The beauty community has raved about Rock & Republic blushes so much that they were extremely hard to obtain even when in stock. HauteLook had them on sale a few times, but X-Rated was the only one I was able to get back in January. It's unfortunate that these blushes are sold out and really hard to find now, unless you scour eBay.

The packaging for X-Rated isn't very practical. It's actually pretty bulky for the product inside. Nevertheless, I find its look very appealing. The box is sealed with two stickers of the blush's name on both sides. It comes in a weighty compact with no magnetic closure that could be inconvenient for traveling.
The blush has that 'pressed into the pan' feeling, but it is finely milled, nicely pigmented with very minimal fallout and has lasting power. X-Rated looks really bold in the pan but swatches a lot lighter and is very buildable if you want that extra flush of color.
I was able to nab this one for the reasonable price of 16$ compared to the 40$ retail. I wish other colors would come back into stock again, but I doubt that will happen. If anyone wants to give me a blush in Call Me or any other color, I'd happily take it off your hands! har har.. :(
