Bobbi Brown Beauty Rules Book

I gotta tell ya, I’m a lit geek prior to being a makeup lover so when makeup and a good book are combined, I’m over the moon.

Bobbi Brown Beauty Rules Book should be popping up at your local counters and bookstores shortly. It’s Bobbi’s sixth book release and focuses on, not the mature woman, but younger women.

Bobbi shares her best tips and tricks for fresh, healthy skin, hair, makeup and nails. As always Bobbi’s main goal is the help women look like themselves with minimal makeup tips to create a more confident, prettier you!

Bobbi Brown Beauty Rules was created to help young women learn the beauty basics and proceed to enable them to get creative and experiment with their looks, in the end, ultimately finding their own sense of style.

I have Bobbi’s Makeup Manual and it’s one of the most user friendly makeup reads I’ve had the pleasure of owning. It breaks things down so simply and gives incredible tips for keeping things fresh and beautiful.

I think Beauty Rules is something every younger woman should indulge in particularly if you’re just starting out in makeup.

It’s available now from Nordstrom for $24.95.

I’m going to purchase one for my cousin who’s 15 and just now starting to get into cosmetics.

Honestly, cosmetics aside, everyday products are potentially hazardous to our health as well. Items we depend on daily such as shampoo and deodorant. When I’m slicking deo on, I’m seriously not consciously thinking about how it might increase my risk of cancer, I’m just assuming is safe as can be.

The Story of Cosmetics is a short film by Free Range Studios, in partnership with the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.
