Allure 2008 Readers' Choice Awards (Bath, Body & Nails)

***I'm going to break these down into their respective categories/forums... And I'm too lazy to post pics of everything too LOL***

DRUGSTORE: This includes national chains such as Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, and Target.

DEPARTMENT STORE: This includes Macy's, Neiman Marcus, and the like, plus specialty beauty stores such as Sephora and Bath & Body Works, direct-sales (and online) companies such as Avon, and products sold at spas and salons.

BODY SCRUB
DRUGSTORE: Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub
Loaded with salicylic acid, this foaming exfoliator battles pimples everywhere but the face.

DEPARTMENT STORE: Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish
This thick, grainy scrub gently buffs and hydrates skin with a mix of brown sugar and sweet almond oil.

BODY LOTION
DRUGSTORE: Olay Body Quench
The formula gradually builds up moisture levels in the skin so that the more you use it, the less you'll need it. Plus, it's slightly (and tastefully) iridescent.

DEPARTMENT STORE: Bath & Body Works Cherry Blossom Body Lotion
Some fragranced lotions are cloying, but this one leaves just the slightest suggestion of sweet cherry in its wake.

SELF-TANNER
DRUGSTORE: Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer
The first gradual self-tanner on the market (in 2005), its three formulas—fair, medium, and medium/tan—still blow away the competition, depositing a small amount of color that builds up each time you apply.

DEPARTMENT STORE: Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel
This silky gel dries out quickly and gives skin a sunny glow without a hint of fakery.

NATURAL-LOOKING NAILS
DRUGSTORE: Sally Hansen No Chip 10 Day Nail Color in Infinite Natural
The Energizer Bunny of nail polish, this pinky nude truly stays chip-free for ten days.

DRUGSTORE: Essie Nail Polish in Mademoiselle
It looks like the color of cotton candy in the bottle, but it mellows to a universally flattering sheer pink shade on nails.

BRIGHT NAIL POLISH
DRUGSTORE: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Fuchsia Power
This watermelon shade has a slick finish and looks especially great against dark skin.

DEPARTMENT STORE: OPI Nail Lacquer in Charged Up Cherry
The fruity burst of hot pink makes nails look like they're ready for vacation.

CLASSIC FRAGRANCE
DRUGSTORE: TIE Love's Baby Soft and Jovan White Musk
The light, powdery scent of the '70s lives on, and on, and on...
DRUGSTORE: TIE Love's Baby Soft and Jovan White Musk
A few spritzes of this woody floral, laced with jasmine, ylang-ylang, musk, and amber, makes us nostalgic for our first coed dance.

DEPARTMENT STORE: Chanel No. 5
It may be the only perfume in history that has the power to bring three generations—mothers, daughters, and grandmothers—to their knees.

NEW FRAGRANCE
DRUGSTORE: Intimately Beckham Women
This mix of vanilla, sandalwood, and orange blossom is a best-seller—and proves that the Beckhams truly have taken over the world.

DEPARTMENT STORE: TIE L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani and Marc Jacobs Daisy
Violet leaves, peach skin, and sweet pea—if it isn't innovative, it isn't Gwen Stefani.
DEPARTMENT STORE: TIE L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani and Marc Jacobs Daisy
Just like the designer's musk-and-strawberry-scented fragrance has a little edge and a little sweetness.

MEN'S FRAGRANCE
DRUGSTORE: TIE Old Spice and Drakkar Noir
Old Spice's potent blend of anise, citrus, and vanilla has been making men smell like he-men since 1938. Even Jackie Moon is a fan (at least of the deodorant).
DRUGSTORE: TIE Old Spice and Drakkar Noir
A whiff of this cedarwood-spiked cologne has us daydreaming about the baddest guy in high school.

DEPARTMENT STORE: Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio
Notes of green tangerine and rosemary smell fresh and crisp, but ever so slightly exotic.

Sally Hansen nail polish must be popular!
I wouldn't agree with the Beckham perfume for women though, it was too musky smelling for me.

Re: Allure 2008 Readers' Choice Awards (Bath, Body & Nails)

great list! i love my jergen's natural glow! it's the only thing that keeps my legs from looking greenish, gray in the summer months.

sally hansen's polishes are the best! long wearing with a great color selection and a good price.

OMG! i totally love chanel #5. i only wear 4 parfums and even after 20+ years #5 is still on my list!

thanks for posting, aquilah!

I didn't know Bath and Body and OPI were considered Dept. Store... Wow...
