I don't know how people continued to support her after that. An oops in production is fine, but the fanfare and show she put on was so stupid and she NEVER took accountability for it. "White fuzzy gloves" comes to mind.
I think you nailed it when you said she is lazy. She is very lazy. She does not have a creative bone in her body. She rips off other people’s ideas as her own and doesn’t think anyone will notice and then when she gets called out she cries that everyone is “mean” to her. She has been given a lot in her career and is very ungrateful. Until the people who stan her stop buying her stuff and it hits her pocketbook she is not going to change at all.
Right? I can't stand how people are still commenting on her content, keeping her makeup products around and KEEP TALKING about her. Just let her fade out - please lol and with that being said, I will go back to forgetting about her.
Not only is she lazy but she possesses narcissistic tendencies, if she doesn’t have the whole diagnosis all together. She isn’t able to take any responsibility for her actions, she isn’t even capable of seeing her wrong doings towards people, and all she cares about is material items like money and “things.” Obviously I don’t know Jaclyn’s life and how the people around her talk to her, but I’m sure they’re “people who support her”
Because for a long time people still assumed that youtubers would be honest about sponsorships, and some are of course. But when so many of the beauty community fell at Manny MUA's feet for posted an "unfiltered" before selfie that showed *gasp* some skin texture, they could never, wow this was so brave. Like ok say you've never shown the true results of any of the products then. People don't realise that watching these channels is basically the same as walking up to a make up counter, you'd expect the salesperson to well exaggerate a bit at least. I know when I sold mobile phones, whatever the customer was asking for, I'd praise it, tell them the specs etc, even apple products which I dislike. However people go into those interactions expecting that, expecting the sales pitch. A lot of youtubers deliberately build that parasocial relationship so you trust even their sponsored content no matter what
Yeah.. I think this tends to happen when young people make too much money too quickly without a strong moral compass and she doesn't have people around her to hold her accountable.. it's really sad because the truth ALWAYS comes out...
That’s the thing with Jaclyn. Most of her scandals wouldn’t be a big deal if she just didn’t lie about it. But I think it’s obvious by now that she’s incapable of telling the truth if it means possibly losing some sales. Edit: Except the koze thing… that’s just outright mean
@@IsabellaLanter i never cared for her, however I felt really bad for her with lipstick gate. then she pulled the jewelry stunt and i was disappointed again.
I used to really love Jaclyn's content and didn't want to believe that she was as manipulative and unethical as everyone was saying, but now it's literally gotten so impossible to not see and it's just really unfortunate
I think she was a heroin addict too. Im not hating on her fir that but as a former H addict myself I saw the signs. Also she was dating a heroin addict for a very long time. Addicts tend to date other addicts. *shrugs*.
As someone who owns my own company (employees - me lol), the fact that Jaclyn claimed she "couldn't find any company using that name" when she searched is...complete BS. I chose something specifically original for my company name, and when I search for it? Everything that comes up is me. :D That Jaclyn made a video with a ribbon saying Koze with (TM) next to it - she posted that with what I think is showing intention of filing. For her jewelry, she actually just got called out very recently for doing a bad knock off of a necklace that is very popular with makeup/beauty content creators, including Jaclyn herself (I forget the name of the woman who designed and owns the brand).
What’s interesting about her not admitting she didn’t own her company is that she ended up in a catch 22: if she told people she didn’t own the company it could drive away customers who were there specifically for her, but it also could have saved her some grief for the choices this company made
Jaclyn blocked me on Twitter, after I made a simple comment with my opinion. I stated that I believed the lipsticks were having so many issues because they were old. She had talked about having a ton of lipsticks produced and said they sat in a warehouse and she kept pushing back the launch date. Then said she ended up having them all reproduced for the launch we all saw. I don’t believe that. I don’t believe she trashed hundreds of thousands of lipsticks and had them all remade, throwing all that money in the trash. I guess I struck a nerve. Her blocking me, confirmed my suspicions about the lipsticks being old. Not to mention, all the issues they had…screamed they were old and expired. In my opinion.
Here for the Tea 😢 I remember when her and Tea Spill were making a series on Jaclyn and it never went past the first episode. Apparently she reached out and got it stopped.
I remember that!! According to Here for the tea, it was alleged that JH was having serious mental issues. But it also alleged that it was just an excuse to keep from the series to continue.
In Canada if you are incorporated, your business name is trademarked within Canada. Kailyn is Canadian so I assume she didn't trademark it in the US because she is located in Canada.
1. Getting a trade mark in Canada is not as easy as the USA. 2. Trade marks don't really help you that much. I work in class action and we see lawsuits of people breaking trade marks ALL THE TIME and if the person who filed the trade mark is a smaller company the bigger company will just keep filing extensions and appeals until the smaller company can't afford to keep fighting and has to withdraw.
