I know there are already enough reviews for this book to persuade anyone to buy it, but I just couldn't keep quiet. I just recently bought it and have only tried a few of the products so far, but if those are anything to go by this book truly does live up to its name, it is a Bible.

I bought a highly recommended face wash and a toner (by a brand which I would probably never have even found out about without this book), and I can honestly say that my skin has never looked better!! The products didn't cost me the earth either. I had pretty much given up hope that there even were things out there that actually worked. But there are! You just have to know which ones they are and now this book will tell you! I can't wait to try out all the rest of the products.

If you never buy another book - do yourself a favour and buy this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant! So many products, such useful detail! 23 Feb 2006

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is great. As you know, the products are reviewed by real women, all the comments are genuine. It is nice to have a range of prices covered too. If you can't afford Creme de la Mer, they list a 'budget' version which will do the job just as well! All sorts of stuff is covered, from self-tan to waterproof mascara, you need never make a bad beauty purchase again. This book is a real investment!

4.0 out of 5 stars Handbag Beauty Bible 26 May 2009
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book, which I have just bought as a gift for a friend, but it is getting a little out of date now, it is a couple of years old and the beauty business moves on so quickly that we urgently need an revised edition! Definitely worth the money as there are so many recommendations here for all budgets.
