The celebrities who made mendhi the hit of 1998-Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Gwen Stefani, Demi Moore-are now at the cutting edge of this year's style with the delicate, glittering beauty of bindi. Bindi Body Art Kit by Beth Margetts is the only kit available for young women who want to create their own versions of 1999's hottest look. The kit features instructions for over 30 different looks, 6 washable bindi paints, and 25 reusable stick-on jewels.

What a waste of money! There was nothing inside!,
By Sophia (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bindi Body Art (Paperback)
Thank goodess I got this for free! (lucky me I work in a bookstore) The package appears to be filled with "Over 30 body-jewel designs" when I opened it there were tiny dinky little plastic press on bindis. I mean I could buy those plastic press on earnings for little girls and they would look better on my forehead than these cheap things! The book was very colorful and told you how to apply and put on designs. But wait..where is the paintbrush to apply the [messy] kumkum powder? Where were the "30 body jewels" funny how there was only 15... The pictures on the box look inviting yes. But trust me, there is NOTHING inside but a tiny book (and yes I admit it was full of pictures but why do a half a$$ job of creating a book?) and some paint and a few stickers. And the cost is around $25 dollars? I was soooo glad I got this for free. What a rip off. I suggest you go to an indian store and purchase a real bindi kit for less than 5 bucks!

A Major Disappointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bindi Body Art (Paperback)
I purchased this book after observing the gorgous bindi pictures on the front of the box. The front the kit claims to "create over 30 body-jewel designs". Unfortunately, the kit includes none of the bindis to create ANY of the designs showing in the pictures on the box. It tells you how to produce the designs; its up to you to find the bindis to do it. There are ten little jewel and fabric bindis and 15 plastic adhesive bindis included. The book has some nice ideas...but what is the use if you can't create them with the kit? The kumkum includes six colors and no paintbrush or stencils to use for the kumkum. I was able to purchase a box of kumkum, that included 11 colors, at a local India Market for $4 far less to pay than the marked price of this book... It was a bitter disappointment.

Bindi Body Art Kit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bindi Body Art (Paperback)
I do not recomend this book to anyone. The Kumkum powder was not worth the cost of a picture book and some cheap bindis. I was very excited when I saw this box, and was not impressed with what was inside. It shows you how you can achive very nice designs, yet include VERY little to make these looks. A waste.
