The Lingerie HandbookThe Lingerie Handbook by Rebecca Apsan
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $0.44
I've watched Oprah's bra fitting show, and know how Spanx works, but this takes things beyond, explaining how to buy a bra that fits well, and what type of shapewear you need to own. Lingerie doesn't have to be expensive, but even inexpensive lingerie is worth caring for, this book explains how to look after your investment.

Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th EditionDon't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition by Paula Begoun
Buy new: $21.56 / Used from: $6.86
The ultimate consumer guide to cosmetics and skin care. I've owned various editions and prefer to always have this reference on my shelf. Use the recommendations to get the best most up to date skin care products available, avoid mistakes and save money, far more $ than the price of the book. This pointed me to Olay's Regenerist line and saved me from the hype around the recent Boots No 7 craze.
The Skin Type SolutionThe Skin Type Solution by Leslie Baumann
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $4.01
Another book I love. This is like sitting down and picking the brains of an expensive and top notch dermatologist, which the author is. I learnt some very valuable tips, like DON'T use microdermabrasion kits if you have or think you have rosacea! Excellent resource, should be on every woman's bookshelf.
