A Makeup & Beauty Blog – Lipglossiping

Forget your usual beauty awards that announce crap like roll-on foundations as being the best thing since airbrushing or Maybelline’s ‘no lash’ (you know the one) as the greatest mascara since falsies were invented.

The CEW (UK) Awards are the real deal and deserve the respect they’re granted within the industry.

Predictably, I’m delighted to see Lanolips do so well (both as a product and a brand) but a few other personal favs include the Liz Earle Naturally Active Haircare Botanical Shine Shampoo and Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Sun Defence for Face SPF50 – both of which have been previously reviewed on the blog if you’re interested in discovering what (I think) makes them so good!

Keep an eye out for the finalist and winner seals on the products, shelves and websites to discover the CEW favs!
