I was incorrect to assume that this would be more of a day in a life type book about what it is actually like to be a beauty editor, which interests me. However, if you are into beauty already, nothing in this book is surprising or groundbreaking. I found myself skimming through multiple chapters. The writer’s inner monologue also felt a little annoying and too self deprecating at times.

Stylish, intimate, funny, and utterly bingeable( couldn’t put it down) and full of practical easy to understand advice . Diary of a Beauty Editor deserves a permanent place on every bedside table. It has one on mine now! A dazzling debut from a writer with a truly distinctive voice.
Review of advance copy received from Author
This book is so well written and it is really refreshing to read something and digest the information rather than watching a clip of someone explaining a product or treatment!
