Best Lip Glosses or Lipstick:

From drugstores: L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipcolour ($9). “This is one impressive lipstick.” So hydrating, “you don’t need to put on lip balm first,” says a fan.

From department/specialty stores: MAC Tinted Lipglass ($14). This four-time winner’s “glamorous and kissable” shine stays put “even through a meal.” A “perfect complement to your smile.”

Best Body Product: From drugstores: St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub ($4). “Stimulates and de-stresses” while delivering “smooth” skin. And it’s “budget-friendly.”

From department/specialty stores: Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Body Lotion in Japanese Cherry Blossom ($11, bbw.com). This three-time winner is “flowery” and “seductive,” and it also gets the job done. “Even keeps elbows soft.”

Best Self Tanner: From drugstores: Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer ($9). Four-time winner! Get a “sun-kissed glow” with this “moisturizing” formula. It’s “hard to mess up.”

From department/specialty stores: Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel ($33). Perfect for getting a “summer tan during fall months,” this “streak-free” stuff has a faithful following—readers love it for the fourth year in a row!

Best Eye Creams: From drugstores: Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum ($19). This five-time winner hides “the fact that I never get enough sleep.” Followers swear that it “definitely helps with puffiness” but feels “weightless.”

From department/specialty stores: Clinique All About Eyes ($47). Five-time winner! “Attacks dark circles,” leaving under-eyes “refreshed.” Confesses one voter: “I got my husband to use it.”

The Best Facial Moisturizers:


From drugstores: Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 ($14). The “superlight” skin saver “evens skin tone” with “no trace of greasiness.” Bonus: extra sun protection.

From department/specialty stores: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion ($24). This six-time winner is nicknamed “liquid awesome.” One fan would want it “on a desert island.”

The Best Wrinkle Fighters: From drugstores: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream ($25). This “miracle” cream “makes small wrinkles disappear.” Says one reader: “At age 33, I’m usually mistaken for 24.”

From department/specialty stores: Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex ($48). “In less than a week,” this “smooths wrinkles.” Fans “wake up” to glowy skin.

The Best Mascaras: From drugstores: Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara ($6.50). This six-time winner “Lengthens” and “plumps” skimpy lashes “without being clumpy.” This classic “never fails to deliver.”

From department/specialty stores: Dior Diorshow Mascara ($24). The brush gives you “mile-long lashes” and “great volume,” making this “well worth the price.” Two coats is “perfect for a night out.”

The Best Shampoos: From drugstores: Pantene Pro-V Restore Beautiful Lengths Breakage Defense Shampoo ($5). Hair looks “healthier, less damaged” after one wash.

From department stores/salons: Biolage Hydrating Shampoo ($14). The go-to for a “fabulous hair day,” this nondrying shampoo keeps color looking “fresh and new.”

The Best Conditioners: From drugstores: Pantene Pro-V Restore Beautiful Lengths Breakage Defense Conditioner ($5). Even heat-styling addicts get “soft and silky” hair after a five-minute conditioning session. “No more brittle ends.”

From department stores/salons: Biolage Colorcarethérapie Color Care Conditioner ($15). This color-treated hair savior “prevents dryness and fading” but “doesn’t weigh hair down.”

The Best Foundations: From drugstores: Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse Foundation ($9). Blends so well it looks “airbrushed”; “my coworkers don’t think I wear makeup.”

From department/specialty stores: Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Original SPF 15 Foundation ($25). Six-time winner! “Camouflages blemishes” but it “doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a mask.”

The Best Nail Polish:

From drugstores: Revlon Nail Enamel in Revlon Red ($5). The “straight-up red” color is the “ultimate classic” that looks “timelessly sexy” on readers’ nails and lasts like a “salon pedicure.”

From department/specialty stores: OPI Nail Lacquer in Lincoln Park After Dark ($9). Perhaps the “most unique naughty purple around,” this gives you “rock-star feet.”

The Best Blush: From drugstores: CoverGirl Cheekers Blush ($4.50). This “affordable” blush—a six-time winner—has women hooked because of its “vibrant” colors that don’t “look or feel cheap when you put them on.”

From department/specialty stores: NARS Blush ($26). Readers’ favorite shade, Orgasm, delivers “color without looking too blush-y” and “makes me feel sexy.”

Best New Gadget:

Oh, 2010: the year of the Snooki pouf and orange lips. So what was Glamour readers’ favorite new invention? Meet the winner: Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser and Deep Clean Foaming Pads ($10). The little “vibrating” gadget “rejuvenates” and leaves your face “smooth and clear” without being “too abrasive.” The device “completely saved my skin—I can feel it working,” raves one admirer.
