So this is a list of some of the most offensively named beauty products. Obviously the ones in charge of names got too tired of Sparkle Sunfire or Sexy Silk and decided to just make some racial and sexually degrading color names. This just shows that something that's supposed to be just for women (even though some men do enjoy make-up) still perpetuates this idea of sexual judgement and exterior identity being paramount.
Some of my favorites include
I'm Not Really A Whore-By Naughty Nailz
Unfrogivable Woman-Sean Jean
Super rape-y if you ask me!
Schitzo? Because nothing is better than disembodying women and then calling them crazy..
and Chinois-which means Chinese in French apparently
Wow... I had never really thought about this until now. Offensive in a really strange way.
ReplyDeleteI went only the buzzfeed article and literally cannot believe that this are real things. I am shocked and offended to say the least. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThat was really cool to look at. I never thought about things like that.
ReplyDeleteI am actually really shocked by this. I don't know if these people think racist and sexist sentiment is especially funny or a great way to sell beauty products, but this is so offensive and moreover just horrible marketing. This is really disappointing not to mention eye opening.
ReplyDeleteFOOLISHNESS!! The nail polish thing really gets to me because I'm a nail shop queen and I'm always relishing over nail polish names!!
ReplyDeleteIts funny because you don't really look at nail polish names when you're buying them...well at least I don't, but knowing that this is happening will really make me take the time to consider what i am buying.
