"I'm not gonna even tell you how I feel but I am just so embarrassed." Um... Jaclyn.... 😂😂😂 if I'd been previously unfamiliar with Jaclyn Hill that one right there would have shocked me. I will say she used the right word as that was indeed embarrassing 🤦 smh
Is there even any place where you could use them outside of a museum, archive or jewelery/art setting? We had those to touch old shit (as to not transfer sweat etc. to fragile paper) at the archive I worked at, and my art historian dad uses them too, but outside of that?
Regarding her dropping Koze and putting it under the Jaclyn Roxanne umbrella: Why couldn't she just do that from the beginning? Is it some sort of tax loophole to have every single thing under a different business? It just doesn't make any sense to me why she would go through this whole ordeal only to put the products under a different business that she already had
@@MikasRhetoric lol, completely. But it still seems like this was *more* work than it would’ve been if she’d just added a lifestyle section to something that already existed, 🥴
Having multiple LLCs makes it harder for litigation to be filed against the owner of the company. It allows them to protect their assets by spreading them and keeping them separate
@@katlewis2638 oh gotcha! Thank you for clarifying that. Seems like it would still be easier to just do business honestly, haha, but your explanation makes sense
i’ve been wearing/playing with makeup since i was a child and not once have i had fuzzies, glass or metal in any products and i can say confidently that if it ever happened i would get an immediate refund and not a pity party 💀
I wear a lot of sterling silver jewelry but almost all of my pieces were under $20-30, mostly bought from Etsy. Sterling silver will inevitably tarnish eventually, but all of mine have taken months to notice any difference, and I frequently wear them to shower and wash my hands. The fact that Jaclyn not only made the ridiculous claim that hers wouldn't tarnish, but that they tarnished THAT FAST, is wild lmao. It's not even expensive to make silver jewelry that takes a while to tarnish. (also, tip for anyone who wears silver and wants to get rid of tarnish - silver polishing/cleaning cloths work wonders and last for years)
I have a sterling silver ring from walmart that I've had for 10 years. Lol it was $40 and I still get compliments to this day on it so JH is tripping with her prices
I work for a large international jewellery brand and people say all the time that other companies will sell silver that doesn't tarnish and it's always hard to break the news to them that they're probably getting stainless steel jewellery because ALL SILVER NATURALLY TARNISHES but of course the quality still matters and it sounds like Jaclyns quality is not it...
my favorite jaclyn hill trivia is in those morphe palettes there's a shade called mugshot. so that when people look it up on google images, her actual mugshot will be buried. less fun fact - there was also a shade called agent orange 😬
@@MikasRhetoric to quote her own tweet: 'I was 22 years old (I think) and I got pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign & then ended up “getting arrested” for an expired drivers license. I basically had to go to a bail bonds place 10 days later & take a picture & pay $200. But I still feel like a gangsta😂'
Idk if I'm the only one but I love to occasionally rewatch the iconic RawBeautyKristi lipstick review video where she busts out a microscope. That video is a rollercoaster
You’re not the only one! It makes me die every time. I still don’t understand why she recently brought it up again and tried to change the story once again! Girl we saw the evidence 😂😂
Jaclyn Hill keeps talking about wanting to be a business woman but all her business practices have been unethical or inadequate. She wants to be CEO and a creative producer but she doesn't want to put in the work. Like, I don't know anyone else that keeps screwing over their fans and still has their undying loyalty. At this point, I have lost all sympathy for Jaclyn Hill fans. They're asking to be scammed if they keep supporting her when she hasn't even earned back anyone's trust yet.
Thats whats interesting in her, that she REALLY loves the title of CEO and Business owner but what she excels at is the creative director area(for makeup). You can hate her but still admit that she does have an eye for colors thats so rare; that's one criticisms that no one ever have for her launches that all shades are ALWAYS complementary and works so well together and separated. The fact some people (e.g. Samantha Ravendale(?)) still searching for dubes of her lipsticks shades and use some even after the mess because they were THAT good of shades.
@@ashsomething1886I don’t think she has much of a creative eye actually. I think she got popular because she made decent make up tutorials in video format when that wasn’t heavily popularized yet. Before that women used magazine articles and word of mouth.
