As the beauty industry continues to evolve, more and more makeup influencers are releasing their own product lines; from Patrick Starrr\u2019s \u2018One Size\u2019 line to James Charles\u2019 famous Morphe palette, there\u2019s no shortage of products for fans to get their hands on these days. Nikita Dragun is one of these influencers. The YouTuber unveiled her very own beauty line, Dragun Beauty, a little over two years ago \u2014 but one influencer on her PR list has sparked drama surrounding her \u2018Forever Fantasy\u2019 setting spray. On January 12, YouTuber \u2018cohlsworld\u2019 uploaded a video that appeared to show dark flakes floating around in the purple bottle of setting spray, claiming that it \u201clegit looks like mold.\u201d Dragun spoke out on the claim in a series of videos posted to her Instagram stories, stating that a \u201csmall batch\u201d of her setting spray that had been sent out in PR packages had \u201ccrystallized ever so slightly.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s completely fine,\u201d Dragun said. \u201cThese things happen. We are a vegan and cruelty-free brand. Mistakes happen!\u201d However, the outrage around the incident isn\u2019t limited to the potential mold in the spray; rather, it\u2019s Dragun\u2019s reaction to the influencer who uploaded the video, with Dragun saying, \u201cAnyone will do anything to try to get a view these days, even though they\u2019re still irrelevant.\u201d Nikita Dragun said a small batch of the setting spray malfunctioned and crystalized. She said she sent an email to her PR list offering to replace the setting sprays. She then shaded the influencer who called her out again saying people will do anything for views these days. pic.twitter.com\/cphiHeGbcS \u2014 Def Noodles (@defnoodles) January 19, 2021 \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to be a female entrepreneur of a small business,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut I guess it comes with the territory.\u201d Dragun also uploaded a captioned photo to her stories thanking her critics and stating that she loves criticism \u201cbecause I want to learn and grow.\u201d \u201cHowever, those individuals who intentionally go out of their way to try to be dramatic and rude to get views\u2026 like you couldn\u2019t even see the email because you\u2019re not on the PR list. That\u2019s not how you gain success boo boo.\u201d It looks like fans and critics are divided regarding her response to the matter, with many comparing this latest incident to Jaclyn Hill\u2019s infamous lipstick fiasco of 2019. For now, it doesn\u2019t look like Nikita is bothered \u2014 after all, this wouldn\u2019t be the first time she\u2019s been harangued by commenters in the past few months, by far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikita Dragun calls out influencer who claims her setting spray was moldy YouTube: cohlsworld, Nikita DragunYouTube star and beauty guru Nikita Dragun is coming under fire after seeming to throw shade at a fellow influencer who complained that Nikita\u2019s line of setting sprays were moldy.
