Cover makeup, skincare, haircare & emotion well-being (even has a small section on yoga). No application directions, just general tips. They do mention specific products & have reviews of those products. (Note: The authors live in the UK so some of the brands mentioned aren't available to US girls.) I really like the layout of this book, the colors, fonts, pictures, etc made me very excited to read it & the writing style really held my interest. Authors do lean toward natural products when available. One thing I've noticed it that twice in the book a sentence will be cut off in the middle & not continue anywhere else in the book. Publishing error?
This is the first beauty book I've read so far that has made me want to run out & buy my own copy.
