Beauty Marketing Bull Shit
Here’s a nice article by Paul Begoun that highlights some “good bang for your buck” beauty products in 2008.
Several years ago I read Paula book, “Don’t go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me”, and I’ve used several of her suggested and branded products since. I like how she debunks many of the $200 beauty-cream-type products, and is against all the marketing crap the beauty industry throws at us. She has a scientific and economic approach to beauty you don’t see much.
Having worked somewhat closely with one of the world’s largest beauty companies at my previous job, I can tell you that yes, they have some good products, but most of it is marketing and you can find many of the same products at a cheaper price with a little research. I’ve always known this, but didn’t want to do the research myself, so Paula does it for you. (No, I’m not getting paid to write this post!)
