Cosmetic names: your favorite?

divaoc...@aol.compuppies (Dr. Sooz)
Someone mentioned that Ramy has a blush called Bitch Slap. I just love that!
Cosmetic names have evolved from fluff like Pinkberry Meringue (my first
lipstick, in the 60s) to a riot of imaginative monickers.
What's your favorite color or item name?

That would be one of my newest eyeshadows, a limited edition shade by a famous
Swedish designer for Make Up Store, a Swedish "pro" brand. The shadow is a
really cool not black not brown not grey dark color, excellent for lining, and
it's called "Rich Bitch Brown".

MAC had a light pink lipstick a while back called "Snob".
I don't think I can beat Bitch Slap.

I have a MAC lipstick called, "Merry Mistress" and I liked that name. I think
"Bitch Slap" has raised the bar for good cosmetic names, though.

casual sex?)

orgasm or Sin? )

I have "Snob"! I also have "Plink," "X–Pose,"
"Faux" and "Vinyl." I also have UD's X, and
"Fur" has been on my must–have list forever.
I don't really have a particular favorite, but
I think BeneFit's "Boo–Boo Kitty" is too funny,
and UD's "Roach" e/s and lipstick is the most...
revolting. ;=)

Clinique used to have a powder blush called Ashes of Roses. It was a pale,
sort of dusty blue–based pink...<sniff, sob>

Hey, they showed that name being born on "Stripped". The OPI people
were putting together their Las Vegas collection names and they showed
the footage of their get–together where they sat around a table and
brainstormed. Looks like a fun company to work for, they were playing
Vegas–style party games and eating snacks from paper plates. =)
Actually the 'Going Glam' episode of "Stripped" has been my favorite
so far. Most of the episodes are so–so, more like infomercials than
anything, but this one I found fun. They also had the guys from
Smashbox on and they were too funny.

"My Sin" always sounded like a memorable name.
Much better than describing it as "Bergamot, heliotrope, neroli,
aldehydic accord, carnation, ylang–ylang, lily of the valley, violet,
iris, rose, jasmin, musk, vetiver and sandalwood."

Fun thread! Here are a few that I like:
UD "Scratch"
BeneFit "My Date's My Brother"
BeneFit "Naughty Feather," Big Kahuna," "Trust Fund Baby,"....I could go on
and on
with Benefit names! Love 'em!

Bonne Bell Lip Lix had great shade names, and the colors were just as pretty.
Sadly, these shades/scents are all discontinued :(
Nut–So–Fast (a bronze, hazelnut flavored gloss)
Gettin Punchy (a gorgeous bright pink fruit–punch flavored gloss)
Juicy news (a dark berry colored raspberry–flavored gloss)
Bonne bell has a flavored gloss out now, Lip Burst Smoothie Squeeze, in a color
called Strawberry Whip. Yummy name for a yummy shade/taste/scent.
Anyone remember Tinkerbell? That was a company that made "junior" cosmetics,
which weren't toys but real face, body, and bath time beautifiers made mild for
"young" skin. Well, I loved their flavored lip glosses even as an upper–teen,
and their ice cream parlor glosses were my faves. And the shades/flavors had
pretty yummy names.
Raspberry Delight
Peaches and cream
Strawberry Sundae
And gumballs nail polish had fun shade names
Whazzup (a purple–blue)
Techno (an opalescent white)
Acid Jazz (a goldish green)

You read my mind. I seemed to remember in the dusty recesses of my
mind that there was some makeup product called Ashes of Roses, though I
had no idea what it was, and the only reason I remembered this was
because Bourjois used to have a scent by that name, and for some reason
it's always struck me as intensely romantic. (Even if the actual *smell*
of ashes of roses wouldn't be particularly romantic––but then, the names
of scents aren't meant to be taken literally, as a rule: imagine Opium
or Organza literally interpreted.)

Bliss's "Soapy Sap." I'm not really sure
what that's supposed to mean, but I mentioned
it once to DH and the look on his face was
priceless.
