Beyoncé played her second of four nights at New York's Roseland Ballroom on Tuesday night, presenting an ear-popping event that served as a cabaret act featuring a ferocious mix of old favorites and new tracks from her album 4.

Billed as an intimate night with the superstar, the show feautured B in a sparkly silver dress, backed by a full-on orchestra and several backup dancers. No costume changes, no elaborate set changes. The real star was B's never-miss-a-note voice and her razzle-dazzle dance moves.

During the first part of the night, Beyoncé gave fans some of the inside stories behind her biggest hits, ranging from her early beginnings with Destiny's Child to her breakout moments as a solo artist. Her swagger never faltered and was evident when she spouted lines like "On April 4, 2008, somebody put a ring on it," before launching into her hit "Single Ladies." Before that revealing moment, Beyoncé sang bits and pieces of her biggest hits like "Bootylicious," "Survivor," "Bills, Bills, Bills," and "Crazy in Love." No stone was left unturned.

The night, however, was really all about 4. She ran through the entire album, displaying her panache for old-school performing the likes of Tina Turner or Diana Ross. During ballads like "1+1," "I Care" and the show-closing "End of Time," Queen B's vocal abilities outshined it all.

It was her ability to throw a party during faster jams like "Party," "Countdown," "End of Time" and "Run the World (Girls)" that put on full display her range as a performer, dancing and singing live the entire night. Her fans sang along to every word and their energy for the material was only matched by Beyoncé's enthusiasm for live performance.

Fantastic Summer time Fragrance

So it's way to hot for you not to smell fresh this summer, so today I’ll be sharing my top  6 favorite perfumes for the Spring and Summer. I have tried all of these, and love them! Let me know if you’ve tried them, and if not, then I definitely recommend any of these

Juicy and youthful Oh Lola fragrance is designed to refresh the upcoming hot summer days, described as "lively, playful, irresistible, stylish and cheerful. "  It's blended from fresh and sweet fruity tones, together with floral accords of peony and velvety background of vanilla. The notes include wild strawberry, raspberry, pear, peony, sandalwood and vanilla

Peace, Love, & Juicy Couture -  It has a light floral scent, and isn’t overpowering. 

SJP NYC - Sarah Jessica Parker’s perfume smells amazing. Strong, but not overpowering. It's smell as very girly, and vibrant and economical ;-)

Reb'l Fleur  Rihanna's brand new fragrance is an intense and daring fruity chypre, composed of sophisticated floral notes: tuberose, violet and hibiscus, - with a splash of coconut water, - over the light and smooth base.

Japanese Cherry Blossom - Soft and flowery, also light. Perfect to wear during the day, and when your low on $ ;-)

Nina Ricci-  Any lady that wears this scent, expect stalkers! Enough said.

Escada Taj Sunset - This is the perfume to wear during the summer time. It smells just how I would imagine summer to smell. Soft, flirty, and a little fruity. 

The best fragrance you never had yet. . .

Italian design house Prada has prepared to launch a new fragrance in August 2011:  Prada Candy. The new sensual fragrance is based on three basic chords—musk, benzoin and caramel.

The elegant mix of musk opens the composition, which is quite an unusual role for the musk. The heart of the fragrance beats with balsamic sensual notes of benzoin, with a hint of vanilla, while the modern and sweet seductive chord of caramel lies in the base of the composition.

Stay Sweet,

xoxo
