I've gotten quite a few comments from people not understanding why I rub my finger down multiple times on some shades and not others while swatching. Here is why: There is literally no way to pick up the exact same amount of product on the finger every time. Swatching just once, down the arm, would lead to an unfair comparison due to this fact. Sometimes a chunk of product sticks, sometimes it doesn't. In order to be fair, when I swatch on my arm, I blend the product out with my finger. This is DIFFERENT from double swatching as I am never dipping back into the pan for more product. Blending the product does not add extra product to the swatch. All I'm doing is blending out the product for proper comparison. Hope this helps! :)
Jen Luvs Reviews I love you. Lol you are just awesome. I trust your reviews soooo much. Keep doing ya thang girl ❤️😁 #BaltimoreFan
I hope u can get the revamp version Jen for comparison, they are still close to the 2017 one, i hope they are still available in your area
Jen Luvs Reviews honestly swatching by doing like 2 circles in each pan and not blending it isn’t how we are going to use the product anyway. We pick up product until were satisfied and we blend it ! There is a difference between giving the product a chance by picking up enough and blending it a little with the finger , I don’t think anybody plans on wearing a swatch on their eyes. I prefer this realistic method from let’s say the way Natasha Denona swipe a good ten times in the pan or to the way Pat McGrath enhances her swatches to the point where it doesn’t look like what im buying. I don’t hear a lot of complaining about them doing it though. I say swatch it like you would swatch it for yourself!
Jen Luvs Reviews aka Jaclyn’s stans getting out their magnifying glasses to see anything possibly wrong with this video. Sad.
👏👏most honest youtuber award 👏👏
It feels like they kept the “better” formula until it had enough of a reputation for being amazing and then switched to a cheaper formula. I hope that’s not the case but mygosh it’s looking bad....
Companies do this ALL THE TIME. It’s disgusting. They usually say it’s a “new and improved formula,” and the only reason they say this is Bc they know people will notice a difference. How many times has “new and improved” been a change for the better? Rarely. This usually means they’ve changed the ingredients to save money.
ugagradrn It’s awful and extremely misleading for the consumer. You buy a product that’s amazing then down the road you see “new and improved formula” so you think wow, it was already great so it must be awesome now! It’s like they sell a ton of product then super greed sets in and they have to make even more money.
@@UGAgradRN that is so true... It happens a lot with MAC for instance... I prefer when they just change the packaging then "improve" the formula.
Maddie Bock I got the palette in 2018 (it’s the one they put the shade names/pictures on the back) and the mattes suck!!! They fade so bad and aren’t very pigmented. The only reason I keep the damn thing is the shimmers are wonderful! But the mattes suck! I was so disappointed with the palette.
I agree. Companies always trying to trick me the consumer.
Big companies: “nobody will notice” Jen: “hold my makeup brush”
😂
😂😂😂😂
I’m dying 😂 Jen comes with facts and I love it.
Yes, we need a Jen for every industry that thinks nobody will notice, the world would literally be so much better
Oh, I'd notice, 'cause I have to scour the ingredient labels for carmine. And if I do get any near my eye, it's swollen, itchy eyelids and/or eye infections. 😦
It’s false advertising. You sell the first batch with the best formula and then once it’s got the hype you start producing the cheap formula. No thanks.
sooo shady
Nicole B thats why Morphe is so cheap lol ive told ppl for years it’s not worth a damn I’m glad people are finally seeing it
Imagine all other companies that have done the same😳
I swear viseart does it. Everybody hypes them up and literally no pigment on the mini palette I purchased
Damn she went out and even bought a CONTROL palette for her experiment!! That is dedication. There really is no talking their way out of this one, the differences between the palettes are consistent!
The fbi needs to hire this woman. I swear when the excel sheets come out, I know Jen is about to educate us.
Companies should know better than to lie to Jen Luvs Reviews. She’ll find the truth one way or another.
🤷😀
My thoughts exactly. Lol. As soon as Jen said, "So I reached out to Morphe to ask them.." I was like oh no, if they are smart, they'll tell the truth lol. They're gonna try it with Jen Luvs Reviews?! Not the smartest move on their end.😂🤣😂🤣
I was just thinking the same thing!
The lies are honestly super gross. They should know better than that.
Damn right !!
I really don’t know why people keep giving Jaclyn and Morphe chances. They’ve shown their real colours multiple times and people are like “oh maybe this time they will be different”.
Bc this happens all the time with big makeup companies. they switch the formula without telling the influencer and they have to take all the blame. Too faced did it with Nikki Tutorials!!
The thing is a loooot of people don't know. I follow several local MUAs and they're not into KZhead, or only get their info from the influencer so they literally don't know they're constantly being duped by her.
THIS
@@OhSheetOnIt totally agree, and I wish they would look into these influencers more before supporting them.
Sharon - the triumph of hope over experience. Sort of like when Liz Taylor got married the second time to Burton, and all her subsequent attempts at marital happiness.