Jaclyn always came off as disingenuous, performative and manipulative to me. It’s so disappointing to see a grown woman behave like this, especially with the level of influence she has.
how did she become so successful? Her personality is obnoxious. The way she calls her subscribers "you bitches" And lifts that leg up and twerks! Her home is decorated like a nail salon. I have watched a few videos of hers because she is such an enigma.
i've been watching another youtuber who does makeup cover the whole forma bankruptcy suit and the funniest thing ever was when it was revealed JH doesn't even own her brand, as much as she continues to claim it's a "family owned business" and that she's in charge of everything. she's a collaborator and makes 15% royalties (under the old contract) and just recently the new owners REJECTED that contract, so going forward they'll probably restructure it so she makes even less.
All of her jewelry is cheap knockoffs from other designers. I personally asked the company what their jewelry is made of, and most (if not all) is Rhodium. Not even silver or gold plated. I’m not paying $100 for Rhodium jewelry. People have said their skin turned green. Absolutely not.
I will say, trademarking is not cheap. If you sell different types of products under a trademark, you need to pay a fee per category of material. On top of lawyer fees to help file the trademark, you can easily go into the thousands. So the comment of, "why didn't they get the trademark first" overlooks the whole process, timing, and the finances it can take that a small business owner probably can't afford. Especially depending on your margins, and cost of living, there's barely any money left for this, and some small business owners just operate at a loss.
This! Especially when I think the other smaller creator lives in Canada (I may be wrong though) which makes the trademarking process even more challenging.
It’s so funny now looking back at Jaclyn’s blatant lies during lipstick gate knowing that Jaclyn literally has nothing to do with Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics 😂
I grew up watching Jaclyn she got me into MAC,Make up Geek,Sigma, Becca, Morphe when they use to sell single pans. This was teenage me. Hindsight is always 20/20, but back then her USP was being relatable and ‘I came from nothing’ but in my early 20’s I clocked that sis was just a marketing personality and when she became rich she became complacent, she lost me coz her personality was ‘I have money now so I owe you nothing’ (not as fans more as customers) so i stopped watching and when i noticed each time she was ‘back’ she would do life update ‘woe is me’ ‘life is so hard but Here is my new new lipstick’. I’m surprised there’s people out there who still ride for Jaclyn because she is the poster child for problematic. I hope she doesn’t wake up one day all alone because she does know how to throw people under the bus and burn bridges for a paycheque.
I’m still upset at what she did to Jon when he got out of rehab and I’m heartbroken that he is gone & what she has done to him. Her posts about her relationship with Jordan are very different know and I’m sure it hurt him deeply to see those I just feel he would still be here if when he came back from rehab and she didn’t just leave. Posting all that engagement stuff must of really put a toll on him. He loved her more then anything! So sad he was alone in the end. May he rest in peace. Sorry I just needed to comment on this.
@@Shadowluv2 don’t apologize for speaking the truth. The insidious ways she was kicking Jon while he was down was absolutely abhorrent. I lost all respect for her during that time period and we’ll truly never know if that’s what pushed him past the point of no return. So ridiculously sad
@@Shadowluv2 OMG I didn’t know Jon died, after I found out who Jordan was i just stopped checking for her and her news as I found the whole situation distasteful . Oh dear RIP Jon💔
Yano who got the ‘influencer brand’ right? Cristine Rotenberg, aka Simply Nailogical aka HOLO TACO 💿🌮!!! Her only ‘scandal’ I can remember from her brand was the dead petals/crimson void ‘controversy’ where people thought the two nail colors were identical basically. The way she handled it was amazing. Color is subjective after all! We all see them differently! (For the record, my shades of those polishes are certainly similar but not identical to me!) The quality, the creativity, the transparency, the customer service reps omg everything about this company is everything a company should aspire to be. An actual, honest to goodness icon that lady is❤
I'm honestly glad I wasn't a fan of Jaclyn in her earlier years, back when her worst scandal was being a "Morphe Babe" and not disclosing she profited from her code. It's a whole new level of disappointment when you have essentially a front row seat to someone succumbing to greed. She really did seem like a cute fun person, once upon a time. That Jaclyn seems to be long gone.
Some people don’t deserve all their success. To rip off the people that have made you successful is absolutely disgusting. Shame on her. I don’t know why she has gotten so many chances.
Anyone in the "Beauty community" opens their mouth they're lying for attention. Smokey Glow breaking the sound barrier back to youtube when Jeffrey Starr sent her an email that he was causing fake drama again was the best though. After all she stomped off because people were telling her that endlessly making the same video acting like a bunch of silly children pretending to fight each other in a pr stunt was the most important event in history was just pointless.
