Book Description
“We just asked the movie stars how they did it. What did they use? How often? Where did they get it? How can we do it, too? And they told us. We couldn't believe it either.”
Kym Douglas, host of the upcoming Lifetime makeover show Queen and the image consultant on The View, and celebrity journalist Cindy Pearlman had always wanted to know how the A-list stars looked so, well, A-list. It turns out that even the most carefully guarded stars were more than happy to dish. Collected here, in their own words, celebrities and their beauty gurus reveal their tricks of the trade.
How do they reduce puffiness, lose five pounds in a week, put shine in their hair, buff their skin, and vacuum their pores without spending a fortune? Find out from Jennifer Aniston, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Lindsay Lohan, Beyoncé Knowles, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Hurley, Charlize Theron, and many, many more!
Kym Douglas is the creator and host of the upcoming Lifetime Television makeover show, Queen, airing in October and the image consultant on The View. She appears regularly on Soap Talk, Good Day Live, Before & After'noon, and Your Weekend with Jim Brickman.

Big on hype, long on snark, short on quality...save your $$.......2007-06-21
I made the mistake of actually purchasing this book. I would've taken it back if I hadn't already thrown away the receipt, that is how BAD this book is! True beauty has nothing to do with making uncharitable and jealous comments, and it seems like every sentence in this book is prefaced with "MEOW!" I do not like this current trend toward Us Magazine style cattiness and rudeness in Hollywood gossip circles, and it seems to have permeated this book something fierce. What good is attaining outer beauty if the seemingly beautiful person is unattractively rude and has caustic, mean-spirited and sarcastic stuff constantly running out of her mouth?
Another thing I found offensive about this book? The hypocrisy of one of the authors. If you look at the picture in the back of the book, you'll notice that Cindy Pearlman, is considerably fat...in fact, you could say she is OBESE...yet throughout the book she and her "new best friend" aka co-writer Kym Douglas make all sorts of hurtful cracks about large sized women. What's with all the self loathing Cindy? Still trying to fit in with the 'preps' 20 or more years after graduating high school? Still getting ready for that prom you apparently never attended? Sad...and pathetic. Get over it already.
As for the so-called beauty "secrets", do these authors think we were born yesterday? I don't buy most of that mess in this book for a New York minute! Do you honestly expect us to believe those actresses are too cheap to buy real beauty products? Please. Plus I am NOT interested in learning any of beauty secrets who women who are in the sex industry, either. Why are they glorifying strippers and pole dancers in this book? Disgusting.
As for their assessment that men are only interested in women who look like those on the "A" list...this is simply not so. How do I know? Well, I've been to Hollywood, Beverly Hills AND Malibu, so I can tell you by personal experience the STRAIGHT men there appreciate all sorts of beauty in women...and they are equally as likely to flirt with a woman with meat on her bones as he is the tall blonde size "0" waifs running around with scary Botox smiles! The true beauty "secret?" CONFIDENCE IN ONESELF...which doesn't cost one red cent!!!
Trust me, in the end, you're better off taking that money you would've spent on books of this ilk and putting it toward a fab vacation to California and really living it up, rather than living vicariously through this flimsy book with bogus beauty "secrets" you can find on any beauty website. I'm not even going to give this book to charity...it's just going directly into file 13.
Interesting book.......2007-05-31
I learned a bunch of little things from this book. It's organizational set is poor but if you read it, there are tidbits of info everywhyere.
Like my Gossip Mag and beauty advice in one!.......2007-05-26
Being a mommy, I have to admit that I do read gossip mags occasionally as a guilty pleasure! Reading the Hollywood Beauty secrets gave me that indulgence along with a lot of home tips I had never heard of before---- granted I am not a big make-up and hair kinda gal. There are a lot of well-off women who can afford expensive body products and treatments who are quoted in the book, can't relate :) But overall there is something for everyone! I hear they are doing another title.... can't wait to read it!

