The song "Beauty" by Stephanie captures the journey of a person who is facing struggles and has been broken, but discovers that through the pain, they are being shaped, refined and remade into something new and beautiful.

The lines, "Lord You're the Refiner, The Beauty Maker, Your hands move through my heart to mould and shape me," express the belief that God is at work through the suffering, and will continue to refine and shape them into something stronger and more beautiful.

The issue with influencers is that they are ordinary people who, if they were not influencers, would be unlikely to have businesses, or be CEOs, or have any kind of role that requires having business acumen, so when social media catapults them into being business owners they lack the requires skills to do it properly, they have zero business smarts so make absurd decisions or totally lack any kind of moral compass as they are just seeing $$$$. Basically greed is the biggest issue with influencers. It drives all their dumbass decisions.

She even put a video out with her supposedly having a mental melt down to get sympathy saying she had mental illness ( panic disorder, anxiety, etc) to further manipulate followers. She is a flesh eating bacteria. What she did to her husband was beyond cruel & she was mind Fing him for years, RIGHT UP TO HIS END. She lied to him the whole time he was in rehab & then he comes home to find ALL his belongings gone, that he wasn't living there anymore & his FRIEND and his WIFE were TOGETHER.

She doesn’t own the make up brand, that’s why she can’t decide to close it. That brand has always belonged to Morphe (now Forma).
And the only reason she’s saying that she’s closing her brands because she’s no longer excited is because she can’t admit the truth: her brands are no longer selling. She lost her customers’ trust by putting out nothing but overpriced crappy products.

In regard to the food stamp thing and her possibly being poor at one point; I will say that having wealthy parents does not equate to growing up in a wealthy lifestyle. On paper, my family was upper middle class. However, my siblings and I were SEVERELY neglected as children. We were starved, did not have clothing, and suffered a lot of other abuse I won't go into. My parents paid for college (very lucky in privileged in that regard) but I had to work multiple jobs in school for food, rent, and supplies as a full time student, which landed me in hospital due to exhaustion. When I graduated I ended up homeless because my parents simply did not give af about my well being and I had no money or resources. If I were ever to get famous I felt like people would say I was lying if I mentioned I grew up poor because on paper I didn't. Now, do I belive Jaclyn had this experience and is lying? Yes, I do. But mainly because of her demeanor and history of behavior. I just wanted to say that rich parents =/= rich children or adult

That tells me you didn’t care that much about it. If this brand meant everything to her then she would of done what was needed to do to insure her company was protected.

I actually supported Jaclyn after lipstickgate because I believed her BS. The last thing I got from her was at her jewelry launch. I got the solitare necklace, wore it for like 3 hours, didn't get it wet at all, and then months later when I went to go wear it (I really only wear jewelry for special occasions, I have super sensitive skin so I'm just not a jewelry person) I saw that literally every single link in the necklace was rusted. Every last one. But it's really bad on the parts that were around my neck. By the solitare (what would sit on the chest) it's only rusted where the links connect, but around the neck the links are basically fully rusted. I emailed them and they offered to replace it but I told them I didn't want another rusty necklace and they literally never replied. So that was fun.
Tbh I wasn't a huge fan ever, I did have both of her bigger palettes with Morphe and a few items from Jaclyn Cosmetics, which Jaclyn was only ever the face of, but the new owners denied her contract renewal so who knows what's happening there🤷‍♀️ im glad I didn't give her tons of money, but im more annoyed that I ever believed her lies.

Humm I missed that. Probably another lie. So let’s look @ this with common sense…Say she was almost kidnapped, right? Did she fight off the kidnappers? I haven’t seen her claim on this but I’m gonna look into it for I broke my tailbone and have to much time on my hands! If someone gets kidnapped then usually they are gone. How the heck did she escape a kidnapping? It smells fishy. I’ll try to find it thanks for letting us know who didn’t know 😊

I’m not the biggest fan of JH. But in the spirit of playing Devil’s advocate. The whole food stamps things has been a topic for a long time. People seem to think that coming from well off families means that you won’t struggle as an adult. That’s just simply not true. I am someone who personally came from a family who isn’t wealthy but definitely not struggling and have always had the means to provide. I grew up with lots of things and pretty much wanted for nothing. I was on food stamps more than once in my early adult years. There was a time in my life that I would go to work as a hairstylist assistant and pray to make $20 in tips just so I could put gas in my car to make it back home and go to the grocery store to buy a dozen eggs and packs of top ramen. Because that’s all I could afford to eat. Those times sucked.. but I’m also so thankful for them. They taught me so much. And if my family had bailed me out, I wouldn’t have learned those lessons and probably would not appreciate the money I make now.

