MANY global fans of Kim Kardashian were furious to discover her new skin care line, SKKN, doesn’t ship to their country.
And many anxious customers learned this only after staying up late, in some cases all night, only to learn the disappointing news.
Kim’s new brand launched Tuesday morning at 12pm ET, and fans started shopping immediately.
While the products are all easily shipped to U.S. homes, some prospective buyers were left with empty shopping carts, when they realized the pricey makeup collection couldn’t ship to their country.
The list of left out nations includes some major global hotspots, including Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Brazil and India.
On the official SKKN Instagram page, angry would-be buyers vented their disappointment.

“Set my alarm for 2:00 am Australian time to purchase this bad boy to only find that you don’t ship to Australia,” one fan posted. “Wow how disappointing!”
Another Aussie added: “SO MANY Australians stayed up to order, only to find out @skkn doesn’t ship to Australia!”
In Brazil, one fan begged: “I can’t buy SKKN because it doesn’t sell to Brazil. Who will send me as a gift?” and included several crying emojis.
After officially introducing the line on June 1, Kim teased what users can expect.

She said that SKKN BY KIM would include a nine-product skincare ritual.
She also said, “You will experience refillable packaging, and clean, science-backed ingredients designed to nourish all skin types, tones, and textures at all stages of maturity.”
The reality mogul stated in a press release: “In all of my business endeavors, I’ve been fueled by my passion to fill gaps in the market with expertly-crafted and universally-loved products that are performance-driven.”
“I have carried this same drive and approach with me into creating a legacy skincare brand.”
THE COST OF CARE
But beauty comes at a price – one which many fans claimed was too much.
Just hours before the big launch, the designer revealed a big price drop.
The “Complete Collection” of all nine products now sells for $575, down from the initial announced retail value of $673.
That’s still a pretty penny for many consumers, who let the star know it in the comments section.
“Just $600? LOL,” one person declared, as another added: “That’s a tank of gas right now!”
A third fan lamented: “Ok for wealthy people only. It figures. What was I thinking of ‘affordability?’”
While one person felt left out: “For some of us this isn’t affordable! That’s too bad. I was super excited about this collection!”
KIM CLAPS BACK
Earlier this month, Kim clapped back at fans who say they “can’t afford” the new skincare line.
In a decidedly candid interview with The New York Times ahead of the launch, she discussed the nine-step product line, calling the high price “a necessity.”
Specifically, she told NYT the $95 face oil will give customers, “the glow of a lifetime.”
The reality star bragged: “The products I was using that were comparable were way more expensive, not to compare anything.

“I tried to get the quality for the best price that we could, especially the vitamin C serum.”
When asked how she will explain the high price to her 315 MILLION Instagram followers, when the majority of them “likely won’t be able to afford it,” she quipped the line is for the “prestigious.”
