You know what they say: The bigger the hype, the bigger the let down. Here are 12 times we were all let down by brands this year: And they were right — after multiple damning reviews across the beauty community, the brush sets failed to sell out, unlike most of Jenner’s other launches. But once the collection’s anchor — a neutral eye shadow palette not too different from Too Faced’s others — was revealed, buyers were already moving on. First, the shade Kardashian named “deep dark” was insultingly light for deep-complected customers. Second, each sticks only provided .032 ounces of product, which customers considered an absolute sham for $48. At the time of its reveal, fans instantly swarmed Von D’s Instagram to tell her $39 was stupid expensive for a palette that small. Those who bought the palette immediately noticed its high level of fallout; The shadows were so loosely pressed, many customers found their shadows had fallen apart while shipping. But once she revealed swatches of all three shades in the palette, everyone took back their excitement. The shades looked extremely sheer and weren’t exactly complementary to a wide skin-tone range. Even with a severely discounted price, the Jetsetter palette still struggles to sell from drugstore shelves. Alongside the general frustration about the palette itself, Cat’s Pajamas failed to get any love from other major beauty YouTubers, save for a single video from Jeffree Star and another from Manny Gutierrez — both close friends of Lee’s at the time. When Kattan finally revealed that the collaboration was a collection of tools with Tweezerman, her fans were ultimately disappointed.
