Cecil Beaton's scarce first book. The Book of Beauty is Beaton's unashamed paean to the beauty of the women who inhabit his world. The book is inspired by books of beauty published in the Victorian period and by his childhood fascination with the theatricality and glamour of the opposite sex. Photographs of women are accompanied by flowery descriptions. Sitters include Baba and Nancy Beaton, Edith Sitwell, Tallulah Bankhead, Tilly Losch, Nancy Cunard and Lady Diana Cooper. The whole captures the wit, intelligence and spirit of the modern women.

The Book of Beauty is a 1930 book by Cecil Beaton, his first published book of photographs. In his concept of beauty, Beaton, with sketches and photographs, highlights actresses such as Tallulah Bankhead and Anna May Wong but also modernist literary figures like Edith Sitwell and Nancy Cunard.

What I needed!
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
My skin it very sensitive and dry which makes finding a good soap difficult. I'm also not able to use exfoliating products as it is painful and/or damages my skin but a wash cloth isn't enough. This soap is great in that there are very few ingredients and they are all natural so no skin reactions. It is actually soothing. The whole oatmeal in it exfoliates but also softens so no pain or skin damage. Definitely plan to continue ordering this product.

A miracle for those with eczema.
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
I recently bought the Goat's milk soap with oatmeal and honey. Let me just say that I LOVE this soap. For YEARS I have been trying all kinds of naturally derived soaps in search of a keeper, and I finally found it. A big thank you to The Soap Haven. I have been dealing with dishydrotic eczema on my hands and fingers for about five years now, and finding products that don't trigger outbreaks can be like playing with fire. I have found soaps that do just that, and I have find soaps that are mild enough not to do that, but I have never before used a soap that actually soothes my skin. This soap does that,it SOOTHES. Every time I use this soap, my eczema is almost healed and I am not exaggerating. I have had awful break outs, and after a few minutes of lathering with this soap, the itching goes away entirely, the redness subsides, swelling goes down and it has consistently been this way. Also, this soap leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable - Not oily, not dry or tight, just really comfortable. Anyways, I am just so impressed and thankful, this soap is miraculous. Please don't discontinue or change this formula. You have a customer for life. Oh, and another plus, I live in Oregon, so I am proud to be giving my business to a business like this one. P.S. I read a lot of reviews that gave one star for the smell, or said it's not unscented, well it is fragrance free, the only thing that you can smell is the combination of honey, goatsmilk, and oats-and that is good! It is evidence that this is all natural soap with the ingredients it claims to have with no fragrance added for appeal. Now, in my opinion, this comes with the territory, if you want something that smells like a perfumery, then go with the synthetic stuff, but if you want all-natural, free of essential oils and parfum, then embrace the less popular smells of nature.

Nice moisturizing soap, expensive
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
I have been using this soap for about a year. I like the skin calming and anti-itch properties of oatmeal, the soap doesn’t dry my skin, and there’s no scent, I also find it fairly long-lasting—once a sliver gets too small to use in the shower it goes into a soap dish by the bathroom sink and I wash my hands with it. Even a dime-sized piece will lather nicely. One star removed because I think this soap is more expensive than it needs to be.

Excellent Oatmeal Soao
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
Very nice soap. True whole oatmeal soap, not crumbs, but chunks. Like someone else mentioned, they were sent in a shipping bag, but mine came undamaged. Besides… it’s freaking soap! Worth buying for exfoliating.
