Savvy Awards 2010 - Best of the Rest

Best New Brand

Naked Bodycare, from Boots (instore and online) and Nakedbodycare.co.uk

I first heard about Naked back in March I think and just loved that there whole range was 97% natural and free from SLS and parabens and also NOT expensive like so many other organic brands.
Since then I have religious used a whole range of there products and seen them grow as a company - first getting there products into Boots and last month moving into Sainsbury's. Not to mention there exciting new facial skincare range!
Not only are there products chemical free but they are luxurious and smell beautiful! 
An amazing company doing amazing things - I really have my fingers crossed that there Naked products will be in Tesco by the end of 2011!  


 

Runner Up - Famous by Sue Moxley, available in Superdrug from £6.00

I'm actually not sure if the Sue Moxley range was new to 2010...but lets just say it was! From reviews are the beginning of the year the products seem to of been a let down...however there new Famous by Sue Moxley range is a huge improvement. 
New packaging, new products, cheaper pricing! 
There are some really amazing products in the range that are definitely worth a look - especially the lip and eye palettes and my new favourite baked highlighter in Miami (£6). 
I really hope the range goes from strength to strength in the new year!  

Best Hand Care Product

No7 Revitalising Hand Saviour, £11.00 

This is not just another thick, greasy hand cream, it's actually a hand exfoliator! 
You basically apply this grainy scrub to dry hands and rub in as if your washing them, then just rinse off with warm water to reveal beautifully soft hands. 
This really is like no other product I have seen on the highstreet and works better than any other hand cream I've used in 2010. 
A true hand saviour!  

Best Makeup Remover

Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up Remover, £2.99  

I'm sure this is a firm favourite for many people that love a bargain and also a product that does what it says! Which is definitely this. 
This will remove all eye makeup within 40 seconds without any scrubbing or redness. 
I also secretly use this as an oil cleanser when I'm being lazy to remove all of my makeup!
Does what it says and does it well!  

Best Lip Treatment 

Blistex Relief Cream, £2.19 

There isn't much to say about this, except it works. This give relief to dry, cracked, chapped lips. Great to smooth on in the comfort of your own home as an intensive treatment or to rub in when your out in the cold. 

Runner Up - Bepanthen Ointment, £2.59 

Yes, I realize this is actually a nappy cream and isn't meant for the lips but this truly works wonders for ugly cracked lips as a overnight lip treatment. 
This is the only thing I use when I need to restore my lips back to there normal state.
It has got a slightly creamy shade to it so it can't be used in public but it is tasteless and 100% safe on the lips.  

Best Miscellaneous Product 

Eucryl Freshmint Tooth Powder, £1.45

This is the cheapest yet most sensitive teeth whitening product I've found on the market - plus if doesn't involve any trays or nasty tasting gels. Just a mint flavoured powder that you dip your tooth brush in and use as you would any tooth paste. 
I use this up to 3 times a week and really have noticed a big even difference to mention the product!

Runner Up - Cosmopolitan Blend Perfection Sponge, £4.99 available in Superdrug

I recently reviewed this (here)as it's just the best foundation sponge I've ever tried. This creates a totally flawless effect within seconds. Also blends in concealer and cream blush. 
High quality and a must if you are looking to create that natural dewy look to the skin. 

 

Best Skincare Range

Avene 

There's just something about this brand that I trust and believe in - every Avene product I have so far tried has worked. I love there simple concept and there lack of any nasty chemicals (so perfect for sensitive skin). 
I use there Clearing gel and Thermal water almost daily.

 
Runner Up - Naked Bodycare 


From there gorgeously luxe feeling Coco de mer Body Butter to there cookie dough scented Jojoba exfoliating Face Wash to there amazing multi purpose Starflower Hand & Body Lotion, I love it all! 
Just an amazing range of products. 

Best Brand of 2010

N07 available in Boots 

I'm sure some of you may umm and arr about this choice - however I'm talking about the brand as a whole. There constant 'spend so much and receive a free gift worth over £23' campaign, not to mention there much loved £5 free vouchers that happened quite regularly in 2010! 
Aside from there offers they brought us amazing multi award winning skincare in there Protect & Perfect line and revolutionary products such as the Exceptional Definition Mascara that had three different sides too it. 
There sales staff are helpful and not pushy and there products are always of good quality. Not to mention the amazingly talented Lisa Eldridge is the brands Creative Director. 

Best Beauty Website

Asos Beauty and Boots.com

Asos has really been a great website in 2010 - with there Free Delivery and amazing sales. But what I love the most about the site is there Beauty section, always stocking the must have products and up coming brands like Yes To Tomatoes and Nail Rock. 

Boots has also been a much used and loved site this last year with there handy free delivery to store. There beauty products also just seem to grow and grow with new brands such as Burt's Bees, Neal's Yard and Good Things. Easy navigation and good pricing make this a website I will always rely on.  

Make sure to check out the Makeup Savvy Awards here if you already haven't and I will see you all in the New Year.

Hope you all have a fab New Years eve!
