I recently got a few blushes from Rock & Republic due to a www.BeautyStory.com sale. Now although Rock & Republic is known as high-end American jean brand, they have branched out and currently offer a clothing line for men, women, and children as well as shoes, handbags and cosmetics. Now Rock & Republic Cosmetics is a high-end/luxury line available at select Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale locations, as well as online. Rock & Republic blushes packaging is a heavy silver plastic with the R&R logo raised over a black background on the front. it opens up to a big heavy mirror, the closure is magnetic. And for a luxury line such as this the packaging is perfectly over the top. Now you receive your blush in a mini hat box which is nice but at the same time make's it hard to store in a train case due to the size of the round box.

Now Rock & Republic blushes retail for $40 USD (which for some is a bit high but again you guys this is a high-end/luxury line and you are paying for the brand name, packaging etc.) But I didn't pay reg. retail price!!! I am a memeber of HauteLook and BeautyStory. These are sites that are geared to sample sales where you receive anywhere from 30% to 80% off retail price!!! I ordered my blushes from BeautyStory where the blushes were priced at 50% plus I receive $15off and $10off my orders using discount codes from a few beauty blogs I follow on twitter. I purchased 3 blushes and was very thrilled to get blushes that were bold, and bright. Rock & Republic are pressed powder blushes that are extremely pigmented, with a smooth, silky texture. Available in three finishes: matte, shimmer and transluent and can be used to highlight or accent. Now Rock & Republic are pressed powder blushes are available in 10 shades. I pick up 3 of the boldest color from this line and all of them happen to be matte which I love but can be little difficult for some to apply {tip: a light hand and a good brush are essential to applying very pigmented matte blushes} I picked: Kinky a cool, bright hot matte pink, X-Rated a deep rasberry pink, and Immoral a bright construction vest orange. I picked these colors because they are pretty unique shades and very worth trying. Now I only got 3 blushes because the other colors {Bedroom a matte guava pink, Foreplay a matte peach, Lust a sparkly red with gold, and Shameless  a sparkly reddened brown with gold} I wanted to get had all sold out :( Now if your they type of person who's put off by racey names like ike Tease, Kinky, X-Rated and Immoral, then these may not be for you but if you can look pass these names (which I happen to love but I also love the way NARS names it's line also so....) Then these blushes are for you. And let's face it we all love our makeup porn don't we lol.

Immoral: a bright construction vest orange

X-Rated: a deep rasberry pink

Kinky: a cool, bright hot pink
