We arrived dressed in our finest to the amazing City Central at HAC. The red carpet celebrity photography commenced, followed by dinner and the Awards, hosted by Caroline Flack (host of Love Island (and previously The X Factor and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!)
Along with Beauty Magazine and the ASOS team, they were joined by almost 1000 other execs, celebs, and influencers, all there to celebrate the world of beauty.
The glitzy awards ceremony celebrated the latest and greatest products in UK beauty retail and to win so early in the evening really made it a night to remember.
The Beauty Awards™ brings together beauty manufacturers, consumers and retailers. All products entered are tried and tested by a panel of industry experts; their findings determine the Shortlist. The Shortlist is showcased in October to November to the UK consumer, the beauty industry and beauty retailers. Over 250,000 votes were cast this year to decide the winners.
As an optician, James came across Eye Care Cosmetics over 20 years ago as the range is designed for those with sensitive eyes, skin or blepharitis. The entire range excludes known irritants such as nickel, chrome and parabens and prepares the remaining ingredients in a special way to reduce the risk of a reaction and boost the skin’s natural defences.
Michelle a pharmacist, knows from customer feedback and her own personal experience of sensitive skin that switching to irritant-free cosmetics and skincare benefits many women who struggle to wear make-up.
