In the beauty world, it's not uncommon for a top secret new product to be leaked to the public before the brand can officially announce it. What is uncommon though, is when an insider steals the new product and tries to sell it on the black market, before the company has even announced they're making it yet. And that's exactly what happened to Jeffree Star. Over the weekend, a post showed up in private makeup group on Facebook advertising Jeffree Star Cosmetics Magic Star Concealers for sale. The poster claimed that she got them from a supplier who works at the warehouse that stocks JSC products. Fans were NOT happy and the user has since deactivated her Facebook account due to backlash. Following this drama, Jeffree posted some cryptic tweets seemingly hinting at the concealer leak. He shared that "something insane + violating has happened to my brand recently."

He had previously explained how something "insane + violating has happened to my brand recently," but waited until April Fools' Day had passed because he didn't' want to cause any confusion. Jeffree explains in the video how his unreleased Magic Star concealer was stolen by "black market makeup dealers," as well as large quantities of other products. "[On] the morning of March 15 I uploaded the reveal video for the Blue Blood collection," he said. "That night, at around 1am, one of my stock and shipping facility warehouses was broken into and over $2.5 million of products was stolen from me." Toward the end of the video, Jeffree states that some makeup has been found, however, a large chunk is still missing. Watch the full video, below.<doc-sep>Last week, Jeffree Star took to YouTube to reveal that his shipping warehouse was broken into and $2.5 million in new and unreleased product was stolen. Following the burglary, the stolen Magic Star concealers were put up for sale in a beauty group on Facebook. The poster faced immediate backlash from fans who were angry she posted the goods before Jeffree could even announce them. Now, she's finally speaking out. This content is imported from {embed-name}.

Following the wave of fury from Beauty Twitter, the poster has made a full apology on her now-deactivated Facebook. In it, she talks about the guilt she feels for robbing (figuratively) Jeffree of the chance to announce the product on his terms. "I really do truly love Jeffree Star & his products. [Which is] why when I saw them I was over the moon & wanted them. I figured everyone wanted them too but I was wrong. I didn’t think of the selfish act that would be to him, his team & his brand," she wrote. "I’m so sorry for the post, I’m not sorry because I got caught because frankly I took it down before the show started but I’m sorry I took his moment. I’m sorry you guys saw them before he got to hype them up. I can assure everyone I had ABSOLUTELY no bad intentions. I was selfish & I didn’t consider his or anyone else’s feelings when I posted."

She also shares how she got access to the stolen concealers in the first place. Apparently, it was through another sketchy Facebook post. "I had found a post on Facebook Marketplace of a lady … I contacted her, I asked her if I buy a large amount would she give a discount & asked if they were authentic. She said yes, she gets them for a supplier in the warehouse who sent her PR kits & can send more," she explained. "She had blue blood & many more of his products but the fact she could get something not released was amazing to me." Even though she claims she supports Jeffree Star, the makeup mogul is not planning on forgiving her any time soon. In his tell-all video about the burglary, Jeffree addressed the seller directly, calling her apology "dumb." Click here for more information about the Jeffree Star Cosmetics burglary and theft.

Jeffree Star tweeted on April Fool’s Day that he was spending the night with the FBI tracking down black-market makeup sellers...but he wasn’t joking. He posted a YouTube video today saying someone leaked his Magic Star concealer line and stole $2.5 million in Jeffree Star Cosmetics makeup. 😬 If you were a celebrity with Serious News™, April Fool’s Day would be a bad day to announce it, but c’est la vie in the case of Jeffree Star’s new drama. The Jeffree Star Cosmetics founder started tweeting Monday night about something ~vague~ but serious, saying he was with the FBI “tracking down black-market makeup sellers.” Which, 🤔. It wasn’t a joke though. Today, Jeffree posted a YouTube video explaining that his rendezvous with the actual literal FBI happened because his Magic Star concealer line was stolen and leaked, and someone also swiped $2.5 MILLION worth of his makeup. He explained to his fans that he’d been working on the Magic Star concealer for a full year before it was leaked, calling it all a “nightmare” he’s had to live with for weeks now. “Two weeks ago, the morning of March 15, I uploaded the reveal video for the Blue Blood collection,” he started. “That night, at around 1 a.m., one of my stock and shipping facility warehouses was broken into and more than $2.5 million of product was stolen from me. This is the biggest theft I’ve ever experienced in my entire career. This is the biggest hit as a brand. I’m still shocked about the entire thing.” Over this past weekend, photos of the Magic Star concealer started popping up online, and Jeffree explained that ever since the burglary, he’d been expecting it. Right now, he’s in contact with the FBI, but Jeffree’s also got theories about what went down. “These people were professional. I fully believe it was an inside job. I think that it was someone who temporarily worked there who tipped them off,” he said. “I am so horrified that someone knew [the facility] wasn’t secure enough yet, and they hit us really hard. They came in through the roof. It was a very professional job. It was a team of people. And when you watch footage of this stuff, it is so gut-wrenching to see people just take your shit and put it in a truck and steal something that I’ve been working on for so long. I don’t even know how to explain it." Jeffree said he’s hired a full investigative team to figure out who did this, and there’s already someone in jail related to it all.
