Known for their sexy, slim jeans Rock & Republic is
launching a line of cosmetics on September 15th. The 116-piece
collection includes 10 product categories and was previewed at the Rock &
Republic Spring 2009 runway show where all the models were decked-out in the
new line of makeup. In keeping with their collection, which looked very fall
for a spring collection, they skipped light, bright, pastel makeup, in favor of
a rock-style spring smoky eye, with pale grays to lighten the eye, and luminous skin
to create a sexy, rocker-chic look. I haven’t personally tried the makeup yet,
but I’m impressed with the looks that were created for the show, so I have high
hopes for the line. That said, I was struck by one item in the collection — a Swarovski Crystal-embedded bronzer
compact that retails for $225 (it comes in three shades — Private Jet, Villa, and Penthouse — hmm — how appropriate). I’m all about the glitz and the glam, but is
this glitz and glam snob or glitz and tacky slob?
That’s way too pricey for makeup. If this bronzer cost as much as the whole collection, I think I’ll pass on this one.
agree with Diana, slob!
