Every single woman needs to own a copy of The Beauty Cookbook. Young or old, wealthy or not, high-end cosmetics maven or naturalista, this book is for you.The Beauty Cookbook is the most comprehensive and practical beauty book I have ever come across. Chock full of recipes for everything (and I mean everything) you can imagine, Kym and Cindy offer women a fun and fabulous read as well as easy-to-make recipes to improve and beautify their hair, skin, nails, teeth, and body.
Have wrinkles but don't have hundreds of dollars to buy a fancy wrinkle cream? No problem. Kym and Cindy have several simple recipes that are time tested and guaranteed to produce results, without all the filler and junk in fancy creams. Dry skin? Got that covered, too. Want to create a romantic, relaxing, or stress-relieving bath? Check out the chapter on bath salts. Hair too processed, dry, damaged, oily, flat, frizzy, or dull? There's a solution here for you. Yellow teeth, yellow nails, yellow hair? The fix is in the book. The Beauty Cookbook even offers tips for a better night's sleep, improved memory, and fresher breath!
While one wonderful aspect of this book is the sheer volume of recipes it contains, women will be gratified to discover that the ingredients for these recipes can all be found right in the kitchen pantry. Seriously. A kitchen pantry stocked by Kroger. You don't have to find some local, exotic market or drop hundreds of dollars on hard-to-pronounce ingredients at Whole Foods. To make these recipes you need basic things like grapes, pineapples, oranges, cocoa powder, grapeseed oil, strawberries, honey, and baking soda. For mere dollars, you will look like a million bucks.
Please don't miss this book. It is THE book on beauty, and it has everything a woman could want: natural, affordable, easy, comprehensive, and effective recipes to enhance mind and body.
That said, it is chock full of incredibly easy (often oneor two-ingredient) recipes that nearly anyone can put into action immediately. It reads like a tabloid sidebar, so it's definitely not heavy or too in-depth.
Who this book is for: Anyone who's never made their own beauty products but is slightly curious. Also, any desire for in-depth information will lead to disappointment here. This book is for you if you just want a fun little compilation of elementary ideas to flip through every once in a while when you're in the mood.
It would have been so very helpful if the publishers would have made sure there was a comprehensive index (that listed by either need or ingredient) instead of just a total repeat of the table of contents for an index. I still don't understand that part. :)
All in all, this book makes a concentrated effort to be easy, silly, and on par with magazines like Cosmo or Glamour. And it succeeds.Thousands of dollars in beauty supplements isn't the way to health, but what you eat may be.