The saddest thing is that no one with a larger platform will speak out because they kiss Morphe’s butt. Thank you for sharing this!!!!!
I dont like morphe eyeshadows
@@makeupvilla9190 Me neither. I have several pallets, JH 2017 is the only one I like from Morphe. I swatched JS one at Ulta, noticed it's the same Morphe formula as any Morphe shadow and passed.
Notice in their email they said “pigmentations” are the same.. not formula... that’s a bit suspicious
Yeah it’s like they were lying without actually lying🤔
@@thebestcat9601 or did a big mistake thinking the buyers/users wold not notice and thinking we are stupid... ;)
Shady as hell. Morphed don’t deserve to be in business and people are starting to side eye morphe sponsorships
@@jht3fougifh393 that's not what "pigmentation" means
Lying by process of elimination. They circumvented the truth.
I stared at those swatches like we were analyzing forensic evidence 😂
Hahaha yeap!
Me too!
Hahaha me too! 😂
Saaame! I even paused and squinted and looked at them from different angles 😂😂
Yes!!
Morphe: they are the same formula. Jen: and the spreadsheet determined....that was a lie.
Rancher's Wife lol 😂
The Carmine thing is kinda a big deal tbh - not just the eye sensitivity, lots of customers are strict vegan purchasers and this is very dishonest.
Exactly! This can’t be stressed enough. This is the equivalent of advertising a cake as vegan, using soy milk or the like, and then the next month going back to regular milk without telling anyone.
I actually prefer carmine because I’m red dye sensitive so trying a lot of vegan formulas scare me. However, if your original formula didn’t contain carmine and the new one does and you don’t mention it. It seems hella shady. You were just hoping no one would notice. If I was a strictly vegan make up user I’d be so angry.
The fact that they added the new butters and oils too is a big issue, I’ve seen some people say they’re allergic to those specific ones added. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to be a vegan or someone allergic to those ingredients and buying or repurchasing the 2020 Vol. 1 or the Vol. 2 palette thinking it’s the same as the 2017 one.
I understand some people have sensitive eyes but i cannotttt support animal cruelty ~ and especially the fact that they lied about it / omitted it ~ awful
@@mirandanils5114 I'm pretty sure it's not animal cruelty (at least by definition). Being animal cruelty free and being vegan aren't the same. But honestly I feel like if it had just been a change in formula then it wouldn't be as serious, it's the fact that they (and Jaclyn) lied and back tracked that makes the whole situation so unethical.
I think the thing that turns me off the most is the fact that they straight up lied to you. This is why I can’t support morphe
Kelsey Hagman right? Hate when brands aren’t honest and just make it worse for themselves..
Sameeeee
Detective Jen is underrated. I'm so glad you investigated this!
Love live love Bridget and your channel!!! I'm not a morphe girl myself...they have always seemed shady
I feel so validated by this video. I got the original Jaclyn Hill palette when it first launched. Then unfortunately one of my bags was lost when traveling and it contained my JH palette . I decided to replace it and bought a new JH palette from Ulta. This was in November 2019. Everything was different about it. I thought maybe I was just romanticizing it. Or that I got a defective one. So I went back to Ulta they exchanged it out for me and it was the same thing. I exchanged it in December 2019. The original JH palette are used at least 3 to 4 times a week. This one I barely used because the pigmentation sucks. And it just doesn’t feel the same and the colors don’t look the same. Also I find that my eyes get itchy with the new palette which I never had itchy eye issues with the original palette. However I have experienced this from some of the regular palettes that Morphe creates.
Cheryl Diane it’s a great feeling to get validation. 💓
Bring it back to Ulta! As long as you have a rewards account with them, they can find the purchase in your history without a receipt. You’ll get store credit but you shouldn’t keep something that isn’t meeting your expectations.
They featured your comment in the Spill’s latest video.
Cheryl Diane I had similar thing that happened to be with other make up too
To this point the fact that people are still buying makeup with "Jaclyn Hill" written on it is incomprehensible to me...
Victoria Hilton s a m e - I think her pallets are boring!
Hayden Daviau yes for real,me it is the lies constantly that is throwing me off.If anyone wants her first morphe palette just get the one from Rude cosmetics- return of the jet eyeshadow- freakin best formula ever and it is the same Colors as the Jaclyn hill one.The packaging is really nice too!😉
Agreed
Me too
Lmao
I hate being misled. When Jaclyn launched the Vault collection she also claimed it was the same formula of the orginal Jaclyn Hill palette. Then, when she launches the Vol 2, she again claims it's the same formula of the original palette.. which after this video we are finding out doesn't even exist anymore. I'm beyond disappointed.
I can't believe people are still shocked or don't realise that jackyln will say anything to sell things to make money.....snake oil salesman.
