Nice Title But the Buck Stops There!!!, Dec 16 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Make Your Own Cosmetics: Recipes, Skin Care, Body Care, Hair Care, Perfumes, and Fragrancing, Herbs, Essential Oils, Cosmetic Ingredients... (Paperback)
The ingredients listed inside this book are either very expensive (i.e. rose absolute) or extremely difficult to find. Also, the recipes are not that appealing or practical. My conclusion, the Author either doesn't want to share practical recipes or is out of touch as to why a person would want to make their own products --- simple, good recipes and more importantly it doesn't break their wallet. This book is definitely not worth buying!! There are better books out there.

Not what I was hoping for...., Sep 25 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Make Your Own Cosmetics: Recipes, Skin Care, Body Care, Hair Care, Perfumes, and Fragrancing, Herbs, Essential Oils, Cosmetic Ingredients... (Paperback)
I rarely say this, but this is a book that I regret purchasing. The recipes sound interesting but many of the items I would have to order. They are generally items that I have not heard of before or are expensive essential oils. Even though I am a soap maker, the ingredients still were not what I consider to be easily accessible. I ordered other books by Janice Cox and those books were so much more enjoyable and I know I will make many of the cosmetics/facials. I found myself skipping through pages in the book by Susan Curtis because it seemed to read more like a textbook. This is a book I will not use often.

This book is great for the beginner and for home use. If you are looking for practical information or for resale ... this is NOT the book.
