RMS Beauty specializes in toxin-free, organic beauty products that are advertised to heal and nourish skin. Their line includes six eyeshadows, all creams. I’ve been tempted to try the line based on favorable reviews, including The London Makeup Girl, who has a site that I adore. I decided to buy Seduce ($28), a warm shimmery brown, from the online site The Spirit Beauty Lounge.
The texture of these is very unique–I don’t know of any thing like them. The closest product is probably Shiseido’s Hydro-Powder cream eyeshadows, but even those are heavy and opaque by comparison. RMS’ Seduce is a very lightweight cream that leaves a very noticeable sheen on the lid. The sheen effect is similar to Chanel’s Ombre D’Eau water-based eyeshadows, but the RMS looks more gel-like and not at all powdery. I did not use any primer, because I thought it might interfere with any moisturizing properties that the shadows might have. In case you are wondering, Seduce did leave my lids noticeably more moisturized.
I’ve worn Seduce about four or five days over the past few weeks, and I found myself reaching for it more and more. The application is literally dab-and-go: One finger swipe on each eye and I’m done. The lid looks moisturized, glowy and with a touch of color. It’s very flattering and doesn’t look like I tried too hard.
I tried to bring out the sheen when taking these–don’t they make the skin look nice and alive? Here’s a swatch next to Shiseido’s Tiger Eye Hydro-Powder. Although the colors are not the same, I wanted to show the different textural qualities of each (click to enlarge):
I really like the convenience of these eyeshadows, and of course I love that my lids looks nice and moisturized. I’ll definitely be ordering more of these would like to try a few other colors–there’s a sandy gold (Solar), a cool white (Lunar) and a silvery grey (Magnetic) that I’d like to try in the future.
Have you ever explored organic makeup? I’d love to learn more if you have any experiences you’d like to share in the comments.

Amy, you said you didn’t use a primer, so I was wondering how well the shadow wore. Any creasing or fading? The gel formula seems sheer and delicate–perfect for daily wear when you want a very natural look. I’d love to see the silver gray (Magnetic) since gray can have so many different undertones: blue-gray, green-gray, brown ray, gray gray–you name it! If you get it, I hope you’ll swatch it. As always, your posts are a delight to read. Thanks, Amy.
Hi Eileen-that’s a good question. Grace from The London Makeup Girl specifically said that she noticed some creasing, so I was on the lookout for that. I did notice a little bit of gathering of the product in my crease after a few hours which I easily swiped away. I did notice slight fading too. It didn’t trouble me too much–the effect was still fine for the casual look I was wanting. You are quite correct that these are easy natural looking shadows–but they do not have the all-day precision of a primer-set shadow. I’m happy to post more swatches when I order & get them. I noticed that The Spirit Beauty Lounge has an occasional 20% code so I’ll likely wait for the next promo from them. In the meantime, I believe that Grace has posted a video make-over where she used Magnetic. Take care Eileen & thanks for your comment!
Hi – well you just pushed me over the edge into ordering this one too! I do love these, they are so easy. I have yet another cold, and I’m wearing Magnetic because it actually feels soothing on sore eyelids. I’d say Magnetic is a slightly mauve-taupe silver shade.
Thank you for the lovely comment about my blog too
Aw, I’m sorry to hear that you have a cold, Grace–I hope that you feel better soon!
I’m totally going to cave on rms soon. I love organic makeup and skincare.
These are really nice quality–I can see investigating more organic lines but not before I try RMS’ Magnetic too. Take care and thanks for the comment!