Really love the whole sunset eyeshadow look. On a serious note, Thankyou for presenting this in a way that someone (me!) who knew zero about her, can still understand anything. Plus, loved the demonstration of the pallet differences. Who knew?!
Mika “I didn’t want people to think I was recommending the readings because I was going to make money off of them” You mean like a university/college lecturer 🙃
omg the only makeup guru i consistently watched was jackie aina! i remember watching the jacklyn hill pallets video after being interested in them and i was like “damn i won’t be buying her stuff then” 😭 glad i made the right choice
I was just getting into makeup and booty gurus at the time when vault collection came out. I remember thinking, "This would be a good investment, I could buy this, and I'd have all the colors, + everyone is praising her first morphe pallet, so this would obviously be the same great formula" then I had some unexpected expenses and ended up not buying it THANK GOD. But I can't imagine how many people got screwed over the same way
I have bought the cheapest of the cheap and very expensive lipsticks before. I've had little pinhole bubbles before but never mold, hairs, inclusions, what appeared to be waxes that weren't properly melted and mixed in, etc.
I get a dose of serotonin every time you say "Anywhoozles". Agreed about the gloves thing. Nitrile gloves are used in medical offices, crime scenes, and even food service, in order to avoid various forms of contamination (like finger prints). Her whole story was super sketchy at the time.
Watching your videos while doing my homework for college makes me feel like we're study buddies and you're giving me tea in an academic way to keep things interesting and I love it.
I can’t believe how little views this has. You deserve so much more!! The research you go into in your videos, and the information you give us is top tier👏🏼 Love these kind of videos breaking it down with all the info about the scams and shady things influencers are doing so we know not to support that kind of behavior 🙌🏼
@Mika’s Rhetoric what I really liked about Sam was how she brought attention to shady affiliate codes etc. Before that, it was not common knowledge like it is now.
👏i’ve👏been👏waiting👏for👏this👏one👏 🔊turn it up🔊 excellent analysis as always Mika! the way you present your points is so refreshing and dives into this topic in a way i haven’t seen before. thank you for everything you do xoxo
when you mentioned the cost of your glasses I had a whole moment because I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I also have a ridiculous astigmatism+ glasses prescription, and my glasses cost 600+ with the bulk of that being lenses because I have to get the funky compact material lenses for my ridiculous prescription. I don't know if yall got costco or if it'd be cheaper for you, but it's funny (sad) that in my experience, I can get my prescription done at costo with no insurance coverage for $160. But if I go anywhere that accepts my insurance, it's $500-600 after insurance??? It's also a bummer that the online glasses shops like Zenni can't/don't do extreme prescriptions like mine, last I checked. All this to say, I hate when I'm due for new glasses and I hate that they're so expensive. Also I hate that optical insurance is garbage.
also happy to learn about Jaclyn's most recent "oopsie" moments from you!! I hadn't seen anyone talking about her for some time and missed a whole lot of stuff it seems!
Thank you for putting this video together! I love Marlena, I am so happy she is able to speak her mind. Most people do not know this but it was Marlena that started getting Influencers paid for their endorsements. Marlena RAN so many others could walk! It would be very cool to do a throw back video about how the makeup RU-vid World started. Marlena played a huge part in the evolution of influencers. (Just a suggestion)
Gang gang thanks for responding to my tweet about your aura sponsership! Excited to not get hacced. also looking forward to watching the rest of the vid
There's Jenny Nicholson's Avatar theme park video, Lisa Fevral's Bratz, and then this in my top 3 favourite cozy long youtube videos that scratch my brain (in no order)
i loved this video!!! i was a die hard jaclyn fan back when i was 18-19 years old in 2014-2015. it was sad seeing who she really is but i’m glad i did! i still have friends who follow her and support her smh.
