i have been reading Begoun's books and her website for years. They have saved me lots of money from buying useless and/or expensive products. The only problem was that the book was so big it is impractical to bring to the store. Now it's on Kindle which is perfect.
It's a nice guide to have, but don't take it "by the book", since you will find that too often you don't share her opinion. She claims to rate every product based on what the product promises, but gives EVERY single pencil that needs sharpening a bad or neutral rating. I mean, it's a pencil, what was she expecting? the pencil is delivering what it promises, even though it needs sharpening! they didn't say it wouldn't need sharpening. The cosmetics rating are also subjective, so be careful. You might hate a certain mascara, and yet, Paula loves it. And viceversa. So, if you are a makeup junkie, get this book, it will give you a general idea of products, especially when it comes to ingredients. Just make sure you form your own opinion!

Paula's books are a must for anyone who spends more than $100 a year on skin care and cosmetics!
This book is one of the smartest advertisements I've ever seen. Paula rips apart every skincare product (even the products that get an 'approval' from her still have a "but" or "however" following their praise.) The only skincare line that gets her full backing and lavish review? Her own.
If you want reviews on a product, do your own homework. Look for reviews from people that don't have their own agenda. You can google most skincare ingredients and learn their pro's and con's.
As a person who has made her living as a 'cosmetic cop' for over twelve years, I wonder where she gets her information! She's just WRONG so often. Lavender is harmful for your skin??? SEAWEED is harmful for your skin???
So much of what she says in this book is just straight up wrong its ridiculous. I've trained with over 20 cosmetic lines and have been a trainer myself. I am all about researching ingredients to see what they do and see what effect they have on the skin. Ive spent hours of my own time doing this. Ugh. This book was garbage. Use what you think works for you. There's no way this woman went out and tried 30,000 products and even if she did, she doesn't have the same skin as you. Skin care and make up should be fun, and effective. Not based on some cracked out theories of some woman. Especially when they are almost all wrong. If something works for you - THEN USE IT. period.
