Are you sick of outrageous beauty claims and over-priced products that don't deliver? Tired of not knowing what to believe about products? Confused about who to trust for beauty tips and tricks? Well, worry no more. The popular science bloggers, The Beauty Brains, are back with another book full of informative and fun beauty advice. "It's Ok to Have Lead in Your Lipstick" starts by debunking what the American Council on Science and Health called the number one unfounded health scare story of 2007. And that's just the beginning: this book answers dozens of important (and some oddball) beauty questions that you're dying to know. Here's what else you'll learn... Clever lies that the beauty companies tell you. The straight scoop of which beauty myths are true and which are just urban legends. Which ingredients are really scary and which ones are just scaremongering by the media to incite an irrational fear of chemicals. How to tell the difference between the products that are really green and the ones that are just trying to get more of your hard earned money by labeling them "natural" or "organic." Written in a straight talk, fact based style yet laced with plenty of humor, "It's Okay to Have Lead in Your Lipstick" is an easy and informative read for all ages.

When the Marquis of Sherwood declines her invitation to a Society occasion with the scathing comment that he has no wish to spend his time with débutantes, whom he believes are 'half-witted, gauche, stupid and not well-educated', Lady Katherine Wick is incensed. Even more so when she discovers that he apparently prefers the company of the Gaiety Girls, the femmes fatales of the theatrical set. So she resolves to teach him a lesson by enlisting dear friend Lavina Vernon and her most beautiful, talented and witty friends to pose as Gaiety Girls at an unchaperoned party at the Marquis' country mansion – there to prove that Society girls are intelligent as well as glamorous. Kind, demure country parson's daughter Lavina is uncomfortable with this deceit – all the more so as she comes to realise that her heart belongs utterly to the Marquis. The question, once the pretence has been exposed, is whether he will treasure it... Or break it.

The beauty industry is now a multinational, multi-million dollar business. In recent years its place in contemporary culture has altered hugely as salons have become not simply places to have your hair cut or your nails done, but increasingly sites of physical and even spiritual therapy. In this fascinating and nuanced study, Paula Black strips away many popular assumptions about the beauty industry, including the one that says it exploits people's insecurity by projecting an illusory beauty myth. The interviews in this book - both with the beauty industry's workers and its clients - reveal a far more complex and interesting picture, and, in their presentation, Black re-formulates many feminist debates around choice and constraint. The debates addressed include issues around the body; the construction and maintenance of gender identity; changing definitions of health and well-being; and labour processes.