2 things: #1- I don't think lying about being the CEO of a company when you don't even have a stake in the business is a 'white lie' #2- other creators have proven that she jacked her jewelry designs from other sites so whatever necklace you are looking at, you can absolutely order it somewhere else because her designs are stolen
I remember she made the eyeshadow palettes with Becca. It was like 5 different ones and so many people complained about the quality. The shadows were chalky and not pigmented. For the price they weren't worth it. And she turned around and blamed Becca for it all despite bragging about being in the lab creating them. And what did Becca do? Allowed her to throw them under the bus. She made it seem that Becca deceived her and gave her a really good sample palette.
I'm waiting for someone to debunk the lie that she took the eyeshadow out of the packaged palette and repressed it. Somebody has to know something. That lie was just over the top.
You’re a real OG if you watched Jaclyn Hill from the time she had a collab with Gerard Cosmetics and she had a lipstick called 1995 And it was a nudish brown taupe color. She said it was buttery and creamy. I bought it and it was shiitt lipstick. I knew from there to never buy anything she has said… but she has great makeup skills.
i wish someone would look into jaclyn's christian non-profit. her estranged father was a preacher accused of evading taxes. she got super mad when creepshow art made a video about him when all the information is out in the public
Another jewelery place that has similar styles is Alexa Kelly, I know some people have accused her of ripping off the brand but I think the styles may be too basic to tell for sure🤷♀️
it's not ripping off. These big companies buy jewelry in bulk from China and sell it to people so they can put their names on it. All JH had to do was pick the stuff she wanted to purchase and slap her name on it.
Aw I feel the same way you do about that necklace, but about the bandeau from Skims 😅 I don’t want to support the brand, but literally no other brand has a dupe for that, I tried them all 😭
Honestly I was very ready to buy something from Koze before I knew it was going to be called koze, but what she did to Kayln was my last straw with jaclyn. She had koze for years and there’s no doubt in my mind that jaclyn knew about it. I really believed for a long time that jaclyn was a good person who just made a few mistakes and I use to LOVE her but she has truly became the most money hungry woman and will step on anyones toes to further her financial wealth.
Im glad you covered the formulation differences from the early pallets. I was in the minority when I complained about the quality, color depth and crazy fallout. Jaclyn is why I lost interest in Morphe years ago. And don't get me started on "her" brush shedding. Just awful!
Apparently, Jacqueline ripped off a few jewelry designs from other jewelry brands. Especially one that she interview other creators have worn from. I am afraid that she will rip off one of my favorite jewelry makers as well that I fell in love with back in November.
It’s such a shame because Jaclyn is a very talented artist and LOVED her make up tutorials. She is an excellent teacher on makeup techniques but the abundance of shadiness just ruins her reputation.
I ordered some earrings from her jewelry line and when I got the products I was disappointed to find it was made in China. That’s should be disclosed. I ended up returning everything and they made me pay for return shipping. Not a good business practice.
JH bought that jewelry from another company that buys that stuff in bulk and people like JH just pick what they want to sell and put their name on it. She didn't steal designs. She didn't design at all.
Jaclyn’s issues even dated further back during the becca highlighters. Blowing off makeup geek, it’s ridiculous. I was a ride or die Jaclyn fan, that came to a screeching halt in 2019. Enough was enough.
I never got why she was that rich, her lipsticks had such a strong competition with well known brands that were way cheaper. Elf, wet and wild, essence, loreal, revlon, maybelline, they all have really nice and cheap products, it never made sense to me how she could even compete with her pricey and average/bad products. It doesnt make sense. Make it make sense.
she has generational wealth and her father was some kind of pastor. it's actually pretty shady. everything in FL is public record so it's not difficult to find but her mishandling of crises and being unwilling to hear the truth, and unwilling to take responsibility, overshadows that side of things i think.
People need to understand that not everyone is meant to be a business owner. Jaclyn is a wonderful person and historically has created great content that people love to watch. But she should NEVER have started a business, let alone all these other random businesses. There is absolutely NO shame in not creating and being a business owner. Please stick to your strong suits and defer to experts. This is what will bring you success without all the scandals.
I just wanted to point out that she really is borrowing from the Karjenner playbook. Stealing designs and branding, blaming others for your mistakes and jacking original intellectual property from smaller creators who haven't moved to get their idea copyrighted before some shady And unethical corporate entity pulls it out from under you! But we should all know by now that the super rich get that way by stabbing people in the and keeping it moving! Just like the Karjenners, she is probably telling anyone she can how the low quality was the manufacturer's fault and she didn't break any laws because the other Cozy creators hadn't copy righted their branding and designs. They think it's just smart business to steal ideas where possible. They really don't care about ethics because they know that enough horrible people exist that the Jacklyn Hill brand won't suffer more then her brand will gain. People have to make a stand with their $$. The funny part is her still making tons of money trying to get sympathy by claim she's a victim of being cancelled at least 4 times now. By definition, being cancelled means game over for your brand. You don't come back from it 4 times and laugh about it. Ask any truly cancelled individual.
