Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.
第一次看化妆品方面的书籍,书中是从原材料去分析化妆品的,把很多欧美大牌的化妆品品牌分析了一下,给我的感觉是大部分化妆品都是忽悠人的,哪怕是奢侈的香奈儿。作者一直推荐自己的品牌,让我觉得很虚假。看完这本书,我做了笔记,记下了化妆品的原材料,后来去商店购...
評分 評分 評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...
