Amazon.com Review
Women spend an extraordinary amount of money on cosmetics--$45 billion a year in the U.S. alone. Now in its fourth edition, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me strikes fear in cosmetics-counter consultants everywhere. First off, Begoun has deconstructed ingredient lists. Ever wonder what methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben are doing in your mascara? And what is diazolidinyl urea? All four are potential irritants, and the latter is a preservative that can release formaldehyde, a class A carcinogen. Buyer beware.
Begoun also lists which companies are cruelty-free and which continue to conduct animal testing. The majority of the book--and that's nearly 800 pages--is devoted to reviews of thousands of cosmetics, from cleansers, foundations, alpha-hydroxy acids, and moisturizers to lip liners, eye shadows, and concealers, all of which Begoun has personally tested. (There are no hair care products listed, as that warrants another book entirely: Don't Go Shopping for Hair Care Products Without Me.)
She's perfectly frank and tells it like it is. (On Revlon's ColorStay Makeup: "goes far beyond the claim of 'It won't come off on him.' It won't come off when you want it to.") You'll learn how to tell when you're being boondoggled by a salesperson, what's overpriced and overhyped, as well as what's overlooked. More than 200 brands are included, along with a helpful summary at the end that lists the best products for each cosmetic category. It should be noted that not only is Begoun a fine consumer advocate, she's also a self-esteem advocate: she mentions time and again that even the best cosmetics won't necessarily improve your life, and that's a point well taken. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

如今的过节就等于花钱。 三八节就是女人们购物的充足的理由。商场内一眼望去几乎都是女人,统统在据称是打折的的摊位前伫足。 女人到商场的感觉和男人到赌场的感觉很相似,都象被施了魔法,丧失了理智。 女人爱购物,女人爱占小便宜,女人相信青春永住,只要抓住这三点,就会生...
评分 评分賣紙! 非常的主觀。 作者具有相當的專業知識,但表述出來的東西,來來去去就那幾條理論,仿佛洗腦一樣,看多幾遍覺得沒意思。 被點評的品牌是怎樣挑選出來的沒有說,不知以怎樣的範疇去篩選。如果說,是比較偏向歐美的品牌,也還是很多眾所周知的大品牌中...

评分对于大部分的欧美系护肤品和彩妆基本有概况,单从成分上评论还是比较客观,但对于日系和韩系的护肤品和彩妆评论较少,而且对于日系护肤品评价较低,但是对于宝拉自己的产品几乎一致性力推,有种此地无银三百两的感觉。
