Allure: Confessions of a Beauty Editor Book

I picked up this book yesterday from the library and i am already done with it. it was like reading a big edition of allure magazine. i liked reading linda wells' stories and anecdotes, and i wish there were more of them in the book. i read the 10 commandments for each chapter, which is a nice summation of each section.
i am low-maintenance, so i didn't read about hair color, as i have only colored my hair 3 times, and that was in the last two years...and i use clairol natural instincts, which is demi-permanent (which means it washes out gradually)...the first time was two years ago i went a little redder/darker, and the other two times were this past winter and i used a color that matches my own. i only colored my hair because a lot of grays were showing and it was driving me nuts. this summer i have been outside a lot so my hair has lightened...i don't even notice the grays...i am sure once winter comes around i will be coloring again ;)
i also didn't read the section on waxing...i have never waxed anything, i have no need to wax anything, and honestly, i don't want to try waxing anything. sunday was family haircut day, and while i was in the stylist's chair, my husband asked me if i was going to get my upper lip waxed...he was totally kidding...but i had asked the stylist if they do eyebrows, and she said they do...with wax. i told her i am not ready for that. my husband was like you have no problem getting tattooed, but you won't wax...even the stylist laughed and asked if she could try it out on him first ;) i sneeze each time i tweeze out an eyebrow hair, which cracks me up, so i can only imagine what would happen if somene ripped out several hairs at once. i would like someone to shape my brows, but i would prefer tweezers and scissors please!
as far as the makeup/foundation chapter goes, i ONLY use bareescentuals i.d. bareminerals, so a lot of the tips and tricks about concealer and primer and all that other stuff just don't apply. i started using i.d. in 2002 and i threw out all of my other makeup and never looked back. my skin has never been better...it could look better, but i am just 'blessed' with oily skin, so i make the best of it and deal with the breakouts.
i am a total lip junkie...i love lip balms and glosses, and the occasional lip stick...and i will try any brand. i am a total lip slut in that respect. i enjoyed that section of the book.
i rarely do my nails, and my feet really need attention..but that is what happens when you have a baby...some things aren't as important as they used to be.
the rest of the book is full of good info, but i have read it all before. i am glad i didn't purchase this book as i wouldn't be referring back to it for anything.
