I opened my mailbox the other day to find the May issue of SELF Magazine(cue the Hallelujah chorus). Ah, the day had finally come! You see, getting SELF in my mailbox is always exciting (it’s hands down my all time favorite mag) but this moment was especially meaningful because I actually helped to complete a major feature in this issue.
This past winter I was selected to work for SELF at Conde Nast (yes, in the same building as the Vogue girls! I am not going to lie, I kind of felt like Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada next to these fashion divas) in the beauty department for the Healthy Beauty Awards. This year shaped out to be the biggest awards yet–there were over 1,000 beauty products tested (1,187 to be exact) by more than 2,200 women (…and actually a few men. Ha!). Can you imagine? The beauty closet was literally a sea of products before we got them all categorized and packaged up to be sent to lucky readers to be tested.
Once we received feedback from readers, we tallied the winners and pulled some of our favorite quotes to be featured in the mag. So fun, and so worth it. I’m a sucker for beauty products.
You can view the complete list of winners here.
Here are some my favorites from each category (uh huh, you bet I got to try some of these amazing products too )
Best Clarifying Shampoo: Redken’s Nature’s Rescue Refreshing Detox Shampoo, $14.50
