This weekend was jam packed for me. On Saturday I went with my family to the tattoo convention in New Jersey.
Me and momma bear!
My family loves tattoos. My dad is almost covered in them. My mom has her fair share of them, and my sister, Sam, had like 5 by the time she was 20. My other sister, Erica can't seem to stop getting them. She is crazy. Love you, E! As for me I only have two, but I want more. I'm just thinking up my next one ;)
The convention was also right on a boardwalk so we got to enjoy some of the beauty.
Then on Sunday I went with my mom and Sam to a Zumba party in Chelsea Pier.
It was a fundraiser for HIV/AIDS. It was really fun because we took some Zumba friends along. Plus 90 minutes of Zumba is pretty much the best thing ever. I was exhausted by the end of the weekend though because I also took a Zumba class in the morning. I'm a little crazy too I guess ha ha.
Onto the favorites! July is coming to an end so I thought it would be cool to show you guys what I have been loving. I will talk about the products in the picture from left to right. Lets get started!
Face:
Givenchy Mister Light Concealer and YSL Touché Éclat Highlighting Pen- I have one word for these works of God. Yes! I have been using them like crazy because they highlight and conceal all the redness and darkness on my skin. They never look cakey and feel nice and light.
Givenchy Gold Primer- Like my sample jar? Ha ha. I took a sample of this because I wanted to see if it really does take away oil while still adding radiance. And girl, yes it does. This primer has flecks of gold in it, which is what gives it that ability.
Josie Maran Matchmaker Foundation- Yes, another sample jar. I don't know about you, but I break out sometimes when I try new foundations, so I took a sample. I love it so far. It gives awesome coverage while feeling light. One of my coworkers actually came into work when I was wearing it and was like, "Oh my god! Your skin looks amazing." So yeah I will most likely be buying this.
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso- Go to my CVS Haul post to read my proclamation of love for this amazing-ness.
Eyes:
Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant Mascara- In a previous post I said that I did not like the wand of the mascara and still preferred my Urban Decay one. Well I retract that statement. I still love my urban, but this mascara is the shit amazing (gotta keep it P-G) ha ha. My lashes look fake and perfectly fanned out. They actually show through my eyeliner. BOOM!
Kay Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper- This little guy has popped up on the blog before, but if you follow me on Instagram then you know I have feeling the cat eye a lot this month.
Stila purple liner- Thanks to my previous post we all know that purple liner is a way to make brown eyes pop. I also find that when I am in a rush adding some color makes it look like a tried super hard ha ha.
Maybeline Great Lash Clear- This was featured in my eyebrow post and has been a real life saver for my brows and keeping the pencil from fading away.
Skincare:
Fresh Lotus Eye Gel- My eyes have been brighter over the last couple of days :) I'm excited.
Fresh Umbrian Clay Oil Free Lotion- It leaves my skin feeling moisturized without being weighed down.
Korres Wild Rose Cleanser- It has lite exfoliating beads that do wonders on the oil that builds up during the day. Wild rose is also packed with vitamin C and my face looks so much more glowing and bright lately.
Lips:
Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm in Rendezvous- My go to coral with staying power!
Revlon Lip gloss in Bellini, Revlon Lipstick Pink in the Afternoon, and L'Oreal Lipstick Unending Nude- The best nudes and pinks ever! Again, go to the CVS post to read my reviews on them :)
Random:
Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus- It is delicious with baby carrots and sliced peppers.
Goji Berries- Super food. Super nutritional. Taste like candy. Pretty much a win all the round :) I love putting them on my oatmeal or on some yogurt. Yummers!
Nails:
Essie Nail Polish in Mint Candy Apple
Tart Deco
and Go Ginza.

Pastel nails are very 'in' for the summer time since they look so stunning on tan skin. So long, bright neon nails! I have been wearing them all month long :) These are my favorite colors.
Tattoos. Love them or hate them?
Zumba. Love it or hate it? Oh wait. That's a silly question ;)
Well that is pretty much it for this post. Let me know in the comments if you try or have tried any of these things! Love y'all.
'Till next time...
Nicole xo.

Yoooooo, your random section had me rolling!!! I thought about getting a tattoo before, but I'm not good with needles. Call me a punk, idgaf. I use to fight the doctors when they had to give me shots. My dad would literally have to help them put me in a hold. I'm not like that anymore (LOL). So clearly, you have changed your diet... how much do you exercise?
On another note... It was cool dancing with you on Saturday :)

lol Tattoos feel nothing like shots. Its kind of a dull pain that you get used to. And yeah I don't eat fast food or sugary foods. Only on special occasions (e.g. my birthday) I will have cake or a treat. I try to keep it as natural as possible. And I exercise 6 times a week. If work gets in the way, no big deal, as long as your consistent. :) thats all that counts
