SPRING STARS: 10 LIP & NAIL WINNERS FROM OUR 2021 AWARDS

Spring is officially with us and with things feeling lighter and brighter, I wanted to share some of the natural makeup winners at this year’s awards which took place on 2 March.

The lipstick category winners did especially well, and there might be a couple of brands you’re not familiar with in this line-up. Marks were awarded for ingredients, pigmentation, texture, taste and “long lasting factor”.

If you’re a CBD fan, check out Dr Lipp’s new CBD Superfood Beetroot Lip Tint, a protective, high shine favourite I’ve been wearing out on my walks.

Brands featured:

LIPS

Luk Beautifood, Madame Gabriela, Madara, Dr Lipp’s CBD Beetroot Lip Balm (new!), Eye of Horus

NAILS

NailKind and Kure Bazaar

As well as past winners from: Nude by Nature and Weleda and although Korres has never entered their lip products (only skincare) their Morello Voluminous Lip Gloss is one I’ve bought quite a few times. It’s rich, glossy and does make lips appear fuller.

Three new favourites from the awards were Luk Beautifood (AUS), Madame Gabriela (USA) and NailKind (originally a Danish brand and – brilliant – available at high street big name Superdrug).

You can see the complete list of 2021 Winners (Beauty, Grooming, Wellbeing and – new – Eco Lifestyle) on the home page.

So here’s to the warmer, lighter days ahead, full of nature’s perfectly painted flowers and all the joys of the brand new season (I think Australia/NZ are having an extended late summer, which is good news, too).

Happy (almost) spring!
