I DID AN AT-HOME LASH LIFT || Curled Lashes Eyelash Lifting & Eyebrow Lamination Kit || #RivetReview

A lash lift, or lash perming, can have some dramatic results, including making your eyes look bigger, your lashes look longer and fuller, and just overall make you look like you have lashes if they're dead straight. Eyebrow lamination, performed with the same products, can also save you grooming your brows by having them sit the way that you'd like without the use of brow gels.

These have become very popular beauty services that are available in salon, but can you achieve the same results with a kit available to anybody? Let's find out!

Ardell Pro Brow Defining Kit || ORIGINAL vs DARK SWATCHES || #RivetReview

I've recently gotten into brow powders, thinking they might offer a more subtle, and longer lasting brow, but finding the right colour is a pain! My eyebrows are black, cool toned black. Dark brown doesn't cut it, and eyeshadow or eyeliner is usually too strong.

Ardell are known for their lashes, but it was the expansion into the brow domain that got me intrigued to pick these up!

Dupe? Nudestix Eyebrow Stylus & Gel vs Australis Tag Team Brow Pencil & Gel - #RivetReview

I love finding product dupes. They're a great way to get a similarly performing formula or a colour match at a more wallet friendly price point. In today's post, the focus is on a product from Sephora, versus a product from Priceline. Which one will win?

Nudestix vs Australis

Nudestix and Australis are two brands I hold up in my highest echelon. Both are cruelty free and boast a wide array of high quality products in on-trend colours, but when I discovered that one of the new releases from the latter, a drugstore favourite in Australia, resembled a product extremely similar to the former, at less than half the price, I was intrigued to compare the two.
