I hope everybody had a wonderful end of year holiday season and are ready to rock in 2020! Since it's tradition to make new years resolutions, here are some that I'd love to see from beauty brands!

*SPONSORED* RIVET RANT: Minimum 3000 followers to make $$$?!?!

My follower count is small because I keep it honest.

I get rid of the bots and the MLM representatives on Instagram.

I do everything on my blog without deception.

My worth as an influencer is minimal because of this.

I don't have that sociopathic trait that decimates everybody in the way for advancement.

I am a terrible liar.

If it's not the truth, I cannot say it.

I won't do it just for the money.

I wanted to do it because I related to it.

I tried to do it because I could have a small double-digit amount of dollars to put away for financial emergencies.

I tried so damn hard to stay awake and ready to do this.

What am I talking about?

Kat Von D Metal Matte Palette Swatches + #RivetReview

Kat Von D Beauty speaks to every cruelty free beauty addict out there, particularly those of us who stray from the norm. Where alternative subculture meets the demands of the beauty market, KvD offers an unapologetic array of products for EVERYBODY.

I definitely stray from the norm.

The Metal Matte LIMITED EDITION Eyeshadow Palette covers neutrals, brights and bolds, in 13 matte and 9 metallic finishes. Aside from the cool packaging with optical illusion text, designed by KvD herself, there are 22 pans of highly pigmented goodness.

IT Cosmetics Bye-Bye Under Eye Illumination Concealer - #RivetReview

Foreword: Again, exams are getting the better of me, but as of the first week of November, posts shall be scheduled as normal; but I really owe my lovely readers a review, so be it!

IT Cosmetics Bye-Bye Under Eye Concealer already does two things, covers enough to not require a separate product to correct dark circles, and now, it does three things; COVERS, CORRECTS AND ILLUMINATES. It's like "8 hours sleep in a tube!"

Light + Medium

Having just been released in 2016, this concealer was featured in the goodie bags we received from the Sephora Exclusive Brands Showcase back in July.
