glamglow is irritating to the skin and overpriced. excerpt from beautypedia: "Despite the hype, GlamGlow does not have exceptional, or even mediocre, products worth considering.

here's what beautypedia says about la mer eye concentrate: "The Eye Concentrate contains some incredibly helpful, state-of-the-art ingredients for creating and maintaining healthy skin. What a shame so many of them are subject to reduced potency because of jar packaging! Moreover, how depressing that La Mer included a troubling amount of eucalyptus oil, which only serves to irritate skin. Without that and in better packaging, this really would have been an “ultraluxe eye treatment.”

glossier balm dot com is most just petroleum jelly in cute packaging.

I take good care of my skin and use effective products (not all natural, but definitely NONTOXIC) and I don't waste money on makeup to cover the skin. people get into a vicious cycle of layering crap onto their skin in the name of "skin care" and then covering it with makeup, which just perpetuates the problem.

I'm not sure why everyone would listen to someone who claims to be a publicist and take her word as gospel. She's not trained in skin care or beauty-- I'd rather take advice from a dermatologist, aesthetician, or makeup artist. Not impressed by bragging about an enormous collection of manolos, an insane collection of expensive sneakers, or heirloom hermes bags.

Yet you extensively quote from a website run by a woman who uses it as a vehicle to publicize her own products, and you apparently take her word as gospel.

It's true that beautypedia is run by paula begoun, who does have her own line of products that obviously get high ratings on her site. I actually don't use any of her products, but the products that I do use get high ratings on her site. I trust beautypedia because the products are evaluated by beauty and skincare experts. I'm not a car mechanic, wouldn't tell anyone how to fix their car.

The products she recommended were expensive and caused my skin to break out. Never again.

What products did you try? Paula's Choice brand or something else?

We get it - you are "all natural"...aka you don't want to be bothered taking care of yourself and investing in your appearance. Somehow you think this makes you special and above it all. Knock yourself out, but knocking down others about what they like just makes you sound envious and cheap (even if that's not what was intended).

I'm a 45 yo professional woman and I think it's absolutely interesting to hear what other women do and find value in for themselves - even if I don't feel the need to try it all. I can't for the life of me understand all the whiny posts about how expensive some things used by others are - why do you care. Get your stuff at CVS if that floats your boat.

The thread was clearly started for people to share what they each like. If you don't have anything nice to say, zip it.

I'm the first poster that was critical of "publicist PP"'s recommendations in this thread, and I am 27 and absolutely invest in my appearance. Nontoxic is different than all natural

Again, instead of being a preachy bore, why not just dazzle us with your own list of products that you use and love.
