Summary: Nothing New Here
Review: Although this book is basically geared for women 40 and up, i found this book more than inspirational, it's my guide for life.Browsing the shelves for a book about fashoin, nutrition, and "how to live a stress free life" i came accross "Ageless Beauty", the book looked so attractive sitting on the shelf, i just had to have it! I read the book in one day, soaking up each word, all the while wanting to write to the author and tell her she had hit on all the personal aspects that i was dealing with! I am 25 and this book has inspired me more than any other book i've ever read, and college students have to read allot! :) not only have i taken all of her advise, but it's all worked for me! I've lost weight, i'm healthier and stronger than i was at sixteen and i've learned ways of taking control of myself in ways that don't just help me, they pamper me. I am a firm believer that allllll women deserve this! I can't imagine anyone not feeling the same as myself after reading this great book! She's entertaining and down to earth and i only wish that more women under 40 would read it, i am certain that there are more 25 year olds who need the advice and wisdom and the uplifting that Haddon's book can give!

Summary: Simply beautiful
Review: Dayle Haddon's Ageless Beauty is the only book that I have come across which speaks to women about the "composite of beauty" - addressing physical concerns, as well as practical solutions to life's dilemmas. I purchased this book as a gift for my wife and she kept interrupting me as she across pages that she found interesting. Hopefully, women will be able to dive into the chapters about community, laughter, stress reduction and begin to understand beauty - the kind of beauty Dayle writes about - as self-image, confidence and developing a greater sense of self and community.As a former photographer, I was impressed with the use of photographs by the "greats" in the fashion industry - Peggy Sirota, Guy Bourdin to name a few. Think of this book as a practical guide to developing a fuller life.

Summary: Merely a Coffee Table Book
Review: I bought this book in great expectation of obtaining some ideas and hints for beauty treatments for women over 40. I was wrong! It was merely a book showing off Ms. Haddon's over-40 photograph stills--airbrushed to say the least. It did not tell anything I did not know already on achieving it...

Review: I did not like this book. After reading "The Beauty Bible" by sarah stacey and josephine fairley, I thought it was poorly written. Anyone looking for a really good informative beauty book should purchase "The beauty bible" instead.

Summary: Every woman over 40 should read this book!
Review: I was very impressed with this book. Ms. Haddon gives sound advice to those of us over 40. One aspect of the book that I found to be appealing was the fact that everything mentioned in the book are things that anyone can do. Ms. Haddon certainly gave me a push in the right direction. I don't feel as down in the dumps about being over 40 after I read this book. It was truly inspirational. I didn't find any of the outrageous suggestions made in other beauty/well-being books. Every suggestion is one that is easily attainable for women of all budgets, not just the very wealthy. Although it is obvious that Ms. Haddon is a very beautiful woman, I never felt that the information/suggestions she presented was beyond my grasp, or unattainable by a working, middle-class woman, such as myself. This book is about taking good care of what you already have and enhancing it as best you can. I purchased this book about a month ago, have read it cover to cover, and have gone back to it many times. Ms. Haddon covers virtually every aspect of my concerns as a woman who is no longer 30. One item I found to be particulary appealing was the "personal touch", Ms. Haddon was warm and open about her feelings, past hurts, etc. I felt as if I could meet her on the street and strike up a conversation without any pretense. I plan on giving this book as a gift to many of my friends. Good job, Ms. Haddon! I hope you will write another book very soon!

Summary: Simply beautiful
Review: This book is beautifully written and presented. Her messageseems to be that all of us need to practice a more balanced approachto beauty - consistently addressing health, fitness and spirit. I like that Ms. Haddon seems grounded and is able to flow between her "modeling life" and a life more like mine. Her website...is really nice too. I think her words are practical -and I feel inspiried to try a few suggestions - especially the dry brushing and the ultimate makeup kit.
