Kylie Jenner has been accused of charging consumers US$117 for a [cardboard box".
Kylie Cosmetics, which is co-owned by Coty, is selling a Birthday PR Box for $175 and includes the brand`s three-piece Birthday Lip Crayon Set and Lip Gloss Set.
However, the brand`s Birthday Bundle, featuring the same Birthday Lip Crayon and Lip Gloss Set, is currently available on kyliecosmetics.com for $58.
Despite the $117 price disparity, the only difference appears to be an outer pink cardboard box for the Birthday PR Box.
[Girl, don`t do it, it`s not worth it," warned Bethenny Frankel, founder of SkinnyGirl and The Real Housewives star, her 2.8 million Instagram followers in a video.
The entrepreneur then went on to compare the two beauty sets, holding them up to the camera.
[I thought something had to be different, there is something different, this has a box that you`re going to throw in the garbage – unless you have a hamster that you`re going to put in here."
The disgruntled reality television star highlighted that Kylie Cosmetics does not accept returns so she is [stuck with a $117 cardboard box" and described the Birthday PR Box as a [scam".
Frankel`s Instagram post has received more than 40,000 `likes`, meanwhile, her original TikTok video, posted in August, has been viewed one million times.
