My Review Philosophy: This beauty, fashion and cosmetics review column is called "What Works" (not what doesn't). I want to direct you to what I think are great products, not denigrate those I didn't like (but you might love).  All beauty reviews are subjective. It's my responsibility to describe products in a way that offers information, but allows you to use your own, good judgment about whether to buy it or not. I have tested thousands of products, which gives me a strong background on which to base my comments, but the decision to try something is yours, alone.

A Signature Approach:  Many online publications and blogs find it easier and economical to just post photos and press releases of products "as if" they have actually used them. I will never write about products or events unless I have experienced it.   I believe "faux" reviews simply add to the junk and clutter on the Internet, without offering anything substantive or new.  I also do not accept advertorial content (promotional content for money). This is only part of what  distinguishes The Advice Sisters from others. I  know you appreciate the difference.
