People Are Pissed at Manny MUA & Laura Lee for Pretending to "Buy" Makeup They Got for Free
The flames of beauty blogger drama are a-burning, fueled by internet comments and Morphe makeup brushes.
It all started when beauty boy Manny MUA and fellow YouTuber Laura Lee took a trip to Morphe, a makeup brand they're both paid to rep.
Manny took to Snapchat to show their massive haul, putting particular emphasis on the pile of brushes they were "buying."
The two argued over which person's code they would use at checkout (each has a discount code they distribute to fans to make commission). Manny later posted a photo of the receipt of their shopping spree, but fans noticed that the massive pile of makeup was free – even though they claimed they were "buying" it all multiple times in their Snap takeover.
Many of his followers admit that they purchase Morphe brushes, simply because of Manny's recommendations.

Because of this, fans feel mislead by the beauty vloggers. Many feel that they were given these recommendations so that the influencers could make money off of the purchases – not because the product is actually a favorite.
There's nothing that pisses people off faster than lying to them; don't need to use a code when it's all free! #Morphe #mannymua #lauralee

@RichLux713 omg now MANNYMUA said on his Snaps that the Morphe shit was GIFTED to him and Laura hmmmmmm I am so sick of him ughhhh!

Manny responded, saying that they got the haul for free for a giveaway, while Laura stated on Snapchat that the founder of Morphe showed up surprised gifted them the loot.
Laura Lee is currently doing a massive giveaway, so maybe this has all been blown out of proportion.
