Hot Mama Tip: Too Faced Smurfette Collection

January 24, 2009 in Accessories, Designer, Girls will be girls, Hot Mama Tips, Shopping, That's Just Wrong with 3 Comments

For aging women like myself, who long to recapture our youthful good looks, Too Faced cosmetics has a plan. “Let’s take them back to their childhoods!” they cackled in their brainstorming session. “We’ll design a collection around a cartoon character they loved as kids! That’ll get ‘em, hook, line, and sinker!”

Uhhh, no.

I hated the Smurfs, and especially Smurfette, with a passion. She always seemed to be a helpless victim of the patriarchy, and I could never understand why she was the only woman. And really, I didn’t want to.

So, this particular makeup collection’s charms are completely and utterly wasted upon me. But, maybe someone else will want to apply makeup with a blonde, bimbo-y airhead as their inspiration? Looking “So Smurfy” or “Smurfy-Eyed” has never been a goal of mine, and if it’s yours, then all the Smurfy power to you.

    You’re right. That’s just wrong. Having the complexion of a Smurf is not appealing, no matter how bad my skin may be looking at this age.

    Is there some sort of tie-in with the Dame Edna collection for M.A.C. and no, I’m not kidding; it exists!

    I always hated Smurfette too! She was always having to get rescued and I hated the fact that she was originally created by Gargamel. Talk about throwback to women= evil.

    I forgave the Smurfs later on for the introduction of Sassy Smurf. She was much more my style, and I’ve always had a fondness for talkative redheads (Anne of Green Gables, Seth Green, etc.).
