Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If "sleeping with the head facing magnetic north" sounds like helpful beauty advice to you, then this book is for you. One of the problems is this book tries to be everything. About 100 pages focus on beauty, 25 on hair and the rest of the book is about stuff that I would consider marginally related to beauty. If I wanted to learn about diets, exercise plans or meditating, I'd be buying whole books on those topics, not a beauty bible. Also, when authors start talking about colonic irrigation and bust enhancing creams, they start to lose a little credibility.
Another problem is the date of the book, 1996. How many of the products reviewed are still around 4 years later? How many have the same formulations? Due to the book being written/published in the UK, some products reviewed aren't readily available here, and conversely, some US products aren't available there and were excluded.
I give it 3 stars for the first 100 pages or so, which really do have nice pictures and illustrations, and very well-written instructions. I just wish the whole book had been like the first 100 pages. I also bought Stephanie Seymour's book and found that to be much more practical and meaty. If you like more of a scientific approach to things, you probably won't be thrilled with this book.
