AHHH!!! Everyone's favorite denim line-Rock & Republic- has come out with their own cosmetics line and yours truly couldn't be more excited! I love Rock & Republic ever since I tried on their jeans (their Berlin jean is the PERFECT FIT SKINNY JEANS EVER!!) But my student budget couldn't fork out the $200 needed for a pair of jeans.
But worry not my fellow fashionista beauties! If you don't want to dish out the $200 for a pair of skinnies, grab your Hello Kitty debit card (Bank of America anyone???) and run-not walk- over to your nearest Nordstorm stores, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and rockandrepublic.com dish out the $26 for a lippie.
The packaging= AMAZING! The names of some of the products are soo clever (lippie= Loudmouth, blush=Kinky) and honestly these are around the same price for other high end cosmetic companies.
Bound: Gel eye liner has a long wearing formula and comes in a variety of bright shades including a bright green called Toxic and a deep purple known as Torture (what I want).
Classic $46: The tinted primer is SPF 20 and smoothes out wrinkles and imperfections. It also contains caffeine and vitamin E to help fight free radicals.
Trickery $48: Rock & Republic's Tinted Illuminizer adds a subtle glow.
Imitate $28: The mousse blush has a soufflé formulation that melts into the skin.
Luxe Lip Gloss, $26:High shine and maximum moisture in a lustrous bullet. Luxury has never tasted so good.Provides maximum moisture in a non-sticky texture.Buildable intensity Long-wearing formula.
Eyeshadow $28: A soft, ultra-blendable texture and has a unique, creaseless formula that stays put. Richly pigmented shades come in matte, shimmer, and satin finishes. 
Accentuate $225 ($45 for refills): The Bronzer/Highlighter duo comes in a compact decorated with Swarovski crystals and is refillable. It has a kabuki brush and the matte finish bronzer is housed with one of three highlighter shades: coral, pink, or gold.
Contrived Pressed Blush $40: Comes in three different textures—matte, shimmer, and translucent—and ultra-flattering shades. Highlights every contour and adds glowing life to the complexion.
Exhibition Pressed Powder $44: Ultra-smooth, soft and silky texture gently caresses your complexion while while eliminating shine. Evens out tone and absorbs oil transforming skin into the perfect canvas. Use a final dusting over face to keep makeup perfectly set for hours.
I especially want the pressed powder because I am addicted to pressed powders and I was happy (ok..OVERJOYED) to find that they have different skin tones/ colors. And the darker tones isn't simply labeled "3" or "Dark". They have FOUR different dark tones. FOUR!!! Chanel has ZERO (but they do have a bronzer but still...), Dior has ZERO (but it does have a "Transparent Dark which would be fit for a light skin black girl...think Alicia Keys), see where I'm going with this???***
And how could I deny lip gloss?? That's my must have product ever..so I'm kinda excited about these lippies.
***this is just based on my experience and my research online. If anyone else has found that these companies make pressed powder fit for darker girls let me know!! Sister girl wants her some Chanel =)
