Jaclyn Hill, a well-known beauty influencer and entrepreneur, recently faced controversy surrounding her product launch of the Jaclyn Hill Dark Magic Eyeshadow Palette. The palette, which was highly anticipated by her followers, received mixed reviews and criticism. The main issue with the Jaclyn Hill Dark Magic palette was the quality of the eyeshadows. Many customers complained about the patchy and difficult-to-blend formula, leading to a disappointing user experience. Some also reported issues with fallout and lack of pigmentation, which further added to the dissatisfaction. As the news of the subpar quality spread, consumers took to social media platforms to express their disappointment.

These 9 Songstresses Are the Ultimate Witchy Style Icons

Stevie Nicks is synonymous with a certain witchy vibe, which is understandable to some degree—she’s battled witch rumors since Fleetwood Mac’s early days, and even played one on TV in American Horror Story a few years back. Nicks may have paved the way with her glossy capes and earthy printed caftans, but other musical icons have also perfected, each in their own idiosyncratic way, that mysterious, feminine aesthetic that evokes power, sorcery, psychic knowledge, or just a deep inner connection to the spiritual world.

Take Björk, who consistently brings it with elaborate outfits that often obscure her face in different ways: She’ll go from looking like an aquamarine alien princess to wearing a wired pearl headpiece that might have come straight from the set of a sci-fi film. Lorde dabbled with another Björk favorite, silky masks, when she wore a sheer lacy white headpiece over black mesh.

And while Lorde and Björk have mastered a sort of gothic and alien approach to their styles, respectively, Erykah Badu’s oversize top hats and feather accents convey something else entirely. Badu’s iconic looks can perhaps only be defined as the visual manifestation of that enigmatic Baduizm, a principle she once defined as “the things that get me high: lighting a candle, loving life, knowing myself. . . using my melanin, using my power to get to where I need to go.” If witchcraft, to borrow her phrasing, is all about using your power to get what you want, then these stars’ enchanting style could certainly be considered a form of it. Here, a look at nine witchy artists’ most mystical fashion moments.

Erykah Badu Insinuates Beyoncé's Stealing Her Tour Looks

As the news of the subpar quality spread, consumers took to social media platforms to express their disappointment. This led to a significant backlash against Jaclyn Hill and her brand. Many accused her of releasing a product without proper quality control or testing, claiming that she prioritized profit over delivering a satisfactory product to her loyal customers.

Erykah Badu to Beyoncé Your ‘Renaissance’ Style Looks Mighty Familiar.

Beyoncé and Erykah Badu are both blazing across the country this summer on tours … but one R&B star seems to think the other is watching her wardrobe too closely, and jocking her style.

On Monday, Erykah fired shots directly from Mama's gun . showing Beyoncé onstage during her "Renaissance" tour, and followed up with another of herself in order to highlight how similar their fits were -- especially the high-top wicked witch-style hats.

EB peppered the post with a touch of shade in the caption, "I guess I'm everybody stylist" . making it clear she thinks Beyoncé's stolen her look.

Both iconic artists have been rocking hats throughout large periods of their careers and haven't drawn many comparisons, with Bey dominating the music industry's pop pyramids with the most Grammys ever . and Erykah widely being considered a pioneer of modern R&B.

Many fans feel EB's comments were giving petty, and think she has a bit more explaining to do before she can wage a legitimate beef with the Beyhive.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

She just went viral on her own "Unfollow Me" tour after linking up with John Boyega onstage . but, in that video, she wasn't wearing the hat she's so mad at Bey for wearing. 👀

Erykah Badu Plans To Sell Incense With The Scent Of Her Vagina, For Real

Erykah Badu has always been…let’s say eccentric. Case in point, the Neo-Soul singer plans to sell incense laced with the scent of her vagina.

The “On & On” singer announced that she is releasing an incense called “Badu’s P*ssy” that will carry the scent of her, umm, womanhood. It will be available via her new online store, Badu World Market, set to launch February 20.

For those wondering how she plans to capture the essence of her vajayjay, it will be made out of her used underwear. Badu told 10 Magazine the process. “I took lots of pairs of my panties, cut them up into little pieces and burned them,” she told the Britsh magainze. “Even the ash is part of it.”

But the kicker is Badu also said she doesn’t wear panties in the same interview. Well, she thus had no use for her old underwear and, here we are. “Yeah, man!” she told 10 magazine about whether she thought the process was personal. “The people deserve it!”

With that in mind: “There’s an urban legend that my p*ssy changes men,” she told the British publication. “The men that I fall in love with, and fall in love with me, change jobs and lives.”

Badu isn’t kidding there. The 48-year-old has children with talented MC’s Andre 3000, Jay Electronica and the D.O.C. She also once dated Common had that man rocking crochet clothing and rainbow colors.

That lore is precisely why Twitter started getting the jokes off the moment her announcement was made. You can’t make this stuff up.

Azealia Banks Better Never Come For Erykah Badu’s Queendom Again

By Jamilah King Feb 16, 2015

Erykah Badu has this thing about the Internet where sometimes she fuckin’ owns it. She brings all of her down-home Dallas b-girl voodoo swag and keeps it all the way real with ordinary boring-ass humans who try to come for her. And the occasional group of traveling nuns:

Over the weeknd, Azealia Banks made the unfortunate life choice to question Badu’s taste in music. Never mind that this is an artist who’s got 19 more Grammy nominations and four more albums than Banks, the immensely talented but hopelessly troubled 23-year-old Harlemite who’s more known for fighting on Twitter than releasing the signature brand of so-called "witch hop" she claims to be pioneering. Anyway. Here’s what had happened:

One of Badu’s fans asked her on Twitter if she listens to Banks’ music, and she replied honestly with one telling word:

And then Banks, who obviously trolls Twitter for any and every mention of her own name, responded by accusing Badu of throwing shade and being jealous:

And then Badu, watching her timeline blow up with the petulant rants of a frustrated artist who thinks that 43 is old, got even realer by turning on her location (she was Queens, a train ride away from Banks’ beloved Harlem):

That had all of Black Twitter reppin’ hard for Badu like:

Fans even invoked T.I., who’s been on the receiving end of a few of Banks’ rants:

Then Banks committed the cardinal sin of coming for Badu’s oils and headwraps. Girl. You never come for another black woman’s oils and headwraps. That’s just Combahee River Collective-style Black Feminism 101:

To which all the black people watching were just like:

This isn’t the first time that Badu has subtly and swiftly slayed people on the Internet. Remember back in 2008 when she told salty bloggers hating on her third pregnancy to "kiss my placenta?" Yeah, this was almost that good. We luh you, Ms. Badu:

In response to the backlash, Jaclyn Hill released a statement apologizing for the quality issues and promising to address the concerns. She acknowledged that the formula of the dark shades in the palette required improvement and assured her followers that steps will be taken to rectify the situation. Additionally, she promised to learn from the experience and make necessary changes to avoid similar issues in the future. Despite the controversy, it's important to acknowledge that Jaclyn Hill had previously achieved success with her previous product launches, such as her collaboration with Morphe for the Jaclyn Hill palette. This helped solidify her reputation as a beauty expert and increased her credibility within the industry. The Jaclyn Hill Dark Magic Eyeshadow Palette controversy serves as a reminder of the challenges and risks that come with launching a new product. It highlights the importance of thorough quality control and transparent communication with customers in order to maintain trust and loyalty. Jaclyn Hill's response to the situation will ultimately determine the impact it has on her career and brand reputation moving forward..
