Helpful Beauty Books Can Make All The Difference

We all know the saying Beauty comes from within but mostly we all want to look our best on the outside too!

I was so excited to receive Bobbi Brown's Living Beauty and Charla Krupp's How Not To Look Old.

I am 43 years old and have always loved reading beauty books. While I don't spend a whole lot of time on myself and tend to be more whatever is comfortable girl, I love looking at tips and tricks of the pros.

Bobbi Brown's Living Beauty Book is full of beautiful color pictures and advice from celebrities such as Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Williams to name a few. There are also tips on a Make-Up Face lift, beauty treatments that make a difference, the perfect haircut and my personal favorite section, head to toe make-overs.

It is amazing what some simple techniques can do for your overall appearance. We all know that the way you feel about yourself shows in the way you carry yourself.

This is a great book for any age especially women over 35 who want to age gracefully. "It's not about looking younger, it's about looking as great as you can look for your age"



HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD is full of great advice, tips, and tricks for looking good, younger, hip while still being appropriate. The last part, appropriate is the key word here. A lot of women look good in their 40's. They look better than ever and can still wear young, hip clothes, makeup and accessories from the junior departments. But, just because you can fit in junior sizes, doesn't mean you should be wearing them.

Ask any teen with a mom in her 30's and 40's if they want to see their mom wearing their clothes and you will mostly get a big fat "no".

 Charla and her friends, the best hair pros, makeup artists, designers, dermatologists, cosmetic dentists and personal shoppers in the biz. Packed with eye-opening details on hair color, brows, lipstick, wrinkle-erasers, jeans, shapewear, jewelry, heels, and more, the book speaks to every woman: from low maintenance types who don't want to spend a fortune or tons of time on her looks to high maintenance women who believe in looking fabulous at any price.

Old Rule: Always match your purse to your shoes
New: Matchy-matchy makes you look oldie-oldie

  1. I love the fact that these women are saying things like:
    ~ it's about looking as great as you can look for your age
    ~ just because you can fit in junior sizes, doesn't mean you should be wearing them
    ~ full of great advice, tips, and tricks for looking good, younger, hip while still being appropriate
    I'm tired of other books telling those of us "of a certain age" (you KNOW we are the same age) that we can still look and act 25 - who the hell wants to do that???
