Im not even FINISHED with this book and yet Im imploring you to buy this. Im only on like chapter 3 and Im already saving money. Example: my 20 year old Mason Pearson hairbrush seriously needs to be replaced but theyre so expensive. Guess what? I dont NEED a new Mason Pearson hairbrush! She makes plenty of much more affordable suggestions. She DIAGRAMS HAIRCUTS to take to your stylist.This is not the same old schlock weve all read a million times before; this is shopping guide; an in-depth tutorial; its everything a woman needs to know to look her best.I NEVER review books. EVER. But the complete lack of reviews on this invaluable book amaze me. If you care at all how you look you really need to buy this book. This is the best tool in my beauty arsenal.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Must-Have for Those Looking to Upgrade Their Look!By moobearI love this book!For the most part; I know the basics of how to look presentable each day. But did I know how to look expensive; classy; or remotely sophisticated? No - I didnt! If I ever did; it was a beautiful accident.Then I found this book! Its a walk-through covering all the details: skin; makeup; hair; nails; fashion. Everything!I love how the author also breaks certain parts down by style choice (like Classic vs Bohemian vs Hollywood looks. There are a lot of different ways you can go when you upgrade your look!)I absolutely recommend this book to the clueless; confounded; and simply curious. It has tips you can immediately use; product suggestions based on any budget; and will increase your confidence in your ability to enhance your look!I bought this book in 2013; and I still reference it! Great investment!5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Best Investment For My AppearanceBy Krista L.What a fantastic book for anyone looking to class up. This isnt about how to be snobby by spending hundreds of dollars; its more about looking timeless WITHOUT having to spend a lot. She gives you products she recommends (she gives the high-end name and then drugstore alternatives). At 20 years old; Im ecstatic I bought this book. It defiantly isnt for any specific age group (I feel like women from 16-90 years old could really learn from this and tremendously benefit from what this book has to offer). There are plenty of celebrity examples; make-up tips and a few of the authors advice (who was beauty editor for a while). Any gal looking to have a timeless; clean; expensive-looking (without spending a fortune) and chic appearance this is the book for you.*I felt like the clothing tips were just mediocre..but that was a small section of this book. I felt like this was more of an appearance/beauty book (sections ranging from make-up to hair to waxing/shaving/hair removal creams to nailpolish; etc). But her tips/her book in general is WAY better than Lauren Conrads beauty books that everyone has been obsessed about.
