Customer Reviews

Great for beauty lovers
What I really like about it is that you can pick it up, flick through and start anywhere - it's easy to dip into, yet just as good to read from the start.

There's no beating around the bush - author Star Khechara gets straight to the point with everything she has to say and writes clearly and simply. After a couple of quick, easy-to-read chapters on the holistic lifestyle you're practically converted!

But the best part is the recipe section... beauty recipes that is! You can be making your own skincare, body products and hair care in no time... even tinted lip glosses. There are over 100 recipes to indulge in!

The recipes are well written and simple instructions make them easy to follow - there is even a chapter on ingredients and techniques, plus a further section on where to purchase ingredients.

A lovely gift for anyone who loves their skincare and pampering treats, especially those who prefer organic and natural products.

Great for anyone with sensitive skin
I suffer from sensitive skin and can never really trust products bought from shops as most have chemicals even if they don't declare them clearly.

So I bought this book and have tried a few recipes so far and total success! Easy to make and fun too! My skin is soft and smooth and smells gorgeous after using the bath melts. And I love using cocoa butter as I always smell like chocolate! As I am also allergic to perfumes that is pretty useful!

What I needed
Excellent! Just what i was looking for. Well written and easy to follow, and included things I could do with the children too - which they love! Great for those wet weekends, and clearing out the cupboards! The author knows what she is talking about and does so with great style and knowledge. Am looking forward to the next potion making sessions...
