Rock and Republic cosmetics

I agree Vixxan! The price would have made so much of a DIFFERENCE! They want to price it like Chanel with no marketing or hype... and it just didn't work.

I really wish they would just lower the price permanently and keep the line. It's really good in both size and quality.

It might be getting discontinued in stores but not online. I called earlier today and the guy told me that they aren't being discontinued it's just that sometimes the stock is limited. So let's see if they bring back the blushes online cuz they only had shameless left. He said that he hasn't heard anything from the company but that if they do so would us if we're on their mailing list. So hopefully they'll be back with new things or something.


On another note Ingenue posted about one more blush left well I got lucky and bought one of the two. So thanks to her I'm getting one on the way

The only thing that hurt me was the shipping, which was almost 9 bucks

I hope that this blush doesn't let me down.

I really hope you love the blush! It comes out a shimmer apricot on me... with a gold overtone. I think it'll look FABULOUS on you!

So they're going to stay online? That's really good news. Maybe they're just discontinuing the makeup in the stores.

You think it will look good on me? I sure hope so cuz it cost me a pretty penny lol. Yea that's what the guy told me over the phone. They had replied to somebody in their FB page that they're not discontinuing it and I got a verbal reply too so let's hope for the best

 

[Ingenue]

Yes I do. I'm a good strong medium brown, and it shows up on me just beautifully. I think you can rock it girl!

Call Me Blush is now sold out at the R&R store in Beverly Hills. I hope that those who got it... love it!

I just called the free-standing store in Las Vegas and the clerk said that cosmetics are 60% off but they don't have a lot left. He said they have been marked down for a while. He checked to see for me but they did not have any of the Call Me or Seduce blushes left. I wonder if they are going to be honoring this sale at their counters? I am going to call one in Texas and see. Also, I was on another forum that I frequent and one lady found a bunch of the R&R at a Nordstrom's Rack close to her house. Unfortunately, I think the rumors about discontinuing the line may be true.

I don't know they have a store in Texas, where is it?

Yea.. Nordstrom's Rack has been getting some R&R products because Nordstrom stopped carrying them, so to the Rack they went. I've been checking mine for a few months and they never got anything at all.

Since they already posted on FB that they're not discontinuing the line, i'm gonna believe them, but yea, they might only carry it online now.

They don't have stores...I said I wonder if the counters are offering the promotion. Per the R&R website...they have counters in Dallas and Houston that carry the cosmetics line.

Yea sorry, that's what i meant, counters. I don't think they have counters in Houston anymore. It says they do on their website, but nope. They need to update that. I went to Neiman Marcus, as said on the website, and the lady there said that they pulled out all R&R like 6 months ago or something. I asked where else I can find it in Houston, but she said they don't sell it anywhere in Houston anymore.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Yeah Dallas counters is no more, they had it in like one Nordies that I have seen it at. But it's not there anymore

Like jazm1n3s said, the website is inaccurate. They are still listing a TON of places as carrying the cosmetics but it was pulled from all counters about 6 months ago. I know this because there were several listed in my area and when I called I was told that they were no more. The only place you can physically get it is a R&R store.

Side note: R&R needs to get it togther. The online customer service directed me to the store locater to find places that sold the cosmetics and the store locater is inaccurate.

Oh...ok. Thanks guys! I was relying on the Store Locator on their website. I live in New Orleans so I was just looking for the closest stores that may carry it. I'm sad that I missed out on the Beverly Hills store because I really wanted Call Me and Seduce. Maybe I'll luck up and find it at a Nordstrom's Rack or something.

Btw, if you have MAC Flirt & Tease then you don't need Seduce. They're an identical match.

I thought that XRated would be a dupe for NARS Taj Mahal... it's not. Sooo.... I'm going to keep both (I was going to give one away).

I think that Shameless is a dupe for NARS Oasis, but I'm not sure so I'm going to swatch one -- go to the store -- and swatch the other.

I'm wearing LOST eyeshadow today with MAC Lithe pigment... it's gorgeous and flattering on all skin tones.

Shameless is not a dupe for NARS Oasis not even the same color tone. It is closer to MAC Ambering Rose not an exact match but close.

 

[Ingenue]

Thanks! I don't have the MAC version so that's another excuse to take a trip to R&R Beverly Hills!

I think Foreplay doesn't get enough love. I LOVE that one! I love my other R&R blushes too but Foreplay is unique to my collection. It's peach and it doesn't show up pink like other peach blushes I have. It looks boring in the pan, but I always look forward to wearing this when I go out

Spank is very lovely too. It looks so pale that I was afraid it would be powdery on my NC35 skin, but it's not! Very pigmented and in some angle, I can see a bit peach when i wear it.

I have 6 of their blushes and 1 eyeshadow, and even though I didn't see them in person before I ordered, their products did not disappoint me at all. Well, in exception of X-Rated since the color is too deep for me, so it's a little hard for me to wear. But overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase

For those who haven't tried them, I suggest you get at least one product from them. They're really lovely

I'm nervous about Foreplay. It does look SUPER boring in the pan from the pics I've seen. But more than that, I don't think it will show up. I'm an NC45.

Having said that, I was afraid that Spank wouldn't show up or if it did it would be ashy. But, it really does give the perfect, soft flush and again I'm a NC45.

Xrated a dupe for Taj Mahal? Did you mean All Nighter?

Shameless and Oasis are definitely not identical.