@@justmissjamey So so so so true. If her lips are moving... She is fibbing to some degree! Never was a fan, she ALWAYS seemed inauthentic to me. I want the best for people and really wished she could catch a break and hoped perhaps she might humble a bit, but once again we are being fed "snake oil"! I do not understand how she has an audience???
The thing is that this video showed the vol 2 is still different from the 2017 ver and the 2020 ver, so it’s not even the same as she claimed.
Me too I literally next week was going to order both, volume 1 and 2... NOT now and I adored these. What's are comparable pallets?
Holli Martin I hate being lied to, it makes me so angry 😡 You have a much better reaction than I do, I admire that😊
MAD SHOUTOUT TO JEN for doing all this investigative research for all of us consumers!
The beauty industy game has changed in 2019. You can't fake people out like beauty companies was once able to do. Just be truthful and up front, problem solved.
Yup. Ingredients matter, and more people check. Kenna Whitnal is a good source of ingredient knowledge. She’s a biochemist whose channel really took off after she paid to analyze JH’s lipstick. I’ve continued to watch her as she knows tons of useful info.
A lot of fakeness are still here. J.Star and Shane Dawson made a sappy video and release a makeup palette the day after. They make millions from that.
...it’s Jaclyn Hill. This disaster was written before it happened.
My 2017 Jaclyn Hill palette says Carmine. Right on the unit carton. I dont blame jaclyn at this point. If morphe claims to be vegan, they shouldnt have added carmine in ANY of their products. Even if she asked, they would have, or should have, told her no, and excluded that ingredient. I believe it's their fault at this point.
I feel like we could start a class action suit against morphe at this point
Savii Sam i was just thinking about this!!
Or we could just simply boycott them.
Tooti McSlop nothing morphe does is simple so they deserve the same energy they give us 😂
Savii Sam i refuse to purchase anything from Morphie!
Savii Sam Great idea, I can suit and make some $ with Morphe.
She made a video saying “I know people criticize me and say I only come to KZhead to sell palettes 🙄” and that’s exactly what she did. No more videos no tutorials nothing for her fans. She’s just a spokesperson to sell things. Why she still has fans over all the years of lying and just selling is beyond me.
Totally agree with you.
Araceli •Chely• It’s sad and annoying!
Her fans are fading fast. The new palette didn't sell out. Highly unusual. Many fans were upset because the highlighters were promoted as a Limited Edition and of course, they weren't.
So true!!!
Totally agree with you! She is one big hypocrite.
This is such a well researched in depth review I don’t even own this palette and I was so impressed by your charts
This is like what Too Faced did to NikkieTutorials. Giving her a different formula and selling a different. Maybe Morphe is doing the same with Jaclyn Hill so they get away with it and she gets the backlash or maybe she had papers and stuff for that formula so I guess she has kept the better formula for her own brand. Just theories.
I’m personally shocked at the differences, and that’s even factoring in palette age. Amy’s palette is so different.
nerdlingful it’s interesting tho that it’s not 100% that the older palette swatches better then ALL the newer ones. Regardless, it’s different. Rip old formula.
I have a feeling this will be reaching to some drama channels
@Crucibelle Are you serious? Most of the metallics in the new palette were lackluster and some of the mattes were not even the same!
Angie Freeman I thought some of the mattes and metallics were better and poorer in the different palettes. It wasn’t even tho and I didn’t bother them count. I was at least relieved to see that Amy’s & Jens new palette performed mostly the same.
@Crucibelle there was some serious differences in some of the colours .. I'm not sure how you didnt see it
Moral of the story: I'm done with Morphe.They're just too shady. There's so many brands out there. There is just no reason to buy from them!
They're cheap. They try and get away as cheap as possible. Only when there is a crapstorm to they pretend to up thuerv game. There are a lot a very smart beauty KZheadrs and one day Morphe will likely be no more.
Rain I feel like no one talks about makeup revolution eyeshadows enough. They have palettes for everyone and they have super bright colors that look really good on dark skin. Same price point or cheaper
@@stephaniemasi9625 Maybe I have to give Makeup Revolution another try. I bought a blush from them that I hated and it kind of soured me off the brand. But the point is that there are a lot of inexpensive brands that are a lot more ethical. Juvia's Place, Color pop, Elf, Catrice, Kokie, hell even wet and wild is less shady than Morphe.
@Michelle Mata I was going to stop there too! But I got suckered into the Jeffree x Morphe palette (which I hated) I exchanged it for Alien (which I loved). Actually that is the one reason to buy from them is to see his products in person. I wish he'd sell his whole line at Ulta or Sephora
There really are sooo many brands out there, there is no need to buy a 35 pan palette with repetitive shades when you can buy a much smaller palette with higher more consistent quality for the same price or cheaper elsewhere! 39 dollars is a hefty sum, you can get a high end palette if you throw in a few bucks more. Sure it's less shadows, but who needs all those repeats just to make it seem like a good deal cause cost per pan is lower lmao.
That’s crazy how different the swatches look. The original searches are still better , even if it’s 3 years old.
