Would You Buy Gourmet Lipstick?

January 11, 2008

While dilly-dallying last night, I ran across a pretty funny website that detailed one woman's attempt to land on a reality TV show. The plan was to sell her idea for Gourmet Lipstick, a collection of flavored lipsticks.

The pitch:

When you go out for a fancy meal, you don't want your foie gras tasting like Bonne Bell. This is a line of delicious gourmet lipsticks with flavors to compliment the finest meals — so you taste as fabulous as you look! They might come in cinnamon, cardamom, thyme, rosemary, and a smoky bacon which I envision as a deep dark red and would definitely get you kissed.

She didn't make it on the show, but she did make me crack a smile. So just for fun, would you buy this product if it were real?

Don't get me wrong, I love my bacon, but WTF is she thinking-- smoky bacon lipstick?! There are many lip glosses out there right now that are flavored and flavored normal things, like fruits and flowers. There is no need for bacon or my goodness, thyme lipstick...

I'm odd girl out - I would love to try any of these. Make it a giveaway then I bet some of you would try it out. Bacon was my least fav but I'd still wear it out to breakfast.

I wouldn't buy it, but I would try it! Sounds cute and fun!

Ummm No Thanks BUT I have to gie it to her for a new and original idea.

Bacon? You'd have to fight the men off with a stick.

Cardamom is tasty, though!

Maybe with different flavors I would try it. I don't really care what it tastes like as long as it doesn't taste or smell bad. Smokey bacon seems like it would definitely get male attention.

Possibly... if they rethought their flavors. there's no WAY I'd wear those... MUSHROOM!? ROSEMARY?! ewww, no.

I would have to be the right flavor - bacon is not the right flavor

I think I would only try the samples just to see what they've done with it. But I could never wear that everyday or every week.

Courtesy of HSUS.org Foie gras: Ducks and geese raised for pate de foie gras are force-fed to the point that their livers become diseased and swollen up to ten times their natural size.

i dont like flavored glosses or lipsticks.

So does smoky bacon go on glossy for a greasy effect?

emalove 5 years 19 weeks

Haha, smoky bacon flavored lipstick...ew!

Lovely_1 5 years 19 weeks

That is WAY beyond werid to me!

ALSW 5 years 19 weeks

Yeah, bacon kinda put it over the top for me. Merlot would be fine. But I'm happy with boring old Chapstick!

bailaoragaditana 5 years 19 weeks

Haha I agree with rumpel2 - if they had been flavors like chocolate or even dessert wine, definitely! But those sorts of things tend to already be available in gloss form... Lipstick - or any lipstuff - that matches the flavor of your (non-dessert) food just seems a bit gross... I mean, bacon-breath? No thanks!

aimeeb 5 years 19 weeks

Ummm I don't think so on this one...

rumpel2 5 years 19 weeks

no, thanks...if it wud hv been dessert flavors i just might have...
