Za mało przykładowych zdjęć. Sposób podzielenia dekat i tematów był fajnym pomysłem. Zdecydowanie nie przypadły mi do gustu teksty o kosmetykach, ponieważ były dla mnie zwyczajnie nudne.

Natrafiłam też na dziwne zdanie: „Feminizm per se uznany został za niemodny, choć nadal pewne grupy prowadziły różne rodzaje walki, jednak większość kobiet zajmowała się raczej zdobywaniem pieniędzy, a nie użalaniem się, że dzieje się im krzywda.”

Treściowo czuć niedosyt w pewnych kwestiach.

This was fun! I'd like to read what the author has to say of the most recent decades.

Not enough pictures of examples and a lot of typos. It was informational though, and the pictures it did include were beautiful. I loved the layout and all the different categories that were covered related to beauty.
