*The Beauty Shortlist: 2019 Awards: Editor's Choice & Commended

As you'll know I was over the moon to be a Beauty Shortlist Judge* again this year. You can see my Top Picks from the Winners & Finalists HERE. From Editor's Choice & Commended categories my top picks from the products which I judged were:

AYUNA won Best Natural Organic Brand International (Spain) and every product I tried I loved. That packaging too, simply stunning. Winners in Beauty - Editor's Choice was their Balm Volcanic Revitalising Mask plus their Essence High Protein Cream-in-Oil Peel. I loved trying both of these products.

In the Wellbeing Awards, Laviish Smile Teeth Whitening Polish won an Editor's Choice Awards. I loved the quirky packaging (think shoe polish!) and found the results good - my teeth felt deeply cleaned and my mouth refreshed.

I'm a huge fan already of Esse Probiotic Skincare and their Cocoa Exfoliator won in the Editor's Choice category. See my review HERE. Totally new to me is Love Absolute and I enjoyed all the products I tried from the brand. They picked up Editor's Choice awards for their Lavish Cold Cream & Cleanser and Facial Radiance Oil Serum.

Lovely o.Moi was initially discovered in my Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box in September. Their Plump it Up Facial Cream and All-in-One Balm won Editor's Choice awards.

Picking up Editor's Choices awards were three simply stunning face oils - La Belle Lune - a rich organic oil which is perfect to use at night to awaken with beautifully soft, hydrated and plumped skin. I'd been dying to try So27 Skincare's Rewind Night Oil which is formulated with skin loving oils (and smells glorious). Awaken with plumped and nourished skin. The third winner is Temple Spa's luscious Neroli scented It's All Good Nutritious Boost Facial Oil which was a joy to use.

Also picking up Editor's Choice Awards were a brand I hadn't heard of before - Endor Technologies. Their Anti-Cellulite Cream was rich and luxurious and melted quickly onto dry skin while their Anti-Ageing Eye Cream smoothed out and plumped lines and wrinkles. 

Receiving a Commended Award was Pure Savvy's Come Hell or High Water 3-in-1 Micellar Water which I loved. I found it refreshing and loved the light rose scent. It was nice to use to cleanse and refresh the skin and it'd be perfect to pack for summer holidays (I also loved their Multi-Tasker Beauty Balm which is scented with neroli and sweet orange).

2019 Beauty Shortlist Awards: Beauty & Wellbeing - My Top Picks

I was really honoured to be a Beauty Shortlist - Beauty & Wellbeing Awards Judge* again this year. You can see my top picks last year HERE. It was so exciting checking out the Winners/Finalists/Editor's Choice and Commended Winners on 1st March. You can see the whole list HERE.

The following are products which I simply adored which made the grade as Winners & Finalists:

NK Naturals Beautiful Healing Cleansing Balm was a Finalist in the Best Multi-Tasking Balm category. Check out my review HERE.

I totally fell head over heels for Eminence Organic's Wildflower Cleansing balm which picked up a Finalist Award for Best Cleansing Balm. I also adored their Award Winning Best Exfoliating Cleanser, Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser which smelled good enough to eat! I definitely want to explore this brand more.

Picking up several awards was Anne Semonin Paris which scooped Best Skincare Brand 40+, Best Serum (with Bodhi & Birch) and Best Day/Best Night Serum. Their Precious Serum really is a beautiful product which was a joy to use.

Inner Senses picked up Best Face Oil 40+ for their Deep Blue C Facial Oil which my combo skin loved.

Discovering brands I've never heard of before always makes my heart sing. I adored BRUNS 14 Hair Souffle which picked an award as one of the Best Hair Products. It's got a delicious minty scent and leaves the hair looking super smooth and healthy. I also loved their 03 Balsam unscented Conditioner which was joint winner in Best Hair Conditioner category.

I just adored Danish brand o.Moi and fell head over heels for their Neroli Face Cream which won in the Best Day Moisturiser category.

Every single AYUNA product I tried I loved. They scooped Best Natural/Organic Brand International (Spain). The products & packaging is simply stunning and one of the best brands I've ever used.

I'd have given AMLY's Sleep Tight Rejuvenating Face Balm an 11/10 if I could. An absolutely gorgeous sleep inducing potion which melted instantly onto the skin. It won a Finalist award for Best Night Balm.

Again, from Inner Senses, their Awakening Mediative Body Oil which is a beautiful floral oil won Best Body Oil and again, from o.Mio I adored their Respire Yogi Body Oil which won a Finalist award in the Best Aromatherapy Product (Body) category.

ARK Skincare won Best Body Serum for their richly floral Body Beautiful Conditioning Serum (lush) and Greenfrog picked up Best Hand Wash for their Geranium & Peppermint Hand Wash.

Every AYUNA product I tried I loved! The brand is just amazing and scooped Best Natural/Organic Brand - International.

My skin just loved Beeutiful Skincare and especially their Frankincense & Rose Body Balm which won a Finalist award for Best Body Balm. They also won Best Bee Beauty Brand Award.

The final Winner in my top picks is Rosalena for their luscious Lip Conditioner which comes with it's own little brush. It picked up Best Lip Therapy.
