    Clean Makeup I Love: RMS Beauty

    by Deborah Bass Published: July 1, 2025

    I Finally Found Healthy Makeup That I Love.

    I’ve spent years trying to find makeup that wouldn’t mess with my health—or my conscience.

    I vet everything I use—makeup, skincare, even household products. I’ve used EWG’s Skin Deep database for years to research ingredients and spot red flags, and I love it.

    So when I found something that did work—clean, flattering, and genuinely good for my skin—I knew I had to share it.

About Me

About Me

Hey, there. I'm Deborah~

Writer. Miner of meaning. Beautiful things seeker. I write about whatever sparks inspiration or brings joy—things that make my solar plexus twirl—travel, art, urban expeditions, and the human experience, as well as tougher topics like dark history. I don’t flinch from the hard stuff. Mostly, I love to open hearts and ignite emotion.

For Those Who’ve Asked

Why I Write

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estés, author of Women Who Run With the Wolves
