Women and Beauty

by Sophia Loren

From an Amazon buyer "Although this book on women and beauty was written over 20 years ago I found it both relevant and refreshing. The author Sophia Loren gives her opinions gently but firmly and she makes reading about her life both entertaining and informative. Here are some of theSome Thoughts on BeautyThe Pursuit of Beauty (in which she covers discipline, hair, skin, make-up, fashion and style, healthy diet, and exercise.)The Mystery of Beauty (in which she covers charm, men and love, pregnancy and motherhood, tranquility, and coming to terms with age.I certainly think any woman interested in beauty, especially women over 30 years of age would find much useful information in this book."

I was really surprised to find a lot of good advice and substance in this book. I'm equally surprised I finished it and even enjoyed it, but what do you expect from someone so fabulous that she said "everything you see, I owe to spaghetti!"

Sophia Loren extends generosity of wisdom: her luscious experience of living in sensuous feminine beauty proves invaluable. No reason to disregard her advice. The fashion tips outdated? Hmmm, not particularly, modern women often look terrible dismissing longstanding fashion standards. I thank Ms.Loren!!!!

This was a pretty colorful Book. Some good some in my opinion outdated Tips but still entertaining.

[Caitlyn Koerner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this book a lot, especially the second half. Some dated beauty tips but the advice she gives at the end about charm, tranquility, and age is timeless.
