Glow like a Kardashian with these skincare products

There’s one thing that you know all the Kardashians are experts on… and it’s not luxury mansions or the best salads in Los Angeles. It’s beauty! The legendary reality TV family is all about makeup and skincare, and their Instagram profiles and bank accounts prove it.

Kim Kardashian West. Aliases include: selfie queen, the wife of Pablo, KiKi, and the woman who single handily ruined Taylor (snake) Swift’s career (too extreme? Sorry you can tell I have some serious bias. But it’s my blog and not the New York Times so bias is allowed. Sorry not so sorry).   I don’t know if it’s my millennial wiring or just my natural affinity for fake-tanned reality tv stars but, I am unapologetically obsessed with Kim Kardashian West. I know, you’re probably rolling your eyes and assuming that I am a narrow-minded, narcissistic, air head who says such sentences as “Kim Kardashian is the ultimate feminist icon” and “Kylie is, like, so the most influential, role model of this century” while I sip a soy, chai latte and snapchat pictures of my new Uggs.  But no, you have me all wrong. Ok, maybe you just have me a little bit wrong (what? Uggs are really comfortable!). But let me explain myself in a post I wish to entitle– Kim Kardashian: The reasons she is great and doesn’t deserve the amount of hate she receives. 

Kim Kardashian first appeared on our screens in the 2000s as Paris Hilton’s stylist (I use screens loosely because Paris Hilton was famous during the time of Motorola razors and the iBook Clamshell). Kim’s launch to stardom happened in 2007 when her sex tape with Ray J, singer of such masterpieces as “I Hit It First”, got leaked to the world. This brings me to the first reason why Kim is the best. After having this incredibly private moment shared with the entire world, Kim didn’t move to a remote island and shut herself away from the gross people who insisted on profiting from demeaning her. No way. Instead, she used the $5 million she received in the lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment to launch Keeping Up with the Kardashians – aka the best thing about Sunday nights – subsequently creating the empire of the Kardashians and introducing new words into our daily lexicon such as “bible” and “momager”.
