Favourite Budget Makeup Essentials - LOOK AMAZING AND SAVE!

Makeup can cost a pretty penny, but that doesn't say anything about the quality, does it? The budget and drugstore level brands are really stepping up to the hype with quality products for less! No, really!

Assortment of budget and drugstore products under $25 each..

Make yourself look amazing with my special favourite picks of makeup products where no single item is over $25AUD! Some of these are even dupes of your high end cult faves!

#RivetEmpties Week - PURGE DAY - 2017

#RivetEmpties Week

Day 5

Today, in an incredible finale to #RivetEmpties Week, we purge. All the old products that didn't get completely used because they turned rancid, or I didn't like the product and knew I would never use it again. This is the kind of stuff that won't even warrant finding a new home because it's that old, and questionable. I wouldn't give it to my worst enemy, it's just disgusting and needs to be thrown out. Chances are, I won't be repurchasing anything listed here.

WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD!

All items featured in this and previous #RivetEmpties posts will be disposed of thoughtfully.

Day 4

Some items in my makeup collection needed to go, like the mascaras I didn't completely use up, but have been opened for several months and smell like a rancid mix of waxes and plastic. Here are a bunch of things that were used up enough to warrant an “empty” tag.

#RivetReview Archive - Part Seven

Part seven of the #RivetReview archive brings you Designer Brands going into hair care, and Model Co's ingenious face wipes that took my [then] eyebrows with them.

Here we go.

Travel Essentials: Rivet's packed her bags and gone to Melbourne!

If you are reading this between 28^th September - 4^th October 2016, I am currently away in Melbourne. I don't get to travel often, so when it is time to pack items to take for a stay away from the precious collection of dozens of beauty products, I'm generally useless. Here are the products I have managed to bring with me on this 6 day “I need to get out of Sydney for a few days, but not too many, because I'll miss my dog too much” getaway.

Reason 1 for visiting Melbourne.

Reason 2 for visiting Melbourne.

Melbourne is home to some of my family and many friends, including Simon Proietto of The Skincare Obsessive, my BFF in blogging and life.
