"When shipping eye-shadow palettes, sometimes ' what happens, y'all' They break. It happens with anyone that ships any palette on the planet.""So when creating this, I said I didn't want to create a square unit carton," he said. "I wanted to create a buffer, and almost like a bumper, so even if there's no bubble wrap, even if there's 20 million bubble wraps around this, I wanted to make sure that you had a palette that when you opened it, whether you throw the box away or you keep it, your shadows were intact."He went on to explain that inside the exterior unit carton, which is purple and embossed with the Blood Lust logo, customers will find their palette protected by another layer of cardboard."There is this bumper around it where if you get it, it may have a little bit of creasing in here, but this is a protector," Star said. "Once you get your palette b----, you can throw it out, you can keep it if you want, but it is gonna make sure that your palette stays flawless."People previously said they received broken palettes from Star's brand when it launched a collaboration with Shane DawsonBack in November 2019, some people said they received broken Conspiracy eye-shadow palettes from the Shane Dawson x Jeffree Star Cosmetics line. Many of those who complained said they purchased the product from Beauty Bay, a UK retailer that sells Jeffree Star Cosmetics.@beautybay I waited 2+ weeks to get my Conspiracy palette and it arrived in a crushed box w/ broken shadow & the only protective wrapping was this thin piece of paper '' Super diddapointed and wishing I could have ordered directly from Jeffree's website. @shanedawson @JeffreeStar pic.twitter.com/BhwZ9SwqNt' Katya (@kitkatKatyaL) November 18, 2019The absolute devastation when you open your parcel from beauty bay and it's broken '''' pic.twitter.com/C5HYKqZeBJ' stacey mccallum (@staceymccallum9) November 16, 2019@JeffreeStar @shanedawson @beautybay I got it today...

He also confirmed that fibers were found in "35 palettes out of 1.1 million sold,"but that customers could get a refund and new product by reaching out to the brand.I know I'd for sure have to scrape off the top layer because sleep paralysis is really in there at this point and not all of it can just be 'blown off' especially with how detailed the stamp designs.'
