I recently downloaded the free version of the Better Beauty e-book, Better Beauty: The Cult.
According to the parent company of this e-book, Better:
Flip, flick, swipe and rotate – this is a first-of-its-kind interactive audio/visual reading experience proudly made in Singapore.
Currently only available on the iPad, this app impressed me with its writing quality and stylish interactive layout. It’s fairly easy to navigate and I especially appreciate the beauty stockist list that accompanies the app. (There’s always Google but having the list of addresses and numbers at my fingertips saves time.)
Part e-magazine, part beauty catalogue, the cult beauty theme of this first book revolves around beauty products and brands that have massive fan bases around the world.
The free version contains a handful of interesting articles about MAC Viva Glam, makeup gadgetry and vibrating mascaras, as well as MAC beauty looks. Clickable links and moving images set this e-book apart from the static words and visuals of conventional print media.
This e-book also contains other articles that can be unlocked with the purchase of this app (US$1.99 via iTunes/the Mac App Store). Among the topics covered are:
- Cult cosmetics that sell out before they hit the counters
- Cult skincare products like Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream and Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum
- The best-selling eyelash curlers in the world
- Eco-beauty
In addition, readers stand to win generous prizes from recognised beauty brands.
