Rock & Republic Brings the Catwalk to Your Complexion.
With names like ‘X-Rated’ and ‘Trust Fund,’ it is easy for one to assume that Rock & Republic’s new line of colors are just as racy – and they are. Fiery hot blushes and electric blue shadows dazzle next to plush pink glosses and rich bronzers. Aside from their bold pigments, Rock & Republic is best recognized by its decadent packaging. Oversized gunmetal and black compacts carry their ‘R&R’ logo and are sold in miniature black hat boxes. One compact features a rhinestone encrusted logo and carries a hefty price tag of over two hundred dollars (USD).
My first experience with Rock & Republic was almost divine. The displays are edgy and ultra-modern, and even play R&R’s latest runway shows on a loop. The blushes are the size of most powders and come in twelve irresistible colors, so naturally, I left with the brightest shade available. The pigment in the ‘Contrived’ blush is well-saturated, and the effect is lavish. It certainly enticed me to purchase more.
Although their products aren’t achieving anything innovative, their overall look certainly made a lasting impression. The products are certainly well-made, but there are no must-haves….yet.
My Pick: For a deliciously innocent look, try ‘Mistress’ Luxe Lip Gloss against ‘Gossip’ Imitate Mousse Blush. For devilishly smoldering eyes, try ‘Asphalt’ Pressed Shadow and ‘Smut’ Bound Gel Liner.
