Oscar in the air and said, "Hello, Gorgeous!" Now,
Rachel Weingarten tears the fancy frock off the beauty
industry in a gorgeously illustrated and hilarious
book." - Buck Wolf, Entertainment
Producer, ABC News |

vintage advertisements, social history and startling
factoids...It's a hoot to flip through. And you learn things
in much the same way your pores absorb loose powder....Keep
it on the Empire tea table next to the fainting couch, or

Sephora....Get hooked on this book"
