Every now and again, I just get the itch to mercilessly poke fun at something that seems to exist purely for the purpose of being ridiculous. Well, the postman delivered quite the gem today! A real honey, I'm tellin' ya. Ta-da! An ULTA sale add.
Okay, I know what you're thinking..."Um, yeah, an ULTA add. Whatever." I wouldn't have thought much about it either, or even looked at it for that matter, since I don't usually wear make-up. But this time I was fortunate enough to at least peruse the front page. Do you see that little shadow palette off to the left? Yes, the black one that I couldn't get a close-up of because my camera is on the fritz...that's the one. Oh, how I wish you could see the names of the colors printed beneath each shade! Moonlit Jasmine? Nope. Summer Rose? Uh-uh. Oh no, these names are much better. Let's go from worst to best, in terms of hilarity, shall we?
And the runners-up are...
Maui Wowie (Um...okay...?)
Last Call (would that be the call you make before you are caught in public wearing a shade called this?)
Chopper (as in, West Coast? Wow.)
Shattered (exactly how your life will be if you stoop to buying this palette)
Grifter (you are what you wear)
Polyester Bride (again...um...okay? It mocks itself)
Sin (Hey, they said it...)
And, ladies and gentlemen we have a three way tie!
Smog
Oil Slick
and drumroll please.....
Mildew
Yeah, I can't wait to smear my lids with a little pollution, or car grease. And what about that mildew, huh? Heck, I'll just scrape some out of a public restroom and save myself the 36 bucks. Oh the things we women do to attract the menfolk (please note the sarcasm...my husband would definitely be repulsed). They'll be swarming like flies toward the poor creature wearing this stuff. Or, with names like these, at least the flies themselves will be.

Ugh!
It's hard to imagine that somebody gets PAID to think up those names!!
I wonder if they're "qualified"?
:-D
Or... perhaps someone has finally found a way to counter popular culture and get gals to stop WANTING to wear make-up! HA!
Yeah, I thought the purpose of make-up was to enhance beauty...just goes to show how skewed our culture's definition of femininity is. My husband noticed two other shades called 'lust' and 'covet'. Yuck. Is the goal to literally wear the seven deadly sins, or something?
I don't have anything against make-up. I once head someone say, "If the barn needs painting, paint it." Besides, the Bible does speak of women adorning themselves. So I don't see make-up as really being a spiritual issue. But this is just obnoxious. Definitely not pure or lovely.
