The Bad
- Limited Makeup Line
- No Tips or Advice
- No Loyalty Programs
While Paula's Choice offers a wide selection of skincare products, the makeup line is very limited. For most items, such as mascara, customers are only given one kind to choose from. Customers who like to browse a large variety of options may be disappointed at having so few makeup products to choose from.
While there are tips and expert advice on the Paula's Choice website, the information is short and basic. The site doesn't feature forums or blogs that let community members get involved in the conversation. Customers who are looking for detailed advice or tips may not find enough information on Paula's Choice to satisfy them.
Paula's Choice does not offer any loyalty programs for customers to take advantage of rewards points or receive free samples. However, customers who sign up for the promotional email list will be able to redeem coupons and offers that are included in the emails.
