Hey, thanks  . I searched under the website and found nothing. Didnt think to search under her name - forgot she had also put books out!ell, she seems quite controversial, certainly not to be taken as gospel, I guess. |

I don't believe all she says but she does have a few good ideas. She is in Australia at the moment and was interviewed on radio. She was talking about a new product in Australia that is around $3500 for 1oz, didn't name the product but was not very complimentary about its lack of active ingredients and the fact that the company that produced this product also has several other products all stating they remove wrinkles. Her point was that if their $100 removed wrinkles, why pay $3500. She was also quite emphatic that if you stayed out of the sun from the day you were born, you would not have wrinkles and she probably has a point there.
I think her website is worth a look but don't believe everything she says. |

| I find the list ("dictionary") of cosmetic ingredients on this website quite useful to help me read labels and work out the contents of a product. |

I have all of Paula's books and even though I go to them for her opinion I have realized that for every positive thing she says about a product there is always a negative right along with it.
I think she is just out to sell her own line and does this successfully by slamming other lines.
IMO her line of skincare and cosmetics is really no different than the hundreds out there that are sold at the same price point! |

since discovering her website, i too have been looking at the ingredients dictionary whenever i buy a product.
iv yet to fully read her articles, but have skimmed thru some of them. what she says seems to make sense
theres nothing wrong with launching her own line as long as she doesnt just slam other prodcuts and HIGHLY rec her own ones...but sometimes she does that. well, if her products do work 100% then theres no probs, but thats not the case tho cos not ALL of her products work. however, they are reasonably priced and the CS is friendly and efficient
i dont take all her advice tho. i think she said that u dont need an eye cream? but when i dont put eye cream on, my eyes feel different (dry, tired, MORE puffy) |

| Reliable and knowledgeable. I've been a fan since she began her mission to bring solid beauty consumerism to the public over 20 years ago. |

| Take it with a pinch of salt. Some information she provided has helped me in becoming discerning in the skincare, cosmetics world but sometimes i think she's just trying to sell her own line. |
