Of course Sandra Bullock would be obsessed with Rock&Republic glosses — she’s married to Jessie James after-all and the brand’s glosses are the total poster child for rock meets glam! Their Luxe Lip Glosses ($26) are high on the shine and relatively low on the shimmer and don’t apply with too much color so you can easily layer on for as much richness as you like (perfect for those who are looking for a gloss they can wear during the day to the office and out to the clubs at night:-)). My one peeve with the gloss is that I wish it had a brush applicator instead of a sponge one (why is it that so few makeup brands use brushes!?). Sponges always leave my lips a bit sticky, but on the plus side the gloss is long-lasting and the packaging is a serious bonus for me! Simple and sleek, the gloss has a black top with the Rock&Republic logo boldly displayed in thick silver letters on the cap. My fave color is “Sexy Beast” which is a lot lighter than you’d think looking at it. My lips are fairly dark and this color gave them a nice, quick boost of shine, but again you could layer on for more color. Now if only getting my hands on the Rock&Republic ‘Stiletto’ shoe in my size (come on — how fun are these!? Dying that they’re sold out!), would be as easy as applying this gloss!!
