Kim Kardashian’s latest Skims release is facing criticism online, with some customers questioning whether its pricey advent.
The product has become a talking point on social media after a TikTok creator shared her reaction to opening its compartments.
The Skims calendar is advertised on the brand’s website as offering “a dozen reasons to celebrate” and “twelve days of fun surprises.”
However, not everyone has been impressed with what they received.
TikTok user @wetsloppyswollen documented herself opening the calendar, initially describing some of the contents as “cute.” But as she continued revealing the surprises, her enthusiasm appeared to fade.
Among the items she discovered were a keychain, hair ties, hair pins and a foam squishy toy. The creator also expressed concern about how much she had paid for the collection.
“I’m about to get p***** off. Kimberly, you’re genuinely about to p*** me off,” she said, according to Tyla, adding: “This is way too expensive for this.”
By the time she reached the final compartment, she was clearly expecting something particularly impressive.
“And it better me made of gold,” she said.
Instead, the last surprise turned out to be a furry compact mirror keychain.

Her reaction quickly sparked a discussion in the comments.
“$150 is WILD for maaaaybe $20 worth of stuff,” one commenter wrote, according to Tyla.
Another compared the items to miscellaneous objects that end up forgotten in a car, saying they were “basically everything that falls between my car seats.”
Still, not everyone thought the criticism was entirely fair.
Some defended the concept of advent calendars, arguing that the daily surprises are meant to be a small part of the holiday experience rather than one major Christmas present.
“An advent calendar is not the big gift,” one person pointed out.
The commenter added that opening a little surprise each morning should bring a sense of “joy,” rather than be judged as though the calendar were intended to replace a traditional Christmas gift.
Others argued that customers had enough information before making their purchase.
“They listed everything inside the box,” one person wrote.
“wtf do we expect for £158 when the fucking products are like 30 bucks a pop…. As a consumer you need to be aware of what you are buying please I beg,” another commented.
