Yup! It started out with their line of denim when Rock & Republic first came on the scene. I remember it well. It was Sundance 2005 when, some how, I was able to get into many of these schwag houses. Those were the good days when several brands were giving away everything for free. I actually met the Founder Michael Ball. I got my first pair of R&R jeans and a couple of tops.
From there the line has grown to incorporate a full women and mens line, bags, belts, eyewear, shoes, and now…cosmetics.
The Cosmetics line was actually launched in September 2008. It’s a 116-piece collection with 10 product categories. The packaging is beautiful with black and chrome compacts featuring their well-known R&R logo. What I love about the line is the names that are given to the products,”train wreck”, trust fund”, “cougar”, etc.
What I question is the quality of products. With over fifteen years in the beauty biz, I find companies that are well-know for something, be it bath & body, skin care, or apparel, don’t necessarily do well venturing into a new category. I will say that everything from the jeans, to the shoes in the R&R line are fabulous, sexy, and wear well.
You can find the line at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdales. The line retails between $24 – $225 (for the Swarovski crystal bronzer/highlighting powder).
