Product Description
Looking good is in. Spending a lot of money on beauty treatments is out. Forget about $200 facial creams and break-the-bank treatments at your local spa. You can achieve the same results in your own home by just looking in your pantry, your fridge and your medicine cabinet. From the best-selling authors of The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets comes a new type of beauty book for our eco-conscious, economically challenged times. The Beauty Cookbook is the first-ever recipe book where what you create will be used on your body instead of put on your plate. It features inexpensive recipes, beauty treatments and tips for head-to-toe beauty. Readers will be able to achieve results in their own home with natural, fresh, very affordable ingredients that are probably already in their kitchen. Both authors have appeared on numerous TV shows, sharing their beauty tips, including Kym s role as the beauty expert on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and her guest appearances on The View as well as regular appearances on the popular Good Day LA. Cindy has done beauty reporting for national publications including People, In Touch and The New York Times syndicate, as well as appearing on the Today show. In The Beauty Cookbook, Kym and Cindy bring their unique, no-powder-puff-left-unturned knowledge of beauty, cutting-edge tips from experts, plus the humor and fun they are known for in their other books. Recipes include My Husband Ate My Facial and Stop Noshing on My Nail Care. They also offer natural beauty recipes from A-list celebrities that only confide their beauty secrets to them. Who leaves crushed rose petals in her bra to smell good all day? What actress slathers on sesame seed oil, but worries she smells like chicken stir fry? Who likes to take romantic chocolate bubble baths with her leading man? Learn how to have radiant skin, shiny hair, beautiful nails and a soft, smooth, thinner looking body without breaking the bank or even looking past their own home. Each chapter begins with a grocery list of beauty ingredients and then explains the treatments, how to create them, how to use them and why they work. Never again will women have to waste their money on expensive beauty products that contain the same basic ingredients that cost pennies instead of hundreds of dollars. Your spa is already in your pantry, resting on your closet shelves and even in your fridge. It s time to book your appointment!

Great tips! June 24, 2010

This book is full of really great, inexpensive beauty tips. My favorite tip is for brunettes: rinsing your hair with coffee to bring out the luster and shine of dark hair (that can sometimes look really dull). Great book!

Celebrity Secrets on a Suburbia Budget! March 10, 2010

When life gives you lemons, now you can whiten your nails! That's just one of the terrific tips that Kym and Cindy give us in "The Beauty Cookbook." Easy, fun recipes with stuff we've already got in the kitchen, that can make us look and feel more beautiful and radiant. The best part is that what's good for our skin, is also good for the environment. These are environmentally friendly beauty recipes, no chemicals, everything natural - and yes, mostly even edible! But the recipes aren't for concoctions to eat, they're to bathe in, or slather on. Yummy, fragrant, and practical. You'll never look at your refrigerator in the same way again.
A Must-Have Book for Every Woman February 16, 2010

Every single woman needs to own a copy of The Beauty Cookbook. Young or old, wealthy or not, high-end cosmetics maven or naturalista, this book is for you.
The Beauty Cookbook is the most comprehensive and practical beauty book I have ever come across. Chock full of recipes for everything (and I mean everything) you can imagine, Kym and Cindy offer women a fun and fabulous read as well as easy-to-make recipes to improve and beautify their hair, skin, nails, teeth, and body.
Have wrinkles but don't have hundreds of dollars to buy a fancy wrinkle cream? No problem. Kym and Cindy have several simple recipes that are time tested and guaranteed to produce results, without all the filler and junk in fancy creams. Dry skin? Got that covered, too. Want to create a romantic, relaxing, or stress-relieving bath? Check out the chapter on bath salts. Hair too processed, dry, damaged, oily, flat, frizzy, or dull? There's a solution here for you. Yellow teeth, yellow nails, yellow hair? The fix is in the book. The Beauty Cookbook even offers tips for a better night's sleep, improved memory, and fresher breath!
While one wonderful aspect of this book is the sheer volume of recipes it contains, women will be gratified to discover that the ingredients for these recipes can all be found right in the kitchen pantry. Seriously. A kitchen pantry stocked by Kroger. You don't have to find some local, exotic market or drop hundreds of dollars on hard-to-pronounce ingredients at Whole Foods. To make these recipes you need basic things like grapes, pineapples, oranges, cocoa powder, grapeseed oil, strawberries, honey, and baking soda. For mere dollars, you will look like a million bucks.
Please don't miss this book. It is THE book on beauty, and it has everything a woman could want: natural, affordable, easy, comprehensive, and effective recipes to enhance mind and body.
