The tribe has spoken – in the beauty world anyway – revealing their favourite beauty buys of this year at beautyheaven's annual Best in Beauty Awards 2016. The results were dropped today, with winners picked from the 7500 votes submitted nationally by beautyheaven members and the wider beauty community.
Eighty-nine products took the top prize from 1200 product nominations. KORA Organics and muk Haircare swept up the most awards with six winning products in their brand portfolios respectively, with brands including NIVEA, Benefit, and Maybelline New York holding on to their winning titles from last year.
beautyheaven editor Rosemary Bracey says of the 2016 awards: “Beauty fanatics take their favourite brands and Holy Grail products very seriously, so it’s really exciting for us to be able to announce which products have taken out the top gongs for being Australia’s favourite beauty products of all time.”
Brands and beauty devotees across Australia are also encouraged to join the conversation, expressing their opinions and congratulations using the hashtag #BestinBeauty2016.
