5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK EVER!!, August 30, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Glamour Gurlz: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide to Great Makeup and Gurl Smarts (Paperback)

- This book is AMAZING. Being a teen myself, I really

love this book. It helps you deal with problems of

self-esteem and gives you reassurance about yourself.

Whenever you are feeling a little down, you just have

to remember that you have to feel good inside, first,

to have your confidence shine through your outside. It

also has soooo many helpful hints that you couldn't

get elsewhere. Joanna knows what she is talking about and

gives a great flair of her "how-to-do"s instead of

just boring steps. The fantastic layouts and colors in

the book add a sassiness that is essential to make me

actually look at the book and pick it up in the first

place. I also love the fact that they use "normal"

girls, we can all get so caught up in the idea of

thinking we cant look like the "it" stars, but with

the help of this book you actually can. This book is

just fantastic, nothing can top GLAMOUR GURLZ.

I picked up this book for my niece at a local book store and paid quite a bit more for it than what Amazon is selling it for. The book itself is worth much more than even its list price. Loads of great photos and tons of inspirational and informational content. My niece hasn't put the book down, and I'm sure that I'll be buying her another copy come Christmas.

My daughter asked me to buy this book yesterday at B& Noble. I liked it...enough to send to my nieces (in middle school & high school). Finally, there's somebody else out there that validates what I've been saying all along--Stop with the racoon eyes and the 'hard' look. It's a good book...wish the author would follow up with something like this for the 45+ crowd. Just a suggestion.
