Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Book, Very informative, Great reference resource
I don't usually write reviews, but this book is really great. Much time and research went into this gem and the information can help consumers to make smart choices. Helps identify what's good for your individual skin type. I keep referring back to the book over and over. Now I'm going to buy her book about hair care.
Rating: - As Good As It Gets
For two decades Paula Begoun has called cosmetics companies on their sensational claims while emphasizing that a ton of bad apples do not spoil the whole bunch in terms of skincare and cosmetics.
In the 8th edition of her cosmetic opus Begoun's catalog of bad and beautiful products is expanded once more. Although her reviews are not always perfect, she is human after all and she makes it clear that her reviews are her opinions after culling current research, overall Begoun's work is ... Read More
Rating: - Great for Beauty Junkies like me
This is a supremely interesting read for anyone who tends to buy and try TONS of makeup and skincare products. I have not been able to put it down since I got it in the mail. For 90% of the products in the book that I've tried myself, I agree with what she's written.

I liked reading about the ingredients in cosmetic ... Read More

Three days ago, my husband said to me in the car, "do you know you spent $1000 at Sephora in April? It's right on the Visa card."
Yes, that was in April. But in June, I got my first ever copy of Paula's book and it changed everything.
I had been using Chanel Sublimage eye cream at $175. Now I don't use eye cream at all. I had been using Christian Diors Capture R60/80 XP Ultimate Series, serum, lotion and cream, spending in total about $700. Turns out I have oily skin and that line ... Read More
Rating: - Very Useful Book, But it isn't THE Cosmetic Bible -- Because there isn't one
A very helpful guide to beauty products, but not an oracle to be followed religiously. Use this book, with its recommendations and warnings, as you intelligently choose products and form your own conclusions on what works well for you.
This is an exhaustive compendium of products, ingredient lists and the author's opinions on both. All based on cited scientific literature published in professional journals -- not beauty mags. Begoun is NOT a scientist, which some readers just can't forgive her ... Read More
