Best of 2008 MuT Award Winners!!!

MakeupTalk Best of 2008 Award Winners

I've tallied the votes and have put together the results. The top 3 picks of each category have been found!

Now, as a disclaimer, a lot of voters weren't specific while others were. So, while one voter might have answered their best mascara was "Lancome Hypnose," another voter might've only answered, "Lancome."

Also, a lot of brands/products tied with others, and so I didn't list all of the brands which tied in most cases (which will be very visible in most categories).

That all being said... Let's get the results!!!
