Great Read, 15 April 2011

Bought this as a present for my stylish 70 year old mum and after dipping into the first couple of pages went straight to my laptop to buy a copy for myself.
Quite a substantial read with lots of inspiring advice and surprisingly current in its product recommendations.
Not just for the 40+ reader. Great as a reference book for the younger woman planning ahead. Highly recommended

Some great stuff but it made me a bit paranoid, 15 May 2011

I'm quite vain, highish maintenance and approaching a certain age so this was a must-buy for me. There are some great tips in it and some good recommendations (although it's hard to believe that EVERY moisturised in the land was tested) but you would go absolutely nuts if you followed these regimes. It's just too too much - how many primers, skin bighteners, supercreams and facial boosts can a girl use (or indeed afford - the Guerlain cream I thought might do me was £270 in John Lewis)? If I did as much buffing, massaging, patting and scrubbing as this book recommends I would never get to leave the house. However, as I said, it contains some good advice, the best being to rub your precious unguents vigorously and at some length into your skin as they do no good just sitting on the surface. That much I will do! Off for a fag and a glass of wine now. Jo and Sarah would HATE me.

Save money Buy with confidence and reassurance!, 25 Mar 2011

So much choice , so many products, so much to fix -where do I begin?
I always buy these books and then do end up buying lots of the products as I know they are judged by real people.
This is such a resourceful guide for women concerned with beauty routines as their face and body change or even when they just want some help. I defy anyone to read this book and say they have not learned something which will make them feel and look better.
The practical information is excellent and then if you do feel you need to try a product you are being helped by all the testers -you know they have tried it - For me it is like looking in lots of people's bathroom cabinets to see what they use and asking them what they think of the products. You do not need to agree with all the opinions but you know if it did not work it would not be in this brilliant book.
Thank you once again Jo and Sarah for taking the stress of choice away and saving me lots of financial errors. I can buy with confidence.
I have given this as a gift to so many of my friends(young and old -prevention is better than cure!) who are grateful for this invaluable information.
