How Smart Is Your Cosmetic Brain?

by Mid Brain on December 22, 2007 · 12 comments

Here’s an interesting cosmetic quiz put together by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It has 6 questions and regular readers of the Beauty Brains should be able to get all ofcosmetic quiz them right.

Take the quiz and post your score in the comments below.

And after you’ve taken the quiz, be sure to see the FDA’s collection of cosmetic information. Left Brain tells me it’s a much more “scientific” and less biased source of information than something like the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database.

I am proud to say that I, too, successfully completed the quiz and was declared “a smart cosmetic consumer.” Thanks, Brains! I owe it all to you!!!

P.S. Did anyone else start feeling the pressure not to miss any of the questions by the fourth one from the declaration that regulars BB readers should be able to get them all right? And then to add to the mounting anxiety, question six was not just one question!!!…LOL

I’m also a smart consumer.

Although, I must admit, I find it difficult to take a site that looks like it was designed by a 4-year-old seriously.

Well, I got one wrong…boo!

Yeah, you would think our federal government would put a little more effort into design.

Say, I learned something. I had thought that lasers *were* a safe, easy, and effective treatment for tattoos–which I loathe, by the way.
