"Love this woman but this is false advertising, maybe they should have advertised a hand lotion for her by Nivea because her hands are flawless cos we don't know her real face skin and she's definitely not using Nivea on her face. But she's still the Queen B."

"On top of make-up, that's why she never made it in America."
