Beauty Baby!


My girlfriend lent me this book 'Confessions of a Beauty Addict' noting that it would be perfect for me being that I am a writer, love beauty, and was interning at a fashion magazine. Well little did she know that she had started to create a monster.

Of course I love beauty, and have been avidly reading beauty in magazines since I was too little to understand the advice. Wrinkle cream at 11 years old? But when I started reading this book I was hooked, I want to write more about beauty and have more beauty around me at all times. Indulge, indulge, indulge! So I started doing some
more beauty-slanted pieces for my freelance writing gig and now I want to write more here too.

So I loved Nadine Haobsh's writing style and take. She is the infamous beauty blogger who was writing anonymously
telling all the juicy behind-the-scenes stories of a magazine beauty editor in NYC and was revealed by the New York Post.

So I quickly ordered a copy of her other book 'Beauty Confidential: The no preaching, no lies, advice-you'll-actually-use guide to looking your best' online at my local library. What I didn't expect is for me to devour the book in two days and post-it note flag it so much that I deemed it hopeless and will now be buying the book as a resource guide.

There are so many great suggestions of what products to buy and how to use them, I have made it my personal mission to try and test them all and then compare to other beauty products so that I too may enjoy in all the fun. So join in and order from your local library or pick up a copy so you can see what advice a former beauty editor has really got to give.

  2. Ahhh the commodification of beauty. Hey Lisa you could become the native beauty blogger? Or you just going to open it up and blog about beauty for all complexions. I wouldn't blame you - your readers are probably all colours.
