I have 3 shades of lipstick in my bag right now. The are ‘Mauvy Night’, ‘Spiced Brandy’ and ‘Royal Red’. Frankly, these names make me ashamed to be a marketer. Why do I need a shade name that identifies that the lipstick is a version of red or pink? Is there a huge surge in colour-blindness rates amongst lipstick wearers?
I would like to change the names of the lipstick I wear to ‘Pretending I Don’t Wear Lipstick’, ‘Flirting My Ass Off’ and ‘Don’t Fuck With Me’. Any company that has shades with those names, contact me immediately and I will buy some.
Here’s a question – blokes included. Would you buy a shade of lipstick called ‘Gives Terrific Head’, ‘Deal Closer’ or perhaps ‘So Funny You’ll Wet Yourself’? Ideas please… What would your shade be called?
I will post pictures of my shades as soon as I can figure out how. Don’t wait around, it may take some time…

Love it!!! How about one called ‘Dita Von Teese’
They do it right with nail polishes though – I’m currently wearing one called ‘Take them to the cleaners’;-)
Leighton Denny’s latest ‘The Criminal Collection’ with names like Jailbird, No Comment, Caught Red Handed, Daylight Robbery, Little Thief – excellent!