Jaclyns whole entity is a whole thing never bought morphes stuff after few crappy ones in 2016 that weren't these. Her palettes looked pretty but I didn't like the company. Then I heard about the stuff you pointed out and such and I'm like nope hard pass. As a college educationed makeup artist who quit due to things of a bunch in the beauty community I haven't done anything in forever. The beauty community as a whole most of it not all is so problematic. Everything you said here especially in terms of laziness is so correct. This was well-made do more these :) loved it !
My 9 month old daughter LOVES YOU! Everytime I put one of your videos on she gets a big smile and looks at me like "Oohh are we going to watch her today?!"
I will give her this though….champagne pop is one of the best highlighters ever. I still have both her Becca highlight palettes only because they’re great 😌
i feel when you use other creators’ content in your videos, youn should name them and not just say “a content creator said” they’re called rawbeautykristi and jen luv, use their names!!
Jaclyn hill, the way she is today, is just so disheartening. I genuinely enjoyed watching earlier videos and I learned how to do makeup from her. What she's doing to these brands is so heinous and disrespectful. Its hard enough getting a business started but to have a vulture coming in every 5 secs to steal bits and pieces of it😞💔
Loved your video. Something I think you could’ve also discussed here is how Jaclyn stole another creator’s idea for her jewelry line and basically ripped them off too.
I LOVED Jaclyn for years! I found her when she was still doing tutorials in her kitchen. Once she got involved with Morphe I started to lose interest, she seemed to have changed. Now, I’m a girls girl, I love building up other women and would never normally root for the failure of other women but with her, I’m so happy she’s losing her empire!
The problem is .. Jaclyn doesnt own any decision making position at JHC.. she does not own the brand. She isnt CEO and does not get to make decisions like what gets launched and how many shades are launched. She is only lending her likeness and name to a brand and gets paid 15% royalties for it! All of this is now public knowledge through the Morphe & Forma bankruptcy case. Basically JHC is a brand that launches exclusively jaclyn hill collabs. So she has no say in actual business decisions. And by not being transparent about it .. & fine not everyone needs to know the ins and outs of what business arrangements are inside a brand .. but just blatantly lie about it on several ocassions saying things like : “ I AM THE OWNER & CEO OF JHC” while she literally owns not 1% of it .. she has really dug a big hole for herself .. because now she has to take ownership of the shitty business practices Morphe & forma made (who actually own JHC) even lapses that were made on their part are now being attached to Jaclyn because she took ownership of it ! 🤷♀️
I watched Jaclyn when she first started her channel and adored her. Years down the line I have unsubscribed and unfollowed because her content is now inconsistent and average at best, along with her consistent bad behaviour. The last purchase I made was the first large palette with Morphe and then I feel it was all downhill from there. She got a taste of money and decided she was above it all, I also think her mental health is shit and there is definitely an underlying diagnosis that explains her problematic behaviour.
Haven't bought a product of hers since Becca lol. The amount of extra money she could have made if she hadn't turned so many people off by being so shady
I can attribute most of my makeup skills to JH. Her videos from 5 years ago truly sparked my interest in makeup and I was genuinely excited for her success. I started building my makeup collection based on many of her recommendations, which is crazy to think about now. I still have my limited edition holiday launch of the champagne pop trio! I feel like things started to get weird around the time that her first Morphe pallet came out. (Of course she was already being sketchy behind the scenes I’m sure.) I couldn’t wrap my head around why she was recommending crappy products and collaborating with brands that had a reputation for being poor quality. Anyway, it’s just super disappointing. I wish she would take some time away from everything… like a lot of time away. I think she’s too far into her lies and her own ego now though. I gave her the benefit of the doubt for much longer than I should have thought. It’s just really disappointing.
I was such a big fan. Bought 4 of the lipsticks when they came out and ALL FOUR had a very hard piece of something in it. Idk if it was glass, plastic, metal, or what but whatever it was cut my lip it was that sharp
It was weird watching the old Jaclyn video thumbnails in this where she's colorful then the Jaclyn lipstick promo where her house and clothes etc are all black and white being a 90s kid cruella just popped into my head. She has no morals business wise
Almost every makeup brand Jaclyn Hill has collaborated with has had to close down. 🤔 Becca, Makeup Geek, Morphe…..She left her stank on them and they couldn’t recover. So sad. Her own brand now has an uncertain future. Jaclyn Cosmetics (she also stole that name) and KOZE is rumoured to be closing.
With the Koze thing the original creator is from Canada and her legal team let her know that it would take a long time to get the accurate TM for both Canada and the US. [20:51 ]
I think without realizing it, JH’s experience taught you to be wary and thorough with your own merch. I think JH was too trusting considering how new it was for influencers to have brands. I wasn’t on UA-cam during lipstick gate so I’m not a JH fan or hater.
You said you liked Jaclyn’s Jewelry but she also ripped off another company in that endeavor. Melinda Maria jewelry was stuff she used to talk about in her favorites and she has ripped off the exact same designs in her collection. I will literally never give her another dime ever again.
