CEW(UK) Beauty Awards 2010 Winners

I was honoured to attend the CEW(UK) Beauty Awards at the Intercontinental Hotel. The awards ceremony was packed full of the most glamorous beautiful people obviously using lots of beauty products! Every year the 700 members of the CEW test the products and vote on line. The major press, beauty companies, then attend a glowing award ceremony.

Here are the ones I have tried and recommend. All for Eve won 3 Categories and is a range of unperfumed crèmes raising money for Gynaecological cancer. Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare is a lovely range and deservedly this also won 3 awards. Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair synchronized Recovery Complex won Best New Skincare Treatment Prestige Product. While St Tropez won in two categories and was the first brand to win in a mass and prestige category for its Wash Off Instant (Mass) and Everyday Gradual Tan Mousse (Prestige). Dolce and Gabanna The Make Up won Best New Prestige Brand, and Diorskin Nude foundation won best new prestige makeup product. I have tried both these brands and would heartedly recommend the Diorskin foundation I love it! It will replace Chantercaille in my makeup bag.

The lovely Elemis range won best British brand and of course Clarins Beauty Flash Balm won best iconic product. Mark Jacobs Lola won best fragrance Prestige.

Lisa Alward

For men, my client QVC TV presenter Lisa Alward stunned everyone with her style and beauty as she collected the award for A’Kin Calming After Shave Balm! Check out the CEW special QVC programme on Monday 8-10pm or Boots. Com/beautyawards to snap up all these amazing must haves.

What to wear this summer?

When styling men white always looks great with a tan as this Nikki Beach White Party shows. White shorts tight black T shirt, coloured linen shirt for an easy, cool look.

Colours? Choose black, pale blue, turquoise or dark red. Linen shirts can be found everywhere. Keep it simple for instant sex appeal.

Add a panama hat for instant cool. Markets all over France, Italy have these for good reason.

Choose Aviator shades, add espadrilles in black for a European look, to take you from beach to bar. Swimming trunks choose one colour, Olebar Brown make great ones. The flowery look is now overcooked. I feel the same way about these as I feel about boxers with little devils. Fun? Yes, Sexy? No. Replace baggy shapeless trunks with tailored ones for effortless style.

For evening swap the shorts for jeans in black or white, add another linen shirt. T shirts choose black, white or blue on top. If you are heavy add a one button linen jacket in white.
