"Don't go to the cosmetics counter without me!" book (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Has anyone else read this book? I've flipped through it a few times and have been utterly amazed at how cruddy a lot of beauty products there are on the market. However - after flipping through it again today, I noticed that it basically disses 90% of all the products and brands (skincare only) that I know...!!! Estee Lauder, Clinique, Jurlique, Ole Henrikson...all "bad" in some way, apparently. What's a girl supposed to do? Ignore the book and risk wasting money, or go to the phenomenal amount of effort required to find the "good" products?

Additionally, just because she doesn't like the product doesn't mean that I won't by default, right?

There is a lot of truth in what she has to say but what may look good on paper and what should work in theory, may not satisfy everyone's skin type. Take her advice with a grain of salt, I say. Trial and error is the best way.

I actually happen to love Jurlique but hate her line (Paula's Choice) so there you go.
