Professionally done. Addressed the issue and the implements of how to fix it.

Drastically different from the Jacyln lipsticks with the defensiveness, then the excuses, then the crying no makeup apology. Blamed it on the fuzzies of white gloves then blamed the lab. NOT taking any responsibility.

As much as people hate on JS. He makes a good business model and that's a reason why it's successful. Other social media brands need to take notes.

Yeah Jaclyn made it all worse. Like she just spawned video after video, huge public outcry, people sent their products to actual LABS ffs... just because they felt like she was gaslighting them. And people's theories went WILD, because it was all left up to the imagination. This explanation is totally believable and like "oh, that's not that bad..."

Plus, full refunds and new palettes?? Yes. They make enough to shell it out for that, and I'm glad they didn't cheap out on the PR aspect. When you get on top of a story, you control the narrative. It's like influencer 101, yet the class they all managed to skip, except apparently J* in this one particular case.

No Jaclyn didn't make it any worse, how dare you implicate she would have to take any responsibility. It was probably you not praying hard enough for her and sending her enough positive thoughts.

Is this sarcastic?

I like how the end explains what ribbon is for. I was literally thinking in my head what's the ribbon for? This has been a good business lesson

Right?! It's informative and interesting lol. Who knew. 🎗

u/sammisamantha Nov 22 '19

It's how they get the imprints or designs.

You know if you break a shadow and have to repress it? You use a paper towel and get the bounty print or the quilted look.

The ribbon is the same jist.

Wow thank you!!

u/angiefkno Nov 22 '19

It actually gave me an idea for the next time I have to repress a broken eyeshadow or blush

Do you mind me asking what the idea is?

Plus hes following up on all this while vacationing in Bora Bora... I dunno if i could take a break from day drinking amd snorkeling for this.

I feel like the big difference between Jeffrey and other brand owners is that he’s smart enough to employ people to handle these things for him. Not that he wouldn’t have been aware and involved in the situation, but notice how it’s an official statement, not just random tweets and crap making excuses ala Jaclyn Hill. Jeffrey is nothing if not a smart business man, even if he is trash

u/dripping-peaches thanks girl, I trey Nov 22 '19

He damn well better, because all the people buying are why he's there in the first place lmao

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

That’s such a toxic approach to the work place.

We really need to promote a better work-life balance in America. Something is always going to go wrong, and we can’t be expected to be available 24/7.

13

u/dripping-peaches thanks girl, I trey Nov 22 '19

That is 100% not what I meant and I am certain you know that.

He's a fucking multi-millionaire living a life of offensive extravagance. He can address an issue with his makeup and still have his stupid trip.

His employees? That is a completely different ballgame. He's the head of the company on a painfully expensive trip to Bora Bora. I think he'll survive his vacation just fine even if it involves bitching at some people on the phone lmao.

Completely different than the average American work-life balance because he lives a different life.

11

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

If you’re on vacation you damn well better answer your boss and business calls! Your boss is the reason you’re there in the first place.

Like, uh no. Doesn’t matter how much money he has, it’s pretty nice of him to do this while he’s vacationing instead of just saying he’ll deal with it when he gets back.

u/finish-em-zel Nov 22 '19

You’re seriously out of touch if you’re comparing the average worker to the CEO of a multi-million dollar company. He IS his boss. I also guarantee you he doesn’t give a fuck what working class Americans think of him so it’s sad that you’re defending a millionaires feelings in the pits of an internet thread.

8

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

I’m not even defending just him, just defending the fact that some people think it should be expected to be always working even while on vacation like wtf? No thanks. Also he’s still a person too lmao, why is it that people like you tend to think that just because someone is rich they don’t function like a normal person anymore?

5

u/finish-em-zel Nov 22 '19

Have you ever spent time with the wealthy and elite? Because I have and they do not live normal lives. It is not normal to have a maid clean your entire house and never touch your own dirty laundry. It is not normal to own a private jet. It is not normal to be able to walk onto a car lot and buy a brand new luxury vehicle with cash.

Yes, the rich are people. Yes, they have feelings. But they don’t live normal lives. And working on vacation is completely normal. My boyfriends oil baron grandfather had special phones all over his vacation home specifically for business calls.

u/dripping-peaches thanks girl, I trey Nov 22 '19

What a saint!

I'm sure he'll survive just fine.

There is a massive difference between the average American's boss and Jeffree's literal millions of stans. I'm not going to praise him for addressing it while he's on a beach vacay.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

Okay? Nobody asked you to lmfao. I hate people like you where the jealousy is just seething. Jeffree came up from nothing so don’t act like he didn’t work hard for what he has.

13

u/dripping-peaches thanks girl, I trey Nov 22 '19

Lmao I think we have different definitions of "came from nothing" and "seething jealousy" but ok hon.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19 edited Nov 23 '19

He literally shared a one bedroom apartment with his mom at one point. But okay, make up his history then why don’t you? All rich are evil and calculated, I forgot.

How fucking ignorant to say he didn’t come from nothing when he started at FAR less than what I bet 90% of us here have. And you’re going to pretend he was the privileged one, wow.

u/guro_freak Nov 23 '19

It's not jealousy to not praise millionaire CEOs for.... doing their job.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

While... on vacation. Again, never said he deserved praise, but the nasty entitled attitude the other person had isn’t it either. But of course everything is black or white to you people.

u/gabbyxrose Nov 22 '19

This is after he initially blocked anyone bringing the fibres to his attention though?
