Kim Kardashian's Fragrance Sold Out in Days, But There's Still a Way to Buy It


It hasn’t even been a week since Kim Kardashian dropped her KKW Beauty fragrances, and already the entire line is sold out. But all hope isn’t lost for those of us who still want to smell like a Kardashian. In what may be a Thanksgiving miracle, the full collection is coming back…very soon.

Because of the fragrance collection’s overwhelming success (and because Kris Jenner and Kardashian are undeniably brilliant businesswomen), the KKW Beauty team has decided to launch a restock of all three fragrances. They’re coming back online on Thursday, November 23, at 6 P.M. PST—yes, as in tomorrow.

The collection featured three gardenia-scented fragrances—Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Citrus, and Crystal Gardenia Oud—and was originally slated as a limited-edition collection. Considering this is a Kardashian brand we’re talking about, it didn’t last long at the hands of eager shoppers across the internet. The initial 300,000 units that were available for sale sold out in six days, which is actually an eternity in Kardashian time, considering Kim’s first product, her KKW Beauty Contour and Highlight Kits, sold out in a lightning speed to 2.5 hours.

That’s not to say the perfume wasn’t a serious hit, though: In its first day on the market, it brought in $10 million worth of sales, even though people were buying the products without even knowing what they smelled like. (Which is hyper feminine and extremely floral, for the record. Most of our editors were honestly impressed with Crystal Gardenia. But to be fair, the ones that did were all floral people.)

The scents retail at $35 for 30-ml and $60 for 75-ml and are all encased in a crystal bottle designed to lay flat—it’s more Instagrammable that way. Kardashian revealed that the crystal-inspired look came from the fact that she leaned on crystals to “find peace” after her robbery in Paris. Developing the scents was a “calm and healing” process for her, and each bottle is meant to evoke the healing powers of different crystals.

So, if you’re still looking for a gift for that friend who lives and dies by her Kimojis (or, no shame, yourself), go ahead and set an alarm now. No one will judge if you have to hit “add to cart” while passing the mashed potatoes tomorrow. Maybe.

Kim Kardashian's Body Insecurities Are So Bad That Kourtney Tried Deleting Her Social Media


Kim Kardashian has been quite open about her body-image issues this season on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Last week, we saw her get visibly upset when a tabloid ran candid bikini shots of her from a vacation in Mexico. “You take pictures and people just body-shame you,” she said. “It’s like literally giving me body dysmorphia.”

And she opened up more about her insecurities during last night’s episode. “When will they stop with this story? You definitely get a thick skin once you have been through it a lot, but pictures just keep coming up every day and they just won’t let it go. I know I can handle anything and everything, and if I can’t handle it…who can?” she said. “I just am in the house so much that I get so freaked out if anyone like, looks at me. [It’s a] full phobia—I freak out about everything. Why do I subject myself to being seen? Why don’t I just stay at home?”

Kim’s sisters, Kourtney and Khloé, blame social media for a lot of her insecurities. “It consumes you and it affects you,” Kourtney told Kim in the episode last night. “You just need to live your life. Why do you need to see this nonsense?”

But the sisters did more than just confront Kim about the issue. They straight-up tried to delete apps off her phone. In a clip from the episode, which we included below, Kourtney and Khloé set up a plan to distract Kim so they can wipe her phone clean of what they call “the bullshit.”

“Kim is normally not this insecure,” Khloé says before Kourtney adds, “If she just didn’t have access to social media or stopped looking at the blogs, I think that she would start to feel better.”

“I feel like one of the best things [Kim did for herself] after her Paris incident was she really detached herself from the Internet and social media,” Khloé said. “We really need to step in.”

So do they succeed in their plan? Watch to find out:

Kim Kardashian's Response to Trump's Puerto Rico Tweets Is the Message He Needs to Hear


You know things are bad when Kim Kardashian tweets at the president with a poignant message we’d all like him to hear. To nobody’s surprise, President Trump took to Twitter this weekend to praise his handling of relief efforts in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico after the federal government’s response was severely criticized for essentially being too little, too late.

Amid a stream of tweets bolstering his own image and going after the media, Trump had a message for the people of Puerto Rico: “Do not believe the Fake News!” A rather thoughtless comment to make to 3.4 million people who don’t have electricity or water, not to mention cell service or internet access. As the rest of us face-palmed and shook our heads in frustration, fellow frequent tweeter (and fellow reality star) Kardashian shot off a response that actually has a chance of crossing the president’s radar.

“They don’t have power to watch the news!!! Please stop tweeting & golfing while people are dying! Please step up & help!” she wrote.

Nailed it. While the accuracy of the media coverage of the situation in Puerto Rico is important to those of us feeling helpless watching from afar, it’s likely not on the top of residents’ minds. Basic necessities like running water and electricity are still far from being restored for most of the island’s citizens.

And while it might be easy to turn the tables on Kim and say that her tweets aren’t really helping either, she and the rest of the Kardashians have donated their fair share in response to Hurricane Harvey, the earthquake in Mexico, and Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

Plus, Kim has encouraged her nearly 56 million followers to donate—and they have.

Given that Twitter has been Kim’s outlet of choice to comment on rumors surrounding the surge of baby news in her family, we’ve been paying close attention to her feed. And this clapback isn’t all that different from her others—it just happens to be pointed directly at the president of the United States. And when Kim Kardashian is pleading with Trump to quit tweeting about nonsense and do something helpful, you know things are bad. But we hope he listens.

Kim Kardashian's Next Collaboration Is All About Tasteful Nudes

What, you thought Kim Kardashian would end her coffee table book career with Selfish? She was only just getting started on her global bookshelf domination.

In a surprise social media announcement, Kardashian teased her newest creative outing alongside the provocative and hyper-realistic photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Titled Night Bird, little is actually known about the collaboration except for the fact it’s due out on September 7 via Taschen, and that it features Kardashian completely nude in at least one photo. (Mert and Marcus, as they prefer to be called, specialize in nude portraits, as witnessed most recently with a portfolio they did with Kate Moss for W.)

“So honored to have been photographed by Mert and Marcus for their new book!” Kardashian wrote on Instagram. “20 years in the making!” In the shared photo, Kardashian is completely naked except for a pair of combat boots and star pasties covering her nipples (most likely to fall in line with Instagram’s nudity policy)—and she’s also climbing a tree, naturally. Alas posted on Instagram with a slightly different version of the photograph: “NIGHT BIRD ? One of the pages from our new book with @kimkardashian.”

Even if you’re only vaguely familiar with Kardashian, you’ll know that she proudly loves to share nude or semi-nude photographs of herself on social media. While some people have slut-shamed her in the past about this, Kardashian (rightfully) believes it’s her choice in the way she empowers and displays her body.

“I never understand why people get so bothered by what other people choose to do with their lives. I don’t do drugs, I hardly drink, I’ve never committed a crime—and yet I’m a bad role model for being proud of my body?” she wrote in an open letter last year. “It’s 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming—it’s like, enough is enough. I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me. I am a mother. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entrepreneur and I am allowed to be sexy.”

Preach.
