Sampling Tips

• Test on skin, not paper. Fragrance chemistry changes with your body heat, and a strip will only show you the top notes.
• Try one scent per wrist per day so your nose doesn't get overwhelmed.
• Wait at least four hours before judging a perfume; the dry-down is often what you'll actually wear.
• Keep the vials upright in a cool, dark drawer to protect the fragrance.

SKIMS Beauty, the makeup, skincare and fragrance line from Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS, will launch in 2027, a year later than originally planned. Status: Partially confirmed. SKIMS has not announced the exact launch date, prices, product line-up or retailers. Kardashian, SKIMS' co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, gave the new timeline on X on 22 September 2026. SKIMS Beauty will be her third beauty venture, after KKW Beauty and SKKN by Kim.

When Will SKIMS Beauty Launch?

SKIMS hasn't announced an official release date. On 22 September 2026, a fan on X asked Kardashian when SKIMS Beauty was coming. She replied "Next year" and added that she couldn't wait for fans to see it. SKIMS had previously said the line would launch products in 2026, and no reason has been given for the delay. On the Call Her Daddy podcast in October 2025, Kardashian said: "The one thing I'm really excited about is SKIMS Beauty. That is coming next, and that's gonna be so major."

SKIMS Beauty Price

SKIMS has not announced prices for SKIMS Beauty in any market.

What We Know About the Products

SKIMS has not announced the product range, formulas or shades. So far, the following has been reported:

• Makeup, skincare and fragrance will all sit under the SKIMS Beauty umbrella.
• In June 2026, SKIMS released clothing in a limited-edition print by artist Aurel Schmidt. The print shows motifs of a lipstick, lip liner, makeup brushes and concealer that recall KKW Beauty products, redrawn with SKIMS branding.

Beauty influencer Glamzilla (Stephanie Valentine) pointed to the Classic Hoodie in the 'Snow In My Bag' colourway as an example of the prints referencing past products. Once the line launches, it will join the other celebrity-led releases we track on our makeup releases page. One example is the Kay Beauty Hydra Luscious Lip Gloss Stain from the brand Katrina Kaif co-owns with Nykaa.

• UK: Not yet confirmed
• Europe: Not yet confirmed

What Makes SKIMS Beauty Different?

• It will cover makeup, skincare and fragrance under one name, where SKKN by Kim was relaunched from the cosmetics brand KKW Beauty.
• It is the first time Kardashian's clothing, skincare, cosmetics and fragrance businesses sit under one company, following SKIMS' March 2025 acquisition of SKKN by Kim.
• Product creation is led by Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye, founder of Ami Colé, who joined SKIMS as EVP of Beauty & Fragrance in November 2025.

What the Brand Says

When it acquired SKKN by Kim in March 2025, SKIMS said it would "open its doors to expand into beauty, skincare, and fragrance, leveraging Kardashian's proven expertise to redefine these categories with SKIMS global and retail DTC footprint." According to the company, SKIMS is "poised to reshape the beauty and fragrance industry as it has apparel".

How It Compares with Previous Releases

Kardashian launched KKW Beauty in 2017. SKIMS credits it with sparking a "contouring revolution". In 2022 the brand was relaunched as SKKN by Kim. In March 2025, SKIMS bought Kardashian's majority holding and Coty's minority stake in SKKN by Kim for an undisclosed sum, and SKKN by Kim closed in June 2025.

N'Diaye-Mbaye was appointed in November 2025. She is in charge of product creation and SKIMS Beauty's strategic direction.

SKIMS' Wider Expansion

In November 2025, SKIMS completed a $225 million funding round led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The round valued the company at $5 billion, and SKIMS forecast net sales of more than $1 billion for 2025 at the time. The brand opened its first standalone UK flagship on London's Regent Street in July 2026, and a second UK store at Westfield London is scheduled for 2027.

SKIMS has also tested beauty-adjacent products. Its limited-edition hairbrush collection with Tangle Teezer sold out in two hours in the US and later launched in the UK. In 2025, the brand released the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, a bandage-style product designed for the jawline, which drew criticism online.

