"Remember you wear your skin - and your health - the rest of your life"

Living luminizer, 4.25grams.
Rating: 5/5
This year, this product won the US Elle Approved Award for The World's Best Beauty Products and it is well deserved. Why? you ask...well, let's discuss:
One of the best things about this product is that it goes on as a sort of neutral colour so it's suitable for all skin tones. But it does look like a pearly white in the jar, if you apply a lot of it then it will look whitish.
It applies smoothly, with no greasy residue I might add, and can be used all over! I tend to use a little on the bow of my lips, collar bones, inner corners of the eyes, cheek bones, brow bones and down the bridge of my nose. Obviously not all at once - I might blind someone! The effect is a gorgeous soft glow that really amps up your look without being too obvious. And, as an added bonus, it leaves the skin feeling moisturised.
It has also lasted ages, I've had it for 6 months and I've barely made a dent! According to the cafemakeup review this is probably because living luminizer contains no water and is just good stuff.
How to wear: put over lip2cheek and use as a lipgloss, or as mentioned above
Ingredients: Castor seed oil*, Coconut oil*, Beeswax*, Rosemary extract*, may contain Titanium dioxide (CI77891) and Mica (CI77019).
* Organic
Lip2Cheek in Illusive, 4.25 grams.
Rating: 4/5
Ok, this gets a little less because of application. A few reviews have mentioned that it's very dry, so here are a few tips:
- If you're going to use it as blusher, I've found that if you moisturise just before applying it goes on smoothly. If you don't moisturise then it can look a bit streaky/patchy.
- Another option is to mix it with a drop of face oil in your palm before applying, which gives a lovely sunkissed effect on the cheeks.
- And if you're going to use it as a lip stain apply dry for a bitten lip effect, or apply some lip balm and then blend it on.
Sheers;
- Muse - sheer nude-beige with a soft pink hue
- Smile - sheer modern coral/pink
- Promise - sheer fresh cherry pink
- Modest - warm pink with very subtle golden shimmer
- Illusive - matte burnt rose with a hint of plum
- Rapture - deep brown based red suitable for all skin tones
I've only used illusive, it's very flattering and is suitable for daytime and evening wear. Providing a warm glow for the daytime and a vampy plum for night-time!

I ordered both RMS products from being content, they arrived the following day in two recycled cardboard packages. The living luminizer and lip2cheek are packaged in small frosted glass pots that are roughly the same size as lip balms.
A bit about RMS
The RMS beauty line was developed by make-up artist Rose Marie Swift after a lifetime love affair with make-up. After a long period of ill health she found that she had high levels of heavy metals and pesticides in her body which had led to a weakened immune system.
She completely restructured her lifestyle, took her health into her own hands and researched cosmetics ingredients. Still in the cosmetics industry, she decided to take her health into her own hands and was shocked to find that so many chemicals are put into our cosmetics. This all led her to develop her own range of raw cosmetics.
As always I'd love to hear your comments!!
