I took a while to warm up to this powder but now that I have, I have to get this out there because I want you to have a chance to check it out or even get it, before it totally disappears. Damn these limited edition business! 😛 The reason I’m so anxious that you not miss this one is because I love it. Yes I do!

Apologies for the rather well-worn photo of the powder but that’s just how well used it’s been ever since I started using it. The RMK Kaleidoscope Nuance Color Powder was released with the Spring 2014 Play on Pink collection. It comes in 2 shades – 01 Translucent Beige Pink and 02 Translucent Coral Pink.

You can see images of both powders in their pristine glory in my previous post here but the one I’m enamoured with is this one 01 Translucent Beige Pink which RMK says is a finishing powder that highlights. To me however, this is just a great finishing/pressed powder that even serves double duty as a skin-evening powder that I wear on its own, which is why I like it so much! 😀

Goodness! I haven’t used a powder foundation in goodness knows how long! So when RMK introduced their UV Powder Foundation with SPF30 and asked me to take it for a whirl, I thought “Oh, ok. It’s been quite a while since I did powder foundation from any brand anyway!”

Like many if not all Japanese brands, the product is sold separately from its case. The reason, as we are always told, is that you can later buy refills after you’ve finished using the product, and refills cost less. In a way, through experience, it makes sense.

Back in the day when I would only use powder foundation, I would actually finish up powder foundation and then buy the refills and it always made sense. The Japanese brands also usually thoughtfully include a new sponge applicator with every new refill so you don’t have to worry about that.

The downside to this however, is that your initial purchase is always more costly because you pay for the case and the foundation refill separately.

Now, before I get stuck in, I know some of you have already sampled this thanks to RMK’s sampling offer for MWS readers early this month, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. You can still pick it up until the end of March 2014 so check out how to in this post.
