5.0 out of 5 stars Hail our Skincare Savior, Charlotte Cho!
Put simply: this is my Korean Beauty Bible (or just a Beauty Bible, period). Seriously. I keep it on the bookshelf next to my bed and consult it for guidance in a skin crisis.Charlotte Cho has put together a book that makes for a fun evening read that doesn't have the dryness that you might expect from a skin care book. Instead, it feels like she is one of your beautiful friends at a slumber party finally revealing her beauty secrets to you in a fun and informative way. Not only did I feel like I got to know skin care, but I also felt like I got to know the author, as well. Although Korean skincare is developing a following here in the United States, most citizens know little about it, but everyone - Asian or otherwise - can learn much from this book. (This I can vouch for personally.)She walks you through the touted "10 step Korean skin care routine" that has been branded as such for marketing purposes, making it seem less overwhelming, and explains why each step is necessary and how they form the foundation for the next steps. I bought this book immediately after purchasing the specific 10-step bundle for my skin type off sokoglam and read it in an hour, feeling like I had a much better understanding of what I was doing to my skin and why it was helping. Even better, she recommends specific products from specific brands making them easy to find (even here, on Bolo!) both on her own curated website (more than worth a visit) and across the internet; if the particular product that she recommends does not suit you for sensitivity or price reasons, she also offers alternatives of varying prices, and even encourages you to look around for what suits you best. She also does this for makeup.Some of my favorite touches within the book are her own amusing anecdotes, as well as tourism recommendations in the even that you can visit the beauty motherland (South Korea).In all, this is more than just a simple "skin care" booklet: it's a skincare guide, a makeup guide, brand and product recommendations, funny culture shock stories, insight into Korean beauty culture, and even a mini-tourism book, all in one. If that's not worth $16, then I don't know what is.
5.0 out of 5 stars Should be renamed "The Little Book of Squeal-worthy Skin Care products!" :-)
This book has been a surprise gem for me. I've always loved makeup colors and looks, but then tended to be very low maintenance, personally. However, I recently decided I was going to put a touch more effort into "me" time, starting with the purchase of a Clarisonic and some other skin care goodies. I saw this book cited in a magazine article where the author's portrait showcased her RADIANT complexion. She seriously glowed in this fantastic non-makeup looking way. I decided to buy the book and dove right in to the author's world of Korean skin care.Although there are definitely moments where I wish the author went more in-depth, or things were outlined perfectly clearly, I know from experience that food, health and beauty is never "one size fits all". So, instead I allowed myself to enjoy getting carried away to another world I had never really considered before: Seoul. The author's wonderful description of the people, city, food and culture made me want to sign up for a trip instead of just a new beauty regimen... and the plane tickets sure are cheaper than going to Europe. *fidget-fidget*Well, since I don't know a lick of Korean and now isn't a good time for a trip, I used the inspiration and suggestions from this book to pick up an assortment of (freaking seriously adorable!!) beauty products from Bolo. She does have a cute little website, and I was considering supporting her until I saw the huge array of offerings on Bolo-- and I am sorry, but I am spoiled by Bolo Prime! Search for: Tonymoly, Etude, Too Cool for School-- and others!I have to say that with the authors suggestions I felt the confidence trying things out, when I may have been more worried before reading this book if the products were legit. And, wow!, is she right-- Korean beauty products are mostly beyond adorable (think pandas, dinosaurs, puppies, fruit with faces and so many colors!) and mostly really frugally priced. Many things are under $10 and pretty much all are under $20. For under $150 I was able to pick up the most adorable hairband with kitty ears to hold back my hair while I give myself my daily "spa time", a hairband that is a fuzzy bow with dots, an awesome-sounding oil cleanser, water cleansers that look like eggs in an egg carton, pore cleaning strips that look like strawberries, brightening mask that looks like a tomato, a whole set of paper masks with cute wrappers that do different things, a huge set of lip glosses that look like bunnies, a cushion compact in my super pale skin tone, a triple