Exactly❣👏👏👏
You can literally tell there’s a warmer tone to the 2020 packages.
LOLOLOLOL what happened to their “award winning”, “record breaking”, “won a trophy for it” formula😂 I’m not even surprised at all by anything morphe does at this point
Sometimes the lab that created the formula owns it and companies that purchase the rights to use it pay a licensing fee (similar to royalties for playing a copyrighted song). It's possible that Morphe decided to supplement its own formula due to financial reasons or because the lab wouldn't sell the formula or give exclusive rights. It just sucks that they didn't inform customers.
I’ve gotten better pay off and pigmentation, lasting power from Asian palettes that are from eBay . Morphe is a load of shit when it comes to palettes . They have good lip shades and lip liners but that’s it
seriously. you are the most trustworthy reviewer ever. thank you so much for doing this!
I'm so pissed about this. I'm allergic to carmine, it makes my eyes swell and ooze. I loved the first Jaclyn Hill palette as one of the only great ones not to use it, and when I went to LA last year I even went out of my way to go to the Morphe store to check out their other products in person. I got one of the vault palettes and used it only to have an allergic reaction. I checked the ingredients, and sure enough. But I figured it was my fault for assuming it would be carmine-free. Then when the new palette came out, I checked and saw that it has carmine, which was very disappointing. Seeing that they changed the ORIGINAL palette though? That's infuriating.
I am honestly so upset and confused. I bought her pallet and was lead to believe it was vegan! This is honestly crazy! I am honestly sick hearing this. Thanks so much for making this video. Your honestly so amazing hun! I love your videos! Keep up the amazing work girl 💖💖
Morphe is the Claire’s of the makeup world. When you are young, you think it’s the greatest place. Then you grow up and think what, it’s not real and jewelry is supposed to last more than a month? A bright sparkle at a cheap price is not a real diamond. Lesson: Pooter is a terrible name for an eyeshadow- you WILL get pink eye
so is pukey. jeez
Exactly. No grown woman or man would carry a huge pallete with so many repeats. Small and practical and quality will forever trump Morphe. So wasteful too...
Dido’s Tempest agreed!! I’ve looked at them to buy n I’m like wtf they’re all such similar shades wtf is the point 🤦♀️
Wow so accurate. When I first started wearing tons of make up, I thought Morphe was everything. Then I bought other palettes and started realizing the difference when I would go back. I do love my OG JH palette though.
Anyone else here feel like you're in a Scooby-Doo episode? Like Morphe just had their mask ripped off and said "We would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for Jen and her pesky subbies!!!!" *insert maniacal laugh here
😂😂😂
Ummm. You are hilarious Tawnee. Flipping hilllllaaaarrrrreeeeeoousss
Lmao
My friend said her voice sounds like a news anchor or weather reporter and now I can’t stop hearing it
When I first heard her voice, I thought she might do radio
LMAO! I can't stop hearing it now
Just getting around to watching! Thank you so much for providing such information packed videos. It's very helpful to have this information as someone who promotes products to an audience. I'm so surprised that Morphe is avoiding the Carmine situation. I am not vegan but I can only imagine how upsetting it would be if you were and simply bought a back up of an old favorite palette and unknowingly used a formula you don't believe in using.
This is why I don’t buy Morphe. Cheap, inconsistent, and shady.
They're consistent in that they're cheap and shady!
@@starlinguk 👏👏👏👏
Exactly what I was gonna say but didn’t want to get the comments from the stans lmao 😂
Same. I loved the first pallet I bought from them. The two I bought after, the formula was just too inconsistent. Stopped buying.
Sammy Sweet the stans can come and look foolish all they want. 😊
ENTIRE WORLD: "The Vault SUCKS! We HATE The Vault!" MORPHE: "Okay, then...let's just go with that formula from now on" ??????????????????? Morphe makes NO sense....
mommafletch They’re cheap. They probably use the cheapest formula possible.
Makes no sense unless they just want to support only Jeffree.
Makes no sense unless they just want to support only Jeffree.
I actually enjoy one of my vaults palettes..
Most likely jeffree is owner of morphe now....you don't hear much about the owners anymore.....and if by some small chance he isn't, I'd bet a lot of money he is heavily invested in them. Hes got his own brand that is good...why would he go slumming with Morphe and lower his standards and brand by being "the face" of Morphe , when his brand does so well?! It wouldnt make sense unless he has a lot of money riding on it or owns it. Also, his last pallette release "blood lust" really, really is not up to the standard jeffree star pallettes.
If I was Jaclyn, I'd be infuriated. I would think there is a breach of contract on Morphe's part. Her name is on this and Morphe should honor the original formula. If they can no longer source the same ingredients and their quality control is unable to fulfill the original specs, then they should not continue to produce the palette. This is as old as the familiar saying "bait and switch"!
Not only were there differences in formula, there were differences in COLOR.
