I was also told that you can only refer one friend and again I told them that is not what their email said. Of course they said that is how they are going to do it now. All of my readers that signed up for this promotion got nothing but lied too. As of now they are going to have a supervisor call me and explain to me that they can do whatever they want with this promotion. I am not going to do business with this company anymore. This is just bad business and I can't support this kind of bait and switch tactic.

OMG!!! Thanks Vixxan. That is some bull! I will not buy anything either...I really wanted Call Me and Bedroom, but I won't patronize those tactics.

Does anyone know how if the original company (in this case R&R) gets any proceeds from the sales that are on Hautelook, Gilt, Ideeli, etc.?

lol...Vixxan...I just checked my account with them again and now the "My Rewards" tab is back and the credit is there.
But...they have now included restrictions of $75 minimum order AND only 1 credit can be used per order...lol. I hope you guys who placed orders get yours! I think I'm good with my Lust and All-Nighter blushes...this fiasco has totally turned me off from them!

Well, in unrelated news I was able to get All Nighter before the sale ended and I love it! My 2nd favorite!

Ack! I see Rock & Republic is still cutting up.

I went to the store on Thursday and they had one more Call Me Blush in there. I almost got it... but I have enough. If one of you ladies wants it, it's at the Beverly Hills store. According to the salesperson the makeup line is going away. Period. Once it's gone online, it's gone.

I'm really saddened by the business practices of this company. They had such a gem with this makeup line. And it's just a shame that they decided to let it go and screw over a couple of customers in the process.

Oh yeah, that one is the BEST blush that they have. First one I ever got from R&R. There is NOTHING like that pink. And it's pigmented... even on brown skin! Love that blush!

I didn't get my hands on that one before the Rock & Republic nightmare started and I doubt that I will be getting it now. My top three blushes from R&R are:
1. Shameless
2. Seduce
3. All Nighter

It looked like a pale orange on my screen so I didn't get it when I had the chance

Yes!! I am debating on buying Tease. Do you have it? Any thoughts? I think that will be it for me unless I can pick up Call Me buy some miracle. Although I do want another pressed powder.

I have Tease and it's my least favorite of all of them. I have to pile it on for it to show up just a little bit. Call Me is really nice on brown skin but Shameless and Lust are so much better.

Interesting. I have Lust and I'm not wild about it. It's just....I don't know....ok. I think it has a bit too much shimmer for me.

LOL

That's exactly what I don't like about call me. Disco cheeks to go.

Did you see that swatches that I posted of them? Tease will show up with a lot of work and for me there is not special about it on my skin tone. Call me applied over my foundation looks like shimmer.

Also, I did get the tinted primer and illuminizer. The dark (Grace) color will work fine on most dark skin tones. The illuminizer is not a tinted moisturizer it's more like a liquid mineralized skin finish. They are both very nice products. The primer adds just a touch of color nothing over powering.

I did. I think you said you are an NC50...is that correct? You have a slightly deeper complexion so it's always a little hard to gauge how colors will show up on me. Not to mention with differences in lighting, camera settings and monitor settings it is always hard to see what products really look like. For instance, your swatch of All Nighter looks a little different on your skin versus mine.

I am NC50. That's a good point. I just tried tease and call me on my son's (he doesn't like you anymore) are he is around nc40 and they both show up. On his arm call me is a beautiful peachy gold color and tease is a pretty pale pink.

Oh it's not orange at ALL! It's a cool pink.

I do have tease... it's a little more 'plummy' in comparison to Spank. I still prefer Spank though. Tease can be a little warm on me. I'm NC43 for comparison.

I have Tease also -- it almost goes on like MAC Azalea Blossom on me (i am NW 20-25). Kind of a cool toned lilac.

I love Spank because it is not tool cool or warm. Kinda a peachy pink on me.

I also love Call Me -- it doesn't appear shimmery on me. More of a glowy natural look, which I love. Interesting how it shows up so shimmery on some!

I am bummed the cosmetic line is going out and that their customer service is so poor. Someone drove that line right into the ground
