    I have read this as "cover to cover" as one could! I have used and still use many brands, so I read the entire section on those which interested me. I also highlighted the "best" of this or that...

    I don't think the reviews are really objective. She disses lots of things that work for alot of people claiming that the science behind it isn't sound. What she promotes usually doesn't work for me...

    I really like this. I have to admit something though...I think it is way too expensive to have when I can just make a list of products I'm interested and take them to the bookstore with me and look...

    shame the 6th ed. is her last. probably tired of everyone giving her crap about being "impartial." it probably is difficult to give fair time to other brands, good or not, but it makes all the...

    I use this as a reference book when I want to buy something, but I don't completely rely on Paula's opinions. It seems to me that she doesn't really try all the products she reviews, but instead...

    Through past purchases of Paula B's books I've learned a few things: 1) she's very petty 2) she doesn't actually try the products she's reviewing (WHICH IS A MUST) 3) because of #2, I get burned...

    While I don't always agree with Paula and her tendency to diss anything non-matte annoys me, I've learned quite a bit from her. My best friend and I have lugged this book (aka "the bible") with us...

    This book is such a great reference~its so hard to put down. Although Paula & I differ on some products, I think she gives a pretty fair analysis.

    Paula gives great advice on ingredients, skincare, and other beauty aspects. I find that most of her positive reviews are warranted. I don't always agree with her negative reviews though. She...

    I was not too impressed with this book, so it's going back. Her ratings in this book seem to be more negative than in her previous books. She does state that this will be her last book, but that...

    It should be noted that while she has her own line in the book, she always reccomends more expensive and less expensvie products too. Now with this book I can put together an effective...