Oh yeah I like the style but I haven’t bought anything from her! I saw how she stole the design it was insanely bad! If there’s a piece Jaclyn has I try and find it somewhere else instead

I've never liked JH but I've never understood why her fans gave her their money over and over and over and over.
Same
@dbaisy6094SAME! In my mind they’re all scammers lol everybody is an expert, has a course/ebook and it’s it’s just exhausting
Right, bad launch after bad launch and she never took responsibility for it.

"strong moral compass" is just what you personally agree with lol. No place for ethics when money's involved
For anyone wondering Kalyn rebranded Koze to “our Sunday spot” and it’s so cute!
Thats so sad
"Our Sunday Spot" is a cozy name so it makes sense! I'm glad she didn't give up on it entirely despite how discouraging this must have been
Damn that sucks. Wish she would've gotten it patented
Jaclyn apparently copied a jewellery piece directly from a piece and designer that she worn for years
Jaclyn: * gets caught lieing *
Jaclyn: * im sorry, let me tell U the truth *
Jaclyn: * Lies again *
There is a word for that it called pathological liar.
*lying*..?
That’s the thing with Jaclyn. Most of her scandals wouldn’t be a big deal if she just didn’t lie about it. But I think it’s obvious by now that she’s incapable of telling the truth if it means possibly losing some sales.
Edit: Except the koze thing… that’s just outright mean

All of her jewelry is cheap knockoffs from other designers. I personally asked the company what their jewelry is made of, and most (if not all) is Rhodium. Not even silver or gold plated. I’m not paying $100 for Rhodium jewelry. People have said their skin turned green. Absolutely not.
THE WAY MARLENA SPOKE THE MF TRUTHHHHHHH 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yaaasssssssss
She has changed so much. And I don’t like how she does not take responsibility for her business wrong doings.
Those cream bronzers were for Jaclyn and all her skin tones between her tans and without.
I will say, trademarking is not cheap. If you sell different types of products under a trademark, you need to pay a fee per category of material. On top of lawyer fees to help file the trademark, you can easily go into the thousands. So the comment of, "why didn't they get the trademark first" overlooks the whole process, timing, and the finances it can take that a small business owner probably can't afford. Especially depending on your margins, and cost of living, there's barely any money left for this, and some small business owners just operate at a loss.
This! Especially when I think the other smaller creator lives in Canada (I may be wrong though) which makes the trademarking process even more challenging.
It’s so funny now looking back at Jaclyn’s blatant lies during lipstick gate knowing that Jaclyn literally has nothing to do with Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics 😂
I grew up watching Jaclyn she got me into MAC,Make up Geek,Sigma, Becca, Morphe when they use to sell single pans. This was teenage me. Hindsight is always 20/20, but back then her USP was being relatable and ‘I came from nothing’ but in my early 20’s I clocked that sis was just a marketing personality and when she became rich she became complacent, she lost me coz her personality was ‘I have money now so I owe you nothing’ (not as fans more as customers) so i stopped watching and when i noticed each time she was ‘back’ she would do life update ‘woe is me’ ‘life is so hard but Here is my new new lipstick’. I’m surprised there’s people out there who still ride for Jaclyn because she is the poster child for problematic. I hope she doesn’t wake up one day all alone because she does know how to throw people under the bus and burn bridges for a paycheque.
I’m still upset at what she did to Jon when he got out of rehab and I’m heartbroken that he is gone & what she has done to him. Her posts about her relationship with Jordan are very different know and I’m sure it hurt him deeply to see those I just feel he would still be here if when he came back from rehab and she didn’t just leave. Posting all that engagement stuff must of really put a toll on him. He loved her more then anything! So sad he was alone in the end. May he rest in peace. Sorry I just needed to comment on this.
@@Shadowluv2 don’t apologize for speaking the truth. The insidious ways she was kicking Jon while he was down was absolutely abhorrent. I lost all respect for her during that time period and we’ll truly never know if that’s what pushed him past the point of no return. So ridiculously sad
@@Shadowluv2 OMG I didn’t know Jon died, after I found out who Jordan was i just stopped checking for her and her news as I found the whole situation distasteful . Oh dear RIP Jon💔
Even though JH has become EXACTLY what she said she would never become, I STILL use the Becca highlighter, I always go back to it 😩
Same. I love it!!
Yano who got the ‘influencer brand’ right? Cristine Rotenberg, aka Simply Nailogical aka HOLO TACO 💿🌮!!!
Her only ‘scandal’ I can remember from her brand was the dead petals/crimson void ‘controversy’ where people thought the two nail colors were identical basically. The way she handled it was amazing. Color is subjective after all! We all see them differently! (For the record, my shades of those polishes are certainly similar but not identical to me!)
The quality, the creativity, the transparency, the customer service reps omg everything about this company is everything a company should aspire to be. An actual, honest to goodness icon that lady is❤
*THIS!*
Christine is the best
she's the queen of transparency and maturity.
