Many celebrities are diving into the beauty industry from Rihanna, and Ciara, to Alicia Keys. Recently, Sexyy Red joined the trend, and her new venture has sparked quite a reaction online. In an Instagram post, the rapper unveiled her revamped lip gloss line, Northside Princess, with a series of photos and the caption, “BO$$ LADY SPEAKIN [yelling emoji]…. New and improved @sexyyred_products is back better den eva!!”
While it might seem fitting for someone named Sexyy Red to enter the makeup world, her latest line is pushing boundaries, and not everyone is on board with her bold approach. See the post, which is kind of NSFW, here.
Sexxy Red’s New Lip Gloss Line
The controversy isn’t about the product itself but rather the provocative names of the shades. With names like “Coochie Juice,” “Yellow Discharge,” and “Gonorrhea,” some might find it uncomfortable to request these glosses at their local Sephora or Ulta. Could you imagine the awkwardness of it all?
Sexyy Red gave her followers a closer look at the collection’s risqué and explicit names, including “Bootyhole Brown,” “Nut,” “P----hole Pink,” “Blue Ballz,” and the fruit-scented “Sex On My Period.”
Fans quickly took to the comments to share their thoughts. Some were enthusiastic, with one user saying, “Where can I purchase that set of glosses!!! I need them in my life!” and another commenting, “Go sexyyyy [heart eyes emoji] [fire emoji].”
However, others were less impressed by the shade names. One person wrote, “I wanted them until I saw the names [laughing emoji],” while another added, “Come on now it’s getting hard to defend you [exhausted emoji].” Some commenters urged the rapper to consider her influence on young fans, with one writing, “Stop! Do better! I get it, it’s an easy way to make MONEY BUT show the world that you are a classy, intelligent Black woman! Be a woman kids can look up to! You have the platform, use it wisely!”
Despite the mixed reactions, Sexyy Red isn’t the first musician to enter the beauty business. Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty has been a massive success, and Selena Gomez launched Rare Beauty in 2019. Other stars like Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Halsey, and Alicia Keys have also introduced their own beauty lines. So, it’s no surprise that Sexyy Red wants to carve out her own space in the industry.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow made headlines in 2020 with the launch of a daring product, the Goop candle. While it’s not a beauty item, you might remember it as the candle named “This Smells Like Vagina.” Last year, PEOPLE reported that during a now-expired Q&A on her Instagram Stories, the Goop founder explained that she created the scented candle, which quickly sold out on the Goop website, to make “a really strong feminist statement.” The Goop line has since expanded into beauty products.
