Read beauty: Sali Hughes Pretty Honest









Have you ever wanted a little bit of advice about applying make up on the train,  how much money you should spend on specific products and how you really should be treated in a salon? This is the book for you! 

In my family I am probably the only person who is incredibly into beauty, both my mum and sister are very much of the opinion that a bit of tinted moisturiser and mascara is all you need, I am rather on the opposite scale and will take anything that will make me look a bit more this or a bit less that. However where I would go for advice in all other areas would be my mum or sister they were rather less experienced on the make up and beauty front and therefore I struggled for where to go to for advice. Yes I could go on the Internet but who really wants to scroll through a gazillion websites just to find that they don't ship that product to your country or it is just a load of media garble anyway?! 

I got this for Christmas and although it's not a fiction book, it was definitely a page turner!! Sali covers subjects such as specialist shops, how to pay and receive compliments and beauty in illness and has the kind of writing style that makes you feel as though you're listening to a friend's advice over coffee. Her no nonsense approach and her pure respect for you as the reader I quote from the 'things you never need to accept' section - 'a good hairdresser looks at how you dress, how your hair is styled and falls naturally, how you carry yourself. This is your hair - it needs to look good on you, not the salon wallpaper' Makes it one of my favourite beauty reads and something I can consistently refer back to. 

Do you have a favourite beauty read? Let me know in the comments!