I'm honestly glad I wasn't a fan of Jaclyn in her earlier years, back when her worst scandal was being a "Morphe Babe" and not disclosing she profited from her code. It's a whole new level of disappointment when you have essentially a front row seat to someone succumbing to greed. She really did seem like a cute fun person, once upon a time. That Jaclyn seems to be long gone.
Some people don’t deserve all their success. To rip off the people that have made you successful is absolutely disgusting. Shame on her. I don’t know why she has gotten so many chances.
I am so sorry but watching this drama first hand back in the day was SO ENTERTAINING, like i miss this type of mess lmao
Anyone in the "Beauty community" opens their mouth they're lying for attention. Smokey Glow breaking the sound barrier back to youtube when Jeffrey Starr sent her an email that he was causing fake drama again was the best though. After all she stomped off because people were telling her that endlessly making the same video acting like a bunch of silly children pretending to fight each other in a pr stunt was the most important event in history was just pointless.
That is not true, there's so many great beauty creators that aren't lying bitches like jh
Whaaaaaat?! I never heard about that
Where can I find this video 🤤
I missed this😢
Oh wow I didn't even know about this ! Man!
watching this after working a 8 hour shift while eating a burger and fries . peak relaxation
2 things: #1- I don't think lying about being the CEO of a company when you don't even have a stake in the business is a 'white lie'
#2- other creators have proven that she jacked her jewelry designs from other sites so whatever necklace you are looking at, you can absolutely order it somewhere else because her designs are stolen
I remember she made the eyeshadow palettes with Becca. It was like 5 different ones and so many people complained about the quality. The shadows were chalky and not pigmented. For the price they weren't worth it. And she turned around and blamed Becca for it all despite bragging about being in the lab creating them. And what did Becca do? Allowed her to throw them under the bus. She made it seem that Becca deceived her and gave her a really good sample palette.
So wildly… that was the morphe debacle. Becca’s eyeshadow palette issues were a different thing altogether 😵💫
I'm waiting for someone to debunk the lie that she took the eyeshadow out of the packaged palette and repressed it. Somebody has to know something. That lie was just over the top.
This video could’ve been 3 hours long with the list of things Jaclyn has done
You’re a real OG if you watched Jaclyn Hill from the time she had a collab with Gerard Cosmetics and she had a lipstick called 1995 And it was a nudish brown taupe color. She said it was buttery and creamy. I bought it and it was shiitt lipstick. I knew from there to never buy anything she has said… but she has great makeup skills.
hot damn i love marlena's takes. i was really sad to see make up geek go out of business.
Me too! For a long time it was the only eyeshadow I bought.
i wish someone would look into jaclyn's christian non-profit. her estranged father was a preacher accused of evading taxes. she got super mad when creepshow art made a video about him when all the information is out in the public
Another jewelery place that has similar styles is Alexa Kelly, I know some people have accused her of ripping off the brand but I think the styles may be too basic to tell for sure🤷♀️
it's not ripping off. These big companies buy jewelry in bulk from China and sell it to people so they can put their names on it. All JH had to do was pick the stuff she wanted to purchase and slap her name on it.
Great video Isabella but you forgot to mention how she stole the design for one of her necklaces in her jewellery brand from Lana Jewellery.
Aw I feel the same way you do about that necklace, but about the bandeau from Skims 😅 I don’t want to support the brand, but literally no other brand has a dupe for that, I tried them all 😭
Sometimes a person who makes a good product just makes a good product even if you don't like them, and it's worth voting for that with your wallet.
100% agree with your stance on quality control… ordering yourself something as an anonymous customer. You’re thinking like a CEO.
The thing about Jaclyn Roxanne is that people have made her pieces already. She was also accused of stealing other people's designs.
She bought that jewelry from a company that makes the stuff in bulk and you just pick what you want to sell. Made in China in sweat shops.
Honestly I was very ready to buy something from Koze before I knew it was going to be called koze, but what she did to Kayln was my last straw with jaclyn. She had koze for years and there’s no doubt in my mind that jaclyn knew about it. I really believed for a long time that jaclyn was a good person who just made a few mistakes and I use to LOVE her but she has truly became the most money hungry woman and will step on anyones toes to further her financial wealth.
Nothing like waking up from a nap to find this! Yes, Queen! ❤
Im glad you covered the formulation differences from the early pallets. I was in the minority when I complained about the quality, color depth and crazy fallout. Jaclyn is why I lost interest in Morphe years ago. And don't get me started on "her" brush shedding. Just awful!
Apparently, Jacqueline ripped off a few jewelry designs from other jewelry brands. Especially one that she interview other creators have worn from. I am afraid that she will rip off one of my favorite jewelry makers as well that I fell in love with back in November.
