I am Content - RMS Beauty

From left to right:

Magnetic cream eyeshadow, Myth cream eyeshadow, Illusive lip2cheek.

I was waiting for Magnetic to come back in stock at Content before placing an order for this and a couple of Dr Alkaitis bits. It came back in on Wednesday, and I was prepared to wait until after my holiday to order, but Content mailed my order out for me first thing on Thursday and I got it this morning (signed for.)

The cream eyeshadows do fade and crease. I don't mind this personally, as they are really easy to reapply with a fingertip. They don't look ugly when they do fade, because the overall effect is quite natural and glowy in any case. I like these for days when it is really hot and sticky, because anything will crease on me on that type of day, and at least these are easy to fix. They are also completely comfy on my dry and tetchy eyelids. You could use a powder eyeshadow over the top to set the cream, but I like the glossy look worn alone.

Magnetic is a light/medium Taupe with neutral shimmer - I'm wearing it today. Myth is a reddish copper with gold shimmer - it's probably the most high fashion of the cream eyeshadows, and it borders on a red. I find it brings out the green in my sludge coloured eyes.

Illusive is gorgeous. It's a natural plum/rose/brown, very similar to Benefit Good to Go lipstick in colour, but the RMS does not make my lips peel off. There is no shimmer and it gives a non-glossy stain to the lips, but does not dry them out. I could upload a (probably out of focus) picture wearing Magnetic and Illusive if anyone would find it useful or interesting.

At £28 each, these products are not inexpensive. They do condition and treat the skin as well as add colour, and I like the ethos of the brand very much - the ingredients are extremely high quality, and none are heated above body temperature in order to preserve the nutrients in them. This would be a good range to try if you react badly to traditional cosmetics. You can read more about the brand at Content.

I can't praise Content highly enough - I've ordered from them four times now, and each time has been a positive experience. They ship quickly and pack intelligently (the stuff is always safe, but not overpackaged and there is no waste) and they include relevant samples in each order. I'm going to try to visit the shop off Marylebone High Street, although I do worry at the damage I'd do to the fripperies fund inside it!
