It’s almost time for the annual CEW Beauty Awards, and I couldn’t be more excited. To recap, The CEW Beauty Awards are like the Oscars of the beauty world. If you will recall, last year, I had the pleasure of being a presenter at the prestigious awards ceremony….it was such a thrill! Well it’s almost time for the 2013 CEW Beauty Awards Luncheon and judging by the list of finalists, it’s going to be an incredible display of beauty greatness.
The actual 2013 awards ceremony takes place on May 17…and of course I will be in attendance to share everything with you via Twitter and Instagram…but for now, take a sneak peek at this year’s finalists. I’d love to hear your predictions for coveted categories like Eye Treatment Prestige, Skincare Tools, Nail Product, and more.
Scan the list below and comment to weigh in on your favorites. I can’t wait to hear your input!
