HAPPY 100TH ANNIVERSARY L'OREAL

I had a pleasure to be a part of L'OREAL 100TH Anniversary this year. To be a affiliated with such a great celebration with one of the top beauty companies in the world. L'Oreal has some of the most talented and beautiful spokesmodels; R& B Singer BEYONCE, Actress KERRY WASHINGTON, Andie MacDowell, Elizabeth Banks, Milla Jovoich, Supermodel Linda Evangelista, and many more is still mind blowing.

Let me say this, dreams really do come true...remember just 4 years ago I was called a REFUGEE. All of this seems so surreal when I get to my hotel I cry after doing such big events or attending big events...ask MIS SASSY. At one time I didn't think my career would be where it is today. I still have some catching up to do but it's not foggy anymore. L'Oreal cosmetics is so big on helping women and doing women events. I look forward to doing more with them and can't wait to work with Collier Strong, L'Oreal Consulting Makeup Artist.

VIDEO: Beyonce & Solange Behind The Scene

As many of you all know I am on tour right now with L'Oreal cosmetics. I wanted to show you one of my goal's and that is to work behind the scene of a L'Oreal commerical. This is a great L'Oreal Feria hair video to show you guys what it's like putting together a 60 seconds commerical. It's a good look of what Beyonce is like as well when she's on set.

Inside The Glam Life Of A Makeup Artist

Checking Into REHAB

I gotta check into rehab...cuz baby MAKEUP is my disease!!!

I am doing summer cleaning today since I am home in New Orleans all week. I never got around to unpacking everything from my studio when I closed the doors at the end of Feb of this year. My husband in his BFF moved everything out the studio the day before Easter so basically my studio has been sitting in the family playroom. The kids are not to happy about it cuz they can't watch movies, play music, get on the internet or play those playstation and wii games. I been flirting with the idea every time I am home to clean in unpack but never have the time. Since this week they will be out of school I know they will want to be in this room for the summer.

So, as I clean today I keep finding makeup. Makeup stashed in bags, suitcases, bins, handbags, old makeup cases, victoria secret bag, target bags...seriously no joke. I am looking at almost $15,000 worth of makeup. Not including all my makeup that I retailed. I know I spent about $25,000 on getting that made and packaged. Now mind you, this total is NOT including my two makeup kit, my air brush kit and my duffle bag that I drag around with me everyday. This is just what I found while cleaning. I either forgot that I had it cuz I was hiding it from my husband, myself, or I just didn't have room.

What ever excuse I come up with I think I need some help, this is out of control. I can't believe in April I twisted my mouth to say to my husband I need to buy some makeup. One of my favorite makeup lines-NYX was having this crazy sale and I wanted to place an order.

Then makeup companies send me makeup to use on my celebrity clients or they sponsor makeup when I do events. I also have a suitcase full of individual and strip lashes.


When I first fell in love I never felt something so strong. Makeup was my lover and my best friend. All wrapped into one, with a ribbon on it! And I'll never give to myself to another, the way I gave it to you. Don't even recognize the ways you hit me, do you? It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back. And SEPHORA, MAC, L'OREAL, NYX, OCC, BEN NYE, SMASHBOX, MAKEUP FOREVER, your all the one to blame.
