MICROBLADED BROWS, SANS MICROBLADING || MCo Beauty Tattoo Brow Microblading Ink Pen || #RivetReview

Microbladed brows are still a huge thing in the beauty industry. It offers those with sparse or no brows the natural look of hair strokes via a special tattooing method. Microblading is an expensive service and one I have yet to try, but it remains popular as ever.

Image descirption: MCo Beauty retail packaging for the Tattoo Brow Microblading Ink Pen. The packaging is pastel pink and white, containing a pen shaped product and a close up of the slanted, four pronged applicator printed on the package.

Microfine brow pencils and tattoo liner pens are also on the market, with many brands from high end to drugstore offering that thin hair stroke look for fuller brows, as opposed to completely filling them in and having them look blocky. In this post, I review one I picked up on a grocery shop!

Winged eyeliner stamps are probably not going to give us hooded folk any hope, anyway. || #RivetReview

The Vamp Stamp tool was designed by a fellow disabled makeup artist, Veronica Lorenz, after losing sensation in her hands following a spinal tumor. This tool made application of winged liner accessible, and surely enough, the copies flew in, and suddenly a new innovation was brought to town, The Quick Flick. Rather than being a stamping tool dipped into product, it was made as a self-inking eyeliner stamp. It gained popularity after appearing on Shark Tank Australia. 

Even more copies became available, including one by Model Co Cosmetics, which I managed to pick up at Woolworths on my last supermarket trip. Does it work when your eyelids are so hooded that winged liner doesn't even look right? Let's find out!

MAGNETIC LASHES || Do they really work? MY EXPERIENCE! || #RivetReview

False lashes are the finishing touch to a makeup look. Most people use strip lashes, but some like to use accents and individuals. They can also be a very huge pain to apply, not to mention the disdain that comes with being allergic to the adhesives.

Welcome the magnetic lash – no glue needed. These magic lashes have two parts, one that goes on top, and one that goes underneath, which sandwich your natural lashes between magnets on the strips, but do they work or are they just a waste of time and money?

DISAPPOINTING PRODUCTS || Makeup, Skincare, Haircare || #RivetReview

I get to try out a lot of products as a blogger, and while I don't like to be negative (without constructive feedback), I do like to be honest.

Here we have some products that just did not cut it; whether it be the formula, the colour, the fragrance, or just the general consensus of being poor performing. NO BRANDS ARE SAFE! LET THE HONESTY HOUR BEGIN!

#RivetEmpties Week - SKINCARE - January to April Empties!

Welcome back to #RivetEmpties week!

Day 1

Over a period of a few months, anything between 3 and 6, I collect all the products I use up in that period (or products that go rancid) and do a theme week to show what I have managed to use up! This week will only have four posts, as I'm not really purging anything, so we'll start off with our week's favourite, SKINCARE!
