Book Review: Beauty Confidential

Beauty Confidential is written by a former beauty editor, Nadine Haobsh,  who now writes in the blog world. She wittily shares the best make up products and procedures in the business. Each chapter takes on a different topic from hair removal to the best skin care products.

I decided to try some of her advice and bought some of her recommended products with mixed results but overall found her book helpful, informative and fun to read.

What I loved! Bare Essentials starter kit foundation. Where have you been all my life? The DVD that showed the best way to apply the powder foundation was crucial to my success. 

What was okay: Nars Orgasm blush. I like it but is it worth $25? The experience of receiving it in the mail was wonderful, scented flower petals and lots of free samples. What’s not to love with that? I found this blush recommended by other beauty editors too so maybe it’s just me. Or maybe not. But with a name like Orgasm, really, who can resist? Not me apparently.
