6 Mini Book Reviews

I've been reading a lot of books over the past few months and I've really enjoyed them so I wanted to share them with you all. I am going to be giving a short ,honest review on each book and give them an overall mark out of 10 with my opinion- I hope you find this helpful!





Sali Hughes, Pretty Honest , 10/10

I read this book in January and I am already tempted to read it all over again. This book is an essential real for any beauty addict and I have picked up so many great tips and tricks from it. There are many books out there filled with pretty pictures which are nice to look at ,however this book is page to page packed with amazing knowledge and facts that even some of the big experts in this business would learn from. Whether you're a beauty newbie or a long time addict, I'm sure you will love this book and find it interesting.
Overall I would highly recommend this book and I doubt anyone would ever regret picking it up- it is now my portable beauty library! :')

Zoe Sugg, Girl Online, 6/10

Zoe Sugg, widely known as internet superstar Zoella released her first novel, Girl Online late 2014 and I was intrigued to see what it would be like.
Zoe aimed this book at teenagers and I definitely noticed that whilst reading ,although I still enjoyed the easy read as an 18 year old. I liked the story line and loved how the online world was caught up to date and addressed real life issues such as anxiety and online bullying which I'm sure has helped to raise awareness to these subjects and made people feel less alone. 

Tanya Burr, Love Tanya, 8/10

I've been following Tanya Burr on her blog and Yotube for a long time and I was so excited to read her beauty and biography book as I love hearing what she has to say on different topics.
Again, like Sali Hughes' book, Tanya shares some of her top tips concerning beauty and lifestyle however she adds her own personal touch to things whilst also offering advice on confidence and happiness which I personally loved. 
I found Tanya's book to be very helpful whilst also teaching me new tips and tricks for this industry that I am extremely passionate about.
I think that many people would enjoy reading this book as Tanya includes lifestyle and baking chapters along with the usual beauty sections which I found pleasantly different to other beauty book's that I have read in the past.

Rae Morris, Makeup The Ultimate Guide, 8/10

As the title implies, this book really is a fantastic ultimate guide to makeup.
Rae Morris, a worldwide known make up artist, gives her top tips on all the essential tools you need to make the most of your work along with how to master some tricky techniques.
This book is filled with beautiful pictures and great tips and tricks-  I found the pictures to be very inspiring and I've been keen to try many of the looks out myself.
I'm sure I will go back to this for inspiration and ideas in the future multiple times. I love it!

Fleur De Force, The Glam Guide, 6/10

Fleur is a successful beauty blogger and youtube vlogger who I have followed for many years and I always love hearing her tips and advice through her posts and videos.
This 'glam guide' is filled with useful facts and I also love the illustrations throughout the book.
Maybe it's because I've read so many beauty books that I found this one to be quite repetitive and un-helpful for someone like me who already knows a lot about the subject. On the other hand I would highly recommend this book to any beauty newbies or to be given as a gift to a mother or friend.

Ella Woodward, Deliciously Ella, 8/10

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian however I do like to live a healthy lifestyle and this cook book wrote by the popular Ella Woodward who owns the blog Deliciously Ella really caught my eye and I was intrigued to see how her plant based recipes turn out.
Whether you want some healthy breakfast ideas or a sweet treat alternative then you're in the right place. I loved flicking through this book and found myself wanting to cook everything in one afternoon!- everything sounds so delicious.
So far I've made the following recipes: hummus, chocolate chia seed cookies and sweet potato brownies. I was extremely impressed with how each turned out and I especially found the brownies to be SO TASTY!


Have you read any of these books too? What did you think?
Let me know if you have any recommendations of what I should read next :)
