The Oscars, the Emmys, the Golden Globes, the VMAs, the Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards
there are awards for just about everything. That includes beauty as well.
There are the FiFi Awards for fragrance and the CEW- Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards, so why not get in on the award action too?

Here are the products making the Glam Slam Beauty Hall of Fame.
CREME DE LA MER
No doubt this one is expensive, but to me it's worth every penny. I just got back from a trip and the dry airplane air, sun, sand and salt at the beach took their toll, but one application of this cream started to work wonders. I love how rich it is, perfect for my super-dry skin. www.cremedelamer.com
CELEB FANS: Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Marcia Cross, Rebecca Gayheart
PHYTO PHYTOVOLUME ACTIF VOLUMIZING SPRAY
If you have limp, fine hair like I do, this fave helps "pump you up!" No wonder I have seen this backstage at many a show during NY fashion week; where it's a staple for just about every stylist. $28 www.phyto.com
CELEB FANS: Natalie Portman, Padma Lakshmi, Bryce Dallas Howard
BUMBLE AND BUMBLE SURF SPRAY
The perfect way to get surfer girl texture and waves that doesn't require a trip to the beach. $23 www.bumbleandbumble.com
CELEB FANS: Kristen Bell, Carmen Electra, Sienna Miller
KERASTASE NUTRITIVE MASQUINTENSE
This conditioner truly transforms your hair. I've have been using it for years and at more than $40, it is pricey, but a little goes a really long way. www.kerastase-usa.com
CELEB FANS: Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, Ashlee Simpson, Rachel Weisz, Becki Newton
L'OREAL PARIS ELNET SATIN HAIRSPRAY
I used to bring this back from Europe, before it was available here in the US. Perfect light hold, without being sticky. $15 at drugstores.
CELEB FANS: Beyonce, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez
NARS THE MULTIPLE
I live for products that multi-task and this one tops them all. Good to use on eyes, cheeks, lips and even the body if you go for a bronzy shade. I like Portofino
a very flattering shade of pink. For a more golden, bronzy look, try South Beach or St. Barts. $39 www.narscosmetics.com
CELEB FANS: Christina Aguilera, Evan Rachel Wood, Jenny McCarthy
DIORSHOW BLACKOUT MASCARA
This makes my puny blonde lashes look long, dark and totally flutterable. Is flutterable a word? From $24.50 www.dior.com
CELEB FANS: Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Emma Watson
CHANEL LIP GLOSSES
I have been using these for years and even though I've tried other brands, I always find myself coming back to the Glossimer Glosses. I love the colors, the texture and the applicator. $28.50 www.chanel.com
CELEB FANS: Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Dianna Agron
OPI NAIL POLISH
Chanel may be a major trendsetter when it comes to nail colors, but if you want to get the look for much less, OPI is my go-to polish brand. The colors are always on trend, the price is right and the polish doesn't chip. www.opi.com
CELEB FANS: Serena Williams, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber designed a nail polish line with Nicole by OPI.
