Beauty products often times have names inspired by nature or anything that sounds pretty. How often have you seen a blush labeled, “Rose” or “Summer’s Eve”? Probably all the time, right? But then, there’s a whole other category of beauty products with names that make you do a double take. Here are some of our favorite products with unusual, kitschy and weird names that are (almost) better than the product itself!
1. Lime Crime Liquid Eyeliner-“Orchidaceous” ($14)
Try saying this one three times fast. Drawing from the orchid flower, this eyeliner’s name is a bit of a mouthful, but the vibrant color will make your lips pop.
2. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar-“Clockwork” (18)
Inspired by the classic film Clockwork Orange, this burnt orange shade just may be what you need for Halloween this season.
3. Illamasqua Lipstick-“Apocalips” ($30)
We love a good pun, espically when it comes in the form of a gorgeous matte lipstick. This teal tone is a fun way to experiment with lip color.
4. OPI Coca-Cola Nail Lacquer-“Today I Accomplished Zero” ($9)
Procrastinators everywhere unite with this fab dark, sparkly shade.
5. NYX Cosmetics Matte Lipstick-“Whipped Caviar” ($6)
How posh is this lipstick? Perfect for days when you need a little extra oomph.
6. Butter London Nail Lacquer-“Scallywag” ($15)
This pretty glitter shade is just as cheeky as its nautical-inspired title.
7. Urban Decay Eye Shadow-“Mildew” ($18)
So, we’re not totally convinced we want something called “Mildew” on our eyelids, but we won’t lie—this green does add a pretty, neutral wash of color, or is perfect for a subtle smokey eye.
What’s the wackiest beauty color name you’ve ever encountered?
