Rihanna is testing us. I’m not sure why, or what we did to deserve it…. but she is.
That’s correct. Instead of a Fenty Album, Rihanna has collaborated with MSCHF to release a “ketchup or makeup” line. Six packets of “ketchup” – it’s up to you to find out if it’s the Fenty gloss or regular ole Heinz ketchup.
At the price of $25, you can either get six single servings of Fenty lipgloss…or the most expensive set of ketchup packets in the world.
I guess my advice here would be to try the product on your hand? Maybe even smell it beforehand?
And may I ask what happens to the poor sucker who gets all six packages filled with ketchup? Rihanna shows up to the house?
I’ve compiled a list of what to do if you get ketchup on that fateful day:
- Cook a single hot dog for yourself
- Save them for a picnic
- Make ketchup art?
- Cry
Fenty Beauty has consistently pushed out revolutionary products that change the makeup game as we know it… and I know she’s sick of this question, but the album? When? It’s been 7 arduous years since she released Anti – I think the people would be fine if she skipped the condiment makeup and released a single instead.
Her collaborator MSCHF is no stranger to controversy, either. The brain child behind Lil Nas X’s Satan Shoes helped land him a lawsuit from Nike and even potential jail time for the pop star. MSCHF loves to make you slightly uncomfortable – tres camp.
In an era of cheese nail polish and ramen candles…this is equally on brand and terrifying. Rihanna, if you’re listening, drop the album.
