This year ELLE held not one but two beauty awards. There was the ELLE International Beauty Awards 2013 (the ceremony was held in Paris earlier this month) where the beauty directors from all 44 ELLE titles across the globe selected the 14 best new products from this year.

The winners are revealed in the January issue of ELLE (out now).

Being international awards we felt it only right to hold our very own ELLE Best of British Beauty Awards 2013 online. Our judges Beauty Director Sophie Beresiner, hair stylist Sam McKnight, make-up artist Lisa Eldridge and dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting deliberated over the entries and whittled it down to 10 very deserving winners.

You can see all the Best of British or as we like to call them #ELLEBritishBeauties in our gallery here.

But that wasn’t all – we called on you to vote for your favourite British cult beauty product of ALL time. You filled out the survey in your droves and the winner of the award is… Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish! A very deserving, truly iconic, winner.
