Beyonce-Knowles celebrity makeup tipsBeyonce Knowles may be a singing and acting sensation these days, but at heart she’s a Houston girl like myself who occasionally even takes the reins from her stylists to prepare for events!

L’Oreal Feria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Haircolor Review

LOreal Feria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Haircolor ReviewI’ll tell you a secret: I color my hair at home. It’s a beauty no-no, I know – but to pay 6x less and come out with color that’s more like what I wanted to begin with, I’ll take it.

It’s kind of misleading since the makeup junkie in me who loves intense eyes runs screaming away from brown mascara. (We’re all told when we’re young that brown is the only mascara color to wear that won’t make you look like a prostitute. Lies! Go black, ladies!)
