    When it comes to cosmetics, there are counters filled in just about every store one goes into. This book gives you reasons why some cosmetic brands are better than others, why some are useless,(writer feels any face cream beyond your basic is just a waste of money),why some cosmetics are a total waste of money.
    Ms Paula Begoun the writer, has a no bones about it attitude about all cosmetics.
    You can like her or dislike her but she knows all there is know about cosmetics.
    This book has been updated just about every year and just gets more pages added to it as more cosmetics come up. There is a lipstick you want to know about it, or
    the brand if its safe or not, then you need to dig deep into this book. For the
    money, its well worth it and you will learn all you will ever want to know about
    the field of cosmetics, Enjoy!
