thirstycersei replied to your post: someone give me a reason to talk about the jaclyn...
could u do like a summary i have no idea where to start but i luv tea
bless u i LOVE spilling shit about people, esp those shown to be absolutely shit beings dakhgdhgkahdhdagsdg BUT
super short tl;dr: jaclyn hill’s lipsticks are very obviously contaminated with hairs, fibers, and even METAL and people are fr getting injured, but jaclyn is a shit person and has yet to recall them and has instead doubled down that her stuff is safe to use despite more evidence cropping up everyday that something is seriously wrong
i get all my beauty guru tea from the subreddit beautyguruchatter in case you want to look at all the links and stuff yourself, so here’s the link to the first megathread about this (theres also multiple youtube videos and stuff but i def do urge you to see for yourself whats going on!)
so long story short, a month ago jaclyn released the launch video of her new brand, jaclyn cosmetics, and its first launch are nude lipsticks. already we have an issue with the launch - people ordering the lipsticks are not getting them on time despite paying twenty (20!!) whole bucks for expedited shipping but like, okay thats not too horrible things happen
very VERY soon after that we get into the meat of the controversy. one girl first posted that as she was using one of her lipsticks, a weird gritty texture was emerging from the lipstick itself. jaclyn shot her down fast as fuck, calling her a liar and saying that the grittiness came from the girl’s own lips. but soon enough, social media (mainly twitter) was EXPLODING with people coming forward with: that same gritty texture issue, saying they got melted lipsticks, finding weird little spheres of SOMETHING (we just dead dont know) embedded in them, finding fibers/LONG hairs also embedded in them, seeing what appears to be black dots on the surface of the lipsticks, fingerprints, dented packaging like. GIRL. it is a L O T
pretty pastel please even made a video where she found metal stuck in the surface of a brand-new lipstick, and explains that people are actually being cut and having severe reactions to jaclyn’s lipsticks (which, reactions to makeup are common as everyone’s skin is different, but combined with all the above it...isn’t looking good lol)
jaclyn made two videos: one on youtube where she explained (see: lied her ass off) that none of this was really her fault! her ingredients are fda approved! the lab did this and the lab did that! dont mind the people in the industry calling me out for lying! these lipsticks wont hurt you! (lul) and another one on instagram where she still tried to explain away all these issues and says shes giving everyone a refund, including tax and shipping
now the really, really big issue with all of this is that jaclyn has yet to recall these nasty as fuck lipsticks and thinks that her “best course of action” is to give everyone a complete refund. i do agree that everyone should get a refund, but she shouldve pulled these shits from the shelves the S E C O N D someone said “im finding white fibers embedded in my lipsticks” instead of trying to double down by saying that her product is safe and that her manufacturer is at fault. for someone like jaclyn (who has had multiple other issues with her past collabs) who claims to be so hands-on and invested in her brand that she’s been working “five years!!” on, it is seriously abhorrent that she continues to allow these to be sold at all when people are literally getting hurt lmfaooooooo
there’s a lot more that i havent covered (like jaclyn’s mom going on the defensive like. two days ago on instagram only to delete her account) but this post is already long as fuck so if u wanna get into the rabbit hole i suggest starting on reddit and twitter, and even some news articles as multiple news sources have covered this at this point
hey, i was wondering if you liked/played overwatch? i noticed you retweeted some OW fanarts and stuff and was wondering! also who is ur faves if you have them
i don’t bc i unfortunately get rly bad motion sickness from FPSes :( however i absorb a lot thru fandom osmosis lol. my favorite is probably genji.........

Tysm for the info! what a mess im reeling at the descriptions of finding some long ass hairs in lipstick hdjfkfgkm
like there are videos of people pulling out long. and i mean like human hair long strands from lipsticks and im SCREAMING
also as a warning, if you do look up videos of the lipsticks and stuff, a lot of them feature holes that formed at the top and if u have any sort of like. trypophobia it WILL fuck you up it looks so horrid ahsdgksahdgkhd

lbr sleepy was popping off i felt really bad for him losing all those engages when he got like 2 kills on his own basically
i felt rly bad too but like.......they were right abt him stepping out too much. with more experience + in future matches he might end up doing a ways better and show up other zens
you are precious and adorable and super duper sweet, and i'm so glad that we both got over our mutual fears and were able to start talking!! i love when we chat, because it's always enjoyable and i always end up smiling and laughing. i know things are rough right now, but soon everything will even out and we'll both have more time to dedicate towards stuff we actually want to do! (until we get sucked into da:i and then we'll both be like zombies.)
thirstycersei answered your post: hey guys i have a critica...
im chinese, and i personally prefer that white people do not dress up like mulan and such
yeah that's the kind of thing i was thinking of. like it's obviously a tick above dressing in one of those tacky packaged costumes since you're dressing as a character that everyone recognizes, not a shitty stereotype of another culture, but it's still white-washy and uncomfortable