It’s such a shame because Jaclyn is a very talented artist and LOVED her make up tutorials. She is an excellent teacher on makeup techniques but the abundance of shadiness just ruins her reputation.
I don’t even know who this woman is but this was so entertaining! You covered the story really well!
It is rumored that the jewelry line is also stolen designs
I ordered some earrings from her jewelry line and when I got the products I was disappointed to find it was made in China. That’s should be disclosed. I ended up returning everything and they made me pay for return shipping. Not a good business practice.
JH bought that jewelry from another company that buys that stuff in bulk and people like JH just pick what they want to sell and put their name on it. She didn't steal designs. She didn't design at all.
Jaclyn’s issues even dated further back during the becca highlighters. Blowing off makeup geek, it’s ridiculous. I was a ride or die Jaclyn fan, that came to a screeching halt in 2019. Enough was enough.
As a WOC. Her formulas were never that great. The shadows came across as chalky, dry and muddy
I never got why she was that rich, her lipsticks had such a strong competition with well known brands that were way cheaper. Elf, wet and wild, essence, loreal, revlon, maybelline, they all have really nice and cheap products, it never made sense to me how she could even compete with her pricey and average/bad products. It doesnt make sense. Make it make sense.
she has generational wealth and her father was some kind of pastor. it's actually pretty shady. everything in FL is public record so it's not difficult to find but her mishandling of crises and being unwilling to hear the truth, and unwilling to take responsibility, overshadows that side of things i think.
I think she truly is delusional and truly believes that she's the owner of her makeup brand. But she's also delusional for more reasons than that.
She’s the type of person that should never go into business alone, she needs to have a business partner who makes all the decisions.
Oh, I am here for this!
Hell yeah angel
YESSSS THANK YOU IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
People need to understand that not everyone is meant to be a business owner. Jaclyn is a wonderful person and historically has created great content that people love to watch. But she should NEVER have started a business, let alone all these other random businesses. There is absolutely NO shame in not creating and being a business owner. Please stick to your strong suits and defer to experts. This is what will bring you success without all the scandals.
Another well done video! I'm over JH
I just wanted to point out that she really is borrowing from the Karjenner playbook. Stealing designs and branding, blaming others for your mistakes and jacking original intellectual property from smaller creators who haven't moved to get their idea copyrighted before some shady And unethical corporate entity pulls it out from under you! But we should all know by now that the super rich get that way by stabbing people in the and keeping it moving! Just like the Karjenners, she is probably telling anyone she can how the low quality was the manufacturer's fault and she didn't break any laws because the other Cozy creators hadn't copy righted their branding and designs. They think it's just smart business to steal ideas where possible. They really don't care about ethics because they know that enough horrible people exist that the Jacklyn Hill brand won't suffer more then her brand will gain. People have to make a stand with their $$. The funny part is her still making tons of money trying to get sympathy by claim she's a victim of being cancelled at least 4 times now. By definition, being cancelled means game over for your brand. You don't come back from it 4 times and laugh about it. Ask any truly cancelled individual.
Jaclyns whole entity is a whole thing never bought morphes stuff after few crappy ones in 2016 that weren't these. Her palettes looked pretty but I didn't like the company. Then I heard about the stuff you pointed out and such and I'm like nope hard pass. As a college educationed makeup artist who quit due to things of a bunch in the beauty community I haven't done anything in forever. The beauty community as a whole most of it not all is so problematic. Everything you said here especially in terms of laziness is so correct. This was well-made do more these :) loved it !
Never bought anything JH ever I’m sooooo Happy I didn’t spend my hard earn my on her and never will , people open your eyes!
My 9 month old daughter LOVES YOU! Everytime I put one of your videos on she gets a big smile and looks at me like "Oohh are we going to watch her today?!"
Love this topic, I'm at the start and very excited! Thanks Isabella ❤
I never liked her, I felt like she was fake. Plus hella caked on the makeup ..
I will give her this though….champagne pop is one of the best highlighters ever. I still have both her Becca highlight palettes only because they’re great 😌
i feel when you use other creators’ content in your videos, youn should name them and not just say “a content creator said” they’re called rawbeautykristi and jen luv, use their names!!
Jaclyn hill, the way she is today, is just so disheartening. I genuinely enjoyed watching earlier videos and I learned how to do makeup from her. What she's doing to these brands is so heinous and disrespectful. Its hard enough getting a business started but to have a vulture coming in every 5 secs to steal bits and pieces of it😞💔
Loved your video. Something I think you could’ve also discussed here is how Jaclyn stole another creator’s idea for her jewelry line and basically ripped them off too.
Here from another deep dive. She seemed so sweet in the beginning of her career. Wild what money and popularity does to people
I LOVED Jaclyn for years! I found her when she was still doing tutorials in her kitchen. Once she got involved with Morphe I started to lose interest, she seemed to have changed. Now, I’m a girls girl, I love building up other women and would never normally root for the failure of other women but with her, I’m so happy she’s losing her empire!
