Rock & Republic Blushes - Currently 2 for $15.99

As a makeup minimalist I always feared color on my face. I only tried blush after reading this post by Jen of Frmheadtotoe, and I've been hooked since. A delicate sweep of color on your cheeks make the difference between lively and "blah." I got my first R&R blush through Hautelook then bought many many more through other sample sales. I paid $20-25 a piece (retail $40) which was a huge splurge for me, but they are just so fun. Thanks Jen for spreading the love on these!

Last night while gift shopping online, I wanted to get a few of these for girlfriends. I've seen a few beauty blogger posts on how to stack two discounts on RockandRepublic.com to get these babies for $8 a piece...everything was out of stock then, but some colors have since magically reappeared.

Colors in stock now: Tease (my fave; I am wearing this in my last post), Seduce, and X-rated
