CEW Awards: Who Made the '08 Hot List?

Big day for beauty today! The 2008 CEW beauty awards just wrapped up at The Waldorf-Astoria; an annual event that honors beauty's best-of-the-best, picked from 600+ products, with 1300+ beauty professionals attending! The fabulous Mario Cantone hosted, brand reps gave lovely thank-you speeches, and we learned some interesanto stats about just how important beauty is in our lives. Like ... there are more spa than Starbacks in the U.S. ... and as the unemployment rate skyrockets, so do lipstick sales (discuss!) ... and apparently if you stack all the lipsticks sold world-wide since '03, it would out-stretch three Empire State buildings!?) No problemo if you missed our live, Twitter-happy text updates, though. You can check out the big winners here, and while you're at it, give a shout out to Sephora's pretty prize-winners below. Congrats to all the winners! -- Jessica Anderson
