I have tried this, and I must admit.. I am VERY impressed. But as far as the price, not so much. It seriously is the best bronzer I have ever used on myself as well as others.. but all you are doing is paying for the Swarovski crystal compact. Not such a good marketing move for R&R .. They should carry a regular compact for us average consumers.. I know that the refills for the compact are around 45.00 at neiman marcus. Why not make a simpler version ? I do however recommend everyone at least TRY IT. You’ll fall in love. If I had no bills, and a grand job.. I’d most certain buy it.

I work at the warehouse where we store all Rock and Republic. I would not spend that amount! Rock and Republic is overly priced and it’s made in China and India. As for the makeup, It’s really nice and we all got the bronzer for free, however, I would not spend that amount on my own and don’t think your normal joe will be buying it either

Bronzer aside, I do believe that these prices are right on par with other high-end department store makeup, although I have no idea how many ounces are in each product. Because I am a dirt poor student, I’ll have to see if I can simply get my hands on a lip gloss or eyeshadow. I agree, however, that these products need to be AMAZING for the price; I have never liked companies that simply get by on packaging and name alone, without ever delivering quality products with ingredients that match what I’m paying for them *cough*Benefit*cough*. And I also admit that I am in LOVE with Rock and Republic’s clothing line; it was one of my favorite lines for Spring 2008, which does amp my excitement up for these products, despite the fact that I JUST said brand name shouldn’t play a factor in how much you like a product. I’m also really loving the packaging–it’s girly and sleek, yet chic and sophisticated. Who wants a bunch of neon flowers engraved all over her lipstick case anyway?

Ok…so i had to check this out in person and let me tell you the bronzer/highlighter is AMAZING!!!! Not only is the packaging ga-ga-gorgeous but the product inside is what i’ve been looking for in a bronzer (no shimmer but just a warmth of color w/ a highlight of shimmer on the side) Would i pay $225 for it…NO! But that’s only because i can’t afford it…i would however pay for their refill bronzer/highlighter which is only $45.00

I don’t buy their $275.00 jeans, but I might splurge for a $ 24.00 e/s if they’re fantastic…I don’t know the market is already so saturated with brands, look at Calvin Klein – how many times did they revamp that cosmetic line?