Here's me screaming at my TV: "THOSE ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT COLORS!" Thank you for the in depth analysis and sleuthing.
jez3belly same 🙌🏼👏
most of them are warmer now and in some shades I even notice a difference between the new ones!
Same!
I was thinking the same, the 2017 was very pigment and rich-toned the other two similar and in some cases slightly different from each other.
Literally the only person willing to roll up their sleeves and cross reference ingredients 🙌🏻 I applaud your commitment
I an avid Raw Beauty Kristi watcher. I was binge watching her old videos today, and she mentioned you in her James Charles Morphe video. I came over from there and found this video. This is high quality content from a influencer who truly cares for her audience. You remind me so much of Kristi in the type of content you provide. Definitely subscribed and now will be up way too late binging your channel!
knowing how jacklyn operates, she probably was made aware and most likely does not care
She knew and even slipped up and accidentally told on herself when she said morphe told her they had made some improvements to the vol2 palette vs vol1. And said that she wasn't made aware the formulas had changed. But there's no possible way to do that without altering the formulas.
SOMETHING definitely changed... it honestly looks like you have 3 different palettes from 3 different manufacturers in some of these swatches. This is eye opening and weird. Thanks for sacrificing your arm to the makeup goddess
Audra at Home they’re all completely different 🧐🧐🧐
Right? There are colors that look totally different on all 3, like you said, 3 different manufacturers? Wow...
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that.
The 2020 JH no. 1 palettes look like dupes from the 2017 palette
This is crazy....any way you choose to look at it. 🤔
Whenever I upload videos with music, I always get a few comments of people not liking my music choices. It's totally okay! Just turn the volume down and add your own track! You will want to turn the volume back up at 6:12 because I have an Editing Jen in there. Hope you found this video helpful! :) (edited for typo)
Damn that's a lot of swatches, girl !!! Thanks for such thorough reviews 💗
The music was great. She kinda sounded like Selena Gomez to me!
I still find it so sad that creators have to post "disclaimers" like this. 🤷♀️
People always find something to complain about..i can't imagine living my life so bothered lmao Hope you are having a great day Jen..i wonder if i can return the jaclyn 2 palette even though i used it?? Im not happy with how patchy it is.
@@AndreaHa ikr. Her poor arm!
I’m so glad you did this . I would love to see more reviews of pallets. I didn’t realize about all the information on ingredients and how they are listed . I def learned a lot and will be paying attention more . Thank you !
I have an original Jaclyn Hill palette that has a sticker on the spine that includes Carmine. I bought mine in early 2018. It is a real palette, not a copycat. I think the Carmine change happened earlier than 2020..
Morphe is shady as hell. when is everyone gonna realize this omg
Meg how this is still such a surprise is a surprise. Stop buying Morphe, stop talking about morphe, stop acknowledging morphe and they will eventually go away. It’s a crappy company who uses “influencers” to sell their stuff.. no marketing required bc they pay these people to talk about and sell their crappy stuff.
Thank you! Theyre clout chasers using influencers to sell their crap products.
Like Nappy HeadedJojoba says "Never trust anyone with a Morphe code"🤷🏿♀️
Morphe: “and we would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you crazy kids” 🎼Cue Scooby Doo music!🎼 Unbelievable!! Such an excellent, well researched video! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Vanessa B yup!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Meddling* kids 😉
Millie Clinton I know. I put crazy. 🙃
Vanessa B oh fair enough I thought you misquoted it by accident 🙂
Me the almost entire swatches session: Some pigments arnt even the same colour!!?!?!?!
Jaclyn at this point.. needs to distance herself away from Morphe if she wants to keep her career.
I was thinking the same thing.
Or just solely do KZhead for a while
I’m pretty sure she lost a lot of money on the lipstick fiasco so she’s having to colab with them to make money..
When Jen breaks the biggest Tea of the year and puts all the drama channels to shame - absolutely quality content as always Jen! ♥️
This is the responsibility we as viewers would like to see from everyone in the beauty community! Great vid Jen. They sure did her dirty when they changed up the formula (in my opinion).
I wonder if she would examine her own palettes at any point and notice a difference. I'm skeptical, because I think I would notice if it were mine. But you never know. I'm sure she'll say she wasn't aware of it, either way. I don't trust her. It's impossible to tell if she knew or not. Morphe certainly knows and they lied.
I'm sure she knows. She is known for lying her ass off.
👌🏼👏🏼💯🎯
I know! She needs to stay way from them and just concentrate on her brand
Why do people give this brand and woman their money anymore
I feel like a remember a "scandal" back in the day where Jaclyn said it was her formula but it was actually just pressed differently or something...am I just imagining this???
To quote my boyfriend: "Morphie hasn't been transparent with their customers?!?" in the most sarcastic tone you can picture. Even my bf, who knows nothing of the makeup community, isn't surprised, haha!
Rachel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol!
