    Paula's skepticism and anger towards cosmetics companies who sell hope in a jar (yes, I know it's an actual product) is warranted. Yes, she can come across as negative sometimes. No, she doesn't...

    Whatever you say about Paula, this is an invaluable resource. Yes, she has her own opinions that you may or may not agree with (i.e. sparkly make-up, blue eye-shadow, etc., etc.) but the majority...

    Makes quite an informative read. It provides a comprehensive view of most of the products out there on the market. It's scary how things that I thought were actually beneficial for your skin...

    While I don't agree with all of her opinions (she rates many of my HG items badly), I still think this is an excellent read.

    I've bought Paula Begoun's books from the very 1st edition, and have bought each subsequent one. I rely on them a little less now (her opinions don't really change my mind if I like a product - but...

    I've just "discovered" Paula. For the most part I think she's doing a great service. I do find that her reviews get a bit repetetive, however, and are awfully negative. Sure, there's a lot to...

    I think everyone should have a copy of this book if you're buying beauty products. I can't even begin to tell you how much this book changed the way I spend my money. Certainly, there will be...

    Well,when I chanced upon her 5th edition, it changed my life. I was one of those people that believed in all the advertising, and kept buying everything under the sun in hopes of that miracle...

    This is even larger than the 5th edition. Definitely not a "carry around" book. There's a lot of new information and new brands. However, information on brands she had reviewed in her previous book...

    I have enormous respect for Paula and I was so sad to read that this will be her last Cosmetics Counter book. I can't understand the hostility some people have towards her. I work in the cosmetics...

    Though I don't share Paula's opinions about makeup, I like to have her books on hand for reference about products. It's actually a good resource to have, but only if you keep in mind that her...

    If you have the 5th edition, wait to get this one from the library, there is a lot of redundancy. I find Paula's books to be informative and helpful. Though she can be obnoxious at times, she is...

    I've already pre-ordered my copy of the book from Amazon (shipped yesterday). I borrowed the 5th edition from the library and really enjoyed it. It was eye opening to read about each...
