RMS Beauty Sample Review

 

I’ve been a Beauty Editor for over 25 years now, and have worked for various online companies, the regional press and radio, and as you can imagine have tested hundreds of makeup brands over the years. Once in a while a brand will come along and take me by surprise, by its ingenuity, originality and of course the product itself. 

RMS Beauty is one of those brands that I know I’ll be recommending to my family, friends and all my readers. Every product that I have tested from the range is quite simply stunning.

RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush 7g RRP £33

I think you can tell from the photo how beautiful these shades are. From left to right:-

• Mai Tai - A shimmering multi dimensional apricot that brings alive warm toned skin. The light golden hues accentuate a tan and look amazing placed high on the cheekbones or under the brow bone.
• French Rosé - a delicate, rose pink that suits fair and medium toned skin with accents of silver highlights. It gives that delicate, inner glow of radiance, a translucent and healthy sheen.
• Pomegranate Fizz - a deep salmon pink, ideal for medium and dark skin tones, this gives a beautiful flush of shimmering pink.

I have tried to take the photos in different lights however, my camera cannot catch how multifaceted these shades are. There is no glitter, nor shimmer particles but the softest hue of light, that gives the skin a gentle glow. 

The velvet texture is initially a gel that transforms to a powder, which is buildable and lightweight. The formula can be used on cheeks, eyes and even dabbed on to the centre of lips with a gloss. The colour gives radiance and, as no shimmer particles, is incredibly youthful and ideal for all ages especially mature skin types. Often to get this finish, blushers are packed with particles and chalky pigments that sit on the skin, where as these just blend seamlessly. They come housed in a decent ‘snappy’ compact with a decent sized mirror. 

RMS Beauty Eyelights 8.5ml RRP £29

Wow, Wow and Wow, if you ever watch ‘Glow Up’ on BBC 1 then these are definitely a ‘Ding Dong’! First the packaging, like acrylic paint tubes, they come with a ‘key’ that is used to get every last bit of colour out (and you will want to). 

These paints may not look much from the packaging however, if you love metallic paints that blend well, have huge staying power and literally make your eyes ‘pop’ then these are for you. 

Like molten metals, you only need a tiny amount on your eyelid to blend out into a beautiful, lightweight shimmer. I think you can tell from the photo how metallic these are. You don’t need any other make up, simply apply a dab with your finger into the centre of your lid and quickly blend. They dry quickly and stay put all day! 

The colours suit all eye shades, and you can even mix them together to create your own unique colour. Pictured left to right is Blaze, Spark and Strobe. 

• Blaze - a deep bronze, that highlights a tan and looks stunning on blue eyes.
• Spark - a universal gold, dab a little into the corner of your eye or just on the centre of your lid. You can apply lightly over the other colours or just use on its own. You can also apply this to the centre of your cupids bow to highlight and give the illusion of fuller lips.
• Strobe - a gorgeous, shimmering taupe stunning on blue and green eyes. 

• Finally I tested Sunbeam, this stunning rich copper brings out the warm hues in brown eyes, just a smidgeon across the lids, a few layers of mascara and you have a hypnotic, evening look. 

The Eyelights are anti-aging, and actually treat the eye area with organic green tea and peptide quinoa extracts. Green Tea is cooling, and a natural anti-inflammatory, it helps reduce puffiness and irritation, whilst peptide quinoa helps smooth eye creases and can firm droopy, hooded eyes. 

RMS Beauty Liplights 9g RRP £29

Finally, I tested the Liplights. Again in similar packaging to the Eyelights, these too can be blended and tailor made to your own, personal colour preference. You only need a tiny amount and again they blend out to light, sheer texture but can also be built up for more coverage.

The Liplights also treat your lips with an abundance of skin nourishing and protecting ingredients such as:-

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter - this emollient is full of antioxidants that helps protect the lips from environmental aggressors (such as the sun and pollution).

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil - helps repair dry, chapped lips. Incredibly nourishing and helps keep lips feeling soft and supple.

Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil - a humectant that draws in water, so keeps lips feeling hydrated. Ideal if you have chapped lips from sun exposure. 

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter - nourishing, hydrating and fully of fatty acids to help keep lips looking plump.

Whilst they may look like a rich, gloopy texture, just one swipe across the lips gives more of a dewy and tinted hue. 

They give a very beautiful sheen, and here I’ve actually mixed a couple of shades together to create this natural colour, which just enhances my lips (Rumor and Crush). Easy and quick to apply simply dab on with your finger and blend out. You don’t even need a mirror!

I absolutely love this brand, so much so that I ignored my washing getting soaking wet as I wanted to get this out there! There’s a huge range of colours and I would urge you to visit the website to have a look (especially as there are sales on at the moment).
