Things that make you go Eww

I spotted this at the cosmetic counter of Bloomingdales over the holidays. The Benefit's Justine Case Overnighter Kit is for that quaint "unexpected sleepover." 

Um, ewww!  

Never before has trampy tried so hard to be clever, cutesy, and efficient. The idea is you can pack this little kit in your Juicy bag (just guessing) and "just in case" you find someone really, really special and have an overnighter this "mini beautifying kit" will have everything you need in the morning to have you looking just as good to the guy as you did the night before--alrighty.

Here's the write-up of what's inside, though I can see some obvious omissions that would make the kit more...how can I say?...practical. Benefits has taken the pun-product name to a tragic degree.  It's getting to the point where descriptions hold zero clues to what the product is:

Product details (my notes in pink.)

exclusive (this is the ONLY time the word 'exclusive' will be used in relation to the "overnighter" situation)  hanky panky thong... seductively lacy in currant & black. (pay no attention to the random use of an ellipses...)                                                                                       

• california kissin': 2.50 g Net wt. 0.09 oz (no clue what this is...need  to cross reference with Benefits' dictionary.)
• eyecon: 2.50 g Net wt. 0.09 oz (guessing eye something or other...)
• benetint: 2.50 ml / 0.08 US fl oz (I use this. It's very good...)
• some kind-a gorgeous: 2.20 g Net wt. 0.08 oz (just can't figure out what "kina-a gorgeous"... just SOME kind...)

For only $35 this charming kit could be all yours.  It's a sad irony that is about the same amount as your co-pay for the antibiotics you will need after your "sleepover."

Well, this is the excess where our modern life drives us, I guess, Suz.
I wonder if they create the same kit for men ? Because disappointment could be hard to accept on the morning for the woman too ? But, That's right that any kit could remedy to this desillusion when the kit's owner regains consciousness. At this point it's not a question of physical appearence, it's just a question of mind care.

[Elaina Avalos]

Wow. That's just, wow.

[Jason]

Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder how sales will be.

I'm surprised there's nothing in it for cleaning up a bit beforehand, if necessary, you know, flushable wipes or a toothbrush and paste or something.

[Mental P Mama]

No condom? Or toothbrush? Ewwwww.

[Predo]

Cheese Whiz Miss Thang! Now 7-11 is going to loose all those early morning customers!!!!

[foolery]

The one product I thought could be in there, wasn't. And I'm too much of a wimp to mention it.

Are the fancy undies replacements for the Walk of Shame when one can't find her undies? Shouldn't those be Granny Panties?

[Keli Horton]

I'm speechless.

[Grant Forest]

LOL! $35 Co Pay for antibiotics...
I hate the needless, incorrect or gratuitous use of ellipses too...

[nik]

Does it come with a sample-sized tube of Dignity? Or a travel pack of Self-Respect?

Gah, or at least some Alka-Seltzer Morning Relief.

Those Juicy Bags are HUGE, you'd think they'd have a little extra room to fit those in.

[MomZombie]

AW, you guys came up with all the good comebacks. I'm humbled. I think the shame walk needs to be walked. You can't buy a stinkin' kit to fix it.

[Debs]

I guarantee my sister has this in her Juicy bag! Yeah, we don't talk that often any more...

(Hope that was the right use of the ellipses.)

[Suz]

Yeah, I was thinking maybe a toothbrush and some deodorant and of course the RX for the anitbiotics. Yuck. This is a part of life that I am happy to say I missed out on....yucky.

[PJ]

Ewww, ewww, ewww. That's too much information! I think sales will be brisk.

[carissa... brown eyed fox]

ewwwww is right... antibiotics & something for the fungi! :)

nuts what they try to package!

[blythe]

oh. my. word.

that's hilarious. thanks for posting such a sassy and informational review about it! :]

[Andrea Charroin]

Now when the kits are on the 75% off table will they provide the same alure???
They should have included a pair of ballet slippers, so that while you are doing the walk of shame you can put the giant heels back in your Juicy bag.

[Jennifer]

You've got to be joking?!? I love the last comment about the walk of shame. too funny!

[Nat]

Yikes! I don't think you can "sell" self-respect or class. I blame Sex and the City. It made women think that slutiness = glamorous. Ewww is right.

[Ducks Fan]

Again, this reminds me of the girls that sit behind me at the Ducks game...

[fancy feet]

How cute...to have it all wrapped up and pink...'Overnighter'...my ass.

[Joe Sweden]

Now come on everybody...don't be so mean to the girl who just wants to spruce herself up a little after a "hanky panky." I, for one, appreciate the effort. :-)

[Cara]

Like other said, where the condoms and the toothbrush? Too funny!

[LMN]

That is too funny. And too gross. Yes, "Ewwwww." I don't really know what else to say. Everybody else took all the clever comments. :)

[chrome3d]

All those cosmetics departments make me dizzy with the air thick of all those crazy scents and alien looking airbrushed women all over the walls. Those are always in the first floor and one must walk through them to see the rest of the stuff. It doesn´t surprise me at all that this kind of product would be found there and it had some ideas...I guess.

[Nannette]

Well, I guess we know who this was lost on. Sense of humor, anyone?
