Review of Insider Beauty (Paperback)

I'm a big fan of Diane Irons, and Insider Beauty is one of her best.Not only is it full of brand new tips that really work, it's an inside look into how Fashionistas operate, how they think, and how we can gain that very same confidence and style.Diane has helped me to organize my "stuff", take care of my skin, rethink my wardrobe, fight aging, get the latest information on plastic surgery, and it's all done from a practical, consumer point of view that doesn't cost a lot or take a lot of time.I loved the chapter where the celebrities shared their beauty & diet secrets.This book gives a lot of bang for the buck.Highly recommended!

Review of Herbs for Natural Beauty (Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Remedies) (Paperback)

First off: I love this author's books-after buying this one, I purchased her herbal book for women. This is an awesome book for those like myself who prefer shopping at natural food stores and if you like the idea of making your own beauty products. Rosemary has a warm and friendly style in this well written, easy to read book. I really like how she has enriched the book with personal beauty stories and tips not just recipes. It is a fun little book making use of herbs quite a bit with a lot of great info and recipes packed inside. Would make a great intro book to making your own products but is also a good resource for those with experience. Oh, and there is a good section defining the needed ingredients like cocoa butter,rosewater etc-she tells you what is is/what it does/and availability of the item-very helpful. Thanks to her I know that Borax makes the skin cleaner & softer-it is a great ingredient mined from the earth-not a scary manufactured chemical like I thought! I am happy to have this book as part of my natural beauty library. (I also enjoy using Janice Cox's natural beauty books.)
