Oh, Rock & Republic…how I adore thee! There isn’t anything from the line that I’ve tried so far, and haven’t loved or really liked. So far, it’s a very solid cosmetic brand giving you your money’s worth (and not many brands can deliver that). At first glance, all of the items are very pricey…but when you dig a little deeper and realize the great quality, packaging and overall awesomeness you’re getting — the prices are more than worth it. Just about every R&R product I’ve purchased has been from sort of sale. I recently picked up 12 of their eyeshadows, which I’ll admit I wasn’t in a big hurry to buy, but I’m glad I did. They’re incredible.
Each Rock & Republic eyeshadow is $28 and weighs in at a good 0.11oz/3g, and is gorgeously tucked away into it’s signature metal case donning the super sexy R&R logo. There’s a little mirror inside of each eyeshadow compact, which is something you don’t get with most eyeshadows (but will find in a few high-end brands). You get double the amount of product as you would a MAC eyeshadow (which is 0.5oz/1.5g and $14.50). However, If you hurry, you can buy these babies at $14 $7 a piece (use code ROCKCOSMETICS to get the additional 50% off)…
Available in three finishes: matte, satin or shimmer
Long wearing, formulated for easy application
Richly pigmented
Fine jet-milled powder
Full range of shades
Just like their amazing blushes, the eyeshadows are insanely pigmented, lush and gorgeous. Do you know what this means? This means I want them all. Every single last one lol. I MUST HAVE THEM!!! If you could see the maniacal spaced-out yet serious look I’m giving you all right now 
But no seriously, they’re beautiful eyeshadows and I’m kicking myself in the ass for not buying them sooner.

All eyeshadows were swatched with a MAC 252 brush, using Lorac Behind the Scenes eye primer as a base. I’m gonna try my best to describe the colors and finish of each eyeshadow I have here…don’t laugh..
- Fatalistic – smokey matte charcoal black
- Denim – dark smokey matte blue
- Ammo – shimmery golden bronze
- Fuel – shimmery sunshine gold
- Envy – satin smokey green (similar to MAC’s Humid eyeshadow)
- Tribal – matte chocolate brown
- Wrath – shimmery rosy golden brown
- Spy – satin neutral nude
- Exile – shimmery golden taupe
- Alloy – shimmery rosy peach
- Ambition – shimmery light yellow gold (very similar to MAC’s vanilla pigment)
- Chronic – satin golden army green
So, should you buy these? Well, they’re on sale right now for just $14 $7 each…so my answer for you would be “Heck yes!”. Right now they’re $7.50 cheaper than a MAC eyeshadow and double the product, so they’re MORE than worth it. If you have room for these gorgeous little darlings then I think you’ll be pretty darn happy with your purchase. I will be buying the rest of them over the course of the sale, hopefully. If I don’t buy them all, I will definitely get a good amount lol. I’m completely sold on Rock & Republic, they’ve proven to be a phenomenal brand with incredible sales!

Thanks for this post. Everyone is talking about these but the swatches Ive seen have been not convincing.
You’re welcome!
Gorgeous! I just did a haul as well.
Use coupon code ROCKCOSMETICS for an additional 50% OFF. So that’s $7 per eyeshadow!
OMG thank u for letting me know! i didn’t know that code was still valid *does a cartwheel*
Whoa! Now I may have to go back to the site. *Rushes off*
If you use “ROCKCOSMETICS” at checkout you get an additional 50% off!
THANKS!!!
Oh wow, you really captured the beauty of the e/s with your pics! now i want em all!
im totally about to buy the rest right now
The packaging is super chic. I like these colors but I can’t buy any more shadows b/c I just received my naked palette. *Boo-hoo* Let us know when the blushes go on sale. I’m interested more in those. Thanks for sharing tho.
A lot of people find the packaging to be bulky, and it is, but i still love it. I think its really beautiful.
I’m salivating! Those are so pretty! I LOVE denim, but ammo, alloy and wrath are lovely too! As soon as I can afford ‘em and a sale comes along I will be giving these a try!
i JUST found out they’re $7 each w/ code ROCKCOSMETICS!!
The denim one is gorgeous, it’s exactly the shade I wanted. I bet you can’t order if you’re in the UK..
try it babe!
Ugh, I hate you. Not really. I just hate that you make me want to buy things I probably don’t actually need. Love all the brown/bronze shades and Denim is perfect.
denim is beautiful!
I just ordered 3 using the 50% coupon code you posted on twitter. Thanks!
Thanks for the swatches and the coupon code! I just ordered a few things… I can’t wait to try R&R cosmetics
i cant wait to get my goodies, i orderd a crapton of shadows w/ that 50% off code LOL
Girlllllll, you are the BOMB! You got me hooked on the R&R blushes like a crackhead and now, you got me feenin’ for these eyeshadows. I used the coupon code and got 6 of them: Tribal, Ambition, Fuel, Scorch, Adrenaline and Denim. I so can’t wait for these to get delivered. Thanks girl (and we miss you)!!
I bought seven of these last week and I can’t wait for them to arrive! I have to admit that the shipping was expensive though. The fact that they were only $7 did make up for the shipping costs.
I have only read great things about this company and their makeup, so I am super excited that I made the purchase. I also purchased Immoral blush from ebay.
I think I’m going to order more as well! Thanks for the great review!
yea the shipping is dumb!!!! mine was free cuz i spent over $150 but i am hearing stories of it being like $15-$25 for some ppl, wtf?? i think its cuz its Fedex, they’re ridiculous w/ the shipping charges, but enjoy your shadows babe!
I got 10 eyeshadows!!! Thanks, Resha!!! I have been eying these eyeshadows since you introduced me to their blushes, I’ve just been scare to purchase them.
I just wish the shipping would have been cheaper.
Hey Sara, ur welcome sweets! I love their makeup and yes, the shipping is RIDICULOUS!
I just purchased 7 shadows for $40.95 and that includes shipping. Shipping was kind of high so I just assume the shadows have a little weight to them.
they’re pretty heavy, but they use Fedex, which is always 10 bucks more than UPS smh.
Glad you’re back. I missed ya!! lol. Great review as always. I need to try some of their eyeshadows as I have almost all their blushes and love them. Thanks girl!
at $7 a pop, i would have been a fool not to at least TRY these. i think i only picked up 3 or 4, since i am not yet wise in the ways of makeup, but from the swatches, i think they’re colors that will work for me.
which colors did you get?
I got my eyeshadows on Friday (fastest shipping ever!!)
Now I need you to do some tutorials on these, cause I have no idea what to do with them.
I got: Alloy, Chronic, Denim, Electric, Envy, Fade, Lost, Paranoid, Revenge, & Wrath.
I just bought Provocative for $11.20 from today’s HauteLook sale. Can’t wait to try it! Also snagged Mistress lip gloss. Sadly, the blushes I wanted sold out within the first hour.
Hi,
I was just wondering if the additional 50% off is still going on and does it include the whole rock & republic cosmetic line?
Thank You.
i’m not sure if its still going but if you’re able to use it at checkout then it still works. and yea it includes all the makeup.
you can also save $25 if you invite a friend and the friend spends $75…you will get $25 and the friend will get $25 off of the $75 purchase..that should help with the expensive shipping, i ordered every color with the exception of $5 and thw shipping was .99 at the time so it was cool…
I am so on here doing my research for the sale on hautelook this coming Monday. I love how you are so thorough! I have a test 7:45am and I’m trying to work out how I can get on my phone to order exactly at 8am!
