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.
When women seek reliable information about the relative value and performance of specific beauty products, they consult Paula Begoun. From drug stores and home shopping to department stores and catalogs, Paula Begoun reviews all of the major cosmetic and skin care lines — more than 25,000 including 75 new product lines in this edition. The comprehensive beauty bible from “the Ralph Nader of Rouge” — The Detroit News “Paula is nationally recognized ... She takes the cosmetics companies to task for their puffed-up claims and misleading information.” — The Miami Herald
多年前,我遇到了一本神奇的书,它颠覆了我对化妆品的认识,也颠覆了我的梳妆台,它就是“化妆品警察”宝拉·培冈的《带着我去化妆品柜台》。我应该是中国最早的受益者之一。与所有年轻女孩一样,我对化妆品世界充满了好奇,对每一款广告中的“神奇”产品都跃跃欲试。也...
评分 评分 评分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。
