Something was missing in my makeup. I was always frustrated with the products I was using, even though they were doing what they claimed. I wanted my skin to look like skin, I wanted my freckles to show, I wanted my skin to look healthy. I knew I had to change what I was using, not just how I used it.
On the other hand, when I think of all natural and organic makeup, I jump to the conclusion that it won't work, and at higher prices I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the chance. I finally started researching, and RMS Beauty was one of the first to draw my interest. It was created by Rose-Marie Swift, a celebrity makeup artist who saw a need for healthy, no fuss makeup for the everyday woman. It's recommended to use your fingers to warm up the product and blend it in to the skin, which I love. I immediately wanted to try everything, but being higher-end, I decided it would be wise to sample multiple products with one of her Signature Sets.
After much debate, I decided to go with The Signature Set in Mod. It's colors are a little more on the muted side, and I was mostly interested in trying the raved-about Living Luminizer highlight.
The Master Mixer is the first shade, which I used as an eyeshadow, but it can also be used as a highlight. I love the glossy look on the eye.
The top right shade is the Living Luminizer which is a gorgeous, glassy highlight, that gives your skin a natural glow without glitter, and is potent enough to shine through if you powder over it.
The Second Row is made up of 2 Lip2Cheek Shades, Smile and Spell. They both give a warm, natural flush to the cheeks, which can be built up or easily blended out if too much is applied. Which I do every time.
The bottom row is a skin balm, which I believe can be used all over the face, but I just use it on my lips. It's nothing ground-breaking, but it does it's job.
I also received a sample size of their "Un" Cover Up concealer. I have trouble with concealers. I have pretty deep fine lines and dark circles, because babies. I haven't been completely happy with one yet, and I don't think this will be the exception. It is natural looking on the skin, and even though it applies a little sheer, it makes the skin look nice and healthy. It went on fine under my eyes, but unfortunately broke out some sensitive areas, like my nose and forehead. This could be due to the main ingredient being coconut oil, so that's something to consider before trying this brand. Luckily, I didn't have this problem with the other products.
I love these products. They're definitely your-skin-but-better, with a healthy, eco-friendly bonus.
The biggest complaint I've seen is about the lack of mirror, but that's what makes it completely recyclable after it's empty. The compact is a little smaller than expected, but it's price lines up with the amount of product included. I love how sleek it is, and how sturdy it feels sturdy with a secure clasp, which is necessary for food-grade products.
