Opinions Matter - Debenhams Beauty Club Awards 2013

So I am constantly searching for what is the best mascara out there, or the best lipstick, or the best foundation, and so on. One of the main places I look, as well as other bloggers and watching YouTube videos is on the Debenhams Beauty Club. I look out for their little symbol they stick on the products of the ones their editors have selected. I thought it might be interesting to have a look at them today, and give my opinion on the products they've selected as the best on the market and see whether I agree or disagree.

★ Best All Time Ladies Fragrance - Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (3rd Year Running) RRP £67

Disagree.

I really like this fragrance, however personally I think there are a lot of other perfumes out there I would rate higher than this one and would go to grab a lot quicker too. I applaud Chanel for creating a perfume aimed towards the younger generation as a lot of their other scents and somewhat too mature for my taste. I find this one just slightly too sweet though.

❤ Personal Option - Dior Miss Cherie RRP £54

I think that the Miss Dior Cherie is one of the most popular scents out there and one of the most recognizable too. I think this scent is beautiful, however the price tag is somewhat off putting.

There is a dupe rumored. Katie Price - Stunning.

★ Beauty Must Have - Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette (2nd Year Running) RRP £29

Agree.

I love the Urban Decay eyeshadows, to be honest with you I don't own a lot of eyeshadows as I feel like they fade really easily and quickly and especially if they're glittery, fall all over your face! So I tend not to bother with it. I do own both the original Naked Palette and the Naked 2 and I love them! Sometimes there are those night where you do want to doll yourself up a little bit and I always grab these palettes in order to do that. I love the consistency and the durability of Urban Decay eyeshadows and having one of these palettes is the perfect way to have a nice variety of shades and there are lots of different ways in which you could blend any of the colours together to create a signature look for yourself.

★ Best Mascara - Benefit They're Real! Mascara (2nd Year Running) RRP £13

Agree.

This is my favourite mascara, so well done editors. The results you get when using this mascara is fa-nominal. I swear it must add hairs to my lashes because they are so voluminous and long it's insane. The brush itself is perfect for seperating lashes and stopping clumps and has a nice tip on the end in order to get to those tiny lashes hiding in the corner. The formula itself makes your lashes so dark, full of volume and curls your lashes at the tip. Only slightly negative comment about this one is it can be a pain to take off, but you have the confidence to know it's not going to budge!

★ Best Blusher - MAC Powder Blush RRP £18

Agree.

I am a huge fan of MAC, and there blushes are just another one of their fantastic creations. Lovely consistently, lovely range of colours. There's one for everyone.

★ Best Of Lip - MAC Lipstick (3rd Year Running) RRP £15

Agree.

I love love love MAC lipsticks! I would guess about 80% of all the lipsticks I own are by MAC. Not much I can really say to be honest. They are amazing.

★ Best Brows - Bobbi Brown Brow Pencil RRP £16

Agree.

To be honest with you, I've never used this. I don't own anything from Bobbi Brown but this will be going on my christmas list. The reason I've said agree is because I'm still on the hunt for a brow product. At the moment I'm using Benefit's Browzing but I find the shades too dark for me and the wax is too thick just looks cakey. I hear good things about this product and the people who use it always look really nice.

★ Best Primer - Benefit The POREfessional (2nd Year Running) RRP £25

Agree.

Holy grail of all primers. Makes your face like a flat canvas...no lumps of bumps. Like you don't even have pores. Brilliant. Only used a sample of this in the past, need to invest in it. I went to buy it recently but they didn't have it in stock! Boo-hoo!

★ Best of Eyes - Dior 5 Couleurs Designer Palette RRP £35

Disagree.

My friend is an avid user of Dior so I have used one of these palettes in the past, and was not insanely impressed. They are very good, but not worth the massive investment I wouldn't say.

❤ Personal Option - Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette RRP £29

My favourite palettes are the Naked range from Urban Decay. Whether it be the original, the Naked 2 or the Naked Basics. I love the consistency, the quality and the packaging. The range of shades are amazing and they're all beautiful.

★ Best Foundation - bareMinerals Original SPF 15 Foundation (3rd Year Running) RRP £18

Agree.

Personally, I prefer the matte finish but the bareMinerals foundations are lovely. They are so lightweight, feels like you're not wearing anything on your face and it looks like it too! Mine has recently run out, so I need to repurchase.

★ Best Concealer - Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (3rd Year Running) RRP £19

Agree.

I have used this product myself for atleast 3 years now. I love the packaging, who doesn't love as bit of gold though? The push button pump mechanism is really good so allows no wastage so you really are getting your moneys worth. There are lots of different shades so there will be one for you! It really does brighten up your under eyes and I sometimes use it just under my brow as a sort of highlighter.

★ Best Nails - Nails Inc Bling it on set RRP £20

Disagree.

I've used a couple Nails Inc nail varnishes and I've not really liked them. Found that they took forever to dry and you have to do a lot of coats in some shades.

❤ Personal Option - Barry M Nail Paint RRP £3

Barry M Nail Paints are my favourite and go to item when it comes to nail varnish. They have so many shades and they have different finishes as well now. They're very good quality and good value too. I have almost every shade I think...ask any of my friends and they'll tell you my nail polish collection is like visiting Boots.

So there you have it, my personal opinion on some of the most favored products out on the market according to Debenhams. Most of which I did agree with, and believe they had made some good decisions. A couple where I thought there were some other products out there that were better...but after all it is down to matter of opinion, and just thought I'd express mine! I implore you to do the same!
