets do this’ and go SUPER nitty gritty into the formula of these.”

“I do NOT think that Jaclyn was aware of the quality of these before them going out, I think that these lipsticks are either OLD OR the lab has ZERO quality control and that they are contaminated (which is what I truly think happened) I really feel like the lab did Jaclyn dirty. I think they released less than poor quality products and now she and her brands reputation are paying the price,” she added.

“If any of you are receiving lipsticks like this…. please know that this is NOT hair! My factory used brand new white gloves to do quality control & they shed all over my product!😡 We switched to rubber gloves 2 days ago & will make sure this never happens again,” Jaclyn said in response to RawBeautyKristi on Twitter.
