TESTING OUT PRODUCTS FROM BRANDS I WON'T BUY || Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit || #RivetReview

Vogue Australia released their September 2018 issue featuring Kylie Jenner on the cover and a free Lip Kit worth $39. If you have been keeping up to date with the beauty community via The Makeup Social group on Facebook, you'll know the hype. People are buying swarms of magazines just for the freebie!

Here is me, doing my grocery shopping, and I spot the latest issue and I'm contemplating, even though I really don't care much for Kardashian/Jenner troupe.  $13 for a magazine is steep, but, FOR SCIENCE (and a beauty section to snoop in)!

TESTING OUT MAKEUP FROM BRANDS I WOULD NEVER BUY! (Or Repurchase)

I only deal with cruelty free brands, so I omit a lot of brands on the basis of animal testing (such as for sales in China), but there are also brands that are cruelty free that have had enough drama to put me off ever buying/repurchasing or endorsing the products on my blog. I had been following the Oh Dear Doe Deere Tumblr (and forums) for a few years, and the amount of brands that come up as dodgy definitely put things into perspective.

I'm open.

I have purchased from some brands that have recently been under fire for dodgy practices, but I won't mention them because of their previously clean track record, but I have recently been gifted some products from questionable brands that I would never have otherwise purchased or accepted as PR samples. I'm here to set the story straight and test out these products behind the controversy for quality and hype factor.
