I won’t focus on the fact I received my package of Rock & Republic eyeshadows nearly a week late, but instead focus on how happy I am to finally have them. I haven’t been this excited about a cosmetic brand for a long time, but Rock & Republic has made some awesome makeup. It’s really a shame that they’re discontinuing everything, but…I’m happy I was able to try out as many products as possible before they are gone forever.
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
So I ordered 26 additional Rock & Republic eyeshadows, after being beyond pleased with the first 12 I purchased. I also ordered an additional color, Snakeskin, which should be here soon. When it arrives, I’ll update this post with a swatch.

You can see 12 more Rock & Republic eyeshadow swatches here.
These are my favorite eyeshadows that I own, brand’wise. To me, they’re everything an eyeshadow should be — smooth, silky, richly pigmented, non-chalky, long-lasting, blendable, buildable, and beautiful. Rock & Republic totally nailed the formula, it’s gorgeous and these eyeshadows have the best texture. I really do love all of these, and feeling rather foolish after saying just last year, “Ehh, I don’t need anymore eyeshadows…I’m not interested in these at all”. Welp! That was a lie LOL!
Out of the 38 shades I have, here are my personal favorites:
- Exile
- Denim
- Ammo
- Alloy
- Chronic
- Tribal
- Hangover
- Brink
- Love Rocks
- Lost
- Diffused
- Sabotage
- Vintage
- Corrosive
- Scorch
- Ambition
- Privilege
- Fiend
A lot, I know…I do love them all but those are my top picks. There are a good 4 or 5 shadows that I didn’t buy yet, but will more than likely pick up soon. I think that you guys would truly love these eyeshadows if you haven’t already tried them. To pretty much have $21 taken off the $28 price is simply music to my wallet.
Hope this post was helpful to some of you
Don’t forget to check out more swatches here.
-Stay beautiful
Availability: Rock & Republic






Oh why did I have to see these. Great haul. (Runs to place order)
Awesome, I’m drooling over these! I love R&R shadows.
Thanks soooooooo much for doing this….i’m so in love with the packaging
Gah these are so awesome! Luckily I live in Australia, so I choose to believe that they will not ship here (but they might, and I’m not checking!). I really and truly don’t need any more eyeshadows, and I mean it!
Thanks for posting swatches! I ordered 5 eyeshadows and 1 blush and got my order in fairly quickly (got it in yesterday – my first makeup purchase ever from RnR). Although I hate Fedex they really surprised me this time around.
Just…..wow……
I love R&R so much, and I hate they are being discontinuing. I am ordering some more, I already gotten 6 of them. Thanks for making my purchase easier. Plus, I saw a young lady on YT depotting these. They would be easier to carry but I just love the case.
I love Adrenaline & scorch.
Very pretty.
What’s the difference between Love Rocks and Privilege?
great question. i will examine both when i get home and let you know
Hi there,
I was wondering if you knew where I could purchase ‘lost’. I borrowed it off my friend because its amazing and it smashed in my bag, feel awful and want to get her a new one but i cant find it on the website? any ideas? thanks
claire
These are sexy cases. I first saw them in a girlfriends kit and fell in love with them. Still trying to get my hands on the Tribal.
Luv It!
