I really liked that the book focused on all-natural products which were easy to find the ingredients for and make at home. After a while, it did start to get a little redundant, but I generally really like it!

In Passport to Beauty by Shalini Vadhera it takes you around the world to see different cultures and their beauty secrets. From Frances witch hazel facials to Australia's simple and clean makeup looks. This book is packed with beauty, hair, skin and dieting tips to help you achieve the global goddess look.

This book made me think about how much we take for granted. Around the world woman use little products and a very minimal makeup. They also look into their fridge or in their garden for the right ingredients. The text made me think about how I could use household items to achieve a stunning look.

I would definitely recommend this book! Anybody who loves to learn about culture and beauty, then this is the book for you. Fans of cooking books might enjoy this style of story. Over all this story is great for anybody wanting to learn about beauty.

This is a fabulous book for finding beauty secrets and recipes from all over the world. It's not like many of the other books you'll find on the market, where each recipe is very similar and there's a whole lot of banter. Instead, although you can see cross-cultural similarities between beauty routines, this book still goes above and beyond by supplying the reader with many cures in each chapter.

Very repetitive. Not very engaging. I really thought there would be some unique information but I didn't really learn anything.
