I guess my head is not in the gutter: when I covered Sephora Collection [1]'s new Ocean Crush Sponge Set [2] ($12) last week, all I saw was an innocent, salmon-covered seashell. Meanwhile, the internet did what it does best: started making a lot of comments about how the blender looks like a d*ck.
According to the brand, "the sponges have multiple ridges and points, as well as a flat cut edge on the base to apply makeup to larger areas of the face." But guess what else has multiple ridges?
Let's let Twitter answer that question:
@sephora [3] I see what y'all were trying to do but... looks like an uncircumcised pink penis 😖… https://t.co/LCDUOOS9hT [4]

I'm wondering what kind of penises women have seen for them to think the new Sephora sponge looks like a penis

Well, that's one way to disrupt the standard rose gold makeup brush trend [15].
