Thanks to Pretty City, I found out about Ella Bache Spa, an absolute gem in the heart of Midtown Manhattan! I haven't visited many of the other places mentioned in the book but Ella Bache's treatments, customer service, prices and products were just as great as Pretty City described. It's too bad that some of the other readers didn't encounter as much luck. Maybe they haven't been to Ella Bache?!
Wow! Totally comprehensive and entertaining!

Weinstein not only knows her material, she's very fun to read. Vivid descriptions, concise tips and fair reviews make this book a delightful read. Hoping Kim will start writing for LA and other cities soon!
great reference book with helpful hints

This book, perfectly sized to fit in a purse when on an expedition to either a drug store or an up-scale department store, provides make-up and related information for those who don't know where to start as well as those who are interested in trying a new line. I bought ten copies as holiday presents for friends here in Tucson (even though the book is geared for New York City, much of the content is applicable nationwide -- time for one for San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Phoenix and even Tucson!)and appreciated tips on make-up removers, brush care, website links, book suggestions and much more. Weinstein's candid remarks were so much more helpful than much of the advertising sales lingo that is provided in advertising and the extensive glossary was particularly helpful to this reader to help understand the information provided on various products.
A must have
