Well, worry no more. The popular science bloggers, The Beauty Brains, are back with another book full of informative and fun beauty advice.

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.

Book Description

This book offers a cross-cultural comparison of French and British cosmetics advertisements and explores how the discourse of beauty advertising represents ideas about femininity in French and English language contexts. As the global beauty industry expands and consumers become more critical of the claims made, the topic of cosmetics advertising discourse is examined using Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis. One common theme underlying most cosmetics advertising discourse is that the female body always requires ‘work’ to fix its ‘problems’: flat skin, dry hair, and so on. The author uses themes of language and gender, media and identity, and advertising across cultures to expose exactly what is going on in the language of cosmetics advertising and to offer a first step towards challenging these ideas and thinking about alternatives.

Book Description

This book offers a collection of cutting-edge essays on the relationship between crime, harm and consumer culture. Although consumer culture has been addressed across the social sciences, it has yet to be fully explored in criminology. The editors bring together an impressive list of authors with original ideas and a fresh perspective to this field. The collection first introduces the reader to three sets of ideas which will be especially useful to students and researchers piecing together theoretical frameworks for their studies. New concepts such as pseudo-pacification, the materialist libertine and the commodification of abstinence can be used as foundation stones for new explanatory criminological analyses in the 21st century. The collection then moves on to present case studies based on rigorous empirical work in the fields of consumption and debt, ‘outlaw’ gangs, illegal drug markets, gambling, the mentality that drives investment fraudsters and the relationship between social media and state surveillance. These case studies showcase the strength of the research skills and knowledge these scholars offer to the field of criminology. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, social theory and those interested in learning about the effects of consumer culture in modern society.
