2008 CEW Beauty Awards

I am mega late on this this year, but I didn’t want too much more time to go by without talking about the 2008 CEW Beauty Awards winners.  These are chosen by executives in the beauty business – editors, owners and every other type of professional you can think of in the biz.  You can be guaranteed that these products are going to be the tops in their categories – and definitely worth a try.  Mass means you can buy the products (mass market) in the drugstores, prestige means that they are available at specialty/department stores and well, they cost more.  Prestigious, you know.