They haven’t been transparent w their customer base but they have been transparent w their shadow pigmentation!
Ellie 💀💀💀
Seems like he just knows what lying sounds like
The time and detail that went into this video is so amazing!!! Not just with the amount of research, but all the inserts to make this video understandable and readable from my tiny phone lmao Thank you Jen! I hope people understand and appreciate this
Whenever I want an honest opinion about a brand or a palette (etc.), your channel is the one I always turn to! The dedication you have to the truth of these things is the absolute best. ❤️
I bought my jaclyn hill volume 1 palette in the summer of 2018 so it was not from the original launch (the packaging had been slightly updated such as showing the shades on the back of it) but l thankfully kept the box so I was able to confirm that it still had the same formula as the original release. My guess is they changed the formula when the did this most recent rebrand of the palette to make the packaging look more like Jaclyn’s brand’s packaging.
I bought mine at ULTA in May 2018 but threw away the box. Mine is the same packaging as yours. I feel like mine performs fine, but wasn’t sure if formula changed because I recycled the box. Thanks for letting me know. 💕
They changed the formula when they decided to the vault, that explains the bad formula of them.
OH MY GOD. THEY ARENT EVEN THE SAME TONES OF COLOR SOMETIMES. ARE YOU KIDDING ME MORPHE??? FOR SHAME.
Even the 2020 palette colors are slightly off in some cases.
Human error? Our eye aren’t scientific, & as we have different perceptions; our devices (some using phones or various computer monitors). It’s impossible to create an identical swatch Jen even said that up top some of pigment sticks differently/different pressure/a few were done w diff fingers. There is no way to create a scientifically identically swatch. I don’t mean that in a mean or rude way.
I noticed the differences in tone as well. Some were so blatantly obvious.
Kristin Ann Solien Many other brands have consistency..
Kristin Ann Solien our eyes aren’t scientific but formulas are, and for two seemingly identical formulas to seem different next to one another is less human error (especially if others are noticing this on a large scale) and more something to do with the actual make of the product
Jen is the honorary and honorable FBI, CIA, secret agent extraordinaire of the make up community. We are so blessed. Amen
😂😂😂 yessss 💯💯💯
Thank you so much for researching these things in such detail and doing the comparisons. I do not think there is anyone online doing this type of thing.
I don’t know how you covered so much detailed information in so much depth but I offer up my deepest respect to you. This could not have been an easy video to produce. You really did an outstanding job. Thank you!!
I'm the weirdo who keeps my boxes to everything. I just pulled out the packaging to my Jaclyn Hill palette that I bought at the Morphe store in April 2019 (the week that the Jeffree Star concealer launched), and my formula is different than all the formulas you listed (at least the order)! I could send you a picture if you like, but it goes as follows: Mica, talc, dimethicone, tridecyl trimellitate, phenyl trimethicone, nylon-12, magnesium stearate, silica, ethylhexyl palmitate, octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, isononyl isononanoate, kaolin, polymethylsilsesquioxane, isostearyl isostearate, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, ethylhexylglycerin. May contain: titanium dioxide(CI 77891), iron oxides(CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), chromium hydroxide green(CI 77289), chromium oxide greens(CI 77288), ultramarines(CI 77007), ferric ferrocyanide(CI 77510), manganese violet(CI 77742), CARMINE (CI 75470), yellow 5 lake(CI 19140), red 40 lake(CI 16035, blue 1 lake(CI 42090). My box says ACO2D and JH2. Also, mine does look like your 2017 palette on the outside, but on the inside the writing on my lid looks different than both the palettes in your video. So I guess there are at least 3 versions of this palette. Shame.
Whoa 😲 I really wonder why they've done this when it was perfect originally. So weird. 🤔
I also have an in between palette. It definitely applies differently than the one I got on launch day
Do you like your palette?
I was wondering about this too coz i bought one last year thats just sad
I have the same pallet as you... Yes same here!
Jen out here doing the lords work
Your analysis is so thorough! It's rare to find a review with quantifiable characteristics -- this is awesome! Girl, you do your homework, and I love it! 💖💖💖
I’ve only just found your channel and I’m a big fan already. You’re so thorough and knowledgable! Love content that is this professional.
Never spent a dime on Morphe, and NEVER, EVER, EVER will!!! There is nothing nice or positive or good about that shady brand. Ew!
Monz I bought two brushes in 2015 and regret it every day lol
Jacalyn 198724 I have a couple of brushes. I hate that I love them 😬😂
I have 2 brushes. That's it. 😂
Mackenzie Miller Brushes are too damn good. Some people say well compared to this 75 dollar brush I have it’s not good at all and I’m like... girl no one has money for that. Even when I was single I didn’t have money for that... they are good for their reasonable price.
