Naughty Makeovers FOR Nice Girls: HOW TO TURN UP THE HEAT AND ADD SEX APPEAL TO EVERYDAY SITUATIONS [Paperback]

Dimitri James (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 22, 2012

“Every time a Nice Girl shows me a Facebook photo of the woman who got the guy, the new job or the promotion, it is invariably of a Naughty Girl who looks sexy and pulled together. The Naughty Girl has the know-how and self-confidence to turn heads and use her appeal to captivate and capture what and whom she wants.

I have always loved Nice Girls. I was tired of seeing them overlooked again and again both in the workplace and by men in social situations because they lack the instincts of their Naughty Girl sisters. And since I have devoted my career to showing women of every age and shape how to repackage themselves, I decided to do something about it!

NAUGHTY MAKEOVERS FOR NICE GIRLS is loaded with makeup and fashion advice to empower a Nice Girl to transform herself into a spicy but classy woman in every situation. So, go ahead and channel your inner naughty. Instead of fading into the background, become a star in your own life.”

Dimitri James, founder and CEO of Skinn Cosmetics

2.0 out of 5 stars Naughty, not so Nice July 16, 2012

By Lucy in Germania

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is not exactly what it claims to be. In fact, whether it is a book at all could be debated. A more accurate description of the genre would be "advertisement."

But first, the good news: It contains some helpful style hints (although nothing I hadn't read in other books). The cartoons are cute and the text is well-written.

Now the bad news: A good portion of the book is devoted to advice on how to use the author's own line of cosmetics, including large, full-color pictures of the products. In my opinion, Amazon should disclose this in the product description, since the buyer is essentially paying for an advertisement. In fact, I think that this item should be offered free of charge. At any rate, a more accurate title would be, "Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls USING MY COSMETIC PRODUCTS."
