Hey,
I’m sure many of you wonderful people are Youtube fans like
me and will have realised the recent influx in content creators writing and
producing books. Now, it’s a hotly debated and controversial topic, and I can definitely
say that some of these books are a lot better than others, but when British
beauty and fashion blogger Fleur de Force released ‘The Glam Guide’, I had to
get my hands on it!
The Glam Guide is Fleur’s lifestyle book, filled with interesting
advice and fashion tips that have also built her successful blog and channel.
One of my most investigated factors was who actually wrote
this book. Although I understand the need of ghost-writers, when you’re under
the impression a Youtuber has written a book, than you want them to have
actually written it. That’s one of the wonderful things about The Glam Guide
because Fleur actually wrote it and there’s no ghost-writers hidden in the
T&Cs.
Fleur’s naturally creative and captivating writing style is
what really brings this book to life, clearly developed through her blog and
Youtube carrier.
The Glam Guide is a great easy-to-read coffee table book,
whether you want to pick it up and read a few pages or consume the entire book
in just a few days – I was the latter of the two. When I got the book, I
decided to keep it as a holiday treat and I just could not put it down. I read
this on the plane, on the beach- I was completely addicted.
If you are a lover of Fleur or not, I’m sure you’ll enjoy
this read. The Guide touches on the themes of fashion, beauty, healthy,
happiness and everything else along the way. However this is not a book that’s
all about her, it is more of a style handbook for the everyday girl and woman.
This book has clearly been really well thought out and
immaculately planned, from the chapter titles to the ‘top tip’ boxes that pop
up every now and again. Some pages have large paragraphs, others are sectioned
into bitesize phrases. I especially liked the 10 quick tip pages that summed up
the last chapter and gave concise advice.
One of the other most appealing factors of this book is the
incredible presentation. I truly believe The Glam Guide is the most beautiful
book I’ve ever owned and I’m sure will be for a long time to come. This book is
filled with stunning photography that captures Fleur’s incredible beauty, striking
graphics and drawings that make her words come to life. All of this put
together is what makes The Glam Guide such a pleasure to read. From the rose
gold titles on the front cover to the thoughtful acknowledgment at the beach,
this was a cover-to-cover page-turner and I loved it.
I would really recommend it to Fleur’s fans, any fashion/
beauty lovers or any young teens and women that want a few tips on becoming as
gorgeous and ‘glam’ as Fleur. The book is £14.99 (or £7.49 on Amazon) but personally I think it’s
worth every penny and I know I’ll be referring back to it for some extra advice
when relevant! I hope you’ve enjoyed this review and have a good day,
Social networking-
