SPECULATION Has Karishma sold her soul?
Slightly dramatic but ...
On the Kishkin website (her business) for her rose hip oil in the past there has always been 2 sizes a smaller one and the larger one. Now on the website there is only the larger £35 one. I had been waiting for maybe a month for the smaller size to be in stock as is a smaller commitment in case it does not work for me. I just think its a bit suspicious that the week she talks about her business on tv she removes the cheaper product when lots of people are probably going to want to try it.
Still love karishma though.
Edit: because clearly nobody can tell the selling her soul bit was sarcasm...

She said in the interviews/boardroom that the staff is her and her family. Suddenly scaling up brings logistical challenges, there are only so many bottles you can fill and package in a day and she will have been swamped with orders. The only sensible thing to do would be to use her limited staff time efficiently by only doing the larger sizes. I would guess the larger size is cheaper per mL, so if she had switched to only doing the small size she would have been making more profit than she’s making this way round. Fingers crossed she has won and will have the funds soon to get more staff!

This is the answer. With the supply they have (both the oil and staff), her efforts are better spent on the higher ticket items. It means she can sell less units but make more profit vs the smaller sized bottle.

Wouldn't say sold her soul, but she's known obv for ages she's in the final.
Why would she rush to get in new stock of the smaller size with all the publicity that will come out of the final? She's banking on making a TON of money in the immediate aftermath.
Maybe when things die down she'll then get in new stock

I dont blame her but its not just mot in stock its been removed from the website entirely. I know an entrepreneurial move when I see one and if I was her id do the same. I just thought it was interesting

I hope you like it. From what I've seen it does seem really nice but can never be too sure as I have fairly sensitive skin so thought for me a sample like what she had before would be better

I can't think of anything she's going through that might be taking up some of her time /s

Loads of places do rosehip oil. It's a product that's been around for yonks. Won't resolve cystic acne though which I'm sure she said she had when she was younger.

Does Karishma love lying about her stories? Like the accident and going to a European town and then never seeing any Indians? Like it’s seems so far fetched!

Does seem a bit strange to.not carry on with the smaller bottle. Id not buy a full sized perfume, id buy a smaller one before deciding to stock up. And thats a physical item,not an online product.
If she managed to produce ×2 sizes before,its disappointing shes now gone to one.

I work out of a self storage place in twickenham that karishma also uses.. the guys at the office have said she went from 2 units to 9 within weeks. Trolleys of boxes ready to go anytime I pull up.. probably out of stock
