Rihanna has reacted after James Charles criticised her $190 Fenty Beauty advent calendar.
James called the calendar a sham, compared the products to travel-sized samples and said none of it was worth $190. He also made digs at people still supporting the brand, which I thought was unnecessary. Customers can enjoy buying Fenty without having to justify it to him.
I can understand why some people disagree with James on the value. The calendar includes six full-size products from Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin, rather than the sample sizes you often get in advent calendars. So, while $190 is a lot of money, I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss the whole thing without considering what’s inside.
James later replied to someone asking him to discuss Fenty, saying: “I genuinely don’t have anything to add to the conversation. They provided a refund, thankfully.
Rihanna has now joined in too. Underneath a post about the situation, she left a yawning face emoji.
And honestly, I find Rihanna’s response quite funny. James had so much to say about her calendar, and all she did was leave a yawning emoji. I don’t think she could’ve made her reaction any clearer.
Before you go, I wanna know… was James right about the price, or was he too harsh on Rihanna and Fenty?
