Known to national audiences from her ten years on NBC's Today show, style expert Charla Krupp dishes out her secrets in this "ultimate" to-do list for looking hip and fabulous -- no matter what your age. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Really useful!A friend highly recommended this book, saying that the tips on what leg shaver to buy had changed her life. Since this person is not vain or frivolous, I thought, "hmmm, maybe there is something to it" and got it. Wow! Everything is useful and practical. And there's money saving tips- Ms. Krupp's recommendations include specific products in different price ranges. You know, Revlon has a great mascara that is 1/2 the price of my old Lancome. I would never have thought to try it without ... Read More Rating:  - Nothing really newThere is nothing really new in this book. There are some good practical suggestions but I would not call it a "beauty bible". Rating:  - DisappointingAs a "woman of a certain age," I was eager for tips on how to look my best. Sadly, they weren't in the pages of this book. The author takes a one-size-fits-all approach to her anti-aging solutions: everyone should wear pink lipstick...everyone should wear her skirts to mid-knee. There's no regard for a woman's individual coloring, body type, or lifestyle, so many of her suggestions are unrealistic or downright absurd. While some of her advice is sound, it's no-brainer information that I've read dozens ... Read More Rating: - Loved the book!I've always been an advocate of being the best you can be (at any age.) This does not mean that we will all be drop dead gorgeous or need to become high maintenace. Just strive to do your best . . . what you can afford to do timewise and moneywise, rather than just giving up and doing nothing. Take the advice you like from the book, and forget the rest. It's as simple as that! That being said (since I live on a modest budget) I can't/won't implement the more expensive suggestions, but ... Read More Rating: - OLD IS A STATE OF MINDI loved this book because I am a baby boomer, and we refuse to get old! We have made ourselves the exception to every rule over the years, and refusing to be like our mothers is one of them. The tips and tricks in this book were great, although I think most of it could be done on a budget and still work great. I didn't agree with everything she said, but for the most part I found the work fun and helpful. On the other hand, I think a diet and exercise program is very important for anyone who wants to remain ... Read More |
