Clinique
Even Better Skin Tone Corrector

Women in the U.S. rank uneven skin tone as one of their biggest skin care concerns. Even Better Skin Tone Corrector virtually undoes the visible evidence of sun damage, dark patches, skin stress, age spots and even the darkening that follows acne scarring. Formulated for all ethnicities, it is an exquisitely lightweight, layerable serum that creates a notably more even and clear complexion. Within four to six weeks, it measurably and visibly corrects, clarifies and evens skin tone. Over time, it even helps prevent new dark spots from forming.


Fresh
Appleseed Brightening Exfoliant

Fresh Appleseed Brightening Exfoliant offers a highly effective and innovative exfoliating experience that is as gentle as it is enjoyable. Mechanical and non-mechanical exfoliators sweep away dead skin cells without irritating the skin to promote a glowing, flawless complexion. As pomegranate seeds and bamboo gently sweep away dry, dull skin, leaving a renewed complexion, the citrus fruit acids, non-mechanical exfoliators, help enhance cellular turnover, revitalizing and softening the skin. Appleseed oil nourishes, protects and is rich in essential fatty acids, offering purely radiant skin.

Shiseido

White Lucent Brightening Eye Treatment targets and treats the factors that contribute to dark circles in the undereye region using a Dark Circle Targeting Complex technology that includes Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

For cosmetic benefits, Multi-Luminizing Powder diffuses light on the skin’s surface, minimizing the appearance of dark circles and dullness.

ESTÉE LAUDER
Time Zone Line and Wrinkle Reducing Moisturizer SPF 15

Contains two new and exclusive technologies that reverse the cellular aging process and dramatically reduce the look of lines and wrinkles. Skin looks and acts as it did years ago. Sirtuin EX-1 Technology helps skin naturally stimulate its proteins, thereby helping skin cells renew their innate ability to withstand daily assaults.

Avon Products, Inc.
Advance Techniques Grey Root Touch-Up

Formulated with creatine to strengthen and repair hair, the gentle, peroxide-free color instantly blends away grey roots until your next shampoo. This easy-to-use gel tint formula instantly camouflages greys with a mess-proof, mascara-like brush that ensures quick-dry, targeted application and won’t flake or rub off. Comb on the temporary gel tint formula when grey roots start to show for a fast, easy way to conceal grey hairs between hair colorings.

Prestige

Living Proof, Inc.
Straight Making No Frizz Styling Cream for Medium to Thick Hair

No Frizz is the first anti-frizz technology in over 30 years to do what silicones can't--block humidity out of hair without weighing it down. After looking at the vast non-beauty world for inspiration and screening a library of novel compounds, Living Proof discovered a new compound, PolyfluoroEster, and formulated it into No Frizz. The technology reduces frizz by coating the hair fiber with an extremely thin vapor barrier, preventing moisture flux in and out of the hair, and reducing friction between fibers.

Now, if you're asking if Beauty Wonkette agrees, the answer is yes, no, and yo no se... For instance, Beauty Wonkette is IN LOVE with the Living Proof No Frizz Styling Creams. My hair has never looked so consistently fabulous. On the other hand, while Beauty Wonkette usually appreciates Olay's determination to provide quality skincare that is affordable, the entire Definity line SUCKS imho.

CEW also doled awards for makeup and some men's products. You can check them out yourself at the CEW site.
