Bethenny Frankel roasted the “spoiled” teenagers who buy luxury skincare and makeup products at Sephora.
“I was always a drugstore person, because [shopping at Sephora] seemed like it was so expensive,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum said in a video posted to Instagram Tuesday.
“Now, girls that are my daughter’s age, that are her peers, talk to me like I’m their peer. ‘So what do you think of the Dior? Do you have the Drunk Elephant? Do you have the Charlotte Tilbury?’ And I’m like, ‘Bitch, you’re 14.'”
She continued, “We’re not on the same level, and I don’t even want to pay that.”
Furthermore, Frankel — who is known for drugstore makeup videos and budget-friendly recommendations — stated that she thinks Sephora is “very pricey and often unnecessary.”
The mother of one — who shares daughter Bryn, 13, with ex-husband Jason Hoppy — explained that while her daughter’s friends may have “a lot more” luxury beauty items, she chooses not to shower her daughter with expensive cosmetics.
“If I wanted to, I could fill my daughter’s entire mattress with Charlotte Tilbury and Dior and Chanel products, but I don’t,” the Skinnygirl founder, 53, said.
As for the teens who are purchasing these high-end brands, Frankel said, “I’m sure they’re a bunch of spoiled brats. And I’m not looking to raise a spoiled brat.”
“It’s psychotic that kids think they could spend $50 on a blush or hundreds of dollars at a beauty store,” she added.
Ultimately, Frankel said teenagers’ spending habits are “on the parenting.”
“I certainly don’t let my kid hang out all weekend at Sephora spending money on my credit card,” she stated.
The “Just B” podcast host hasn’t been shy about criticizing luxury brands in the past.
Last year, Frankel shaded Kim Kardashian’s Skkn brand, labeling the products as “impractical at best.”
She also dubbed Kylie Jenner’s makeup brand “a scam” in an October 2022 review.