The problem is .. Jaclyn doesnt own any decision making position at JHC.. she does not own the brand. She isnt CEO and does not get to make decisions like what gets launched and how many shades are launched. She is only lending her likeness and name to a brand and gets paid 15% royalties for it! All of this is now public knowledge through the Morphe & Forma bankruptcy case. Basically JHC is a brand that launches exclusively jaclyn hill collabs. So she has no say in actual business decisions.
And by not being transparent about it .. & fine not everyone needs to know the ins and outs of what business arrangements are inside a brand .. but just blatantly lie about it on several ocassions saying things like : “ I AM THE OWNER & CEO OF JHC” while she literally owns not 1% of it .. she has really dug a big hole for herself .. because now she has to take ownership of the shitty business practices Morphe & forma made (who actually own JHC) even lapses that were made on their part are now being attached to Jaclyn because she took ownership of it ! 🤷♀️
I watched Jaclyn when she first started her channel and adored her. Years down the line I have unsubscribed and unfollowed because her content is now inconsistent and average at best, along with her consistent bad behaviour. The last purchase I made was the first large palette with Morphe and then I feel it was all downhill from there. She got a taste of money and decided she was above it all, I also think her mental health is shit and there is definitely an underlying diagnosis that explains her problematic behaviour.
Nobody asked but the song in the beginning is busting it’s Turn It Up - Ankidote
Haven't bought a product of hers since Becca lol. The amount of extra money she could have made if she hadn't turned so many people off by being so shady
Even before the morphe stuff, wasn't there an issue with her Becca collab?
Yes it was the eyeshadow palette. I can’t remember the exact issue but they did pull it from the shelves.
She had an issue with them and with Gerard Cosmetics too before that. The common denominator is always her…
so, when we read about Oprah's favorite things they are paid advertisements?
Yesssssssssssssss thank you!!! I’m here for this 🎉❤
I also saw her products at winners which is the Marshall’s of Canada. Like ALOT
I can attribute most of my makeup skills to JH. Her videos from 5 years ago truly sparked my interest in makeup and I was genuinely excited for her success. I started building my makeup collection based on many of her recommendations, which is crazy to think about now. I still have my limited edition holiday launch of the champagne pop trio! I feel like things started to get weird around the time that her first Morphe pallet came out. (Of course she was already being sketchy behind the scenes I’m sure.) I couldn’t wrap my head around why she was recommending crappy products and collaborating with brands that had a reputation for being poor quality. Anyway, it’s just super disappointing. I wish she would take some time away from everything… like a lot of time away. I think she’s too far into her lies and her own ego now though. I gave her the benefit of the doubt for much longer than I should have thought. It’s just really disappointing.
I was such a big fan. Bought 4 of the lipsticks when they came out and ALL FOUR had a very hard piece of something in it. Idk if it was glass, plastic, metal, or what but whatever it was cut my lip it was that sharp
You should have sued! God only knows what was in those lipsticks!
My lips literally had lines from putting the lipsticks on from the hard balls!
It was weird watching the old Jaclyn video thumbnails in this where she's colorful then the Jaclyn lipstick promo where her house and clothes etc are all black and white being a 90s kid cruella just popped into my head. She has no morals business wise
JH used to be sooooo gorgeous…….
money & fame really did a number on her 😞
Apparently it's really really expensive to trademark things. I've just been over Jaclyn for a while now.
Almost every makeup brand Jaclyn Hill has collaborated with has had to close down. 🤔 Becca, Makeup Geek, Morphe…..She left her stank on them and they couldn’t recover. So sad. Her own brand now has an uncertain future. Jaclyn Cosmetics (she also stole that name) and KOZE is rumoured to be closing.
I really think you should be properly crediting people when you're using their content. Jenluvs and RawBeautyKristi make amazing content.
Hi Isabella, the outfit you chose in this video is really cute!
I love your new angle!
Thank you so much for the Trypophobia warning! I really appreciate it 🙌🏼 love your content
With the Koze thing the original creator is from Canada and her legal team let her know that it would take a long time to get the accurate TM for both Canada and the US. [20:51 ]
I think without realizing it, JH’s experience taught you to be wary and thorough with your own merch. I think JH was too trusting considering how new it was for influencers to have brands. I wasn’t on UA-cam during lipstick gate so I’m not a JH fan or hater.
Trypohopbia warning ends: 9:46
You said you liked Jaclyn’s Jewelry but she also ripped off another company in that endeavor. Melinda Maria jewelry was stuff she used to talk about in her favorites and she has ripped off the exact same designs in her collection.
I will literally never give her another dime ever again.
Oh yeah I like the style but I haven’t bought anything from her! I saw how she stole the design it was insanely bad! If there’s a piece Jaclyn has I try and find it somewhere else instead
One can always tell when Jaclyn is lying. She tends to ramble on super fast.