I have like 5 morphe palettes bc I was so misled by beauty gurus back in the day... Before we learned they were making money from Morphe because affiliate codes were new and they didn't disclose. (thanks Here For The Tea for enlightening us all). I had never bought makeup besides drugstore so I believed that was what "good quality" was, until I started using other brands, even Colourpop (amazing and just as affordable as Morphe) and was like ok Morphe isn't that great... And then the vaults dropped and people started looking into Morphe's shadiness and I realized I was duped by beauty gurus trying to make a buck w their codes.
I’ve never purchased a morphe product and I stand by my decision after this video.
This is the very first time i have ever seen you on KZhead and I respect you for the honesty and transparency 👍🏻 liked how you made sure you explained everything you’re doing while swatching 🙇🏻♀️ im a subscriber now
Spreadsheets, emails and full on swatches, I've never seen such a detailed video. You just gained a new subscriber! Love your honesty!
Jaclyn has had an issue with everything she has launched. That's why I refuse to buy any of her products.
Tbf champagne pop was a massive hit and had no problems with the initial launch. Feels like forever ago. Her new highlights also seemed to go well. Maybe she should just stick to highlights lol I think she's just lazy an slow. Her products that she actually makes an effort with and doesn't rush etc. seem to do well but she takes forever to do it as she has like no work ethic. Champagne pop, her original morphe palette etc. Her becca face palette. But then the becca eye shadow palette where she cba an just made one shade an left it to them was crap. Took her 2 years to make one palette that was perfect but then she has 4 palettes in the vault that she obv didn't put same amount of effort into.(othereise it would of took her 100 years like everything else does) and its crap. She probably just picked some old left.over colours and trusted them that it would be same quality as original and didn't go through every shade till if perf like the original. Same with her lippys. Spent forever on the packaging and colours which are gorge. I have them and they are. But rushed them all at the last miinute and wasn't thorough in her quality control. I think her problem is just her work ethic etc. When she actually tries and perfects something its good she's just so lazy that it takes her forever. An you can't really do that with make up. Things expire etc.
Morphe makes these those so how the fuck is this her fault
@@linnypinny593 yeah her collabs go ok but anything she seems to do with morphe or on her own there is always something shady happening. I just don't trust her and never will. She barely even does a youtube video anymore except when she wants to promote something. Idk I'm just not a fan. The champagne pop highlighter was definitely the major hit.
That's a fair choice. To be honest in this case people should be more mad at Morphe in this case.
@@TheMarkedGirl717 morphe should be to blame yes but so should jaclyn she needs to be more involved with her products. I know anything that has my name on it I'm going to make sure it's up to standard.
I seriously appreciate your depth of research. It’s impressive and nice for consumers who want to understand what’s behind what we buy. Thank you ☺️
Just found your channel and all I can say is that if I ever had a company I would hire you ASAP. Your job in this video is stellar. Congratulations, really. We wish Morphe and Jaclyn had a fraction of your professional ethics...
Jen, u r such a smart cookie! I just want to say I appreciate how much time & effort u put into your videos, not just this one-all of them! U continue to impress me. Good job, sister!
I’m so glad I saw this! I’m allergic to coconut oil and the new palettes of the original palette have coconut oil in them and even the vol. 2 now have coconut oil, now I know to steer away! Thank you so much!!!!! You have saved my eyes!❤️❤️❤️
I hate the whole coconut oil hype in makeup. Its comedogenic(causes breakouts and blackheads), why would you want that on your face!?
It's the best oil to take in Not applying to the face
I'm not sure if someone has already commented this but I want to mention it because it now all makes sense to me. On the Ulta app, you can sort by "New Arrivals", meaning the top starts with their newest products and goes down all the way to the first items they released with Ulta. I typically sort a lot of brands I shop at Ulta from New Arrivals because I want to see what their "OG" products are, so I tend to scroll to the bottom and start there. Several months ago when I first got into makeup and was shopping the Morphe brand, I did this, and Jaclyn's palette was towards the bottom because it was from 2017. It also had thousands of reviews and a very high rating. However, a few days after the Vault palettes were released on Ulta, the listing for Jaclyn's original palette was removed, and it was a new palette with no reviews. As of today, it only has about 50 reviews. This meets what you're saying. Right around the vaults must have been the time they changed the formula because Ulta had to relist it on their site. Right? Idk, I just thought I'd mention it since it makes sense to me now. Thanks for another amazing video Jen :)
I noticed that too! I just thought it was a glitch or something but after seeing this video....👀
I want quality period...too much scamming going on.
joshdotcom the. Thanks for your research & sharp eye. That means that gave Morphe plenty of time to tell Jaclyn &/or plenty of time for Jaclyn to tell the world.
Wait you're so right!! Someone else touched on that and wondered why her OG pallet was under new arrivals at Ulta, but I can't remember who. They even wondered if they were going to be re-releasing with an updated formula and looks like that's the case
wow they got away with it for soooo long then! So many people must have bought it just to get dissapointed, unbelievable.
