Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) has announced the Finalists for the 2015 CEW Insiders’ Choice Beauty Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Now in its 21st year, the CEW Beauty Awards celebrate the most innovative products of the year. The 210 finalists were chosen from more than 750 product entries and these innovative new products were selected exclusively by beauty industry experts. Out of the 37 total award categories, finalists were voted on in 33 award categories by CEW members, more than 6,000 beauty industry executives and professionals from 1,700 companies. Winners, who will be selected from the finalists by the CEW Board of Governors and a select group of industry experts, will be announced at the CEW Beauty Awards Luncheon Friday, May 15, 2015.
“The CEW Beauty Awards are different from all other awards in our industry because it is the only award selected by beauty insiders, those who know products best and can determine what is really exceptional,” says Carlotta Jacobson, President of CEW. “These finalists represent the most innovative products, selected by CEW experts for shoppers to use as a guide to find beauty’s best.”
New this year is the addition of the Hair Tools category, which will showcase tools that aid the preparation and styling of hair, such as blow dryers, curling irons, flat irons, brushes and other like products.
