Product Description

This attractive box includes The Beauty Buyble book and dozens of amazing product samples you won't be able to wait to get your hands on! Indulge yourself--and find out what products work best for your hair, skin, and face!

Going to the cosmetic counter can be one of the most abusive experiences in a woman's daily routing. Where else do you pay for the privilege of being told, "You need a new look"? The salesperson, who has no clue about what's right for you, sells you $150 worth of makeup and skin care products you may not need or that may irritate your skin. How do you know which mascara truly lengthens, curls, or offers the blackest black? Which lipstick really does stay on all day without drying your lips?

The Beauty Buyble is a one-step reference to the year's best beauty buys and products. It takes out the guesswork, making it easier for you to find the best hair care, makeup, skin care, and beauty tools available on the market. This helpful, accessible book lists product in the low-, middle-, and high-end price range so you can find the item that's right for you and that will truly enhance your beauty. The clean, concise format helps you find just what you need -- and the authors offer advice from celebrity hair stylists, makeup artists, and real women to help you get the best out of your beauty purchases!

Includes tips and secrets from the top names in beauty!

Sally Hershberger, celebrity stylist and spokesperson for John Frieda
Oscar Blandi, celebrity stylist
Rebecca Restrepo, New York-based makeup artist
Mark Garrison, celebrity stylist
Katherine Hickland, owner and founder of Cat Cosmetics
Orlando Pita, celebrity stylist

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Marvelous, November 3, 2006
By Tantigirl (Boston, USA) - See all my reviews
This is so great. I'm hopeless with beauty products, I never know whats good and what isn't. This book will definitely help me with that. The products mentioned have all been tried by "real" women (and in some cases, men). They are categorized as far as price is concerned, High, Medium, Low (one brand in particular has their products at $1.00, and they rated very well), and in some cases Outrageous. There are tips on using/applying the various products from experts, and you will be surprised by some of the remedies. It comes with 50 samples, but I would not take the word "sample" lightly. Lip sticks, liners, balms etc are normal size, no mini's here. The creams, lotions, shampoos etc are in "sample" sachets, however, these are definitely not small. There is actually enough in them to give you a good idea as to whether those particular products will suit you. Lastly, and for me most importantly, it's written for everyone, no industry jargon or mumbo jumbo here. I actually understand every word in this package. This is for people of all ages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, not confident in its recommendations, February 11, 2007
By Lisa (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
The Beauty Buyble was beautifully packaged- the samples were a really nice touch and the box itself is really nice. I like the writing style, the concept, the "special guest" comments, etc.

The problem comes in with the product recommendations themselves. I have tried a number of them and can not share them as a success. Neither can the thousands of women who participate in makeupalley.com, a forum for makeup and skin care reviews. I randomly checked out 10 of the "top recommendations" and most of them came in as a rating of 3.5 or less on makeupalley. This would qualify as a mediocre product for the most part.

We are all looking for the best products around. Our skin and complexion needs are so different, it's difficult to find recommendations en-masse. The Beauty Buyble does no better - and definitely no worse- than the "best of beauty" segments in major magazines. Unforunately, I don't think it will improve my odds of making better product choices, as much as I had hoped so.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun stuff, good samples, great idea- book could be better..., November 11, 2006
I'm a beauty product junkie, and when my sister sent me this package for my birthday I was amazed! What a great idea- a book reviewing beauty products and a ton of samples of some of the products that are reviewed. The samples were from many different companies (some not US), but still readily accesible via the internet. My only complaint was that after flipping through the pages of the book I felt like there were a lot of products missing. It seems like there are a number of companies or brands that pop up consistently which smacks of corporate sponsorship to me. I'll still try some of their recommendations, but I hope next time they write one that it's more comprehensive and possibly less biased. I think one of the best features of the book is that the products are separated into price points high to low. This is especially good for those of us on a tight budget.