@Ineverusemychannel

Yea, factor in how young she got married and her ex husbands long term struggle with addiction, and her being on food stamps for a short period is not a crazy stretch.

@mirandabulling6771

I went to the comments to say this!!

@basskitten808.

27w↑2

Exactly. It's not hard to believe she was genuinely on food stamps for awhile being that she was the main bread winner working at MAC and her husband had addiction issues and didn't have a steady job. Also, that partially explains as to why she was so much skinnier back then versus now - it's because she was broke.

Being broke basically kept her skinny. And let's be honest that she probably spent a lot of the money she'd earn at MAC on material items rather than food as she seems like someone who has always prioritized material things.

I am allergic to nickel and that’s usually the component that turns skin green.
Also makes the ‘silver’ tarnish and go black or dark. Marks the neck or fingers and leaves a nasty green-blackish grossness
Nickel content is a very cheap ingredient and there can be 85% nickel and only 3% actual silver!!!

@Sweet_Tooth_Art

It's actually the copper in cheap jewellery that makes your skin green. Most cheap jewellery is nickle plated copper. The thin layer of nickle wares away pretty fast exposing the copper that then reacts with the oil of your skin and goes green as it oxidises.

A lot of phrases I heard from Jaclyn over the years: I’m a CEO, I fired a bunch of people, My team…part of success is being a leader and not a boss. And being a leader means you succeed with your team and you fail with your team. Morale and direction come from the top. If she decides to continue her makeup brand the first thing I would suggest is to understand what it means to be a leader. To instill trust in her team to do what she hired them to do. To understand they are trusted advisers. She also needs to earn trust from her team. Leadership is a very difficult role. And until she understands what being a leader is about, she will not succeed.

I don't think it's fair to suggest her excitement about her previous brands was fake. I think we've all tried a hobby or loved something and eventually the same passion we had for it at the beginning dwindles. I think that's perfectly fine and normal. Sure most of us don't have the funds to make it into a business, but I could think of a dozen people I know right now that would start a business creating something they love if they had the money and ideas for it and they could just as easily decide it's not for them later on.

@Char-Williams

@camiehatfield

You make a fair point. I think that Jaclyn came out with those other brands to fill a void in her life called happiness. I think Stephanie is right that she did look happier in the past. Jaclyn says those were her worst times but you could see that sparkle and she was genuine. It just seems that even though she has been in therapy for a long time concerning some issues, she just isn’t that much of a happy person anymore. I don’t know if it’s because of her lies or all the money and lifestyle she lives but something has been off for a long time with her and she needs to take time and reflect and humble herself. I think her “boss bitch” attitude in the beginning made her fall because of the mindset she put herself into. You can’t just become a CEO and not put yourself into the work and let everything go while you just sit on a throne showering yourself with diamonds and money while telling the people putting money in your pockets basically f you and that’s what I feel like she has done time and time again. She has refused to address a lot of stuff and when she did there were lies. A business should not have this much drama going on period.. I just hope that she has learned from this and will strive in the future

She will be coming out with more of her story next week. Marlena Stell of Makeup Geek has already done so on Kendall Rae's podcast. She also has a recent scandal with Koze for stealing someone else's brand then dumping it. This goes deeper than we know. She's no angel, and no one is perfect, but this woman is calculating and enjoys trampling on other women to get a leg up.

Speaking as someone who's been there, it's hard to get food stamps if you aren't disabled and don't have any dependents (children). I was working full time, had a bunch of medical bills and couldn't afford my necessary prescriptions, all I wanted was reduced insurance and I didn't even qualify for that. And I live in a blue state with a higher income limit cutoff than many others (so easier to get). If you're single it's really hard to get state benefits, but if you're married the income limit changes (both incomes count) and you can be struggling and still not qualify for food stamps or benefits.
If she had food stamps when single she would've had to been working only part time, or even with minimum wage she'd be over the income limit (and I calculated based on 2022 min wage & income limits [for Illinois where it says she grew up], which are higher now than when she applied, meaning it's more lenient now and she still wouldn't qualify). If married, they both would've had to have been working only part time in order to qualify, about 25 hrs a week on min wage each.
Not sure I buy that she was truly on food stamps. I only got them when I was pregnant with my son (income limit drops for pregnant women and parents with minors), and if I'd been married to his father we wouldn't have qualified, even though we were paycheck to paycheck (your rent & bills do not matter). So with Jaclyn in a red state with a lower income cutoff, having no children, not being disabled, and being married, it doesn't seem likely that she qualified for food stamps, even if she applied when single.
