This review is from: Beauty Lab (Faithgirlz!) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my nine-year-old daughter, because she enjoyed Rue's other title on Self-Esteem. She enjoyed the magazine style cover, and she devoured the content and fun quizzes inside. Highly recommended.Everybody Tells Me to Be Myself but I Don't Know Who I Am: Building Your Self-Esteem (Faithgirlz!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool, May 18, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Beauty Lab (Faithgirlz!) (Paperback)

This book is great. Because all tween girls, being one myself, love thing like beauty tips, fashion advice, & remembering that God directs us, this book is the way to go. With a clear focus on God's guiding us through adolescence, I thought it was a great book about skin, hair, nails, etc. If you want more a book about puberty: check out The Body Book or Body Talk by the same author. P.S. I personally am in favor of The Body Book.

This review is from: Beauty Lab (Faithgirlz!) (Paperback)

I bought this volume along with the other three in this series for Christmas gifts--4 for 3 promotion. I received them a couple of days prior to Christmas and didn't have time to shop for replacement gifts.

I have been a fan of Nancy Rue books for teen girls so thought these would make nice gifts for my neices. This is the only reason I purchased these specific titles.

The covers were inviting, but the paper inside the covers was CHEAP and uninviting. For a retail price of $7.99 each for 139 pages, I expected much higher quality paper. Shame on the publisher!

I did not read these volumes, so I can't comment on the content. I would NOT have purchased any of the books in this set had I seen them first at a bookstore. These books do not invite a reader in. The paper quality makes them look like very "cheap" gifts--think dollar store books.

I give this book two stars only because Nancy Rue is the author.
