Beauty Book Reviews

The book description from the back of the book: "Cosmo knows what qualities make a woman alluring: healthy, glowing skin; lush, shiny hair; smoldering eyes; and lusty lips ripe for kissing -- and that's just for starters. You'll find hundreds of easy beauty tips for looking uberseductive inside this essential, visually stunning how-to guide."

The book is almost like three books in one. The first portion is about educating yourself, the second is about what foods to feed your body, and the third is how to use natural antioxidant rich food to feed your skin.

This book has it all. Just about anything you'd ever want to know about skin care is in this book, from skin care basics to advice and instruction, all the way up to dermatological procedures. Everyone, even those who think they know everything to know about skin care, would value from reading Write a Prescription for Change.

An extension of her first book, The Green Beauty Guide, Green Beauty Recipes is an indispensable collection of not only recipes, but also instructions, explanations and helpful hints for creating your own collection of skin care, hair care and body care products. Julie gives everyone the confidence to get in the kitchen and create their own beauty! Perfect as a gift for just about any woman.

There are six parts to this book: Seasons, Sun Signs, Simple Solutions, Pregnancy, How to Give Yourself a Facial and Simple Solutions for Men. Each part is broken down further, making it easy to find the recipes meant for your skin type, skin concerns or astrological sign.

The book is broken up into two sections, one for basic makeup tips and techniques and the other for more advanced techniques and tips for breaking into the industry. Bobbi covers every nook and cranny of the art of makeup application, but on the level that even a makeup novice could follow and understand.

Just as with Carmindy's other book it's packed full of great tips and ideas that anyone can use. She even offers positive affirmations, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm all for positive thinking, but I am not the type to have to look into the mirror and verbally say it to myself.

A good read for quick snippets of fun beauty facts and advice. Want to know if pore strips really work? Or if inexpensive skin care brands work as well as high-end products? You'll find out, plus you'll get fact-based info on hair care, makeup, nails, and the lowdown on the beauty industry. This isn't an acne treatment how-to, or even a skin care guide. Rather, it's more a collection of beauty info arranged in Q&A format.

A great guidebook to help you create holistically healthy skin. Broken down into ten chapters (or "commandments," if you will) this book lays everything out into actionable steps that you can easily incorporate into your skin care routine.

A fun read with a huge amount of information to help keep your body looking and feeling healthy and beautiful. This book covers a vast range of topics, from skin and hair care, nutrition, exercise and stress management to creating happiness and contentment in your life (and much more).

This book is a must-have for those with acne, parents of teens and tweens, and anyone in the skin care industry. It's a complete and comprehensive guide to acne development, treatment, skin care, scarring, and the psychological impact acne has. Truly everything you need to know about acne!

This is a good, basic book for teens wanting to know quick fixes for beauty. The book is chock-full of wisdom & solid beauty advice, although some of the references to trends & celebrities seems a bit outdated 4 years after the book was published. Teens are more focused on Lindsay Lohan & Mischa Barton these days. They don't care about Jennifer Lopez or Sarah Jessica Parker.
