The Cosmetic Executive Women’s annual awards bash is nothing short of the “Beauty Oscars.”
Forget the gowns, we want to know the best creams and lotions and potions that won the coveted CEW crowns.
The 17th annual show was held recently in New York. Nearly 600 entries covered 26 categories, including cosmetics and hair and skin care.
The judges are beauty professionals whose mission is to let consumers know which products they deem worthy of your beauty bucks.
