Review: RMK - Ingenious W Powder Eyes 04 & Gloss Lips N EX-06


Hi Darlings!  Today I have two products from RMK, that I received from LookFantastic for review purposes.  They are from the company RMK, which has some of you may know are a Japanese brand, and it is their Ingenious W Powder Eyes in 04 (gray), and a Gloss Lips in N EX-06 (limited edition Gold).


The packages on these were a sleek silver box that has embossed lettering of "Take me.  Open Up.  Choose me."  I think this is totally eye catching as you walk down the aisle looking at the makeup.  If something told me to choose them I'll stop, look, and wonder why I should do so.



RUMIKO, who is a renowned Japanese Makeup Artist based in New York, created RMK back in 1997.  RMK is a chic high-end cosmetic brand that caters to a modern day woman.  It has become one of the leading cosmetic brands in Japan.


I was actually shocked to receive this Gloss Lips N EX-06, which is actually a limited edition gloss.  Mainly because it is out of my comfort zone.  Most of my lip glosses are basically either clear pinkish reddish sort of tone that are basically sort of sheer creamy.  So this was totally different for me.  


It has a brush type of applicator instead of the typical sponge applicator.  I actually found my tube to have a very sturdy brush that was a bit stiff.  It allowed for a more precise application when getting near the edges.

This lip gloss was actually difficult to take a picture of on my lips so I decided to show you a swatch of it on my arm instead.


This has a clear base with fine gold shimmer in it.  It contains an innovative formula which contains a moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid.  It will keep your lips moisturized during those hot days.

The N EX-06 Clear Gold Limited Edition Lip Gloss cost $28.59.


Okay the eyeshadow package is so cray!  Sorry for the fingerprints by the way, that's the only downfall with the packaging.  It leaves finger marks so you'll have to wipe it a lot.  But I still loved that it had a simple RMK print upon it, over a mirror-tallic base.  You could use it as a mirror!


You don't have to use the packaging as a mirror of course, since it does come with a mirror under the lid part.  The RMK Ingenious W Powder Eyes line is a duo palette, and they carry four other shades.  The one I received for review was the 04 Gray.  This palette was designed to layer two textures which will enhance the original colors.  These duo shadows have a rich pearlescent particles, so they are totally shimmer sorting.


Swatches were done over NYX Eyeshadow Base White.  04 Gray shades are a dark gray and a silver, botch with a metallic shimmer finish.  There were some fall outs but minimal.  They were easy to blend and went on smoothly and not patchy.


So I did a simple look with it by placing the silver shade all over the lid and the dark gray in my crease and bottom line.  My top liner is AVON's liquid liner, and bottom line was from Lord & Berry Kohl liner which also could be found on LookFantastic.  The mascara I used was Benefit's They're Real which also can be found on LookFantastic.

The RMK Ingenious W Powder Eyes 04 cost $42.51.
