I spent $200 on Kim Kardashian’s Skims – what I liked and what I didn’t, it squished my boobs down too much
JUSTIFYING high prices is a risky business, especially when you’re online shopping.
One shopper spent $200 on just three Skims items and needed to return one after it felt like her chest was being smashed down.
The allure of the Skims brand stems from the promise behind its worth – and Kim Kardashian’s ownership.
Whether it’s their shockingly small shapewear or the viral maxi dress, women rave about these items snatching them like never before.
YouTuber Fiona Frills had to try the brand out for herself.
She posted a video haul reviewing the three Skims items she bought for $200: a little black bodycon dress, a blue ultra-cropped top, and a bandeau bra.

“This dress looks like it’s going to snatch me. Let’s see if it’s true, and I hope it is because this was so expensive,” Fiona says as she changes into the $88 Swim Tank Dress.
She quickly realizes you can’t go wrong with an LBD, and this Skims one is perfectly snug.
“This is so flattering. What? I feel like this is really cute,” Fiona admits.
Fiona slips into the Skims $42 Fits Everybody Super Cropped T-Shirt.

“This is actually really, really cute. I like how it lifts everything,” she proclaims.
“But this with flash would be a dangerous site. I’m going to pretend it’s fine because it was so expensive.”
The last item in her haul is a little more troublesome and uncomfortable.
Fiona squeezes into the $28 Fits Everybody Bandeau Bra in a small.
“I think it might be a little small. I was really thinking about going with a medium, and I think I should have,” she says.
Fiona suggests only getting the bandeau top if you size up, otherwise, it’s way too tight.
“Oh my god,” she breathes out as she tries to adjust the bandeau.
A disappointing comment was left on Fiona’s video.
“I love that dress but I got the same one from Shein for only $10 so I’d definitely say that u could have gotten a cheaper version,” one user wrote.
Others agreed that the black dress was the star of the show.
“LBD’s will always be in style girl. You look adorable,” another supportive fashion fan commented.
