    Okay, I did read most of this at Borders. In my defense I did purchase and read Paula's previous editions.I think she offers some great advice - she helped my occasional frizzy hair problem by...

    When I first bought this book I loved it. Now...although I still find the information interesting and sometimes helpful, I find I disagree with her on several issues. I think that this book just...

    don't like this, she's hypercritical and i would ABSOLUTELY NOT base any of my purchases on her judgment calls. besides. .....she doesn't like urban decay.

    After reading this edition, I finally decided to try Paula's products. The only change I would recommend is to have recommendations (at the back of the book) by price range not just category. I...

    Paula poured amazing effort on her work, that's for sure. The reason why I gave only 3 lippies is I can't endure her "do this, don't do this" rules. I love makeup and don't want to be afraid of...

    Ok, so I never actually *bought* Paula's book, but I've practically read the whole thing while browsing in bookstores. Maybe it's just me, but I just can't join the Paula lovefest on this one. My...

    If you're reading this (or any MUA) review, you should have Paula's book. She has a no-nonsense, unapologetic approach to what she does, and though I don't always agree with her reviews, I respect...

    This book is ok. There are many reviews, so many that the book is so large it is hard to hold. Her reviews are well researched. The only thing I didn't like was that she did not like a product if...

    Stellar book! Honestly, I think this is a revolutionary book, because Paula exposes the often mystical and rose colored only makeup world. The companies try to make their products all hyped up, but...

    In general, I like Paula's books and have bought a couple different revisions. But I have a problem with her reviews. She doesn't seem to like ANYTHING. She hasn't liked a single face wash I use...
