Taken in small doses, this jam-packed inside look at the surprising beauty rituals of A-list stars serves as a funny, fascinating wake-up call to the harsh reality of celebrity self-maintenance. Image consultant Douglas and freelance writer Pearlman reveal the staggering lengths to which some stars go, including everything from pre-Oscar night colonics to the anatomically incorrect deployment of lip plumpers. While there is a great deal of sensible advice included, there's also some deliciously bizarre rituals on display, such as Kate Beckinsale's three-baths-a-day regimen and Cindy Crawford's secret to beautiful skin, a regular dose of "leftover milk from her kids' bottles and equal parts mineral water," applied with a spray bottle. The best element of this insider's guide is the winning tone of self-described "former dorks" Douglas and Pearlman, who keep things light, dishy and fun.

I wouldn't say this book is going to make the list of all time favorites...but, it's a good fast read and I've learned a few beauty "secrets" that I'm looking to try out.

Loved the little interview with Jane Russell, they should have asked more actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood for their thoughts and opinions.

And screw Lisa Rinna--I'm having more than three M&Ms at a time.

Considering I'm someone who loves makeup, I can honestly say this book can give you many tips. I think if you're new to makeup, you could actually learn a lot from this book. There are interviews and tips from Celebs, people who actually are pressure to look beautiful ALL the time. I also enjoyed that the celebs interviews gave specific products, the black eyeliner from the .99 cent store doesn't have the quality as one from Chanel. So saying I use a black eye liner doesn't help...I wanna know what eyeliner!! lol. I recommend this book, I might give my copy to my Ma.
