The beauty world has seen its fair share of wild ideas and celebrity ventures, but rapper Sexxy Red’s new lip gloss line might just take the cake — or the cringe.
If you’ve ever wondered why celebrities are suddenly moonlighting as beauty moguls, look no further than Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner and many more who have all made waves with their successful beauty lines.
But when it comes to Sexxy Red’s latest venture, “Northside Princess”, we’re left scratching our heads and maybe even cringing a little.
Here’s the tea: Sexxy Red recently launched her revamped lip gloss line and let’s just say the shade names are not inviting nor inspiring. We’re not talking about the usual Coral Crush or Midnight Plum.
No, these names are a far cry from typical beauty jargon. With choices like Coochie Juice, Yellow Discharge, Bootyhole Brown, Sex on my Period and Gonorrhea, the line has sparked a storm of disappointment and confusion.
In an August 19 Instagram post, the 26-year-old rapper announced her revamped lip gloss line, Northside Princess, with a series of photos she captioned, “BO$$ LADY SPEAKIN 🗣️… New and improved @sexyyred_products is back better den eva !!”
@ratedpaulie took to X: “And just like that you made your brand a joke novelty that will be purchased once as a "lol" rather than a marketable brand. Y'all literally have Rihanna as a successful blue print and you did this ... yikes”

“But literally ‘p****hole pink’, ‘bootyhole brown’, ‘discharge yellow’ ... this is the stuff that’s gonna be available at the store? You’ve got to be kidding me. New societal low: UNLOCKED🤡.”
