Let me start by saying this - where, oh where, has Sali Hughes been all my life?!
To sum up quickly, Pretty Honest is essentially a comprehensive Beauty Bible, but so much more than that at the same time. Sali Hughes has loved and worked in the beauty industry since she was a teenager first working as a make up assistant for a music video. and has been honing her craft and expertise ever since.
The book isn't just a who's who of the best brands on offer (although there are definitely helpful and healthy dollops of knowledge all the way through), but why said brands are good and the science behind it. Because Sali knows her stuff. Hyaluronic acid (read it to find out) is a game changer. A simple skincare routine becomes a pleasurable habit rather than a chore. And red lipstick is for anyone provided you know how.
Pretty Honest isn't just a helpful beauty guide, it's also like a conversation with your (extremely knowledgeable) best friend. Sali makes you want to invest that time in yourself and makes it incredibly easy to discover how to do that. And the beginning of the New Year was, for me, the best time to read it. It's honestly made me think more about what I'm putting onto (and into) my body and how I can make the best of what I have without making any dramatically pricey changes. It was such a fun, affirming, and informative read, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
