It's Beauty Season!

Posted on August 10, 2009 01:35 am by Nicole R. Delos Angeles, Beauty Editor

Like most girls, I absolutely love cruising the cosmetics aisle and beauty counters. I can spend at least an hour or two checking out what I want to buy, what new loot I can add to my routine, or what new kikay tool I can use to amp up my primping. But for those who aren’t as crazy about beauty as I am, these rows and rows of products can be super frustrating to go through—especially when you just end up disappointed with the results. This is where Cosmo comes in.

It took us nearly 30 hours to shoot all the products for the Cosmo Beauty Awards. This is me with our huggable photographer, Louie Aguinaldo, on Day One.


Every August, I sift through all the new products that were launched in the local market to find winners for the annual Cosmo Beauty Awards. From 500 products that were nominated by different brands (and after endless sloughing, slathering, and lathering), Cosmo handpicks 95 winners based on how effective and innovative it was and whether it was a worthy investment. We only had one goal in mind: to give you, the Cosmo girl, a list of the best products for your get-gorgeous needs.

We shot a total of five balikbayan boxes of beauty loot. Here's the assembly line of products that follows. Thanks to Yumi (our intern) for the pics!


So, whether it’s a shampoo, moisturizer, or mascara you’re looking for, you can trust that we’ve chosen the best of the best for you. This way, you can spend fewer hours in the cosmetics aisle and more time with a hot date.

When beauty shopping, look for the Cosmo Beauty Awards 2009 sticker to make sure the loot you spend your precious moolah on is a good investment.


On another note, I decided to make my blog more interactive by posting a question after each entry—just random questions that’ll help enlighten me on your primping habits and routines. And because I looove prizes, the first one to post her answer (by commenting) gets a prize every time! This month, up for grabs is a Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Healthy Natural Luminous Blush.

Here’s the prize of the month—it’s perfect for getting a fresh, rosy glow.


Now, here’s the question of the month: What makeup product can’t you live without?

I hope you’ll answer and share your thoughts with me by posting a comment. P.S. For me, it’s lipstick because it can do double-duty as blush, too!
