The balm Nude Tude palette...

I read that earlier as well and have since had a  ^o) expression on my face regarding TB.

Oh yeah. It's bothered me for a while. The Shady Lady shadow names are particularly annoying.

Ugh, WTF? I don't own anything by the Balm. Maybe I should keep it that way.

Also, the women are completely nude, and the guys are in towels.

This is what i noticed, but tbh i never looked at the color names on the man one. I own the original one. I cant imagine theres a legitimate reason why they would do this that would make it not be inherent misogyny of some kind.

On this, there's actually two different Nude Tude packaging, and in one, the women are clothed. That's the one I have.

The Nude Tude names did not irk me until I read this.  Damn you TheBalm. I don't want to hate you.

Well that sucks.

I...I could be annoyed with this. I'm almost there.

But given that my only Balm product is the Mary Lou Manizer, I just assumed they had a "bad girl" winky theme going on. As opposed to a "women are bad" undercurrent. I dunno. Like I said, I'm on the verge of being mad about it, but I'm just not quite there.

I kind of feel this may be the case too. And they have the funny names for the blushes (frat boy, cabana boy, etc). And the nude dude colors are pretty and I kind of want one so I'm justifying it a little, lol.

I have the controversial one

But it is funny names or positive names for men/boys. And a bit of negative/slut-shaming for the ladies.
