Cocktails, Trophies and an Epic Gifting Suite: Inside Our Next in Beauty Awards

Hundreds of products, months of testing and a collective of industry leaders and experts later, last night,Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing hosted its inaugural Next in Beauty awards—a glittering soirée attended by our category winners—and what a night it was!

Our judging panel, made up of acclaimed industry experts, editors, and influencers, were tasked with testing countless products in order to settle on a carefully thought-out selection of the best beauty products in the market today. Between sipping on Picantes and eating delicious pasta, our team—Editor in Chief, Hannah Almassi, deputy editor, Maxine Eggenberger, and beauty editor, Eleanor Vousden—bestowed our winners with their trophies, and also awarded some very special products—one from each of our Hair, Skin, Makeup, Body and Nail categories—with the further honour of Best in Class.

The ceremony itself brought together some the beauty industry's biggest names and brands to celebrate together under the same roof; 180 Health Club on The Strand to be precise! Between the proceedings there was plenty to enjoy and explore, but the runway hit was without a doubt our premium gifting suite, which featured a selection of our winning products which guests could take home and enjoy (and see what all the fuss is about for themselves!).
