How do you solve a problem like Brett Kavanaugh? Well, one: You don’t appoint him as US Supreme Court Judge, not only because he was accused of sexual assault, but because of his biased and unprofessional remarks during his hearing with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
And two: Create a lipstick shade inspired by his hotheadedness and donate all the proceeds to anti-sexual assault organizations. Activism-based beauty brand Lipslut did just that with their newest product named “F*ck Kavanaugh.” This is also the same brand that made “F*ck Trump” and “F*ck Hollywood.”
Lipslut founder Katie Sones told Refinery29 that she “got so upset seeing women’s voices being ignored, doubted, and flat-out denied” during the hearing. So, she and her team came up with a “calm, cool, and collected” shade fitting for Kavanaugh’s outbursts, complete with a box featuring his angry face. “Imagine a cool-toned maroon,” Katie said.
From today until Oct. 7, the brand will give 100 percent of the lipstick’s proceeds to RAINN, NO MORE, Alliance to End Sexual Violence, and End the Backlog. After a week, 50 percent will be given to these organizations for each purchase made. It’s also timely since Kavanaugh is now being investigated by the FBI (after avoiding it for so long) for multiple sexual assault allegations against him.
Sadly, Lipslut doesn’t ship internationally just yet. But we still want to get our hands on them because it has a matte finish, moisturizing, long-wearing, and we can curse the hell out of men like Kavanaugh while saying the shade name. It’s a yes from us.
