And Rock & Republic Returns Again

 Rock & Republic always has a code "ROCKCOSMETICS" for 50% off their makeup, and around 2 weeks ago, all their eyeshadows were marked half off final sale! That came down to $7 per eyeshadow with the discount, so I had to take advantage of the offer. I have already tried the eyeshadow in Lost posted here and I knew about the great quality. I also love the glam packaging. The only bad thing I can say is that they're shipping is currently about $13 and I live in California, the same state they ship from. Super disappointing, especially since they used to have 99 cent shipping. The discount makes up for it in my opinion. :)

I decided on the eyeshadows Femme (pale pink), Twisted (blue-purple duochrome), and Vintage (light warm brown). I had a lot of trouble deciding which colors to get, but Karlasugar has some of the best swatches!

There were only three blush colors left to choose from, but I knew a definitely wanted to try them since I heard about the great pigmentation. The color I chose was Immoral. It's super vibrant in real life; my picture captures it pretty well. A very light swipe with a finger still produced a vibrant coral color.

The eyeshadow that interested me most was Twisted, with this blue, purple duochrome quality. A lot of swatches online look different depending on the lighting, so I decided to try it with different cream eyeshadows as a base. The first one is just a black cream shadow from Benefit. It looks like a deep eggplant color. In the middle, I used the Stila Purple Pumps which yielded a vibrant grape shade. Last on the right was Stila Cobalt Blue smudgepot, giving the eyeshadow more of a violet blue sort of hue. I love the range of Twisted!

Here I am wearing Twisted over Stila's Purple Pumps and a darker blue color from the Stila Tokyo Palette in the outer corner.

 A closer look (but I only took one picture and that ended up blurry...).
I have been experimenting with Femme and Vintage for an everyday look, but a FOTD will come later. Femme really evens out my eyelid area despite it being quite pink. I hope Rock & Republic does not discontinue these seeing as they're marked down half off.
