Rock & Republic Call Me Blush
Where are my coral blush fiends?
Rock & Republic Call Me Blush ($40.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a gorgeous shade of shimmering pinky-coral with peach shimmer-sheen. It’s really a ringer for Lancome’s Mandarin Sky (which I also loved), but more-sheen-than-shimmer (and not quite as pink) NARS Orgasm. I’m obsessed. OBSESSED. with coral blushes, whether they’re pink-coral, peach-coral, or orange-coral, I’m all over them.
Call Me is beautiful on both cooler and warmer skin tones–it doesn’t have strong orange undertones, so it can work just as nicely on those with pink undertones as those with yellow or olive undertones. It is, obviously, most complimentary on warmer complexions, though. The shimmer is incredibly fine and appears as a soft glowy sheen on cheeks.
It’s a very pigmented, smooth textured powder blush; surprisingly impressive for a brand that’s been pulled from all the counters I know of. Even more impressive given that this brand regularly shows up on discount sites at 50% off. It’s well worth the $40 price tag, since it is a high-end/luxury line, but the compact itself is quite large–and not just the physical compact, but the product inside weighs in at an impressive 0.32 oz. (most blushes are between 0.15 and 0.21 oz.). Obviously, an incredible deal at $20 (which is how I got mine).

Rock & Republic Call Me Blush
Christine, do you know where I can purchase Rock and Republic blush? Hautelook and Rock and Republic no longer have it. Thanks !
Christine, if you have to choose between RR Call Me, NARS Orgasm, or Le Metier Echo, which one would you choose?
Echo.
I am so incredibly jealous you have this! NARS Orgasm is more shimmer than pigment so it doesn't work for me and I was looking forward to this, unfortunately R&R said it wouldn't carry this shade anymore =(. I don't understand why. My only hope is some sort of blog sale or swap, but not that many people had it in the first place.
I got my hands on it in a swap. It's so pretty and it's pinker than Orgasm on my NW43 skin, but that might have something to do with the fact that Orgasm barely shows up on my skin
wow it's beautiful
I love this color! Typically, I wouldn't think twice about paying $40 for a blush but this would have been my exception. I also contacted R&R to let them know how much this blush will be missed. Fingers crossed they will decide to restock it!
Gorgeous color :) How similar is it to NARS Deep Throat? I know you say that Deep Throat is a pinker version of Orgasm so just wanted to know if I could skip Call Me since I already have Deep Throat? Thanks!
A little more orange, haha. It's probably in-between the two -- it is also finer, more sheen less shimmer kind of finish. You could probably skip it ;) Unless you are a coral fiend, of course....
I'm HEEEERE!!! LOL. I am a coral blush fiend as well, and this just look gorgeous! Not sure how we can get it in Malaysia though.
This looks very lovely on you, Christine! I'm curious...how does this compare to LMDB's Echo?
Thanks, Aida! It is similar, but I'd say probably a bit pinker.
Looks gorgeous on you. I too love coral blushes. I've been using NARA Orgasm for awhile now but I was @ the MAC store the other day and bought Sincere. It looked so pretty on the sales associate. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this matte blush. Thanks, Christine.
Oops, I meant "NARS." :)
I don't own Sincere :(
I understood that Rock and Republic was discontinuing its makeup line? Anyone else hear that?
I haven't heard for sure yet.
I still have this one new in the box, along with all the other R&R blushes when they went on clearance on Hautelook last year. After seeing how gorgeous this looks on you, I will be finally cracking open these round boxes to play with this baby.
oh i've been wanting some rock and republic cosmetics for so long and I guess it's now or never. this looks like nars orgasm
Very pretty color. I think R&R had a sale on Hautelook a several weeks ago. I should've picked up a few for myself. I've heard many great reviews about them. I really like how much product they give you too.
I really want this blush but it hasn't showed up on the R&R website in weeks. I've been stalking the website everyday to check out the restock situation and they keep. Restocking every color except Call Me. I'd even pay regular price for it but there are no stores that carry the R&R line either.
I'll be crossing fingers it comes back in stock soon!
i contacted r&r and they said they will not be restocking this colour anymore! i am devastated!
Oh no! Did they say why?
no explanation :( if only they knew how many people looove this blush! i have been searching for something comparable, but nothing has that "sheen" that i love about this, and the perfect peachy-pink balance.
Pretty, I love shades in this colour family as well and I can't have enough of these.
I was lucky enough (unbelievable to me) to be able to get this blush from R&R. I also have 3 others, but this one is my favorite...smooth, silky, gorgeous color.
Wow $20 for that much is a good deal...but $40 is the non discounted price? Hmm I was also wondering why they were taken away from counters. :) Besides that it really is a beautiful color.
I loooove coral blushes. They look best on me (I'm warm toned, very pale, a redhead). This one looks so beautiful!
soooo pretty! i'm still in love with manderin sky btw. LOVE it! love it love it love it! i've actually kind of been grooving on a few lancome products lately, which isn't really like me. lol. blushes and their metallic finish eyeshadows. i bought 2 more the other day. i just can't stop! there's a pink eyeshadow (makeover? i think) that is SO beautiful on the cheeks...
Haha! YAYYYYYY! I am REALLY happy you love it, though. It's like validation!
Hi Christine! That blush is so lovely! Do you know which websites sells R&R blushes for 50%?
HauteLook has them usually!
The lips and the blush are just awesome on you! <3
Thanks, Rachael!
Wow this looks lovely and I love the sheen it has
I love this blush, too! Now it is almost impossible to get off of R&R site or all of those beauty sales sites. I managed to get it off of the last Hautelook sale, but it usually sells out in the first minute of the sale!
Ooooo I love it on you! For some reason it's much more of a light pink on me... wish it looked that corally.... but no worries since I still love it!! Especially the soft golden sheen :)
I love R&R products!! I'll need to add this to my list!
Such a lovely coral blush!!! I'm addictive to blush that are peachy or coral. What discount site did you get your blush from? Oh btw! I like your neutral eye with red lip look! Very glamour
HauteLook!
it looks like Shell Pearl Beauty Powder.
Shell Pearl looks nothing like this, IMO!
Im dying to try these blushes...but not at $40 a pop ..please let us know when u know about a deal!!! this one is gorgeous!
I list deals every week in the deal section :)
Christine, will you say this blush is similar to NARS Orgasm??
Hey Jennifer - I mentioned the similarity in the first paragraph :)
oo very pretty! i think R&R may still have a 40% off sale going on for their makeup. If i'm lying, i'm sorry! also, what lipstick/lipgloss combo are you wearing? I LOVE IT xoxo Y
