Customer Reviews

Where Have You Been All My LIfe?

I'm 17 years old and rarely find beauty books that TALk to me. I love Mr. Roppatte's book and I tried almost everything (which worked, incidentally). I also loved hearing the little gossipy stuff about the stars he "does." This is a wonderful and original beauty book--now, when I travel, I'll know how to change my hair!!!!! What fun!

It's subtle and charming and mostof all-helpful.

I'm an Atlanta business woman who ended up in Washngton D.C.--and I thought I knew everything but I didn't. My whole look was wrong--I could FEEL it. I wore pastels and shorter skirts--perfect for SAtlanta but washington called for dark clothes and longer skirts--not to mention pin stripes. This was a wonderful book that really gives a reader an idea of regional dressing. I threw out all my headbands--and how did he know how many I had in my drawer?I recommend it thoroughly--and I plan to give it to my friend who is relocating to New York.

A most engaging book on how to achieve the "look".

This is a wonderful book with practical advice on how to get that polished look that most women covet. An added perk is getting the chance to peak into the world of celebrity--the author provides interesting tidbits of information about favorite celebrities with lovely pictures to match. This would be a wonderful gift.

Just delicious!

I bought this book for my mom and my daughter--I'm in the sandwich generatyion! It's funny and fabulous and informative and I've never quite seen a beauty book like it! It;s actually a style book--a strong, directional look at the way the stunning women get the big city look. I got it!

The most informative, glitzy, funny how-to beauty book!

Thjis book is not only chock filled with fabulous celebrity pictures, it speaks to ME. It's warm and engaging and tells me how to look sophisticated--a look that's always eluded me. I love the inside stories and Vincent's specific tips on products. It's a marvelous book--a great gift!
