The book is an absolute money saver through its thorough ratings of the best cosmetics and skin care products in North America. Her reviews on skincare products actually allows you to also 'save face', pardon the pun. By providing consumers with the ingredient lists in these products, one is able to avoid allergic reactions. It's wonderful and reassuring to know that one needn't spend an outrageous amount of money to look their best when pharmacy-sold makeup lines like Revlon or Loreal can produce the same effect as designer lines. Why pay more when you don't have to? I strongly urge every woman to pick up a copy of this amazing book before even purchasing their next batch of makeup supplies.
