This beauty book is not very good. The advice is very dated and the writing is not engaging. Save your money and pass on this one.

I was very excited to hear about this great book that has all these fabulous home fixes to our everyday beauty problems as women. I became very disappointed when all the fixes I tried DID NOT work for me. I feel like it was a total waste of my money.
Perhaps I gave up too quickly, but I do not have any idea where I put my copy of this book since I found it useless. I got more good real working advice from this little cheap book I bought from a bargain bin called Natural Beauty or something. It really is too bad since I love all grandmother homemade beauty recipes and fixes, but Diane Irons just does not work for me.

Diane Irons' "911 Beauty Secrets" is filled with many beauty tips, model and celebrity secrets, diets, homemade remidies and masks, and much more. Many of the tips in here are easy to follow and require no other materials besides the ones easily found at home, at the grocery store, and at the beauty supply store. Plus, the book includes fashion and shopping tips, with advice on everything from what to put in your handbag to and the clothes that will work best for you. There are many quick emergency fixes in here, such as taking care of cuts, skin burns, cold sores, etc. Plus, you will get good tips on choosing the right types and colors of cosmetics, quick beauty fixes, and more. My favorite thing about this book were the beauty masks and treatments. For example, did you know that a corn meal and papaya treatment can make the dry skin on your elbows feel super soft? Or that soaking a skin burn in milk for fifteen minutes will soothe the burn? How about using some petroleum jelly to ease the sting from a paper cut? These are just some of the marvelous beauty treatments you will find in this book. This book is a very wise purchase. Trust me, after you've bought it, you will be refering to it all the time to look your best!

BANANAS IN YOUR BRA (AND OTHER STAR SECRETS)

Powdered milk will help exfoliate skin. Hemorrhoid ointment will help erase wrinkles. Ripe papaya and cornmeal will help soften rough elbows. Allow raw egg white to dry on your face and viola! instant face lift. Bananas packed in the bra will help firm those saggy breasts. (It has something to do with the high levels of potassium.) No, we're not making any of this up. Model/journalist/fashion and image consultant Diane Irons has gathered decades of tips and tricks, secrets and suggests in this hand softbound book, a sort of emergency guide to help all women (and men) look great at every age, size and budget. Strike when the Irons are hot!

The Book!

According to my opinion it's really a Book with a capital B. I'm from Europe, so it was quite difficult to find it out but it was worth the pains. I like it, I love it and it belongs to the best when I'm compairing it with other books written in this way and about these problems. And that's why I'm rating it with 5 stars.Excuse my English, it is not my mothertongue.
