The much-anticipated makeup and merchandise collaboration between YouTubers Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star has finally launched, and the reaction is
pretty bananas.( Buzz Feed News ).
The two vloggers released two eyeshadow palettes (one called Conspiracy, another called the Mini Controversy) and a collection of lipstick shades, as well as a line of Dawson-branded merchandise through Star's company, Killer Merch.
The buildup to the launch was, in true influencer fashion, a drawn-out affair. For the past month, Dawson has been releasing installments of a series titled The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star. Each of its five episodes has clocked in around an hour, and collectively they have more than 90 million views.
While ostensibly hyped as a sort of documentary series about Star, the videos have also served as a very long promo for Dawson's collection, following its creation from start to finish.
It all launched on Friday and was so popular that the website stopped working — and it appears that Shopify is down, leaving shoppers, Dawson, and Star very upset.
