This book caught my eye at the library so I picked it up, and it was a quick read (2 hours, and I am a slow reader!)

I enjoyed the quotes and pictures of iconic beauties the best. Think timeless actresses like Audry Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

"Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful." ~ Sophia Loren

I enjoyed the helpful tipsthat you can take care of yourself to make you look more beautiful, makeup tips, manicure/pedicure tips/diet and wellness tips.

I think all women want to be beautiful, but it takes time and effort to pull it off if you do not have natural beauty. Also, in today's society it is hard not to judge yourself constantly, and then you see the magazine covers, and even though you know they are photo shopped, it is in your face at all times that it what we should look like. Thankfully, as the old saying goes, "beauty is only skin deep."

Very funny. Not too much help with practical beauty, but a good read.
