Bobbi Brown [Beauty Rules]

I recieved this book as a gift from my Father, for Christmas.
Well truth be told, I was Christmas shopping with my Dad and we stopped at Coles, so I wandered to the Lifestyle Section and of course he found me with it in my hands. He asked if I wanted it, I wasn't going to lie, so he bought it. Then tells me that I can't have it until Christmas. 
The day I recieved the book, I rushed home, and read the entire thing.. Ha ha, yes I am that lame...

Of course, there were a lot of things in this book that I already knew but there was a also a lot that I didn't know. And this book will be a great reference if I ever forget something. This book's demographic is aimed at young teens to ladies in their twenties. Bobbi Brown focuses on enhancing natural beauty, skin care, style secrets and invaluable life lessons.

When I first started reading, after the forward, table of contents etc. It starts out looking like this book may have been aimed at readers much younger or less experienced with makeup than I already was. I stopped myself from feeling disappointed by telling myself that there was a lot of pages left, and I was sure that the entire book wouldn't focus on that age. I'm glad I kept on reading, because it would turn out that this book was like the Bible of Beauty. Moving on further she talks more about natural looks, and how to excentuate your natural beauty.

One of my favourite chapters is titled "Feeling Good In Your Skin", which has been something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember.. Somewhere between being the adorable-fair skinned-Glam at the ages 3,4,5,6 something happened around 7,8,9, I wish I knew what it was exactly-but my face turned into FRECKLE CITY ! It was embarassing, and I hated it. I still have some freckles now, but with my knowledge of makeup it is NO problem for me to cover them up.

In this section Bobbi Brown touches on a range of topics to do with skin. She lays out a realistic skin care routine which can be adapted by any skin type. There are tips for dealing with pimples, disguising pimples, tips for protecting your skin from the sun, tips on fake tanning, applying bronzer and more. This entire chapter is full of useful information, and I reference it about once a week.

Over all , I love this book. Beauty Rules isn't 100% about beauty on the outside, Bobbi speaks a lot about being who you are and being comfortable in your own skin. She talks a lot about dealing with what you already have and learning to stop wishing for what you don't have. She tells us that when she was younger she dreamed of being a super tall, super skinny, blonde with a flat chest--while she was the complete opposite. Though, she learned-like she is helping the rest of us to-love what we have, and find what works with what we have.

Thanks for reading, Beauties
