Helena Rubinstein: Over the Top

I am a huge Rubenstein fan, and thought I read everything out there, but this book, more of a coffee table book and its really wonderful! The shape of the book was not great, but the seller made it clear it was not in perfect shape, actually just the binding was bad, but the book was clean throughout, VERY HAPPY with my purchase

This book is not only a fascinating biography of H.R, it expands on the Arts, artist and architects most significant at her time.The layout, photos have never been seen before.And of course, the testimony, and writing of the author Susan Seslin is remarkable.

This is a fascinating book about business, style, and women. Helena Rubinstein built an empire through beauty. The book is very well done and tells an inspiring tale on how she changed the way women wore make up. Excellent pictures as well

The best book - lots of photos and a really interesting narrative. I highly recommend the book for people interested in fashion and art

An absolute visual treat, from the front to back cover. For anyonewho breathes beauty, art, fashion and design, a must!

Fascinating woman!