Literally same!! Same age too. she truly taught me how to do makeup. I haven’t watched her in over 4 years now and it’s so sad because she really did teach me how to do makeup. She just let the money get to her head
@@ashleymiles2350 she taught me too!! it yes she totally let the money go to her head. it’s sad because i remember her distinctly saying she wouldn’t take a sponsorship for a product she didn’t truly love and use herself and then realizing years later that she’s a money hungry snake!! lol
On the topic of glasses I tell literally everyone about zenni optical (not sponsored lmao) and I think they have an option for lenses for astigmatisms and all that now, and their frames are wildly cheap if you ever need new glasses in the future! Last time I bought glasses the frames i got were on sale for $7 and i don't have an astigmatism but with basic prescription lenses they were only $30.
I love how i tried to tanslate "le tréma" in english and my brain went "Umlaut".... aparrently it's called "dieresis" in english and has the same function as in french. The Umlaute in german just change the way a vowel is pronounced
So I’m a college professor here in Texas and one of my students used a clip from one of your videos for a presentation in Intro to Theatre and now I’m hooked lol
25:30 If Jaclyn truly gave a shit about her companies she wouldn’t have constant problems with every one of them. She doesn’t look up to CEOs, she looks up to all of the women she’s ever seen on QVC/HSN.
Sodium hypochlorite and ammonia creates chlorine gas (a green cloud) which was used in WWI. Sulphur mustard is different but also used in WWI. My personal example of unique synergy is c0caine metabolism in the liver in the presence of ethan0l, the normal hydrolysis of the former uses ethan0l instead of a water molecule and creates cocaethylene completely de novo and it’s 50x more cardiotoxic.
I just found you 10 minutes ago and I literally love you already. Subscribed, liked, commenting. Jaclyn Hill is so confusing to me! I just want to tell her to her face, girl… stop lying!!! Also I love your eyeshadow look and you’re so beautiful ❤
whenever people talk about canadian accents or people "sounding really canadian," i kinda just don't hear it at all unless it's like full newfie. but maybe that's just an indication of how canadian i am. i have no concept of how anyone considers "sarry" to be the normal way of saying sorry.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't think anyone outside of North America can tell the difference between a general American accent and a Canadian accent. I'm not North American and the only time I can tell Canadian RU-vidrs I watch are Canadian is actually when they say "saw-ree" instead of "saa-ree" 😂 the only way I can tell irl is because Canadians aren't as loud as Americans when they speak.
@@mortal-enemy sometimes i think i can tell because of some abstract personality trait that's shared by many canadians, but that's probably imaginary since i can't even define what it is and i've been wrong before 😆 some people just act really canadian, idk. haha irl it is true that many canadians say "sorry" more often though, bc we use it as a substitute for other random expressions like "excuse me" or "pardon" (we don't really apologize constantly lmao)
Jaclyn lies about the previous lies she’s told. Or she just ignores it because she wants to move on and forget it. She also lied about owning her brand, which is actually owned by Morphe. She still lies about that, even though the court documents prove she just licensed her name. Edit- don’t ever wear jewelry in the shower. Whether it’s cheap or expensive, jewelry doesn’t like to be worn in water.
Being from Illinois is so weird, I’m sure everyone in every state feels that sometimes but like OF COURSE we’d have a city called MINERAL?? Illinois is so weirdddd 😭
Jaclyn has done a laundry list of horrible things but honestly the thing that burns me the most was her ripping Koze from Kayln basically on a whim and then dropping it as soon as Kalyn had already been forced to upend everything. Absolutely vile.
I'm honestly shocked that Jaclyn has totally gotten away with lying about Jaclyn Cosmetics. She has literally said for YEARS that she is the only investor, she is the only owner, it's a family brand, an indie brand, etc. When in reality Jaclyn owns 0% and has put $0 into, and she is just the face of the brand. I heard the new owners of Morphe and all the morphe brands actually declined jaclyns contract payment amount😂 it would be karma if she got kicked off as the face of the brand 🤷♀️
While moving I have found lipsticks behind cabinets that were over 30 years old and in better condition. I even have a vintage lipstick from the late 50s/early 60s that looks almost new. But I guess that one is because of preservatives that are illegal now.
Someone else probably already said this, but the two dots over a vowel is called an umlaut in English I think. That's the only thing I've heard it referred to as, but that might just be the German word for it.
