What Cosmetic Ingredients Should You Buy and Not Buy?

I believe smart cosmetic shopper is those who do not look at the brand name but the ingredients. There so so many famous brands advertised in magazine and yes there are product that are good, but there are also better products that is not noticed.

Good and better products is determined by their effect, and of course, ingredients. Many girls just look at the brand name or uses product that have been aired in Beauty Channels or cosmetic used by celebrities.

I'm not saying that it's bad, but it's better to see what ingredients you should get for your type of skin. 

**Please remember that it's better to determined whether the ingredients is bad or good by the amount, usually the end of the list of ingredients means they used less and front of the list means they used that ingredient the most**
