5.0 out of 5 stars Sophia Loren - Classic Elegance!, May 29, 2005

This review is from: Women & Beauty (Hardcover)

Although this book on women and beauty was written over 20 years ago I found it both relevant and refreshing. The author Sophia Loren gives her opinions gently but firmly and she makes reading about her life both entertaining and informative. Here are some of the chapters:

Some Thoughts on Beauty

The Pursuit of Beauty (in which she covers discipline, hair, skin, make-up, fashion and style, healthy diet, and exercise.)

The Mystery of Beauty (in which she covers charm, men and love, pregnancy and motherhood, tranquility, and coming to terms with age.

I certainly think any woman interested in beauty, especially women over 30 years of age would find much useful information in this book.

This review is from: Women and Beauty (Paperback)

Looking for some seriously useful beauty advice from a time before Botox?
I know it's hard to believe, especially as this book was published before I was born!
This is it... some fantastic skin advice as to makeup, moisturizers, even making your own exfoliators and masks!

I found Sophia's perspective to be warm, refreshing, charming and above all, practical. You will too!
