Product was spoiled
I ordered this oil recently after reading reviews about its divine smell. It took FedEx less than a week to deliver it from SF to Taiwan (wow! I was super happy). Though, my excitement didn't last long and dropped immediately when I opened the bottle. It smelled like an old cooking/painting oil.. It is quiet hot here in Taiwan now, and the oil might have gone bad during the shipping process. I don't want to blame anyone and point fingers. Just be careful when you order such products, it might not arrive in its original condition. Mine went to trash, unfortunately.
SMELLS GREAT. LEAVE SKIN LOOKING SMOOTH AND FIRM
I just want to start this review with: MY BOYFRIEND LOVES THIS FACIAL OIL.
Yes, he who has only recently started to be more vigilant about skincare since I started nagging him about it. You know, "Just because you're a dude doesn't mean you can't take care of your skin too! You're going to look so old in the next year or two...."
So yeah. I started off with making him use the Mila Moursi Cleansing Milk (pricey for a cleanser to start him off with but he really love the scent in that line, clean and fresh) then sloooowwllly tricked him into using the rms Beauty Oil afterwards. Now he's hooked and will proactively reach for my bottle when he stays over. Win!!
I've had my bottle for a pretty long time and because there is no water in it, just pure buriti, jojoba, rose Hip and tamanu oil, it will last quite a long time. Pro tip: ONLY use the dropper to dispense product out. Try not to let your skin touch the dropper, as your natural skin cells and oil can cause the product to *turn* faster.
The scent is light, a bit herbally probably from the St. John's wort but I don't mind it at all. It leaves my skin feel hydrated, and overall just looking much much better. I sometimes get a few dry patches around my nose in the winter and I will usually dab a drop on those and it helps keep them at bay. I love facial oils and this one is for sure one that I will always have on hand (for me and him)!
Lovely
Using this oil makes my skin looks great even without foundation so I obviously love it. If you have very dry skin I'm not sure if this would provide enough moisture on its own, but it works well with my combination skin. So far it hasn't made me break out, which is unusual - almost everything does. Not crazy about the scent, but it dissipates quickly.
It's no secret I'm a huge fan of face oils, but there's something about the RMS Beauty Oil that I can't get enough of! I've been using it every morning since receiving it and it has honestly made my makeup go on so much smoother. I still use an even more hydrating oil at night, but for daytime my go-to is this. I have sensitive/combination skin and find that 4 drops is perfect for my entire face and neck. I can't wait to try the Coconut Cream next!
Luxury
Sinks right in to my skin and leaves it smooth and flake free. It's light enough that it doesn't interfere with makeup, and it works as a primer on good skin days. It's a small container, but should last a long time using about 3 drops a day. The scent is a very strong vanilla with a slightly bitter herbal edge. It's a bit too much at first, but it mellows to something truly lovely after a few minutes. Worth the splurge.
Lovely smell, not as hydrating as expected on its own.
I decided to try RMS for the first time after reading from Miranda Kerr's favourites plus raved reviews and after comparing the ingredient list with other facial oils. I have combination skin, worrying about first signs of ageing so I'm really looking for something that provides a deep long-term result instead of a wrinkle filler or any quick fixes. After my cleansing ritual (cleansing oil, cleansing foam, exfoliator and fango cleanse), I dabbed on rose water and waited for a minute before applying 3 drops of RMS Beauty Oil. The smell is incredible, unlike the generic 'good smells' you normally get from other skin care products. It is distinct, well-blended, yet subtle and calming. I massaged gently all over my face. My skin soaked it right in and was dewy but not greasy or sticky. For around 30' my skin felt renewed and hydrated. However after around an hour, I looked into the mirror and my skin looked dehydrating. I decided to top up with my normal moisturising cream and got this slightly burning sensation - the one you get in the winter when you leave your skin too dry it turns red. I'm not sure if it is because I did not put enough oil on, or because it is really dry over here in Melbourne. Whichever reasons, I don't think I can get away with it being my sole moisturiser. Rather, it will be a new addition to my skincare routine.
Wonderful oil!
This is such a luxurious oil. It has the best of the best ingredients and it is all natural!!! It just sinks right into your skin! The smell is kind of toooo vanilla..eey... But it won't I won't ever give up this product. I even bought a "spare" bottle. LOL! I miss it with my argan oil for moisturization for day and night.
One of the best!
This is a great facial oil. The smell is divine. It absorbs fairly quickly and the ingredient list reads like a Who's Who of the Creme de la Creme. I have combination skin and find that I do better to leave this off of my T Zone. It does not break me out and leaves my skin glowing.
Perfect for my sensitive skin!
My skin is very reactive and had no negative issues with this oil. It soaks it right up and gives the nicest glow. After a few weeks of using this, my skin is so soft and looks bright and healthy. I love that there are antioxidants in it as well, which helps during the summer when I tend to be out in the sun more to sop up all those free-radicals that form from UV rays. I layer it on under my moisturizer at night.
