RuPaul's Drag Race Queens Kim Chi recently joined forces with best friend Trixie Mattel to launch a dynamic new makeup collection called BB4EVR. The collection comprises six products: a 20-pan eyeshadow palette, blush and highlight duos, semi-matte and liquid lipsticks, and a dramatic folding fan.
Some standout pieces from the collection include the BFF4EVR Kimchi X Trixie MV Palette - 01 Superstar, the BFF4EVR Kimchi x Trixie Lolips - 02 Gingerbread, and the BFF4EVR Kimichi x Trixie Wthighlight - 01 Double Diamonds -- to name a few. All products are cruelty-free, gluten-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, talc-free, and synthetic fragrance-free.
"I'm truly blessed to be able to have a famous friend like Trixie, so I can now coattail off her success. Here's our collaboration. It's makeup, it's cute, we know you're gonna want it. It has both of our pictures on it, so buy it if you like both of us. Thank you," said Kim Chi.
