Down to earth beauty advice for today's busy women!:
I just received this book and I am flying through it! It's very informative, and entertaining as well! The first thing I did was run out to Target and purchased some L'Oreal Elnett hairspray. I am glad it is now available in the US. The advice is fantastic. I love the hairspray! I am also a HUGE fan of Bare Escentuals. I can't wait to finish the book, and I look forward to future books! I will continue to read the book, use it as a reference, and try the recommended products to look the best that I can.
Super fun to read!!:
This is by far the most fun beauty book I've ever read. It gives you great beauty advice. It's written very well that it keeps you wanting to read and read! It's hard for me to finish reading books but this one was easy, entertaining and I actually finished reading it, something I don't do with most books. It has some funny remarks that made me laugh as well, which made reading it that much easier. If you're a beauty addict this book is a must read, the advice is so helpful!

wonderful comprehensive of everything regarding beauty:
I purchased this book because I was planning on doing my own wedding make-up, and though I thought I was well-versed an make-up application, etc., it turns out I didn't even know what I didn't know! Beauty confidential is chock-full of useful and time-saving tips, as well as information on what you should splurge on and what you can buy on the cheap. It is also entertaining and adorable. Nadine, herself, is also very willing to answer any personal beauty questions that you may have.
