I found Paula 's book informative to an extent. However,I found some of her claims off balance. Not everything is bad and not everything is good to put it simply. Not everyone is the same,...

I think you have to take this book for what it's worth. I try to read this as objectively as possible and filter through Paula's opinions especially when THOSE don't always seem so objective. She...

First of all, I agree with everyone that Paula can sometimes get stuck in her rants. She forgets -- or chooses to ignore -- that cosmetics and glamour are hopelessly intertwined. We want that luxe...

I refer to this book and her monthly newsletter constantly. She is right on the mark as far as products that deliver and products that don't. I think everyone she own this book.

I think the problem a lot of people have with this book is that it is a bit of a downer- we like fancy packaging and miracle creams, so finding out that some of them have the same ingredients as...

This is a great book. Lots of good reviews and good information. It has more than paid for itself by preventing me from buying crap products. I refer to it a lot.

I really learned a lot from this book. Many people have complained about the book being all about Pauls'a opinions... well of course it is, it's her book and she states quite clearly that these are...

I think her book was very informative. Although you may not agree with some things she says, she looks at the actual ingredients that go into the products which makes a lot of sense. Why would...

I rated this book as dirt cheap because it can save you so much money! Her advice on skincare is great! Particularly worth reading is her advice on sunblock ingredients. I didn't know, for...

Amivins' review is dead on. My small two cents: Aside from Paula's book, Productiville, and a handful of other websites (which I haven't found to be as organized or have the depth of the first...

I used to buy this book, up through the 4th edition, but after enough years of reading Paula Begoun's opinionated and repetitious views on makeup, I know exactly what to expect from her books...

At most this book is entertaining, but not "reference" material for my purposes, therefore I checked this book out from my library and saved myself a load of cash. The reason why I didn't purchase...

Fundamentally useful and seemingly honest. Her descriptions of ingredients definitely jibe with information in other books and online. It could use better organization and an index, however.

Overall this is a useful book. Incredibly, Paula's advice about skincare was more helpful than a talking with a dermatologist. It cuts through the hype and points out potential irrantants. I...
