Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me

You don't need to read this book from cover to cover since it's packed with over 1000 pages of product mini reviews and it works as a fantastic reference guide for checking up on your favourite products, assessing potential purchases, and understanding how these products work. There is a substantial 78-page "introduction" including why we need to care more about the products we buy, what goes in them, and how that can affect us, along with skin care "<i>rules to live by</i>." The reviews are precise, upfront, and brutal; <i><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/281885.Don_t_Go_to_the_Cosmetics_Counter_Without_Me" target="new">Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me</a></i> can help you make confident shopping decisions based on professional advice and bare bones analysis of ingredient lists. This is a companion book to <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1559050.The_Beauty_Bible?from_search=true" target="new"><i>The Beauty Bible</i></a> so if you're looking for a book to help pick exactly which products to buy and which ones to avoid, rather than an intense break down of the entire beauty industry, this is the one you need to read.
