Smurfette Wants You to Smurf Yourself Up, You Filthy Smurf You
This is official Smurfette make-up. Specifically, it is the So Smurfy Eye Shadow Collection, which includes four “Smurftastic” shades, including Icon Blonde, Pink Bow, Smurfette Blue, Magic Mushroom. It is offered by the Too Faced cosmetics company, which also makes So Smurfy Illuminating Face Powder, Smurfy-Eyed Liquid Liner, and Smurfette Mood Swing, which is lip gloss that “starts off a shimmering Smurfy blue and magically blossoms into countless shades of Smurf-berry pink!”
HOLY. FUCK. I can’t decide if it’s more terrifying for these things to be intended for young girls to tart themselves up like miniature blue harlots, or if it’s Smurf-branded make-up intended for adults. It’s like Fan Fiction Friday is bleeding into the real world, and it scares the living shit out of me. (Via The Beat)
