Kim Kardashian's Skims face wrap sparks jokes: 'What in the Hannibal'
Kim Kardashian has found a new body part to shape. On Tuesday, July 29, Skims unveiled the seamless sculpt face wrap, a new addition to the clothing brand's shapewear line designed to offer jaw support and marketed as "infused with collagen yarn." The brand calls it a "must-have addition to your nightly routine." The wrap, made of polyamide and elastane, quickly sold out online, according to the Skims website. The skincare-adjacent shapewear is just the latest viral offering from Kardashian. Skims has long offered a unique take on sculpting garments, offering everything from the nipple bra to hip-enhancing padded shorts. Online, users had a lot to say about the newest product from the underwear and loungewear brand. "Skims is selling some kind of medieval torture device for your face," one user wrote on X. "The new Skims Ultimate Face 'face innovation' reminds me of Goodnight Mommy," another person said, referencing the 2022 psychological horror film. One Instagram user was similarly spooked. "What in the Hannibal is this," they wrote in Skims' comments. Another person on Instagram questioned what good the product would do for the person modeling it. "I was gonna say… this 19 yr old model NEEDS THIS." Other users were excited about the new product offer. "No but legit, I have a connective tissue disorder that caused TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) and my jaw recesses at night which causes mouth breathing + allergies so I am actually stoked for this!" another Instagram user said. "I'd use this over mouth tape," another person chimed in. Dr. Akash Chandawarkar, a surgeon, commented that the wrap could have post-operation uses. "Perfect for after facelift, necklift, or submental lipo." The face wrap takes a page out of South Korean skincare trends and TikTok viral "morning shed" routines, both of which offer an elaborate take on skincare. Skims is still set to release its collaboration with Nike, NikeSkims, though it has been delayed. A new date for the drop has yet to be announced.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

I tried on shapewear from Skims and Spanx. I had no trouble picking my favorite — and it was half the price of its competitor.
First, I tried on a pair from Spanx. Growing up in the early 2000s, the name Spanx was pretty much synonymous with shapewear. Founded in 2000 by Sara Blakely (who is now worth an estimated $1.2 billion), the brand sells a variety of shapewear products in different styles and compression levels. I ordered the SPANXsculpt OnCore high-waisted mid-thigh shorts (80% nylon and 20% elastane) for $78. I really appreciated that the shorts were available in petite sizing since shapewear typically runs long on my 5-foot-2 frame. It also came in four colors and eight sizes, ranging from XS to 3XL. I ordered a petite large in the "soft nude" colorway. Overall, I wasn't impressed by the level of compression. The Spanx website advertised these shorts as providing "targeted tummy control for a flat stomach." Unfortunately, though, I wasn't impressed by the level of compression these provided. Did it suck me in a bit and smooth out my stomach? Yes. But did it make a big enough difference for me to justify wearing it all night? Not really. I also wasn't a fan of the elastic band on top of the shorts that only ran along the back half of my body. I still found the shapewear rolled down along the top as I moved, which was both uncomfortable and a bit annoying. Otherwise, though, the shapewear was fairly comfortable. The shorts part of the shapewear generally stayed in place on my legs, and I didn't feel the need to pull down or adjust the fabric. Next, I tried on a similar garment from Kim Kardashian's brand, Skims. Skims was co-founded by Kim Kardashian in 2019 and has quickly become one of the biggest names in the shapewear market. The brand is now worth billions. Many of my friends rave about Skims, but I had a disappointing experience with the brand in 2022 when I purchased my first pair of shapewear. Unfortunately, the garment ripped as soon as I put it on. However, my experience with Skims' customer service was great, and I was sent a new pair at no charge. With this in mind, I was excited to give Skims another try. So, I bought the sheer, seamless, high-waisted mid-thigh shorts (78% polyamide and 22% elastane) for $38. This pair came in six color options and nine sizes, ranging from XXS to 4XL. Petite options were not available. I was pleasantly surprised by the Skims shapewear. My first thought after pulling these tiny shorts out of the bag was that there was no way in hell I'd be able to squeeze into them. They looked much narrower than the pair I tried on from Spanx, and I was a little nervous I'd rip them. To my surprise, though, they slipped on effortlessly and were incredibly comfortable. Like the Spanx pair, these shorts had an elastic band around the top. This time, however, the band stretched the entire width of the garment. Although it still rolled down a bit in the back, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the shorts stayed in place. The best part was that, despite offering "midlevel compression," I thought the shapewear smoothed out my belly nicely. I'd be really curious to see what the stronger levels of support can do. The only downside was that because I'm only 5'2, these "mid-thigh" shorts came close to touching my knees. So, I probably couldn't wear these with a shorter dress. I'd definitely buy another pair of Skims in the future. Overall, I was incredibly impressed by Skims' shapewear. Aside from being a bit long on me, these shorts fit beautifully, and I could definitely see myself wearing these comfortably for hours on end. The best part? The Skims shorts were about $40 cheaper than the Spanx version, which made me feel like I got a great value for the price. I'd love to see Skims offer petite options in the future. Until then, for shorter dresses, I'd definitely consider adding the brand's high-waisted briefs to my collection.
