"Don't Go To The Cosmetic Counter Without Me 8th Edition"

I just received this book for my birthday from my friend Rozi.  It was written by Paula Begoun who also refers to herself as The Cosmetics Cop.  This book is a wealth of knowledge for beauty products.  I call it the beauty Bible.  It compares products and gives you each products strengths and weaknesses.  This book has an A-Z index of almost any product you can think of... well almost every product.  The book is as up to date as it can be adding and removing products that are new or no longer relevant.   I highly recommend this book to everyone.  You will be surprised at what you will find out.  I didn't realize how many of the big companies are connected to each other.  This will definitely open your eyes about buying certain name brands when you see what companies are actually affiliated.  This book also educates you on how to read ingredients and not get sucked into misleading labels.  I haven't read the entire book yet... as it is the size of a bible...BUT I am so far impressed with its detailed descriptions and reviews.

Divas 2 Cents:  Some parts of the book are biased so you should take some of what you read with a grain of salt.  Afterall, not everyone has the same skin or reaction to a product, so for some of the reviews you should use your own judgement.

***The picture I posted is of a different edition.  I own the 8th Edition which I believe is the most recent one.
