Fans outraged over Jaclyn Hill\u2019s new \u201cmystery box\u201d makeup launch YouTube: Jaclyn Hill \/ Instagram: @trendmood1Beauty guru and YouTuber Jaclyn Hill is coming under fire from critics after selling a makeup \u201cmystery box\u201d \u2014 which is causing some fans to scratch their heads, as she hasn\u2019t released a new product in over a year. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Jaclyn Hill is a relatively divisive name in the influencer makeup space; ever since her massive lipstick scandal in 2019 (during which fans claimed to have found foreign objects and even mold in the lipsticks), she has borne the brunt of internet vitriol with every new project she undertakes. Thus far, Hill\u2019s brand has released two product lines \u2014 a line of lipsticks, and a line of highlighters, which were comparatively well-received by consumers. However, it has been some time since Hill\u2019s own brand \u2014 Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics \u2014 has released anything else, with Hill also coming out with another partnered Morphe palette in between. View this post on Instagram This changed just ahead of Valentine\u2019s Day, with the influencer announcing she\u2019d be selling a makeup \u201cmystery box\u201d full of unspecified products from her brand. Unsurprisingly, this drew some concern from fans and critics alike, who were confused as to the seemingly random decision to release an equally random assortment of products with a \u201cmystery\u201d premise. Hill took to Instagram to explain that she\u2019d initially planned a slew of product launches throughout 2020, but the current global health crisis had thrown a serious monkey wrench into the proceedings. View this post on Instagram Understanding the confusion among her fans, she then revealed a few of the products that would be included in the box, which consisted of highlighters and liquid lipsticks \u2014 a move that drew more than a few negative comments, considering her past lipstick launch. Despite the concern surrounding the launch, Hill\u2019s box managed to sell out in a manner of seconds after officially going live on February 5 at 11 AM PST. Hill stated on Instagram that she was \u201cspeechless and sobbing uncontrollably\u201d over the unexpected success of her mystery makeup box \u2014 but many fans were disappointed that they couldn\u2019t get their hands on a product they\u2019d been excited to snag. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jaclynhill\/status\/1357773500996608000 According to Hill, her brand had \u201cthousands of boxes\u201d in-store, claiming, \u201cI thought it would take a while to sell through.\u201d Luckily, she stated that there\u2019s \u201cstill more to come\u201d from Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics in the future \u2014 but the jury is out as to the products\u2019 quality until buyers receive their makeup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
