Just when you think the multi-talented Beyonce Knowles has done it all she goes and outdoes herself again. This time she’s giving back to the community with beauty. Her latest venture is the Beyonce Cosmetology Center.
While doing research for her role as Etta James in the movie “Cadillac Records”, Beyonce was introduced to Phoenix House, a substance abuse treatment center. She was compelled to offer assistance after speaking with recovering addicts. She said the experience was incredible and that she will work more often with them and with 1st Step to help people on their drug addiction.
She and her mother, Tina Knowles, developed the idea of a cosmetology center. This program provides job training skills to support themselves in the real world. The Beyonce Cosmetology Center is providing an opportunity for men and women to get a second chance at life. Much respect to this beautiful cause.

Welcome back!
Today I’m featuring our first installment of “Ask the Expert”. Micki from Atlanta, GA asked what natural ingredients she could use as a mask for her oily skin.
Thanks for the question Micki. Masks are a great way to keep oily skin under control and looking its best. The Cream Cheese Lemon mask is great for oily skin. The lemon pulls excess oil from skin while the cream cheese keeps skin soft and supple without depositing any oil. I recommend using it once a week.
Fresh natural ingredients from your kitchen work just as well as any fancy formulas you can purchase. Be sure to do a patch test on a small area of skin before applying to your face in case of any potential allergic reactions.
Cream Cheese Lemon Mask
1/2 lemon (peeled and pureed)
3oz cream cheese (preferably organic)
Mix together until you have a creamy paste. Apply to clean skin for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Moisturize as normal.
Keep the questions coming by posting them here as a comment. When in doubt, “Ask the Expert”!

You should probably have your I-Phone handy the next time you go shopping at your local beauty supply store. This is so you can do your research as you shop. It is important to buy products that are manufactured in USA inspected facilities. Products made outside of the United States may or may not be produced with the same quality control as those produced in the United States. This is especially important when it comes to the cosmetics you purchase, including eyelash extension adhesive. Many products make their way to USA shelves deceptively marketed as American made. On this link you can check the best eyelashes extension on the entire USA.
Using a pencil, pen or makeup brush look into a mirror and place your tool from the inner corer of the eye to the outside edge which will let you measure your eye. Technically you should be able to fit the width of one of your eyes perfectly in between the two eyes. When you get overlap (i.e. there’s less than one eyeball width space apart) you tend to have close-set eyes so you want to create the illusion of drawing them apart with lashes that are longer at the outer corners. If the space is bigger than one eyeball width then you have wide-set eyes and want the emphasis to be towards the center and inner corner of the lashes to draw the eyes together.
Hold them in the packet under your nose with the lashes facing outwards; this will identify the left and right lashes as they’re not always marked. To remove always peel them from the outer edge, never from the inner corner. This is because if you bend one section of lashes on the outside it doesn’t matter as it’s more than likely you’ll be trimming them off to fit your eyes anyway. If you bend or break the lash from the inner corner, it matters! Gently tease it out using your fingers or tweezers and rest the lashes back in the box.
Rest the strip lash along your lash line to see whether you need to trim it to size. The strip should start where your natural bulk of eyelashes begin, if you start too close to the inner corner it will irritate your eyes. To mark where your strip lashes should end, go to the outer corner and count 2-4 lashes inwards. If you have them hanging over, it can pull the eyes down.

Rough dry skin?…Go to the kitchen and whip up a honey oatmeal mask. Acne prone?…Check out your medicine cabinet to make an aspirin mask. You’ll be amazed at the results you can get from homemade remedies. You’ll also pat yourself on the back for the extra cushion you kept in your wallet. The added bonus is that you will know exactly what ingredients are going on your skin. No mystery serums here. So now, maybe there will be room in the budget for those stillettos you’ve been drooling over. For more beauty budget ideas check out this video from Fox News.