such a fun read.......2007-04-11
This is a great book to take to bed, don't forget a pad and pen because you'll make loads of notes.. I loved it and highly recommend it for oodles of good tips; plus, it's fun to look up products the 'stars' use, see what kind of deals are out there, great, little, black book:-)
My first book was stolen before I read the whole thing..........2007-04-01
Thats right I had to order another Blackbook because that would be the only way to read it this year. The library had 17 people in front of me in line for the book so I just bought another. The read was fun and the tips were there. I am waiting now for my 2nd copy. The first had my name and phone# inside so if for some reason I do get it back I think it would make a nice gift for any women I know. If not for the entertainment but some beauty secrets I had not heard of. Its not like I can't learn more. That is why I only give it 4 Stars. Maybe if I get to read the whole book I would have given it 5 Stars

Hollywood Beauty Secrets Book.......2007-05-20
The book was everything I expected. In perfect condition, packaged safely and arrived quickly. I would do business with these people anytime!! A+A+A+
A REAL TREASURE CHEST OF INFO.......2006-01-03
THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY WOMAN. I AM TRULY AMAZED. HER REMEDIES ACTUALLY WORK. NOT ONLY WERE THEY EASY TO FOLLOW BUT IT COST ME NEXT TO NOTHING TO USE THEM. I SPENT TONS OF MONEY TRYING TO GET RID OF THE LITTLE BROWN SPOTS ON MY FACE WITH LITTLE RESULTS. I TRIED ONE PRODUCT THAT LOUISA RECOMMENDED AND IT DID WAY MORE THAN THE TREATMENT I PAID A TON OF MONEY FOR. THE SPOTS ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE!! I LOOK TEN YEARS YOUNGER. I'VE TRIED OTHER PRODUCTS AND REMEDIES THAT SHE RECOMMENDS WITH SIMILAR RESULTS. I KEEP THIS BOOK HANDY AT ALL TIMES. THANKS, LOUISA!!!
Hollywood Beauty Secrets.......2006-01-03
What a great book! Very well organized. I found it easy to get to the information I was interested in and was pleased to see that I could order a lot of the stuff from the website. So many times it's hard to track down a product. When I did order it, she even sent me a few samples of related products to try. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Hollywood Beauty Secrets is a Must Have Book!.......2006-01-02
Not only have I read the book, I have met the author. She hasn't just written a book, she lives it every day. She is beautiful and caring and knows what she is talking about. Her book is not only informative, it is fascinating to read. I especially love how she wraps up each section with a list of the products and where best to find them. You can also call her and she will spend as much time as you need to get your questions answered. She never does the hard sell - she just offers great advice and lets you decide. I use her products and I know they work. I can see and feel a difference. She is a true professional with ethics and integrity and I recommend her books and her advice without hesitation to anyone who wants to look and feel better from head to toe!
Buy the Newest Edition from Author's Site.......2006-01-02
The NEWEST 3rd edition of this book is THE best yet, however it is NOT offered on Amazon. Amazon is selling the old second edition, so if you want the NEWEST edition at 30% off cover price go directly to www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com
Amazon is selling the old version which does not contain all the invaluable info you may have seen the author talk about on TV or heard on radio, which may be the reason for the two lower scores listed in the testimonials. They obviously got the wrong book so could not find what the author spoke about. This happened to me too so I contacted the author and she sent me a NEW book for free!! The book is loaded with free easy-to-make recipes, lists of affordable items that you can buy in any drug store, beauty supply store or health food store. All types of remedies for every age woman, teenagers and any budget too. Even doctors recommend this book to their patients. You'll see many testimonials on her site and in the beginning of the new book - pages and pages of the. If you want the doctor-quality products the author reports in her book, instead of going to each web site or your dermatologist, you can get the harder-to-find items at www.hollywoodbeautysecrets.com. The author also does phone consultations if you need guidance. That's pretty darn great. I LOVED this new thrid edition book and when I spoke with the author, she spent over 45 minutes on the phone with me AND SHe was genuinely concerned -- didn't try to sell me a thing. She's a rare find. After speaking with her I was so motivated to start 2006 with her weight loss tips. Thank you dear!
