From the LifeMinute Team

October 5, 2015

The editors of Shape were sent thousands of beauty products to test for their 12th Beauty Awards Winners. Here, Executive Beauty Director Cheryl Kramer Kaye reveals the big winners, and explains why they should be added to your beauty repertoire.

Best Makeup Remover

"We tested hundreds upon hundreds of removers," says Kaye. The winner? Simple Skincare Micellar Makeup Wipes. These towelettes have little micelles, which are cleansing bubbles that attract dirt and oil and makeup and gently lift them off of your skin. "The wipes are also made with triple purified water, which helps minimize irritation. And then they add back skin-loving ingredients like Vitamin B3 and Vitamin C. I keep these with me at all time," she says. $5.99 at drugsores.

Best Lip Balm

And the winner is: Burt's Bees Squeezable Beeswax Lipbalm. "I have always been a Burt's Bees Lip Balm girl. This has all the things I love about the original. It's all-natural, has beeswax to protect your lips, Vitamin E to moisturize, and peppermint oil for that signature tingling feeling." Bonus: The updated formulation proffers a more precise application and smoother texture on your lips. $4 at mass retailers and drugstores.

Best Shampoo

"Let me tell you, my scalp has never been so clean after testing all of these shampoos! But the big winner was Suave Professionals Sea Mineral Infusion Moisturizing Body Shampoo. And we all loved it because it made our hair feel really soft, but it didn't weigh it down." The reason? The innovative formula doesn't contain silicone. The moisture and the boost from the sea minerals gives hair instant volume. "Check out the entire Suave Sea Mineral range. What I love about them is that you're always going to get salon quality from Suave without paying that salon price," says Kaye. $5 each at WalMart.
