Jennifer Lopez admits 'some' celebrity brands aren't 'worth the hype'
The 55-year-old star has been busy answering some fan questions about her JLo Beauty brand, and acknowledged that some people are justifiably sceptical about famous faces lending their names to products.
In an Instagram video, she addressed a question from a fan who said: "I tend to think celebrity skincare is not worth the hype."
She replied: "Some of it isn't. It's luxury skincare that is clinically tested and trust me, I don't cut corners."
The Jenny From The Block hitmaker was also asked about how some producers are "too expensive", but she insisted it's worth the investment if you can afford it.
She said: "Listen, I get it.
"Your skin is something that you have to show up with every single day. So, if there is a little bit of splurge in you, I would say do it on skincare, without a doubt.
Other fans heaped praise on the brand, noting her moistueriser "feels like silk".
J-Lo explained: "We want it to be like cashmere for your face, but make it clinically tested."
And when another user insisted JLo Beauty "actually works", she replied: "Yeah, that was the point. You thought, what? I came to play? No."
The singer and actress also shrugged off the idea she only uses her producers "just when the cameras are off", and revealed she was actually filming the video in her own bathroom.
She laughed: "That's funny because I'm standing in my actual bathroom right now. No, I use it. I use it every day."
JLo Beauty launched in 2021, initially with eight products although others have been introducted over the years.
She previously told PEOPLE (The Show!): "Everywhere I went, I felt like everybody was always asking me about my skin. And as I got more mature, the questions came more often.
"It was actually very nice, but I realised that it was almost like an obligation. Like I had to put out a skincare line for everybody who was asking."

Billy Joel 'resisted' making documentaries about his life
Billy Joel has always "resisted" making documentaries about his career. The Piano Man singer explained that he has been hesitant to let the public into his life as he is "sick" of talking about himself before he agreed to the making of the two-part HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes. In an interview with People, Billy said: "I've resisted this kind of thing for so long. I'm sick of talking about myself. Some of the stupid stuff I did, that's painful to talk about. (But) they asked me for some thematic guidance. I said, 'Just tell the truth.'" The documentary delves into how the Uptown Girl hitmaker has overcome substance abuse, failed marriages and mental health struggles during his lengthy career and Billy found the process "self-revelatory". The 76-year-old singer - who has daughter Alexa, 39, from his marriage to model Christie Brinkley, as well as Della, nine, and Remy, seven, from his relationship with current spouse Alexis Roderick - said: "There was some stuff I found out about myself. There was some self-revelatory stuff." Joel admits that he initially just wanted to get the documentary, which features contributions from his family and friends, "over with" as he is so reluctant to talk about himself. He said: "My goal was to get it over with. "When I do interviews, people just ask you about yourself and you get a little self-conscious about it eventually. It's almost embarrassing. "When you're talking about your personal life detached from the material... I suppose there's a little bit of wariness involved." The We Didn't Start the Fire singer feared that he would "hate" the film as it revisited some of the unhappier times in his life but he didn't feel that way when he watched the finished documentary. Billy - who has reassured fans he is "okay" after being diagnosed with the treatable brain condition normal pressure hydrocephalus in May, which forced him to cancel his upcoming concerts - explained: "You realise sometimes you were a jerk and you did something stupid or you were wrong, or you were mean and you didn't mean to be. Although I always maintain that the only original thing any of us really does is make mistakes. "I was worried, maybe I'm going to hate this thing, because it's a lot to ask of somebody, a lifetime of work. (But) at the end, I didn't hate it, which, to me, is the real compliment."

Nicole Kidman's niece begs for a job after ‘risky' move to London
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nicole Kidman's niece is on the job hunt after making a 'risky' move from Australia to London. Lucia Hawley begged for 'someone to hire [her] please' while describing her relocation via Substack on Monday, per Page Six. 'On paper, this is a totally stupid decision, and honestly, frightens me,' the 26-year-old wrote, explaining that she has a 'risk-averse' personality. 'My body quite literally rejects the idea of both moving overseas being unemployed,' she continued. Hawley recently relocated to the UK. Picture: Instagram She admitted she'd struggled with the 'risky' move. Picture: Instagram However, Lucia admitted that she'd experienced a 'difficult' six months in her career while 'lack[ing] direction and fac[ing] numerous rejections in the pursuit of something better.' She wrote, 'This period was pretty taxing on my confidence, and I eventually began to feel like there was just simply not much left for me in Sydney (at least for now).'

Morgan/Getty Images The former 7Bravo host, who is one of Kidman's sister Antonia Kidman's four children with late husband Angus Hawley, called the life change a 'traumatic' one. 'Saying goodbye to Henry was incredibly difficult,' Lucia wrote of her boyfriend. 'Sometimes I am left baffled by his unwavering support and blind belief in me, championing everything I do,' she gushed of her partner. 'This kind of love — true, safe love — makes you feel like you can do anything. 'Even harder were the goodbyes to my family,' Lucia continued. 'I kissed my little brothers through floods of tears.' Hawley admitted she was in 'floods of tears' as she left Australia. Picture: Instagram Nonetheless, the choice remains 'exciting' and 'freeing' for Nicole's family member. 'I believe home to be a feeling,' she told readers. 'Having a strong network of people who support you is what truly enables you to navigate the world with confidence and self-assurance.' With loved ones backing her, 'failing can seem so much less inconsequential,' Lucia explained. She concluded by pointing out that 'if it all fails, [she will] always have home.' Lucia is close with her famous aunt, and they recently enjoyed a family vacation in Croatia. This article originally appeared in Page Six and was reproduced with permission.
