4.0 out of 5 stars Lauren Conrad - Beauty October 16, 2012

By teaesse

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a great book for someone who is not that adept at makeup/hair etc, but is not really for someone who is more experimental and advanced with makeup. Lauren herself admits to playing it safe with her makeup. If you like Lauren's safe classy chic look (who doesn't) then you will like this book. I myself knew what the book would be like and expected the natural makeup tips and wavy hair and braids tutorials. This isn't breaking new ground or anything, but it's a fun read, with basic informative beauty tips.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good tips and tricks October 21, 2012

By Bozy

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book was significantly better than LC's last book "Style Guide." It's too bad she didn't put that one out now after she had done a little more growing. My personal look is constantly evolving and changing and LC's book is full of great tips and tricks for those still in a learning curve when it comes to this beauty business.

My only problem with "Beauty" and with her last book "Style Guide" is this; Lauren's so-called personal anecdotes. She constantly drops names (expensive brand names that is), or tries to say she can relate to not being able to find a nice outfit...right. When's the last time LC was struggling to find something "nice" at Sears, or Walmart? I just wish she'd stop with those..

2.0 out of 5 stars Um, was this written for a 13 year old? November 19, 2012

By Lauren T. Hauck

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love Lauren but I'm disappointed in this book. I was hoping for new techniques and tricks that you haven't seen on her blog. Instead I was left with very basic beauty info such as how to give yourself a manicure. Ugh not what I was hoping for. Don't waste your money and time unless you want to give this to someone who has never worn make up before.

There were certain parts of this book that were fairly interesting. I liked the section about which ingredients you should avoid when choosing a beauty product. But overall, I felt the book fell short in many different areas.

By Alexandra

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a great book for people who don't know much about hair and make-up. It also contains a part about fitness. I really liked reading this book. There's a lot of information in it. It's a great thing to keep it close so you can look through it once in a while.
