An Australian makeup artist and beauty influencer has called Kim Kardashian<\/a> West’s shapewear company ‘disappointing’ after purchasing over $800 worth of product.<\/p>\n

Lauren Curtis, who is based in Perth<\/a>, Western Australia, bought crop tops, t-shirts, bras and bike shorts from the iconic Skims brand, hoping they would match other minimalist pieces in her wardrobe and ‘suck in her stomach area’.<\/p>\n

But the 26-year-old was left disheartened by the price of shipping Down Under, how certain styles sat on her waist and how difficult it is to make returns.<\/p>\n

Kim Kardashian West (centre) has been working on her shapewear company for close to a decade<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘I spent over AUD$800 on her website and still had to pay $35 for full price shipping to Australia. I was shocked. I don’t want to sound like a spoiled brat but I think that is so gross and greedy,’ she said in a YouTube<\/a> video.<\/p>\n

With Kardashian believed to have spent $10million on the first drop, and promising to sell colours and sizes for women of all shapes, Lauren was initially excited to put them to the test.<\/p>\n

Things started off well with Skims’ range of comfortable T-shirt bras ($76AUD) proving to be a ‘win’ for the pint-sized blonde.<\/p>\n

However she did claim they looked remarkably similar to Victoria’s Secret lingerie, with appropriate padding to prevent her nipples from showing through on a cold day.<\/p>\n

The process of finding your size online was also exhausting and difficult to understand. <\/p>\n

Lauren wasn’t so fond of the cotton rib tank ($49AUD) in the bone colour because it didn’t lift her pale complexion and the sheer bodysuit ($79AUD) didn’t hold in her stomach<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lauren liked the high waisted bike shorts ($144AUD) because of their heavy duty fabric and ability to stay in place even when you’re moving around.<\/p>\n

‘But it does cut into the squishy part of my leg which wouldn’t be flattering if I was wearing a dress,’ she said.<\/p>\n

She wasn’t so fond of the cotton rib tank ($49AUD) in the bone colour because it didn’t lift her pale complexion and the sheer bodysuit ($79AUD) didn’t hold in her stomach as it was supposed to.<\/p>\n

‘It makes my boobs look like they’re a weird shape,’ she said of the sexy black bodysuit.<\/p>\n

In some of the pieces her body ‘spilled out of the sides’ and she was hoping to return a few of the items to America.<\/p>\n

But that’s when she encountered another problem: There is a $6 ‘restock fee’ alongside the normal $35 shipping tax to send back the items.<\/p>\n

Lauren almost considered not sending them back to save some of her hard-earned cash.<\/p>\n

Despite Lauren’s criticisms Kardashian’s Skims business is on track to become a billion-dollar business – just like younger sister Kylie Jenner’s makeup brand.<\/p>\n

TMZ<\/a> reported: ‘Kim’s massive restock release on Wednesday was actually more successful than the initial launch… netting millions in just minutes. <\/p>\n

‘We’re told that over a million people were on the wait list for the restock, and that almost instantly… the most popular sizes and styles sold out.’<\/p>\n
