Hungry? Try Natural Lipstick, Every Feminist Dream!

By Tatiana McKinney
December 16, 2009

Besides the fact that I love to blog, I love writing and bringing attention to ridiculous ads and PSAs. While perusing the internet for inspiring and INTERESTING things to bring to my readers, Salon.com never seems to fail me!

According to Salon.com, "RAW Natural Beauty, a line of eco-friendly, mineral makeup, is trying to forever turn us off the standard fare found in the makeup aisle with a YouTube video starring Stevie Ryan of "Little Loca" fame."

It begins with her preening for a hot date -- but then out comes the lipstick, and things take a turn for the worse. She ends up gorging on her entire arsenal of makeup before vomiting up the pink contents of her stomach. Then the spot spells out its intended lesson: "Over the course of a lifetime, the average woman ingests 7 pounds of lipstick."

I think this will draw some interesting criticism. I'm eager to see what my readers will say...

Enjoy the video, but don't forget to leave comments! :)

Distrubing! I liked the message though and it's made me think. With two little kids I don't have time for lipstick anyway, but I'm glad I have been using organic chapstick!

Your articles are always thought provoking...Kudos to you!
