This book is my first purchase of an instructional make-up book. I am really enjoying it… I would recommend Pretty Powerful to any woman who wants her makeup routine and look to respect who she is, and learn general tips on looking beautiful and natural.

It is inspiring that she shows me makeup for "who I am", and the amount of time and effort I want to put into my look. I like that there is room for interpretation and I've genuinely enjoyed recreating the looks with my own makeup and budget. For that past few weeks, I look forward to washing my face on Saturday mornings, so I can experiment with different looks from the book. This book is all I need. Thanks BB!… (lisätietoja)

A cautionary tale that follows a cast of self-involved and drug addicted rock stars and rock enthusiast girls/models passing around the same Dicks and Vajeans and neglecting any sense of responsibility. As someone not terribly far from the author's age (she is about 7 years my senior) I grew up loving the same bands she loved, probably hanging up the same posters, but I only dreamed of being with Jani Lane, Sebastian Bach or Matthew Nelson. In middle school, I wrote what would be considered fanfiction today, about what it would be like to be someone like Bobbie Brown. Now that I know what that was like I am not as jealous anymore. It sounded like it once was a heartbreaking existence in which she surfed from rocker's beds to sofas with a child often in tow, only to end up (at one point) where I was in life (a witty administrative assistant. LOL) and happy for its normalcy. It just goes to show ya. I do admire the tenderness she showed towards her ex-husband at the end, and how she turned herself around for herself and ultimately for her daughter (who it appears previously took a back seat to the drugs and men drifting in and out of her life).

Overall, I am not sure what way the author meant to go with this book. At certain points the reader may think this book is supposed to be about her life of leaving a small sleepy town full of ambition, just to find a little fame and plummet down to the depths of which she had to crawl (and there is a bit of that here), but at most points it reads more like a titillating tell-all that highlights how many drugs she did and dicks she got to play with. In my opinion that is perfectly fine if you do it with the style and flare of Pamela Des Barres. That style was not present, unfortunately. Mostly this book felt disjointed. A lot of surfaces were left barely scratched, leaving this all about surfaces. Kudos to her for telling her story, though.

PS. WTF Dave Navarro? LOL

This is a beautiful book, oversized with lots of color illustrations. There is not a lot of content, however. The book has chapters on food, exercise, stress, skincare, and makeup application.

Beauty From the Inside Out by Bobbi Brown is an easy book to read - short clips of information with beautiful pictures interspersed. It contains Bobbi's advice on healthy foods, exercise, attitude, beauty and makeup. I especially liked the chapter which focused on women she found inspiring like Laila Ali and Maye Musk (a 68 year old model who exudes confidence). I recommend this book to those women who would like to become healthier and who might want to update their beauty routines.