Bless Jen for being as detailed in research as someone like me. Love how honest Jen is. I recommend you to all my friends
I just really want to say THANK YOU for the time and effort you put into your reviews. I truly appreciate you.💖
If I ever get married and then need a divorce I’m hiring you to represent me
Riiiight 😂
Right?! She’s so professional lol, I felt like I was in college lecture again
LMAO
Didn't Jaclyn also claim the vault collection was the same formula as her first palette too? There's a theme here.
Yep. And I even have a screenshot of morphe actually showing that pallets original ingredient list and then the updated one of it from a tweet they made themselves but neither of those formulas are what it is now. So they're just lying to people completely.
@cobbiant Miguel Bahaha haha haha. 🤣🤣🤣
Cobbiant Miguel what is just LLE ?
A Hippy think it’s just a typo for “like”
Omg girl the effort you put into this video is INSANE!!!Loveddd itttt
I really enjoy your honesty first, and then I really love how in depth you research and review! Love this channel!!! I loooooove my 2017 palette!
When I’m on Jen’s channel, I know that I’m not coming to get THE TEAA but the well researched facts and extremely thoughtful opinions Jen has to present 🙏🏻
Maddie Bee I come to this channel to get the honesTEA LOL
Maybe a little tea, a little tea can be good when it can be backed with truth and evidence. I like Jen's tea. It's truthful tea, lol.
..aka the tea lol
Oh my god someone who loves an excel as much as me. DETAILS GIRL DETAILS. Love this. ♥️
Two smart ladies I turn to for info, no drama, just the facts and most of the time a little fun along the way. Much respect for both of you.
Omg! Caroline Hirons commenting here!! 😍😍
Excel is an excellent program !
Excel is the best. Columns and rows just make things make sense.
Iconic.
This is the most thorough, well-researched review. You’re awesome Jen!
I’m always in awe of how much work goes into your videos. You don’t ever sit down on a whim and just film things. So much preparation goes into everything that you do! You’re successful for a reason! 🥰😍
Glad you’re willing to give products more than a first glance chance. Thanks for keeping us up to date as your opinions and techniques evolve.
Morphe is going to be pissed to have been caught out!!! Good for you, Jen! This is exactly why I consistently believe your reviews over others.
As always Jen your integrity your thoroughness and your willingness to be real and honest is stand out in the community. Thank you for doing what you do! I love your Channel!
So thoughtful and thorough. Love how you pick apart these things because it really helps the consumer to be so informed.
Wait on the website morphe claims that they're vegan but then in palette ingredient list there is carmine???? huh???
Olena straight up if you have a palette by morphe that claims vegan status when in fact it’s not vegan you can take them to court for many things, some personal and some federal. Someone should start a page for a class action lawsuit and for the American government to step in and assess damages. Saying something is vegan, and then having someone have a severe allergic reaction the the non vegan ingredient in your product, is enough to go bankrupt, if not jail time, seeing as it can be considered assault in some areas of the world. They know the legal position they’re in they just depend on the average consumer like you or me not knowing the process to holding them accountable, and it’s a long and taxing process
Olena they also claim there cruelty free but I asked years ago if they sell to China and they told me “yes we sell to China:)” I said oh then your not cruelty free? And they blocked me from there website lol. This was maybe 3-4 years ago
@@slenderman2741 the problem is you would have to have a very serious reaction with permanent injury because of a product for a court to consider a claim. Morphe can't claim to be vegan as they produce real hair brushes. Carmine is considered to be a safe ingredient for cosmetics even if we as people find crushed beetles a disgusting ingredient. So a claim because the ingredients changed would entitle you to a refund and that's it, a judge wouldn't even hear the case. In situations like this it is for authorities to investigate like in the UK trading standards.
@@Pashlikeash a lot of companies continue to claim cruelty free status as they have no part in the animal testing so that isn't just a Morphe thing. All I will say is you cannot change China from the outside because they don't trust foreign countries or agencies, you have to be there dealing with them to try to get them to change I know the UK and the EU are pressuring China to stop the animal tests.
@@Pashlikeash China doesn't test products actually manufactured there, so since Morphe is a "white-label" brand, and made there, it is not subject to testing.
Talk about taking one for the team, I’m surprised Jen’s skin on her arm is still intact!
Ikr...
With Morphe X3 mega palettes I’m surprised her arm didn’t just either fall off or rip itself off and crawl away with a sign saying, “ I Quits, Woman!”
My arm is raw just from watching!
thank you! it was starting to gross me out thinking how many times she had to scrub her arm in a row lol LOVE Jen though, she is SO trustworthy and as a youtuber, that's a rare quality.
Girl I watched all the adds so you can get that coin, this is an absolutly incredible review ❤️
"So let's look at my little charty chart." 😂 Thars the best. Made my day.
My jaw literally dropped so many times during those swatches 😯
I just discovered your channel but I think I'm in love. Like wow, how honest you are 🤯
I really appreciate your honesty and in depth work you have put forth in this video! God bless!
