As a person who is always searching for the most amazing beauty products, I am always digging through reviews, magazines, and more. I am always looking for products at the store that have the little “customer choice” stickers and I always want to know what the celebrities are using! Of course my ears would be perked at the sight of the CEW Beauty Insiders’ Choice Beauty Awards, the ONLY award voted on by industry experts. They spotlight the most innovative products of the year, and its list of 210 finalists makes shopping easy!
I wanted to share with you three of my favorite CEW Beauty Insiders’ Choice Award winners from this year, Dior Addict It-Lash Volumizing Mascara, Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil, and Aerin Waterlily Sun perfume.
I am a die-hard lover of all things Dior, and specifically their mascara. Every special event I’ve had in my life I’ve worn Diorshow mascara to. Any special events in college, any time we’ve had pictures taken of our family, and to my wedding. It’s like my secret weapon.
Addict It-Lash is not quite the same, it doesn’t have the huge toothbrush-like wand. The formula is meant to volumize, lengthen, and have a vibrant black color to it. It’s easy to layer and makes my lashes look super full! I really love the effect I get from this. No clumps, and it’s super easy to wash off with a cleansing oil. And speaking of which, another beauty award winner…
Ever since I’ve discovered cleaning oil, my skin has never been the same. I used to go through tons of cotton balls and makeup remover every night. In the last year or so, I’ve been using cleansing oil at night to remove my makeup and following that up with another cleanser. Every morning, I refresh my skin by using cleansing oil before makeup.
The Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil is lightweight and takes off every trace of my makeup, even the waterproof stuff. It’s really gentle and hydrating too. I love using it by itself or to double cleanse. It’s not hard to see why this is winning all the awards! I also love that it comes with a clip under the nozzle so I could pack it to go with me somewhere and it wouldn’t spill everywhere.
I am obsessed with fragrance, and always love to be wearing something unique that not everybody else has. Aerin’s Waterlily Sun fragrance is a special scent that would make a lovely signature scent. With notes of sicilian bergamot and jasmine sambac, it’s floral and watery while still being lightweight. This is such a beautiful scent and I feel so feminine when I wear it. I love that it is refreshing while still having a certain warmth about it. Also, I LOVE the packaging.
The bottle itself is simplistic and minimalist and so elegant, and then you have the cap, which is this gorgeous green gemstone. It is worth every penny for the fragrance and the prestige packaging. I really do feel so fancy when I’m wearing this!
Because I love these three products so much, I thought I’d give all three away to one lucky winner! If you are over 18 and in the US only, please enter to win! I’d also like to share the other awards finalists with you. I listed them below. I’ve tried and loved a bunch of these products. I find it interesting that so many of the products are trending based on what is really “in” right now in beauty and skincare- contouring, oils, anti-aging stuff, etc. Keep on scrolling to get to the giveaway!
