Or something. Anyway, we’re so freaking excited. One of our favorite magazines, whose Approval Matrix we read every single week (we like pictures), has us in their sights. And we made it into the good box!
We’re pretty tickled by this review of the book up on Style.com. Not only because the Vogue sister site is a favorite go-to for us to see the latest in fashion—but we really feel like writer Kari Molvar got where we’re coming from. From her review:
Unlike some other green beauty guides, Looks is refreshingly free of preachiness or judgment. O’Connor and Spunt seem to understand that not everyone will be game for sprinkling baking powder under their arms as deodorant or giving up highlights altogether. Instead, the book lays out all the facts and leaves it up to the reader to decide what next steps to take.
Ear to ear smiles over here. Our biggest fear—aside from misunderstanding the science—was to sound preachy or extreme. Coming clean is a different process for everyone. For instance, when the occasion calls for it, we still wear waterproof mascara. We just want to help make the transition easier.
Be still our hearts. TIME magazine has a piece that highlights some of our best advice from the book. Five total. In slideshow form. Written by the awesome environment reporter Bryan Walsh. We. Are. Speechless. (Except for what we just said.) Clink! Clink!
Our first review is in and we couldn’t be more thrilled! It’s from Christine Lepisto over at Treehugger, and she had some really nice things to say about the book.
It begins “A Book Every Girl Should Own” (aww!), and goes on to summarize what we cover in the book, and what she makes of it all. We’re delighted that she liked it. Here’s a sample of what she had to say:
Every girl likes to look her best. That is why she should read No More Dirty Looks: The Truth About Your Beauty Products, and the Ultimate Guide to Safe and Clean Cosmetics. Siobhan O’Connor and Alexandra Spunt have delivered an easy-to-read, understandable source that answers the questions: Does this beauty product work? Is it worth the risks? Is there a better solution for beauty without the drawbacks of harmful chemicals?
And last but not least… Why would any company put harmful chemicals in a beauty product?
That last one’s the clincher. Keep reading…
