ad for Beauty Bible in the junk mail

twenty2...@aol.com (Twenty2222)
I got a postal junk mail for Paula Begoun's "beauty bible."
having read "Blue eyeliner should be absolutely illegal" this new book sounds
like exactly more of the same: baking soda exfoliant, hydrogen peroxide toner,
etc etc.
anyone buy the book? I don't trust Paula Begoun because every picture I've seen
of her, I think "I could do her makeup better, she really picked bad colors for
herself."
It's just going to tell me to use tea bags for tired eyes, right?

I don't own any of Paula Begoun's books. I have looked through them
and came very close to buying one except I thought. "I don't need this
book, I have AF."
An AF psalm for my personal "beauty bible":
I trust AF, AF makes me pretty, AF is my guide. I shall not want of
lippies because AFers tell me of the BOGOF sale. Af leads me to
lemming lots of pretty colors. Though I walk alone into the Walgreens
or Sephora, AF is with me, the posters and lemmings comfort me. AF
grants me great knowledge to face the MA's and SA's My palette's are
filled, my skin microdermabrasioned, my Caboodles overflowing with AF
goodness.

Makeup, it takes believing in. Like a magic carpet, it's belief that
makes it fly. Otherwise, it's just a rug.
If you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own.
Of course, makeup is only dime–store magic. But it works well enough,
when it's used properly.",
the makeup artist, from the book Sooner or Later, based on the 1978 TV
movie of the same name.
