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
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.
从N年以前买过英文版的第6版后,每次买化妆品前就查一下这本书。 帮我拔掉了不少草。最主要的是根据宝拉推荐买来的东西又好用又便宜, 而且还帮助我治好了多年的痘痘。看到最新版的中文版DG 感到好亲切 :) 推荐!推荐!
评分这本书写的很不错很值得借鉴。但是,问题的关键是,这本书太老了,日化品更新的速度太快,没等她的书出来,早已物是人非。只能说参考。了解大概。作用不太大,东西还是要自己试过才能相信是否好坏。
评分 评分之前是看徐老师种草了这本书,前两天去柜台疯狂买买买之后又想起来要看。不说成分党是不是完全靠谱吧,但是想想那些天花乱坠的广告来自这个山那个海里的Xxx,就觉得嗯是要清醒一点会比较好啊。 这本关于欧美护肤品的分类这些都挺详细的了,虽然更新有点慢,但是整体很不错。Aga...
评分这书豆瓣上只有两个点评 但在业界和geek都是大家学习的教科书额 花了一两个月的时间断续又持续着消化掉了这本书 没有什么目的 但确实是给自己的多年来看待化妆品护肤品的概念刷新了一遍 且彻底成为成分派 在阅读产品线评测的之前 我认真看了正确护肤的原则 标准 同时还阅读了一...
