Mary - See all my reviews

This review is from: HISTORY OF COMPACTS AND COSMETICS: From Victorian Times to the Present Day (Women with Style) (Hardcover)

This book has great pieces of vintage makeup and is the perfect coffee table book because of that and the fact that it is not very educational. I knew I was not buying a historical text/educational piece so I am very pleased.
