CEW Bestows Prestigious Beauty Awards

Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) held its annual Beauty Insider’s Choice Awards on May 5 at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Previously announced finalists had been chosen by CEW members and winners were voted on by the CEW board of governors. Winners were chosen in a wide variety of categories and were further divided by price points.

Innovative packaging distinguished many of the award winners. Some of the beauty standouts found new ways to dispense personal care products. Among the interesting packaging, Sephora’s lip gloss in a pencil tied for first place in the Make-up: Lip Product under $12 category. Another mass appeal showboat, Neutrogena MicroMist Tanning Sunless Spray is housed in an aerosol container with a one-touch continuous spray. The promised ‘streak-free’ tanning product won in the Sun Product under $15 category. And Dermalogica’s Daily Resurfacer, with its unit dose pouch/applicator sponge construction, won in the Facial Skincare: Cleanser & Scrub $10 and over category.
