RMS Beauty 5 Piece Signature Pop Collection Set

I wanted to wait awhile before writing this because I wanted to see how the system performed. I did have a my well company install it. It took him much of the day. I know, it seems pretty straight forward but after watching him, I’m glad I had them do it. I will say that this system is designed to be installed indoors hence the system being designed for Plex piping. You can not use this outside because it deteriorates in the sun. I didnt have a place inside for it. so he converted it over to regular PVC which was easy.Buying this system I fully understood what it was for and what it did and what it did not do. I understood this is a water conditioning filter not a water softener (like the traditional salt based water softener). As an earlier reviewer noted, it does bring the hardness of the water down a little bit. You can tell its softer but not a lot and it certainly doesn’t have the slimy feel of the traditional water softener. Our well is in mud hole basically. The water is full of orange iron laced sediment. This system handles it beautifully. While the desolved solids are not removed, the water is restructured in such a way that the build up of lime on the fauchets, toilets and toilet bowl have been slowed down and some cases removed. The water tastes good and the carbon filter of the system polishes the water. It is super clear and delicious. I read one one review that showed dark water in the toilet, The only thing I can think of is when it was installed the carbon filter was not flushed long enough before plumbing it to the house. It did take quite a long time for it to run clear during installation. Longer than the 15 minutes the instructions said. The flow is really good, much better then I expected. Even with the amount of sediment coming out of the well, the prefilter lasted a good couple months before the element needed changed. I did not have to change the post filter at that time.Even though we are on a well, I did not get or want the UV element that is an option. The reason is because I do not feel it is effective for very long. I was a marine aquarist for many years and tried using UV to clean up some tank problems. It worked for about a week until the UV Tube lost its UV output. The tube can appear perfectly fine. It can show that it’s lit, etc but it not killing anything. Thats just my experience.But for someone that needs water treatment and does not want the salt, sliminess and hassle of a traditional water softener, this system is perfect.

It was easy to install

The brand new range only lasted a couple years before this part broke. I ordered an OEM ignitor which also lasted a couple years. This part is half the price and does the job. I really don’t expect it to last longer than the OEM part but at half the price, I don’t really care. I’ve ordered a spare one so I can do an emergency repair if needed.

A really enjoying this palette. Have had my eye on it for quite a while. Couldn’t find it in my local stores that carry RMS products any more.I hate using brushes and fussing with too many steps. This little palette fills in so many functions- I can use it for my whole face. The Buriti bronzer is truly the stand out- gives lovely sunkissed look without looking too makeup-y. Blends easily with my fingers.The lip to cheek colors are very pretty and flattering. I favor the pink but the red also looks great and is pretty sheer. They can build if you want more color but blend out great to look subtle. They are not my favorite on my lips- I’m a lip oil person. I also use the bronzer all over my eye lids then a dab of the luminizer on the center of the lid. The little bar of clear gloss on the bottom doesn’t do much for my lips, I might try it to set my brows.I’m in my early 50s with stupidly sensitive combination skin. Zero problems with this make up bothering my skin and hasn’t clogged pores at all. I’ve been using it every day for the past few weeks. I prefer it over my Merit routine. It’s a small palette, so getting brushes in it might be tricky- but if you get some with your finger and place it on your face then use a brush to blend it works great, too.I will definitely be re purchasing.

The products are extremely emollient, so for my mature dry skin works well. Also not worried if it lasts all day, as this will fade. Size is small so will need to use fingers to apply. I put on with fingers and blend out on my skin with a brush. If you have oily skin though or don’t like the feel of balmy products would potentially avoid.
