People say their lips have become swollen after using lipstick from Jaclyn Cosmetics

Speaking to INSIDER, a customer named Kristy Lynn said she attempted to purchase the entire range of Jaclyn Cosmetics lipsticks when it launched, but was only able to buy 10 shades as the rest sold out quickly.

Once her package arrived, according to Lynn, she noticed the shade "That Girl" appeared to be packaged "a little sideways," though the other nine appeared to be fine. After swatching the lipstick, Lynn says it broke completely.

After applying the shade and wearing it for a few hours, Lynn said she noticed her arm and chin "breaking out."

"When I ended up swatching all 10 [lipsticks] on my wrist, my arm broke out in a rash and became itchy and red," Lynn told INSIDER. "The lipstick 'That Girl' also broke in half when I swatched it on my wrist."

As a "longtime fan" of Hill, Lynn said she feels "kind of sad" after using lipsticks from the brand.

"I own many of [Jaclyn Hill's] products and I've gone to see her at a mall in Tampa, Florida, for a Morphe Cosmetics ribbon cutting [ceremony]," Lynn said. "I was excited for [the lipsticks]. She said she was working on these for a long time, so I just don't understand how she doesn't know what she put out."

Now, people are signing a petition against Jaclyn Cosmetics

The petition was created on Monday, and, at the time of this post, has more than 13,000 signatures.

"After countless complaints and a compiled number of photographic evidence, it is safe to say the chances of receiving a 'normal' Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics So Rich Lipstick is incredibly slim," the petition's description reads. "Action needs to be taken before someone is harmed by the unknown substance affecting the products."

"Since the company had yet to put out a statement recalling the product, it is only right that we as consumers request that further investigation be done to ensure the safety of the product going forward," the petition description continues.

Previously, many customers said lipsticks they'd ordered arrived damaged, and, in some cases, completely broken

While some people said their lipstick was damaged upon opening, others said their products broke after a single use.

In a statement previously sent to INSIDER, a spokesperson for Jaclyn Cosmetics said 'less than half of one percent of orders were impacted by compromised product'

"The response to the launch of Jaclyn Cosmetics has been incredible," a spokesperson for Jaclyn Cosmetics previously said to INSIDER in a statement. "Of the incredible volume of orders that were placed at launch, we believe less than half of one percent of orders were impacted by compromised product."

"We are keeping an eye on the Jaclyn Cosmetics social channels and [email protected], and welcome all feedback. We love our customers and are proud of our successful launch."

On Tuesday, Hill said she will be sharing more information about her lipsticks 'very soon'

"I plan on breaking my silence and addressing the issues regarding my lipsticks very soon," Hill wrote on Twitter. "I have been working hard to gather all of the facts and details so I can give you accurate answers. I appreciate you allowing me time to wrap my head around all of this & investigate."