set of blotting papers with a box that has dinosaurs walking through the city on the cover, and a light powder that looks like a smiling kitty (I know it's not dewy but I have very oily skin! It's for my t-zone only!). I also was lured into getting these little foam strawberry hair curlers... and a couple things doubled up for Christmas presents. Tiny, cute and frugal? What great qualities for stocking stuffers!Thanks to this not-so little book I feel like I have not only been opened up to a huge new world of affordable and adorable beauty products, but also to the thought of really enjoying my "me" time. I have been attempting to begin treating my skin as I will when I have all my new goodies and just the mindset has me feeling and looking better than ever. I am so excited for the goodies to arrive, I actually want to *Squee!* out loud, and be assured I will review each item as it arrives and I try it out. A warm-fuzzy thanks to Charlotte Cho! Maybe someday I will get to visit Seoul, have Korean BBQ, soju and a fun shopping spree! Until then there are animal-shaped face mists! :DUPDATE: 11/25/2015 A bunch of my goodies have already arrived (TY Bolo Prime!) and I am blown away by the packaging and how effective so many things have been even upon first use. Also I have marveled at how nice the other products, like the essency masks, have felt (which I hope to have positive cumulative effects!) that I will be rereading this book to look for more of her "favorites" to try down the line. After going through a "more-multi than I am used to"- step program this evening, with a double cleanse and a mask and some treatments... my skin looked amazing. Literally the best I can remember it looking post-puberty. Even my dear exasperated boyfriend said, "YES! I can see your glowing and poreless skin from here!! No I am not coming in there to stare at your nose!" :P Again, Thank you Charlotte Cho! :DUPDATE: 01/04/2015 I've been using methods and products suggested or influenced by having read this book for a couple months now and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. My one-time, clogged, blemish-prone, sensitive, starting to show tiny signs of aging, skin has been looking nicer and nicer. And I've been spending a fortune on product after product, looking for results without burning my face off, for decades now. The products I've found because of the influence of reading this book have given me my best skin since I was a pre-teen. Plus, I am enjoying it as "me" time, complete with cat ears headbands to hold my hair out of my face while I wear sheet masks and use products that come in panda bear-shaped tubes. I feel giddy sometimes at the whole experience- feeling fresh and pretty as well as having fun and enjoying myself. Oh, and though there are a lot of products I have gotten, some of which I have reviewed already, too-- if you have similar skin you may like "Mizon Snail" and "Skin Food Peach" products, in particular. Both of which you will find reviewed in my profile. I hope this helps and I wish you lots of luck with your skin care program! :-)
4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand skin-care routine book!
This book was pretty interesting. I think it's great for people who are just starting out with a skin care routine! It's easy to understand and follow and has a lot of great tips for finding the right products for you (because everyone is different).One thing to note is it has a lot of extra information as well. I didn't mind it but I ended up skipping over a lot of the extra content about Korea towards the end. While I wasn't a huge fan of this the small excerpts from other people and their skin care info was pretty interesting. I would love to see an addition to the book that included more about buying skin care products in the United States as well!Overall I enjoyed it and learned a lot! I have been using the 10-step routine mentioned in the book for over a month and its actually working pretty good for me!

Mejor en Español
Lo compré pensando que su lectura a primera vista iba a ser fácil pero si quieres enterarte bien de todo es mejor en español ya que hay términos Koreano- Inglés difíciles de traducir. Vendedor 100% recomendable, envío rápido y muy buena comunicación. Gracias por todo.
davvero interessante
Per me che non ero a conoscenza della beauty care coreana questo libro è stata una vera rivelazione!spiegato bene in modo scorrevole anche per chi non parla abituale inglese ogni giorno,è pieno di spiegazioni e suggerimenti davvero utili.inoltre ti aiuta a riflettere su alcune cose che davvero si danno per scontate ma che tanto scontate non dovrebbero essere!se poi si vuole fare un bel viaggetto a Seoul c'è pure una piccola guida alla città.libro completo che consiglio a chi vuole approfondire la visione coreana di bellezza e imparane i trucchi!