The fast way she speaks is a huge red flag for my interpersonal relationships. Like she's trying to say so much you can't even keep up. I get easily overestimated and when people talk like this when giving information or directions I cannot keep up. It's like a baby manipulative tactic IMO
I really appreciate your dedication to approaching these internet topics with an academic and analytical lens. Also, as a chemist, I enjoyed your little side rant about contaminants. (I happened to love organic chemistry but then I might hate myself. Lol.)
I LOVE a nice long video that goes in depth and is factual with well spoken opinions!!! Def following you 😊😊😊 also, I work in optometry and decent progressive lenses ALONE start at ATLEAST 360 dollars so yes, glasses are NOT cheap but well worth it to see properly! Love those frames on you! I also recommend a different blue filter on the lens called “prevencia” if Canada has that, it is AMAZING for the computer screen!! I look forward to more of your videos! ❤❤❤
Ive never followed any of the beauty guru stuff. But you best believe if Mika drops an hour plus video im gonna watch regardless because her research is top notch and that personally had me sucked in from day 1
Not me realizing how early I was by trying to read into the comments section and not finding many... I'm excited *edited cause that was not English lol
She's no more "Miss", she got married recently. But I've heard that her new husband has "adopted" some of her shady behaviour. I think Dustin and Nick spoke about it. Just to mention, I love those two! I'm glad you've inserted clips of their videos. They, in their "elevated amazingness", are so hilarious, petty, shady and everything in between, but they do it in such a funny, sweet, casual way. And we share the same resentment towards Jaclyn. Regarding "that woman"...when I just remember how much I liked her in her beginnings... I'm shocked what she has done down the road. She has turned into something so repulsive, unlikeable with her greediness, playing stupid, lying to people's faces and avoiding taking any responsibility for her fuck ups (English is not my mother's tongue so I apologise in advance). I know people change. God forbid I am the same as I was 10, 20 years ago. That would mean I haven't learnt anything from and through life. We evolve as humans. We do not decline, morally. And Jaclyn has done precisely that. She is someone ethically and morally obscene/abhorrent. I don't trust her with the most inessential things. If she would tell me "good morning", I'd have to look through the window to see if it's night or daytime. I know I'm going to extremes, but it's just a way to paint a picture. Your analysis is amazing and perfectly on point. I always enjoy your topics and the way you dissect everything. Keep it up and I wish that this idiotic YT algorithm would do you justice and show at least one or two videos to a broader audience. I guarantee you'd gain so much more subscribers...but person firstly have to see your video! 🤬 I'm so pissed by YT's business conduction. They rarely give a chance to smaller creators. Remember that you are appreciated and we'd like to see your channel grow. Love from Croatia
The downfall of jaclyn hill hurts more after all the years she taught me how to do my makeup. I stopped following her after the code scandal. It’s been all downhill since then
As someone who knows 0 about makeup or makeup community drama (besides Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson of course), thank you for taking so much time to show the different lipsticks and the analysis of it. From~ an Enby who loves being included in any "ladies and gents" takes
I’m sorry but my Shein jewelry I’ve had for a year is still shiny, still looks gold, and hasn’t turned my skin green. Like she’s a multi millionaire she can afford to make high quality jewelry made out of sterling silver or 14k gold, like she’s got no excuses to make the same shit you can get on Alliexpress or Shein. My second thing that boils my blood is I HATE the fact that she is STILL demonizing Jon! That shit she was saying about her username and how she wanted it to be Jaclyn Roxanne but JON was the one (and she said it in a very degrading and almost controlling way) who made her change it to Jaclyn Hill, aka she made it seem like he wanted to force her to put his last name on her stuff and have her “always have ties to him”. I hate that shit so much, every since Jon has passed away she has done nothing but belittle and shit on and blame him for his death (as well as that bullshit with Dustin, Nick, and Rich) that’s disgusting and she is just the most hideous which I have ever seen because of her slimy, gross, personality and if you still support this woman you better stop saying you support women, the lgbtq+ community, and you hate capitalism because that is all Jaclyn stands for.
@@MikasRhetoric I’ll never understand how her and Jeffree star look like caricatures of actual movie villains and somehow are successful, mind baffling to watch someone who looks like cruella deville and the evil stepmother from Snow White mixed together pathologically lie about aliexpress earrings and know that they have die hard fans
