The answer is YES! Laura Hunter, our CEO and founder, invented magnetic eyeliner in February of 2018 and immediately filed for multiple patents on it. We first offered it for sale in March of 2018 under the LashLiner™ brand, and sold in small batches. In July and August 2018 we launched a KickStarter campaign, and quickly sold over $58,000 USD of LashLiner Magnetic Eyeliner.
Other companies, large and small, have secretly bought our products, tried to copy them and have brought them to market - some even including unsubstantiated claims of being "patent-pending" or "The World's First Magnetic Eyeliner". We believe this kind of behavior is highly unethical and possibly criminal.
There is also a host of extremely disreputable companies that have gone a step further by stealing our images, videos and packaging. The worst of them actually uses videos of our Founder and CEO, Laura Hunter, in their ads. We are working diligently, with our legal team to remove these ads and bar these deceptive companies from selling our product or using our images.
