Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Globe-trotting celebrity makeup artist Vadhera's approach to world-wise beauty is simple: if something tastes good, why not put it on your face? Organized into fun jaunts in each continent, Vadhera kicks off her world tour with makeup tips borrowed from European sisters who "aren't afraid to use a colorful palette to make a statement." It's refreshing (if not exactly groundbreaking) that Vadhera uses a "less is more" philosophy, emphasizing the power of deep sleep over heavy foundations and concealers. Her tour of the East includes the assertion that sake is an "all-around miracle worker" for skin, and insists that readers add a cup of the rice wine to a hot bath for "whole-body detoxification." Even if few blushing brides will be brave enough to faithfully recreate the author's "Indian Bridal Glow Mask" that boasts chickpea flour, turmeric and almond oil, "Jacqueline's Okra Hydrating Mask" at least bears the promise of a few relaxing moments despite what the author concedes is a "slimy consistency." Continuing a world tour with brief stops in Australia, the Americas and Africa (to tout those notorious elixirs of beauty-butter and brewed peel of quince fruit), Vadhera proves herself a fun-loving guide to culinary cosmetics.

Love Everything About It

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book was really great,one thing I wish is that she could have been more detailed about some of the things, for example like mink oil and where to find it. I do love the fact that she tells the benefits of the remedies and the fact that her words are so enthusiasm so it's hard NOT to try the remedies out, at the end of the day, this book really taught me how much I didn't know about different countries and their little secrets. I will admit, when I got to USA section- I was a little disappointed because it was filled with weight loss tips and diets, and it some what strayed away from beauty remedies- which I really wanted to know since I live in the USA. Other than that, I love the book. It gets straight to the point and is great book for bonding time (doing the remedies together).

Global Beauty Tips That Really Do Work !

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

It didn't take me long to read this great book from cover to cover. This book clearly illustrates how women from all over the world care for themselves when all they have to work with are products they have at home. I have already tried some of the natural facial recipes illustrated in this book and every single one of these recipes really do work ! I receive compliments on a frequent basis and am proud to tell everyone how simple many beauty regimens can be...and all natural without chemicals.

It goes to show that caring for yourself does not have to cost a whole lot of money...simple and elegant.

This book has been so much fun. I brought it along to read on a family vacation (it's not much of a read so much as a huh, I never thought of that). My great aunt, my mom and myself all had a great time trying out the face masks from all the different countries. It was interesting to see what worked the best on the different type/ages of skin (so far peach). It is really a fun book with lots of try it at home goodness. I now have two friends and my brother's girlfriend in search for copies.

This book is so useful

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2011

This book is extremely helpful and useful. It makes me realize that edible, natural things are good inside and on top of your body! Everything connects with nature. Our beauty products can be right in our own refrigerator or native country. Also, many countries use the same thing like olive oil, egg yolk, and honey. Gives us a hint, right??

My daughter and I loved this book. We have tried many of the face masks and our favorite was the coconut oil and honey. I also tried putting garlic into my clear base coat nail polish and it worked incredible well. My nails were as hard as acrylic nails after only one use. After using coconut oil for the face mask I started reading other information on this super healthy oil and have incorporated into my cooking.
