Rouge Bunny Rouge Long-lasting Eye Shadow in Delicate Hummingbird. A Scene from the chronicles of Makeup Addicts Anonymous.
INT. SUB BASEMENT OF ABANDONED LOW QUALITY COSMETIC MANUFACTURER WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
PINKSITH stands at a podium in a dimly lit room with a naked light bulb hanging overhead. the room is smokey and dim and there are hundreds of faceless women in the audience.
PINKSITH
Hello. My name is PinkSith and I am an addict.
FACELESS GROUP
(in unison)
Hi PinkSith
PINKSITH
Hello. I appreciate you all allowing me to share my story with you. It all started back in May of 2011. I was only curious. I thought I could just look around. I thought I could just browse and be done with it. I was so very wrong. Twenty eight days later I had placed an order with THEM for IT. I didn't know that Pandora's box had been opened. As soon as I received IT I knew there was no turning back.
VOICE IN FACELESS GROUP #1
Who is THEM and what is IT PinkSith?
PINKSITH
(clearing her throat)
THEM is Zuneta.com a UK based beauty retailer that deals in brands from All For Eve to Yllume What's in the middle is IT. IT is Rouge Bunny Rouge Cosmetics. Zuneta seems to be the only place I know of to sate my addiction to Rouge Bunny Rouge cosmetics. I fear that I may never be free of the wanton desire for high quality eyeshadow and Rouge Bunny Rouge is fast becoming the axis to a balanced palette of colors, with wearable, blendable and adaptable textures and shades.
VOICE IN FACELESS GROUP #2
You can do it PinkSith. You can throw down the shackles of High End Cosmetic Addiction and settle for lesser quality off brand cosmetics. Be strong! One Day At A Time! look at us. We don't use good quality cosmetics any more and we look just fine.

(nervously)
You know what. I think I'm OK with the higher end brands. Ummm. yeah. I think I might be in the wrong meeting. I'm gonna go now. I'll just back my way out of the room and...

GET HER! She's trying to get away! Maybe she has some Rouge Bunny Rouge Shadow on her right now. Oh how I would KILL for a chance to wear Rouge Bunny Rouge Shadow just ONE MORE TIME!
Melee ensues. Makeup is being strewn about. Mostly bad but some treasures mixed in.
VOICE IN FACELESS GROUP #2
Look there is Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicate Hummingbird!
The sweet RBR Logo embossed on the top of the Smoky amethyst shadow. Hints of silver and gold blend in and make the most lovely purple one has ever laid eyes upon.
VOICE IN FACELESS GROUP #1
See how it looks almost like a fine piece of art? The shadow is finely milled and slightly hard to the touch. I would say it resembles the hardness of Bobbi Brown eyeshadows with the same great long lasting pigmentation. GIVE IT TO ME!
More struggling and the shadow is knocked loose from PINKSITH's hands

(swatching the Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicate Hummingbird shadow on her arm)
When worn with a primer this gem is a workhorse of a shadow that will last a good 10 hours or more. The purple is not red based so lining your eyes with the shadow does not lean toward that "I'm sick with Ebola virus" look. It leans more cool and gives that. "I'm a mysterious Russian Tzarina who may or may not make you fall in love with me from across the room" look. I MUST HAVE IT!
PINKSITH
(snatching the Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicate Hummingbird Shadow away)
Listen to me! I just want to leave peacefully. I don't want any problems with you. Let me go and I won't report you to the Beauty Police. Let me go and I promise to never darken your doors again.
FACELESS GROUP
(in unison)
Noooooooooooooo!
VOICE IN FACELESS GROUP #2
Tell us how you got it and how much it cost? At least do us that one kindness.
PINKSITH
(sighing)
OK. I purchased it for £ 22.00 (approximately $30-$35 USD depending on the conversion rate) and I got it from Zuneta.com. And yes. You NEED it! There Are you happy now?
PINKSITH wipes away a lone tear from her cheek showing that she is wearing the Rouge Bunny Rouge shadow on her lid with Armani Eyes To Kill Intense #4 to highlight and Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion on upper lid as her EOTD.
FACELESS GROUP
(in unison)
GET HER!
The FACELESS GROUP swarms PINKSITH and bits of makeup and cosmetics sponges and brushes are thrown about.

AHA! I've said a million times on MUA that this is pure purply taupe gorgeousness and nobody would listen! (well, I was probably too early, RBR wasn't in their radar back then).
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE EVERYBODY NEEDS IT!
Please write ALL your reviews like this. Rabid hoardes and high end MU are a perfect match.
ReplyDeleteHahah I always look forward to reading your posts, they are always so much fun! :D xx
ReplyDeleteI think this is the PERFECT Taupe!
ReplyDeleteI NEED RBR in my life :(

HAHA this is the best review ever!! What got me laughing out loud, literally, was picturing cosmetic sponges bouncing off of people's heads at the end. lol. anyhow, great swatch. I think MUA should = makeup artist OR makeup anonymous. Hi, I'm Jenn, and I'm a makeup addict.
ReplyDeleteI'm Marcia and I have a jones for Rouge Bunny Rouge. We can start our own group if you want since even those ghouls won't stop us when we are determined.
ReplyDeleteLove your review!
At the risk of being banished from Makeup Addicts Anon I admit I do not own Delicate Hummingbird did I hear gasps? But I did just place an order for Abysinnian Catbird can I still be in the club?
ReplyDeleteDamn, you're right - I really liked this post, too! :P And Humming bird looks amazing, of course.
ReplyDeleteDarn you!
YES! You've joined the dark side!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Wave goodbye to the money as the RBR addiction begins ;)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of RBR :D I am obsessed with this brand too, and I love this eyeshadow. I get compliments whenever I wear it, without fail. It looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteYou are hilarious! I have never tried RBR - but Marcia did a guest post on my site for a blush and I think they have the coolest logo I've ever seen - and they have "bunny" in the name...It's so easy to talk myself into buying stuff!!
ReplyDeleteaah You gave me a much needed laugh and unfortunately more encouragement to buy that oh so lovely delicate hummingbird shadow that I've been eyeing on Zuneta regularly. lol
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I hate you for making me want this eyeshadow more than ever, or if I love you for writing what may be the greatest blog post of all time.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHA! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous and your writing is pure awesomeness! ;)
