I don't buy Kims fashions , but I do like her makeup, this show should be interesting. I watch her beauty shows and she's very informative and a hoot.

@qbetzforreal I wish you'd use a larger size type face and use paragraphs to break up the posting. This is like trying to read a stream of consciousness.

I guess it gives them some use for the studio that was devoted to audience shows. Beyond that, I really have no comment.

Well, why not? I doubt that I'll watch, though, unless I see postings here that demonstrate that we are entering groundbreaking territory.

In other words, sort it out here for me, friends!

I have some of her lipstick and .....OK, so watch when she presents it how she keeps smacking her lips together.

She's doing that because her lipstick is very sticky. I put some on today and I thought I was going to need a chisel to get my lips open! Ha!

It's just so sticky. I had to wipe it off and put something else on.

The good thing is I have slightly buck teeth so it made it a little easier. Ha!

I think she thinks it makes it shiny and kissable, but for my old lips ....well...it's irritating.

Wow! That was a lot of bla bla about lips and lipstick.

I posted here before that I don't like the way she always talks so 'down home'.

I have friends and relatives who live way down South and her's just sounds too .....I can't figure out how I want to say it.

I think she's a beautiful woman and she seems sweet on air, but she's just too .....maybe 'in your face'.

I don't know maybe some of you can describe what I'm trying to say better.

I don't think I could watch an hour long show of her.

I hate saying anything negative about her but....OK, I'll say this....she seems phony to me.

I feel like she's giving her version of a real southern woman. It's just too...way too...down home/southern.

I know people are going to come on here and 'take me on' but it's just my opinion. I don't know her for real, but it just seems fake.

WHAT PARALLEL UNIVERSE IS THIS ????

Say it ain’t so...

A "talk show" or just another format to sell the items?

I'm thinking this is no different than the Dennis Basso mini series and will focus on Kim's fashion and beauty expertise. It's only 4 episodes and it's on Saturday night. It just may turn out to be a good show!
