On Wednesday, a woman named Taryn Elise, who goes by @voltaireon on Twitter, shared photos of herself that she says she took after getting into a car accident. While the Mini Cooper in her photos appears to have been wrecked in the alleged crash, her lipstick seems to have held up just fine.

In her tweet, Elise addressed anyone who might be "curious about how well Jeffree Star lipstick holds up," and said her $18 Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in the shade "Unicorn Blood" managed to last throughout the accident.

 

As her tweet went viral, Elise told her Twitter followers that she wasn't seriously injured.

"I am doing OK! Still shook but am in my doctor's office waiting for an examination," she wrote. "I definitely feel it but am so thankful for all the lovely messages!"

Some people tweeted Elise and told her they loved her unconventional makeup review, while others complimented her beauty skills.

Two other Twitter users claimed they also wore Jeffree Star Cosmetics products when they got into separate accidents

Like Elise, their makeup appeared to be flawless afterwards.

Elise's viral tweet didn't go unnoticed by Jeffree Star. The beauty mogul reached out to his fan on Twitter and said he is "so glad" that she's safe. He also offered to gift her a free eye-shadow palette.

"Holy s---!!!! So glad that you're safe and OK," Star wrote. "DM me, would love to send you a #BlueBlood palette to cheer you up!"

 

Taryn Elise did not immediately reply to INSIDER's request for comment.
