More and more YouTube stars are bringing out books but very few take my interest. Fleur De Force's 'The Glam Guide' tempted me, and when it was half price at WHSmith (£7.50!) I couldn't help myself. So I bought it, and I read it.
The first thing that struck me about this book was the illustrations and the photographs. They were gorgeous, well placed and really added to the experience of the book. I do love a good picture, after all.
Her book has a number of sections; beauty, hair, fashion, travel, health & fitness, life and youtube & blogging. I found all to be entertaining and informative, both reinforcing things I knew and giving me inspiration for hair/fashion/life etc. The beauty section was the least useful to me however it was an enjoyable read and I did learn a few things. (Absolutely never would have thought about using a tiny paintbrush dipped in nail polish remover to tidy up home manicures but will absolutely be doing so from now on). Plus there was a section on homemade face masks which I was pleasantly surprised to see included a range of ingredients and their individual skin benefits so you can mix and match to suit you. Definitely going to be trying that soon!

The other sections were great, too. I am now a lot more motivated to eat the right foods, to work harder in general and to be more confident. Plus I learned some things about blogging which I didn't know already!
I would highly recommend this book, it's fun and it's informative and I personally thoroughly enjoyed it. So congratulations to Fleur for all of her hard work - I'm sure it's quite a struggle to write a book such as this with very little experience but she did it beautifully!
Thanks for reading,
