COSMETIC EXECUTIVE WOMEN (CEW) HONORS BEST BEAUTY PRODUCTS OF THE YEAR Announcing the 2008 CEW Beauty Award Winners in makeup, skin care, hair care, and more!
New York, May 2, 2008 – The beauty industry came out to celebrate its finest today, as Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) honored the most innovative beauty products of the year. The CEW Beauty Awards are determined by those in the know—over 4,000 beauty professionals. For manufacturers, taking home an “Insider’s Choice Award,” is the industry’s highest honor. For consumers, it’s a foolproof way of knowing the best new products on the market today. “When shoppers see a product with the CEW Winner’s seal they know it’s been vetted by a professional. It’s like having a friend in the industry give you their honest opinion,” noted CEW President Carlotta Jacobson. “These are the products people are talking about…and the ones we all want to own.” This year’s prestigious list of CEW Beauty Award Winners were announced this afternoon at a gala event at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City.
In addition to recognizing the best products of the year, the CEW Beauty Awards announced the winner of the “Indie Beauty Award,” the brightest new start-up in the world of beauty. This year’s contest resulted in a tie, with bettybeauty, inc. and Clark’s Botanicals taking home top Indie honors. Want to get your hands on the winning products?
