Skinnygirl brand (Bethenny Frankel)

I saw a line of beauty products of hers at Walmart yesterday.  Stuff like lip gloss, plumper, skin products, there was even lip scrub (can't say I've ever used a lip scrub).  I was surprised, although I think she's very savvy and probably pretty good at marketing.

I just looked it up, and I guess it's only at Walmart.

Re: Skinnygirl brand (Bethenny Frankel)

  • huh. I had no idea she was expanding into cosmetics.

     

  • I've only tried her skinnygirl margarita and I wasn't a fan.  It's kind of scarred me to her other products.

    Agree.  Also I compared the calories in her skinny girl sangria to several wines and it had more calories than all of them.

  • I like the margaritas, but I don't think I'll be using her beauty products and time soon.

  • I wish she would just stick to nutrition-related things like food, drinks, etc.

    She kind of loses credibility when she expands to cosmetics IMO. What is she going to come out with next? A perfume?

  • She's getting a talk show on Fox.  Has this been discussed already?  I feel like she's into too much stuff now.  Like, she's an expert on everything.  I "like" her on FB and she's always spouting off about some new thing she's coming out with, endorsing, or teaching.  I do love her, but I feel like she's too much right now.
  • I haven't tried the Skinnygirl stuff, but I do love lip scrubs! Although, I use a soft toothbrush and vaseline more often than that because it's cheaper.

    I saw that about the talk show.  And you are right, whats next?  I hope its at least a little bit about eating healthy etc. Thats where she did start after all.

    This is exactly how I feel.. I love her and her show with her husband and baby, and I LOVE her drinks! Even my H loves the margarita, and I love the Cosmo as well. But I feel like her branching out into skincare kind of takes away from the "skinnygirl" image. How does using her skin care line help you live a healthier lifestyle? It just doesn't make sense, and it's starting to remind me of the Kardashians where they'll just put their name on anything and everything. But no where near as bad of course!

  • I have only tried the margarita and I was not a fan.

    I agree, though that I don't see how this fits her brand. I would love to see more food/nutrition related items as it would fit with Skinny Girl.

  • I love it when someone like her has a show, where she only wants the best brands etc. but thinks the rest of us want to go to Walmart to buy cheap crap because it has her name on it. 
  • I think she should stick to what she knows. Right now, like everyone else is saying, she has her hand in too many pots. I think she is just trying to make as much money as possible.
