I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that the list is out! No, we’re not talking about the 2010 Oscar nominations, but the finalists of the CEW Awards.
Since these awards are more coveted than Angelina’s pout, we’re as excited as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are about their new baby. Check out the finalists HERE.
And since we love to make predictions (no, we’re not telling you when this recession will end, thank you), we’ve picked our “fantasy winner” for a few categories. We’re not merely guessing, we LOVE these products.
BATH AND BODY: Body Treatment Mass
Our pick to win: Dove – Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion
Have you tried this lotion? ‘Nuff said. I needed just one application (typically in the Winter, I use two coats of body lotion).
BATH AND BODY: Body Treatment Prestige
Our pick to win: Ojon – Tawaka™ “The Ball”
Ingenious and innovative, this “Ball” lasts longer than the Everlasting Gobstopper and is a permanent stay in my tub. We reviewed it earlier here:
FACIAL SKINCARE: Acne Treatment
Our Pick to Win: Avon Products, Inc. – Clearskin Professional Acne Treatment System
This is a tough category to predict because there are so many great products, including Neutrogena’s Rapid Clear Fight & Fade Gel that I happen to love. But my allegiance is towards Avon’s brilliant Clearskin Professional System that happens to have lessened my breakouts by over 80% since I started using it.
FACIAL SKINCARE: Anti-Aging Mass
Our Pick to Win: Olay – Regenerist 14 Day Skin Intervention
This product has garnered more fans than American Idol and every person I know respects the “Regenerist” name. Bravo Olay!
FACIAL SKINCARE: Anti-Aging Prestige
Our Pick to Win: Clinique – Even Better Skin Tone Corrector
Unneven skin is a pestilential problem, and almost as bad as having hives. Well, I exaggerate of course, but Clinique did wonders for me with their “Even Better” Skin Tone Corrector.
FACIAL SKINCARE: Eye Treatment Mass
Our Pick to Win: Garnier Nutritioniste – Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller
I think the judges will just give this the award because it’s so cute and cool. Seriously. Oh, and it does the job!
FACIAL SKINCARE: Eye Treatment Prestige
Our Pick to Win: Wexler – Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology Intensive 3-in-1 Eye Cream: Lifting, Firming, Anti-Wrinkle Formula
These days, it’s all about multitasking, and you need a product that does EVERYTHING from your laundry to paying the bills. Wexler’s product comes very darn close.
HAIR: Hair Care, Style & Coloring Prestige
Our Pick to win: Sebastian Professional – Whipped Crème
Lighter than cappuccino foam and malleable as liquid gold. Hair loves it.
Our Pick to Win: Parfums Givenchy – Phenomen’eyes High-Precision Mascara
Because it does what it’s name says it does. And the spiky wand is bad ass.
Our Pick to Win: NIVEA Lip Care – A Kiss of Shine Red Glossy Lip Care
As our good friend Daneen from Spoiled Pretty testifies, this lip gloss rocks it because it’s so shiny and emollient. Lurve!
SCENT: Women’s Scent Prestige
Our Pick to Win: Harajuku Lovers Fragrances – “G”
Sultry, tempting and totally unusual, this scent and bottle is a collector’s item.
