My HGTV #BloggerBlockParty Experience

My HGTV #BloggerBlockParty Experience

It was definitely an interesting and fun experience!

Track-by-Track Album Review: Melanie Martinez’s ‘Cry Baby’

Track-by-Track Album Review: Melanie Martinez's 'Cry Baby'

Melanie Martinez was one of my favorites on The Voice. Her unique voice and her split colored hair really pulled me in. I was with her for her first Dollhouse EP and I’m with her for her new album, “Cry Baby.” This was definitely one of the most unique albums I’ve listened to. Her theme was very creepy toys and sinister messed up children based on what I’ve gathered and…well…it’s what is sounds like.

Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers and so I have decided to do some simple Kate Spade inspired nails and share some of my Kate Spade Wishlist!…

Essence Silky Touch Blush & Lip Liner Review + Swatches // EW&PT

Disclaimer: These products were sent to me for free, but all of my opinions are my own, as always! 

I was lucky enough to be able to receive a few products from essence cosmetics, one of my favorite cosmetic brands, to review and I’m super excited. I’ve used a few of their products in the past and have been very impressed with their high quality for the low price.

I was going to do a super long post with all of the products (like I did with my elf Cosmetics Haul), but decided that bite sized bits of reviews and swatches might be better. So, here is my essence cosmetics review and swatches of  Silky Touch Blushes and  Lip Liners.
