Hmm that's weird because I called today and the guy told me that they get 'blind' shipments every 2-4 weeks or something like that. I don't understand why a company of this size get 'blind' shipments. They should know what to order and give their customers a more accurate answer y'know?

I want to see what the hype with ''Call Me" pressed blush is...but since it's not available right now I will have to wait until the next sale. That is if it's available because from the looks of it they seem not to know about they're shipments

Anyway I placed two orders of their blushes. I first order X-rated and then Kinky now I just have to wait for it to get here. Hopefully it won't arrive messed up cuz I'll be pissed. I want to order Immoral but I can wait for their next sale. I would like to be able to pick up more of these blushes but I want to see how these two fare first. Ok let me stop rambling and ponder my next move

The Luxe Lip Gloss are pretty nice. I was put off by the black sticker though on the packaging. Don't understand why such an expensive gloss has that cheap packaging on it.

Muse is pretty (very) sheer coral shade.
Mistress is a very nice rosy pink shade.

They smell similar to MAC with the vanilla scent.

I have more photos and swatches on my blog.

I somehow snagged Call Me during the last Hautelook sale. I must have logged on the second the sale started, because it was sold out almost immediately. It is pretty similar to Nars Orgasm -- to me it just isn't as shimmery. I really like it, but if you have lots of peachy pinks with slight shimmer -- you might not think it is worth all the hype! But I am glad I got it. It is getting harder and harder to get the best items with those sales from hautelook -- I logged on today right at 9:00 for the Urban Decay sale and I couldn't get the 2 things I really wanted. Literally, they were sold out right at 9:00 am . . . grrrrrr . . .

I have Super Orgasm and I like it more than the regular Orgasm I also have a few orgasm dupes and I don't know if I need another peachy pink blush lol. However, if the shimmer is less than I'm game lol. Ah lets see when they have another sale and they happen to have it in stock I might just get it. Ahh here's hoping because the packaging is hawt

Funny because I don't really buy products too much because of the packaging but because it works. But hey the packaging is a plus too.

I love the packaging, too -- I have bought waaaaay too much stuff during the sales LOL I love busting out that big blush compact!

Out of the 6 R&R blushes I have, Kinky is the least pigmented, although buildable. It seems to have different texture than the rest, not as soft and silky. But when it's on, it stays. I swatched it on my hand and it was still there even after I took a shower. Not that I am complaining, just noticed it today.

That's what they say, but I don't believe CS has a clue. They supposedly stock every 2-4 weeks but I have noticed that it's been more like once a week.

Yeah...it's chalky or almost gritty. But that's a good thing because it makes uit easier to apply. You don't have to worry about puttin on too much. I noticed the same thing with Immoral so all the bright blushes are probably the same. Of the 4 I have, Bedroom is the silkiest and smoothest.

Good to know that mine is not the only one. I have some brighter ones, All Nighter and X-Rated, and they are crazy crazy pigmented, so definitely not the same texture as Kinky. But i have to say, it's hard to work with super pigmented blushes, as you can't just slap it on, and you need to keep buffing.

I want to try Bedroom so bad. Oh well, next time when they have another sample sale. The R&R website sale is not cheap enough for me to buy after getting 6 blushes for more than 50% off

But All Nighter has shimmer, not sure about X-Rated. The shimmer finish blushes have a different texture. The bold, matte colors seem to be sheerer. I read that there a three formulas: shimmer, matte and translucent. I just wish they were labeled by finish on the blush itself or on the website.

X-rated is matte and it's super pigmented! They definitely should label them on the website.

Rock & Republic has won me over again... but I have some bad news:

THE COSMETICS LINE IS BEING DISCONTINUED. That 'sale' is simply to clear out the stock. It officially begins in the stores on September 1st, but I was able to get everything 50% off.

I got 2 Call Me blushes, one Tease Blush, a Lost eyeshadow and Train Wreck lipgloss. I'm very sad that the line is going away. Get everything while you can! I'm pretty sure I'm going back a couple of times before they're done.

They said that they would ship to me (I'm local) if I needed anything else. I'm not sure if that applies to folks who aren't local.

And Um........

CALL ME BLUSH IS WORTH.THE.HYPE.

:happydance :

Girl, I went to the store in Beverly Hills! I had to go to MAC anyway... and R&R is right on the corner of that street. I didn't even know they CARRIED the makeup line (it's shoved in a corner, in the dark... you can't even see it until you're totally inside the store).

I got two Call Me blushes 'cause I KNOW BETTER! When she said the line was going away and they were focusing on jeans and what not, I was like GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE!

Then she rang me up, and was like "40.00."

Say what?

She told me the sale officially kicks in Sept 1, but since it was on the site she would honor it...

I just about lost my mind. Just a damned shame.

On the way out she said if I needed anything else, to call the store and they would ship it to me.

I don't know if they can ship out of state or country, but it's certainly worth a phone call! It's the Rock & Republic store in Bevery Hills on Robertson. Call them!

OMG seriously?!! Damn do they have anymore of the call me blush? Cuz I want one and I would love a cp.

 

[Ingenue]

I bet they do! She didn't say that they were out. When I told her I wanted another one she just went and got it like it was no big deal.

 

[Ingenue]

They have two Call Me blushes left at the store, but according to the salesperson, they can order more from corporate if needed. And yes... they do ship outside the state.

 

[Ingenue]

Make that... ONE more Call Me blush at the store.

It has won me over also and I am sorry to hear that the line is being discontinued. I was not planing to purchase any backups but now I think I am going to get a few backups and all of the eye shadows. I really like this line if only they has priced it at these prices in the beginning. Thanks for letting us know.
