The French Beauty Solution: Time-Tested Secrets to Look and Feel Beautiful Inside and Out

I simply love the book. It's a good read, a good reference book and I find myself going back over the different chapters to check things out brilliant and what's more the advice actually works.

Loved this book. Well written and really interesting. Love natural beauty products so this is terrific.

Some great tips

Received on due date, excellent condition and packaging. Anyone interested in the French female, lifestyle, food, being slim ....... and more. Fantastic read and recommend.

What a good read and very informative if you love the Caudalie brand.

I received this book today and am immediately returning it, unfortunately, it just didn't appeal to me. It reads a little like a (very expensive) advert for Caudalie; I hadn't realised on ordering that it was authored by the woman who owns the French beauty company.It is also obviously written for an American audience and goes on and on about how the author and French women in general, are so impressed by American women. I'm not sure whether or not this is genuinely the case but it felt like, to me, a bit like reading about a club from which I was excluded.I also felt the content was quite light and similar to advice found in women's magazines.In conclusion, I much preferred the book, Forever Chic by Tish Jett.

Good book

I received this as a Christmas present from my half French mother and while it’s not my usual thing, I have to say it’s actually rather good (I devoured it within 24 hours.)It’s full of basic, sensible and scientific approaches to beauty ranging from your diet to makeup and hair styles and I adore the simplistic and natural nature.Everything is broken down into sections so if one doesn’t appeal to you, then you can simply skip or return with ease. The author isn’t condescending at all and makes you feel that with a few tweaks this could all be quite achievable and while it’s written by the founder of a large and expensive company, she does discuss the merits of cheaper alternatives found in drug stores.The only downsides are as follows:As she has business mainly in France and America, any comparison she makes is largely between the two and often not particularly relevant for those in say, the uk. For example she discusses ingredients in every day beauty products that you can’t even have in the uk as they are illegal, thus making the point slightly irrelevant.The other minor irritation is that it often reads like a long winded advertisement for her company referring to her spas and products with a “must have” attitude. I do appreciate she wants to plug it but considering someone’s bought the book already on the basis she knows what’s she’s talking about from owning caudelie, it’s a bit of overkill and occasionally rather frustrating.Finally, she says she doesn’t do diets (hurrah!) but does a three day cleanse. C’mon...that’s just a diet with a posh name. Madness.If you can get past that then this book is really rather good. I’m not quite sure why people are giving it such low stars...why would you buy a book on beauty if you find the whole thing really rather dull?
