The LAPD conducted a raid on 21 locations in the Santee Alley shopping area in Los Angeles' Fashion District last week and seized a whopping $700,000 worth of counterfeit products.
Disgustingly, tests on the products show that they contain high levels of bacteria and human waste.
The police force shared pictures of the fake lip kits and other cosmetics, falsely advertised as being made by the reality star, as well as other fake versions of popular make-up brands.
Captain Marc Reina tweeted: "Busted! Major Task Force hits 21 locations in the @LAFashionDist and nets $700,000 in Counterfeit cosmetics found to contain bacteria and human waste. The best price is not always the best deal! #ProtectingOurCommunity"
Officers conducted similar raids in February after customers took to social media to complain about getting rashes and bumps on their skin after using the products.
The cosmetics tested back then came back positive for high levels of bacteria, and traces of animal faeces and urine.
It's said that the products get contaminated during production when they're made in unsanitary conditions.
