OMG this is so cool!
Definitely most interested in Projections.
’Foundations’ seem really interesting…histories of things have always fascinated me.
i’m excited to read about globalisation. I’d love to find out how various cultures have inspired others in makeup =]
Thank you for the giveaway!
I would love to read all parts of this, but probably most interested in Projections!
I’m most excited to read Globalisatio!
im most excited to read the foundations book =D
xoxo Susie
I’m most excited to read the Globalisation part.
Hi,
I would love to be able to read the Projections Part.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Wow this is amazing! I think I’d be most excited to check out the “Globalisation” book!
I’m interested in confrontations.
globalisations!
Oh WOW!!!!!!
I have seen this book on the Sephora website! I ahve wanted it since reading your review of it on Temptalia!
I am most particularly interrested to learn about the evolution of beauty through times, cultures, civilizations. How our definition/ideals of what is beautiful/ugly has changed over time for various reasons.
What a wonderful prize!
Wow was the first thought that came to my mind when I read about the book on your blog, I was fascinated by the especially the foundations history and beauty defined over the years and lastly feasting my eyes on the beautiful pictures is what i would look most forward to! thank you for sharing this gem with us..i love this blog
civilisations, but all of it 100%
Ooh..it is a tie between Globalisation and Projections
Projections!! This is so neat
I do not discriminate. I would love to read the history through all the ages. Less interested in the stuff on globalization, or the future of beauty. I want to read about prehistoric foundation, renaissance era cork cheek plumpers, the evolution of the “proper” female archetype, and find out how mascara evolved! I really really hope I get this! I DESPERATELY need new reading material, and this would be a nice companion to some of the other literature I’ve been thumbing through lately.
Well, I guess I wasn’t concise enough in replying to the question: I am most interersted inthe civilization book/part. Sorry…
The books look so great! I am most curious about the PROJECTIONS part.
I’m a history buff, so this prize would be so exciting to learn of all the civilizations involvement with makeup!
i really want to read about foundations ! for any good look you need a good base so i would love to see how they have changed over the years !
Ohh foundations!!
I’m most excited to see how they handled the topic of beauty in Confrontations.
0.0 For me its definately the civilizations book…i’m such a sucker for history and how one thing effects another^^
i think Projections will be the most excited for me
civilizations
Confrontations would be cool to read
Most definitely Foundations! To know the history of painting faces and giving face, makes for unbelieveable inspiration!
I think the whole set would be super interesting. Projections would be a hoot to read! not only do I like to practice “beauty” but being knowledgable about beauty is very interesting to me! We can have it all – looks and brains
I would love to just read the whole thing!
Definitely Projections. I am eager to see where the beauty industry is headed in the next 10-20 years.
I would love to read all of them. I am obsessed with make up so the more I read, the more knowledge I gain.
Thanks for this!
Globalisation sounds really interesting!
Interesting, it looks like the individual book titles have changes since you reviewed it. I’m most interested in Globilization and how how beauty has changed and been influenced by different cultures.
If you read my review, you’ll see that there are two titles for each – http://www.temptalia.com/100000-years-of-beauty-book-review-photos
Oh I see it now, the books are in sleeves so there’s a title on the spine and one on the sleeve too.
I would love to read the whole book but looking forward to starting it all off with the Foundations.
I am most excited to read civilisations! Would love to win – I’m a huge booklover
CIVILIZATIONS! Yes, that’s the part of history which I like most!
Wow…how fun! I am most interested in reading “Globalisation” & “Projections”!!
Hello! I am very excited to see that there is a new contest here!
I would be so happy to win! I think I would deffinately love to read the Civillisations part! It seems really interesting but they are all lovely!
Oooh, Confrontations for me.
I am very interested in reading globalization!!!
I’m most interested in the globalization and projections part. I want to see how beauty is regarded around the world and as a budding makeup artist, what is to come!
Foundations sounds really interesting- I’d love to learn more about how humans first developed beauty concepts and the first cosmetic materials.
witout a doubt “projections” i think would be the most interesting. What we know about the past doesnt change much, but the future is constantly evolving and changing. It will also be fun to look back on the books and see how the projections panned out.
“Foundations” intrigues me the most. So often in nature the male of a species is the one displaying his colors to catch a potential mate’s attention. As for humans, it’s fallen upon females to make themselves up. Sure, today we use makeup to please ourselves, but who can deny that they don’t want to look good for their partner? Seems the metrosexual male should have existed long ago!
Civilisations!
That seems like it will be really interesting.
I am excited to read the book on civilisations. How anything evoles has always peeked my intrest. Great idea!! Take a breather from all the studying..
