Book Reviews of Beauty, The New Basics
Book Review: Outdated
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received my copy in the mail and skimmed through the entire book in about 4 hours. The make it at home stuff was neat but I thought just buying it already together was faster and cheaper. I got a little bored with it as I already knew just about everything she mentioned thanks to beauty magazines. As always no one mentions Mary Kay products. I tried to look up several websites and many were outdated and the sites were closed. I do plan on returning it and am angry at myself for not noticing the publishing date and that i have to pay shipping again. Don't waste your money! Beauty magazines are just as informational as well as having newer tips and there are so many new products out since this book was published. Since i can't change the stars I should probably make it 1 star.
Summary of Beauty, The New Basics
Overflowing with know-how, passion, and secrets revealed, BEAUTY by Rona Berg is the only beauty book you'll ever need. BEAUTY is filled with step-by-step how-tos, professional techniques, brand and product comparisons, and inside tips gleaned from a pro's pro who's covered the world of beauty for The New York Times Magazine, Elle magazine and other national publications.The book tackles all three major categories-The Face, Hair, The Body. The emphasis is on simplicity and a healthy, natural approach, and the range cuts across all ethnicities and ages. There are five-minute skin regimes, facials, makeup tricks and health tips. How to reduce stress in the bath and pamper yourself with an easy home spa. The long and short of hair care - including what to do on bad hair days. Remedies for beauty emergencies (eyes puffy from fatigue? do what the models do and use a dab of Preparation H). Plus makeovers, recipes, historical lore, stories, time-lines, and an extensive glossary and list of resources. It's a knock-out.
