A startup cosmetics company has debuted a new lipstick that takes aim at President Donald Trump. Lipslut, founded by California Polytechnic State University undergraduate student Katie Sones, has released their new "F*ck Trump" lipstick, according to Mediaite on Wednesday.

The lipstick will raise money for a yet to be determined charity that can be voted on after purchasing the item. Mic reported that the Center For Reproductive Rights, the Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood and the National Organization for Women are all listed as options during voting.

The startup company posted a picture on its Instagram account of Trump holding a Lipslut lip gloss. The caption reads, "Our first celebrity endorsement."

Sones described the origins of her company to the Mustang News, the newspaper of California Polytechnic State University.

"After the election, everyone was saying, ‘Donate to this and [to] that,’ and I never donated, but I thought ‘Why aren’t I doing that?' People are going to buy lipstick either way, so if you could do that and have the money go somewhere that you support, that would be perfect," she told the paper.

The Lipslut website says the cosmetic company is "50% towards charity, 100% against tyranny, and of course, 100% cruelty free," while Teen Vogue described the company as helping you "fight the patriarchy with your purchase" in their profile of Sones and her company.