Lil Miss Wonderful Products

Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk ($36)

This is a lightweight version of Fenty Skin's Butta Drop body cream. According to Fenty Skin, the milky texture absorbs quickly and leaves a satin finish that is "never sticky or heavy." It is Fenty Skin's second recent body-and-face hydration launch after the Fenty Skin Quench Kit at Sephora, a $45 set of hydrating minis.

Allover Body Mist ($35 full / $20 mini)

The mist comes in a 175 mL standard size and a 75 mL mini. Fenty describes the Allover Body Mist line as "layered, unexpected scents" to switch with the wearer's mood. On Fenty's Allover Body Mist page, Lil Miss Wonderful is listed alongside Tropic Trip, Green Raspberry, Vanilla Flowers and Hey, Bouquet.

Fenty Skin Lil Miss Wonderful Fragrance Notes

According to Fenty, the Allover Body Mist pyramid is:

• Top: Pink pepper, candied apple, blackcurrant sorbet
• Heart: Pear blossom, peony, purple freesia
• Base: Caramel, vanilla cream, tonka

What Does Fenty Skin Lil Miss Wonderful Smell Like?

Going by the official notes, it opens on fruit: candied apple and blackcurrant sorbet with pink pepper. It moves to a floral heart of pear blossom, peony and purple freesia, then settles on caramel, vanilla cream and tonka. Fenty Skin calls it "scent from above—a sweet and angelic floral gourmand." The fragrance database Fragrantica classifies it as a floral fruity fragrance featuring candied apple, peony and freesia. More launches like it are collected on our fragrance releases page.

• Other markets: Fenty Beauty says it can ship internationally via Express Shipping only. Availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the Lil Miss Wonderful Scent Different?

• The same scent comes in two body formats: a hydrating body milk and an alcohol-based body mist.
• The mist is offered in two sizes, 175 mL and a 75 mL mini, at $35 and $20 (US).
• The official pyramid pairs a fruity top (candied apple, blackcurrant sorbet) with a gourmand base of caramel, vanilla cream and tonka.

Formula and Packaging

According to Fenty Skin, the body milk contains:

• Kalahari melon, baobab and coconut oils
• Shea, mango and cocoa butters
• Barbados cherry (acerola) extract

The brand cites a 1-week clinical study on 54 people:

• It boosted the moisture barrier by 41%.
• 98% agreed it leaves skin soft and supple.
• 96% agreed it absorbs quickly.

Fenty says the body milk is for all skin types. The Allover Body Mist bottle has a "wave base" that Fenty says is inspired by sneaker soles and is removable for recycling. Fenty lists both products as vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.

Kayali's Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 is a gourmand Eau de Parfum Intense built around pistachio gelato, hazelnut, sweet rum, marshmallow, whipped cream and cotton candy. Our March 2023 post listed only those notes without naming the fragrance, and they match this scent.

What Does It Smell Like?

Kayali's full note pyramid is:

• Top: pistachio gelato, hazelnut, Italian bergamot, sweet rum, cardamom
• Middle: white peach, muguet, jasmine, raspberry, white peony, green pear, geranium
• Base: whipped cream, marshmallow, cotton candy, Turkish delight, cocoa, cedarwood, sandalwood, tonka

Kayali describes "a delicious explosion of irresistible and edible notes" with an "unforgettably intense, gourmand scent trail."

Our take: the base of whipped cream, marshmallow and cotton candy is what makes it read as a dessert scent. The floral middle (peach, jasmine, peony) may soften the sweetness for some wearers, though we haven't worn it.

The 1.5 mL size is a cheap way to test a fragrance this sweet before buying a full bottle.

What Does the "33" Mean?

Search results for Kayali's site describe the number as a nod to the 33 rounds of formulation the brand says it took to reach the balance of warmth and sweetness. We couldn't confirm that on the page we read.

What Is Confirmed, and What Is Not?

Confirmed: the notes, sizes, prices, concentration and stock status come from Kayali's product page.

Not confirmed: the launch price in March 2023, and whether the notes have changed. The page showed no rating or review count.

September 21, 2026 update: we re-checked the notes and prices. The 100 mL size was out of stock with a pre-order option.
