Description
In a world where beauty magazines promote 14-year-old models with poreless skin, impossibly long lashes, and dewy lips pouting over sparkling teeth, Paula Begoun is every woman's best friend. Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me has sold over 700,000 copies since first published because it's honest and because it helps women find products that make them look great without spending a fortune. From drugstores and home shopping to department stores and catalogues, Begoun reviews all of the major cosmetic and skin-care lines, product by product (more than 10,000 products, in all). Regardless of the price tags, there are good and bad products in almost every line. With the turn of a page, readers can get concise reviews and fast answers in this completely revised and expanded edition. A user-friendly rating system lists several Canadian lines found on both sides of the border (Lush, M.A.C., Club Monaco) and two (Vichy and Marcelle) found only in Canada.
