Customer Reviews

Product Rating:   (12 reviews) Book + Beautypedia will be Perfect
I ripped open my 1/2/08 delivery of the 7th Edition of Paula's Cosmetics Counter book and read through it voraciously! The positives are the excellent Chapter describing how moisturizer components work and what products and applicatios are needed for various complexion issues. And of course I was thrilled with the up-to-date reviews and picks.
—Kimberly

Don't go to the Cosmetic Counter Without Me
I have been following your work for 6 years now, and have read your books on skin and hair products like the most interesting novels! WOW! The 7th edition blew me away! I just got it, and it is your best Cosmetic Counter book so far! I loved it! It is helpful, educational, and saves you a lot of money! And, Paula, you are so funny! Thank you from all of my girlfriends I got "hooked" on your books and products!
—Maja Stouffer

Brava
I've been anxiously awaiting this book, and true to form, it does not disappoint. The 7th edition is better than ever! Lots of new information and reviews, plus Paula's hilarious humor. Reading this is not only informative, it will save you $$$, help you make better beauty choices and entertain you all at the same time. I just got this yesterday and couldn't put it down until way after 1:00 am in the morning! Paula, you go girl!
—Alexandra Mironov

Finally
I was SO excited when I heard about the 7th edition!! Couldn't wait to order it. As always, the details and reviews are helpful and thorough. Thank you Paula for all you do!
—Beth

Note from Paula's Choice Customer Care
The final size of the book before we made cuts was over 1,800 pages so we needed to make some cuts. Still, all of the major QVC and HSN brands are in the book but we had to cut some of the smaller brands - you CAN find those at Beautypedia.com.
—Paula's Choice Customer Care

Fantastic!
This book is phenomenal! It is easy to read and find what you're looking for, detailed and comprehensive. It has become my bible and I pick it up every time I need to buy something, before I go to the cosmetic counter, of course! Well done!
—Manon

missing
Good reference but last edition was more inclusive of more brands. This edition is missing reviews from many of the companies on QVC and HSN.
—Courtney Horton

The best skincare products guide
I love this book, which is perfect with Beautypedia. But I miss some so important brands like Helena Rubinstein, Kanebo and Lancaster, which are among biggest and most important cosmetic brands around world.
—David

Don't Go...7th edition
You can continue to write these year after year as the cosmetic companies keep changing the names of products, trying to dupe us over and over again. Thank you for your wonderful work! Can't put the book down! My teen aged daughter and I fight over who gets the book! Had to buy her another copy!
—Kerry

book
This is a great book. It allows you to choose products designed for your particular needs, in a price range you choose. It gives all the information needed to be informed and get through the hype. It helped me to build a routine around products I feel confident in. Highly recommend.
—suzanne

Good book, older editions better.
Waited impatiently for new edition to find Biotherm, Vichy, Yves Rocher, Annabelle, Mark (by Avon), etc. not included. I should have bought an older, more inclusive edition. Customer Care: We attempted to include as many popular lines in the latest book as possible. Biotherm, Vichy, and Mark by Avon are some of the additional lines reviewed on our Beautypedia Web site. Annabelle is a line we're rarely asked about. Unfortunately, including every cosmetic line available would not only be an impossible task but would also make for a book that is several thousand pages long (and who wants to take THAT to the cosmetics counter?).
—Tami

Book
Paula's books and reviews have saved me a lot of money! No longer do I believe all the hype from cosmetics companies. Thank you Paula!!!!
