During a recent trip to New York, Khloé Kardashian paused to compare the present with the days when she, Kim and Kourtney would all crash in a single hotel room while scouting for the now-defunct Dash stores. The memory reminded her that today she enjoys her own space – a literal and figurative sign of how far she has traveled.
From shared rooms to a Sephora counter
The multihyphenate’s visit to the city was not just nostalgic; it was to celebrate the launch of XO Khloé her first fragrance line, which hit Sephora shelves this month. “I never imagined my name would appear on a Sephora display,” she admitted, noting that the achievement feels like a dream finally materialising. The launch marks a milestone in a career that has expanded from reality-TV fame to fashion, fitness, and now a scented empire.
Motherhood, humor and everyday responsibilities
When asked what would most surprise her 20-year-old self, Khloé said it isn’t the perfume or a line of protein popcorn—it’s the fact that she is now a mother. She described motherhood as a daily commitment to “keep everyone alive” and a new layer of responsibility that includes managing a staff whose livelihoods depend on her decisions. The star also highlighted how humor still plays a big role at home: her four-year-old son, Tatum, loves staging tiny scares, a habit Khloé traces back to a classic Art Vandelay prank she once pulled with ex-partner Scott Disick on Kris Jenner. “I’m passing the torch,” she laughed.
Signature scents, beauty must-haves and the latest Instagram moments
Beyond family life, Khloé opened up about her fragrance preferences. She associates gardenia with confidence, linking it to her mother’s perfume, while she ditches scents that smell overly synthetic because they give her a “headache.” A lingering favorite from her teenage years is Angel by Thierry Mugler a perfume she recalls dousing herself in during junior high.
When it comes to beauty staples, Khloé confessed to hoarding Lancôme’s Hypnôse mascara. After hearing whispers of its discontinuation, she bought every remaining tube, storing them in a climate-controlled drawer. “I have two full drawers of it,” she said, insisting mascara is the one makeup item she never leaves home without, even for casual errands.
She also advocated for microneedling as a universally beneficial treatment, praising its versatility for skin on the hands, chest and beyond. Though she purchased a pen on Amazon and jokes about her expertise, she believes the procedure offers a tangible improvement that outweighs many other trends.
On the visual front, Khloé’s Instagram feed recently showcased a series of silhouette photos taken against a wooden doorway, highlighting her athletic build without revealing details. The caption was a simple brown-heart emoji, yet fans flooded the comments with admiration for her physique. A follow-up post featured her side-by-side with Kris Jenner, celebrating newly-defined arm muscles that took years of dedication—another nod to her evolving fitness journey.
Finally, Khloé announced her role as executive producer on the new reality series The Girls a six-episode Hulu project that follows a group of women navigating relationships, careers and motherhood. The show, which premiered on August 21, adds another dimension to her expanding portfolio.
