Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand has released a new promotion to help fans get ready for Christmas: an Advent Calendar. However, the product has sparked a few reactions online. Quite a few unboxing videos have seen customers wondering if it’s really worth the price, with it costing a pretty penny.
Kim Kardashian Previously Co-Founded Skims Back In 2019
Fans previously followed Kim and her family’s lives through the E! reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which ran from 2007 to 2021. More recently, viewers have continued to follow the family through the Hulu series, The Kardashians.
Over the years, fans have also followed Kim as she’s pursued other ventures. In 2019, she co-founded Skims, a shapewear, underwear, and loungewear brand.
Recently, Kim’s Skims brand has launched a promotion to help fans get ready for the holiday season. This is the Skims Accessories Advent Calendar, which costs around $148.
The promotion has since gone viral in social media unboxing videos. However, many customers questioned whether what was provided inside was really worth the price.
The Recent Promotion Even Drew A Few Comparisons To The Fyre Festival On Social Media
Such items included hair ties, clips, scrunchies, keychains, a teddy bear, and even a squishy toy. However, some fans questioned the quality, with a clip appearing to break easily after being opened, and some items not even having the logo.
One point of contention was that most of the items appeared to be hair care products, despite Skims not being a hair care brand. Others felt that the items seemed like things that would be much cheaper to purchase individually, especially when compared to items that could be purchased on the Skims website.
Overall, fans took to social media to discuss the products. Some even made a few comparisons to other promotions that seemed too good to be true, with some comparisons to the Fyre Festival. Others made comparisons to other Advent Calendars. A few comments included:
- “Mind you skims isn’t a hair care brand…”
- “Walmart advent calendar for $15 by the way.”
- “I feel like Kim’s just cleaning her closet.”
- “150 dollars for stuff you can get at dollar tree for 15 bucks.”
- “She has so many cute accessories on her website too: beanies, socks, scarfs, claw clips. Like this is highway robbery”
- “Packaging is cute and then it’s all just disappointment. I think they spent more on the packaging than the items?!?”
- “Bobby pins and hair ties…. awesome.”
- “A chocolate advent calendar more exciting.”
- “Fyre Festival of Advent Calendars.”
- “Baby that’s SKAMS.”