I’m trying to build a collection of beauty and fashion related books! I definitely would check out Civilisations! I love reading up on them and to have beauty in the mix would be really interesting!
xoxo
interested in projections!
I am most interested in the civilisations volume. I have always been fascinated with different cultures and history, especially greek and egyptian civilizations.
I’m most interested in Civilisations!
I’m most excited about “civilisations”
This is so interesting! I am most interested in Civilisations.
Globalisation for sure, but they all seem fascinating
I’d love to read all 5
confrontations sounds interesting…
civilization! omg i want to see the transitions of makeup cause i tend to do old school kinda stuff for school plays and such
i wanna win pweaaseeee 
Foundations seems really interesting!
I’m super excited to read the “Foundations” portion because every good thing begins with a good foundation!
I’d like to read Confrontations. Fun contest!
Difficult decision, but I think I’m most interested in Foundations
I am most exicted to read “Foundations” – I’m always interested in how things come about.
I’m definitely most interested in Globalisation! I grew up in many countries as a kid, and the differences and similarities in people’s perceptions of beauty is fascinating.
Most interested in Civilisations !!!
I´m really excited about the projections chapter, which i suppose talks about future developments in beuty. Imagine all the things we´ll be able to do!
I’m most interested in foundations:)
i’m a huge history junkie so i would love to read civilizations book
gah these books are amazing!
DEFINITELY foundations. I love the pun
I’m probably most interested in Globalisation, although I’m sure all of them are amazing!
I am most exicited about the projections I an dying to see what loreal forecasts for the future of makeup will be!!!!!!
Wow, I am so longing for this book(s). Civilization definitely has my eye, though!
Civilisations, I think. I’d love to read about cosmetic use among early peoples. I’d love to read all five delicious volumes!
I would like to read “Confrontations.” I have seen plenty of them out there, but would like to see how confrontations relate to the world of beauty.
OMG what a great prize!!! I am most interested in reading the “Civilisations” section! It is related to my field of study!
WoW!
These books look Really wonderful,
I am eagerly anticipating them all -
so hard to choose just one! LOL
Ok, Confrontations it is
Civilisations. Very exciting, thanks for the opportunity to own this.
Definitely civilizations. Sounds awesome.
Amazing collection! I would love to see Civilizations to learn about the different ways makeup was created/developed from a cultural perspective.
I really want to read foundations!
really interested in confrontations. would LOVE this whole set. i’ve been wanting it since i heard about it.
Fantastic!
I think the whole thing would be so interesting to read. I would be most excited about Projections ^^
That’s a very good question. I’m a social scientist by trade (I’m a political scientist in my day job – although my research is on European political economy rather than makeup, snore!) so this set of books seem right up my alley. I’m an horrendous snob about the quality of research and from what I have seen of the previews, the authors have taken this project (beautifully) seriously. I think bearing in mind my academic predilections, I’d be most interested in the globalisation book. One of my major interests is how geographical identities are formed and why it is we self-define as being part of a particular region and culture. I guess our facial appearance is a fairly fundamental part of that and I’d like to know how the global media is changing cultural ideas of beauty
Plus, the pictures look way better than the books I usually read!
“Civilisations” sounds really cool!
I’m super excited to read “Globalisation!” This is such an awesome contest!
Hmmmm, torn between Civilisations and Projections. – old and new- but If I have to choose….. Civilisations
Awesome!
I’m excited in reading “Civilizations”!!
WANTTT! I’m interested in Civilizations.
After reading your review I am very very interested in reading all of them (being an independent MUA), but I’d gave to say I am most interested in reading civilisations.
Omg so exciting!! ‘Civilisations’ is definitely something I’d love to read up on!
I’m really interested in the Foundation part of this series! I want to learn more about how everything started and how Beauty took off and became something that everyone sees everyday
I’m definetly interested in Globalisation!
I’m definitely most interested in reading, sleeping and probably eating the part about Civilisations
Definitely Foundations. The origin of modern day things are always fascinating.
Love this! I would love to read all of this, but Civilisations would intrigue me the most.
Projections, definitely!!
Although it’s neat to look back and look at past trends, influences, originas and how beauty was constructed in various societies, I’m interested in seeing where things will grow, and where they’ll go.
Beauty is a relection of the culture that birthed it and the cultural and social influences of its time. It’s intriguing to hypothesize how our current political, economic, ecological interests will play out in the beauty-sphere.
interested in projections!
civilisations seems interesting to me!
Oh, what a great giveaway! I would love to read Globalisation.
I’m pretty interested in Confrontations =)
i noticed the book titles have changed since your original review. Do you know why that is?
Globalisation!!!
I would most definitely want to read the whole series, but if I had to choose: Globalization.
Civilization 100%
