I do see how they are offensive, but I also love when makeup can just be fun. I use makeup equally for enhancing my looks, as well as for much fun I have in the process and I really appreciate when the packaging and the names are clever. but, I'm also quite open when it comes to these things, oh to grow up in San Francisco!<br /><br />xoRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289869463394674168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968710057868332316.post-79654974276194842042010-04-03T23:38:03.411+01:002010-04-03T23:38:03.411+01:00Great post - I have to say I agree with you!

When I was looking for the Nars Orgasm blush (which I swear by depsite the name :/ ), the lady at sephora asked me what I was looking for and I just couldn't say it out loud!

And yes I do belive in talking honestly to them about sex when they as questions, but on beuty products!!! No way.<br /><br />I'd exclude Throb, i'm with Charlie on that one. The corset picture on the front makes me think of bodice rippers and melodromatic ladies swooning with throbbing chests..... Although the other connotation hadn't escaped me, it's definitely less crude than the other products.Sparklz and Shinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508302887446218534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968710057868332316.post-31581284459452408722010-04-02T07:08:52.867+01:002010-04-02T07:08:52.867+01:00I definitely thing they're going too far. Kid...I definitely thing they're going too far. Kids are bombarded with so much sexuality so early these days...and then we complain that they grow up too fast! Do they really need more of that at the drug store and makeup counter - no. <br /><br />Sadly, orgasm blush is so legendary in large part because of its name (it's one of the WORST blushes in the NARS range in terms of color payoff, etc). So the other companies are now after a piece of th pie by one-upping one another. Unfortunately, they're crossing the line.The Girly Tomboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127120039410989477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968710057868332316.post-77333940957063248352010-04-02T01:12:17.244+01:002010-04-02T01:12:17.244+01:00I hear you I really do

I mean there is sex *well not quite literally* everywhere now days, music videos, magazines, newspapers, posters etc. I'm 19 and I can see that it could be a bit embarrassing for some people but we see it everywhere else its inevitable that it will end up in the names of cosmetics sooner or later.
