Product Description
From Nadine Haobsh, aka Jolie in NYC ("The poster child for the blogger generation...you can't help but love her."—New York Post), comes a delectable novel that only a true beauty industry insider could have written!
Bella Hunter may be down but she's not out yet—and she's ready to take on the world of beauty...one bad makeover at a time.
Pity the poor twenty-eight-year-old beauty expert and columnist for ultra-chic Enchanté magazine, knocked right out of her Jimmy Choos—and out of a job—when her off-the-cuff comment to a reporter is blown way out of proportion. Once the authority on style, Bella's reduced to taking a position at Womanly World, a publishing dinosaur of no interest whatsoever to any woman under fifty. Suddenly she's got to take orders from a dreary and dowdy beauty director—and is soon at war with her male publisher, who might actually be appealing if he wasn't so totally frosty.
Bella's supermodel boyfriend, a hometown wedding, and a Paris junket are fine distractions, to be sure. But how can she face her friends and ex-coworkers now that she's stuck in an office where khaki—not Cavalli—is the way of life? And if beauty's not what it's all about...then what is?

Beautiful, April 8 2009
By Butterscotch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Confessions Of A Beauty Addict (Paperback)
This was a thoroughly enjoyable book, despite the fact that the main character, Bella Hunter, is unlikeable. Bella is a beauty writer for a famous fashion magazine and is, to say the least, very spoiled. She's spoiled by her lifestyle and the perks her job brings, and she's used to getting her way and having it done right now, until.. she loses her job in a very disastrous way. It's a lot of fun to see Bella taken down and to completely readjust her life and lifestyle. The journey towards a new Bella is really fun, and by the end I was definitely more interested in her character. I think the author did a really good job of crafting a story about a character with many personal faults/failings and yet somehow still manages to get you involved with her story. And, she didn't leave out the romance either. If there is any fault with the book I'd say it's the ending - for some reason it felt too neatly wrapped up and rushed. The story deserved a much better ending.

Super book!, April 13 2009
By S. Falcone "Shopaholic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Confessions Of A Beauty Addict (Paperback)
I took this book with me on vacation to Mexico (paperback, so it was great by the pool). It was such a great read! I really felt like I was there alongside Bella through the entire ordeal. It's a pretty thick book, but don't be intimidated, it's a very easy read. I loved it! I highly recommend it!
