what is this, is it 100% silica powder?  I like Bye Bye Pores and really, it lasts forever for me, but I wouldn't mind one of these RCMA as a refill.  But not if it isn't exactly the same stuff.  I don't want to spend even $10 on something I don't like.

I love a loose finishing powder.  As previously mentioned I too am a fan of Laura Mercier in this category.  Her translucents are undetectible even on women of color.

I think you should just stick with your expensive prestige brands.

 

There's no directions on the packaging for the RCMA products as it's a professional line.

The ingredients are silica, calcium oxide, talc and magnesium oxide.  It is a professional product so it's no frills but it is very nice.  No color or pigments so it does not oxidize and it really inexpensive.  It is not 100% silica.  If  that is what you are looking for I think Elf has one for a couple of dollars.

I use the RCMA: $10.00 for 3 ozs! Buy it from Beautylish or their own website. I just looked it up and some folks are marking it waaay up on ebay Woman Frustrated

 

 

no frills packaging.

 

Tarte has one  that I received a sample of and it's just as good only it costs $33.00 for .32 oz!!! That's a really huge difference!!

 


Ditto!! I just recently was able to get my hands on this and It. Is. The. Bomb. It's soooo inexpensive, too, especially for an amazing quality product!

I have this one and like it but honestly prefer the Laura Mercier translucent.  They last for so long that I don't mind a splurge once in a while.


For me, to RCMA sets my MU and keeps it there for longer than the LM. I bought the LM based upon rave reviews everywhere, but the RCMA works better for me.

 I'm so glad you tried it in liked it! Isn't it mind blowing the prices of the other products in comparison?!

It is!! I mean, I LIKE the LM, but this performs much better on my skin and is much les in price per oz. It's a winner!

I  still use MV from BE.  It seems like I will never run out because I have many that were part of TVS through the years.
