Rock & Republic: Snob or Slob?

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?
