Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Revlon Consumer Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the public offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Exchange Notes”). The Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), provides for the guarantee of the Exchange Notes by the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture (guarantees by the Guarantors are referred to herein as the “Guarantees”). The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 of the Exchange Notes and the related Guarantees, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for a like principal amount of the Company’s issued and outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Original Notes”) and the related guarantees under the Indenture, as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the representatives of the initial purchasers of the Original Notes.

In rendering the opinions stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:

 

  (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-4 relating to the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”);

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Opinion Parties, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents, and the validity and binding effect on such parties. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Opinion Parties and others and of public officials.

We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and (ii) the laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type governed or contemplated by the Exchange Offer, the Indenture and the Exchange Notes (including applicable provisions of the New York constitution and reported judicial interpretations interpreting such laws) and, to the extent that judicial or regulatory orders or decrees or consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations, validations, filings, recordings or registrations with governmental authorities are relevant, to those required under such laws (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Opined on Law”). We do not express any opinion as to the effect of any non-Opined on Law on the opinions stated herein.

The Exchange Note Certificate, the Guarantees, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Agreements.”

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that when the Registration Statement, as finally amended, has become effective under the Securities Act, the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, the Exchange Notes (in the form filed as Exhibit 4.20 to the Registration Statement) and the Notations of Guarantee (in the form reviewed by us) have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and have been delivered upon consummation of the Exchange Offer against receipt of Original Notes surrendered in exchange therefor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Note Certificate and the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Company and each of the Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their terms.

The opinions stated herein are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) the opinions stated herein are limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

(b) except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we do not express any opinion with respect to the effect on the opinions stated herein of (i) the compliance or non-compliance of any party to any of the Transaction Agreements with any laws, rules or regulations applicable to such party or (ii) the legal status or legal capacity of any party to any of the Transaction Agreements; and

(c) except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we do not express any opinion with respect to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to any party to any of the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any such party or any of its affiliates as a result of the specific assets or business operations of such party or such affiliates.

In addition, in rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that neither the execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of the Transaction Agreements and delivery by each Opinion Party of the Transaction Agreements nor the performance by each Opinion Party of its obligations under each of the Transaction Agreements: (i) constitutes or will constitute a violation of, or a default under, any lease, indenture, instrument or other agreement to which any Opinion Party or its property is subject, (ii) contravenes or will contravene any order or decree of any governmental authority to which any Opinion Party or its property is subject, (iii) violates or will violate any law, rule or regulation to which any Opinion Party or its property is subject or (iv) requires the consent, approval, licensing or authorization of, or any filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority under any law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement being filed on the date hereof, and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. We also hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable law.

 

Very truly yours,
