You know that gif of the woman from Titantic explaining that it's been 84 years since the ship sank? That's basically how people felt about Jaclyn Hill's cosmetics line, but now, Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics' So Rich nude lipsticks are coming, and they're coming soon.
Hill has been transparent about her desire to create a cosmetics line discussing it on social media and in Q&A videos on her YouTube channel. In the reveal video for her eponymous brand, she reveals that she began the process of meeting with labs all the way back in 2014. Unfortunately, that meeting didn't go so well for Hill. The lab in question never returned her calls after she explained her vision for her future brand. The loss was clearly theirs as Hill is now launching her brand to tons of internet fanfare. Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics hasn't even launched yet, but the brand's Instagram account has nearly half a million followers, and her announcement video is sitting pretty at over 3.1 million views.
Given that Hill's brand is in its infancy (at least publicly), there is a lot for shoppers to remember. Where can you buy the brand? How much is it? Will there be more? Here are the 8 things you need to know about Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics before it launches.
1. Where Can You Buy Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics?
Hill's brand will be sold exclusively on the Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics website. However, fellow YouTubers like Jeffree Star and MannyMUA now have their brands in stores like Morphe and Sephora. Down the road, there could be the possibility that Hill's will be as well.
