    Dear Beauty Brains,
    I found these products through Sephora.com. They sound amazing, too good to be true.
    All the testimonials on Sephora's site seem to be positive, as are the ones of Juice Beauty's site. I know they can't possible be as fabulous as they sound.
    Can you guys do some research and tell me what effects these products really have on the skin, how effective they are, etc...?
    Thanks so much! -Stacy

    This is what Paula Begoun thinks the pros and cons are of this line.  Keep in mind PB does not like fragrance of any kind...so she can be tough on irritating ingredients.

       Strengths: They provide complete ingredient lists on their Web site; all of their facial sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection.

       Weaknesses: Expensive; ingredient lists do not reflect FDA standards (terms such as “organic botanical extracts” and “organic juices of” don’t make the regulatory cut); occasional use of jar or clear packaging diminishes the potency of light- and air-sensitive antioxidants; no products to successfully manage acne or skin discolorations; no reliable exfoliants; several products, including the facial sunscreens, contain juices, plant extracts, or fragrant oils that are known skin irritants.

    We've actually written about Juice Beauty products a couple of times.
    You can see what we've said in the following...
    Will Juice Beauty Moisturize or just squeeze your wallet?

    Basically, overpriced and not better than products you can get in your local Target.
    In general, testimonials are a terrible thing on which to base buying decisions. It is a simple matter for companies to go write whatever they want (usually positive) about their products.  
    Slight correction on PB.  The PCPC (formerly the CTFA) sets the standards on what names are supposed to be used for cosmetic ingredients.  Small companies like Juice Beauty can get away with it because no one is interested in challenging them and they are not technically doing anything illegal.
