Allure Magazine Releases 14th Annual Best of Beauty Issue!

NEW YORK, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- For the beauty-obsessed, or even those merely interested in makeup, the hotly anticipated 14th annual Best of Beauty issue has arrived. During the months of testing, one Allure editor's bathroom started to resemble something out of Hoarders, with shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, and scrubs lined up on the shelves. Even though we consult experts and test, research, and report on new products in every issue, for Best of Beauty we break it down and compare them to bring readers the products that can solve problems, save money, make them feel better, or just make life easier. Here, a sneak peek at what we've uncovered this year.

Cheap Thrills: 31 products, all $9 or less. And they're not just bargains for bargains' sake. They've passed our intense testing process. They are the real deal.

Guys' Stuff: For a man, finding good grooming products ranks right around watching Sex & The City 2. Help him, please.

Sensitive Skin: When sensitive skin acts up like one of the Real Housewives, placate it with our suggested soothers.

Here's a sampling of this year's fantastic products:

Best Mascara (Lengthening): Cover Girl LashBlast Length Mascara. Its skinny brush, elasta-nylon formula, and plastic bristles allow this mascara to grip and elongate every last lash.

Best Pink Lipstick: Dolce and Gabbana Lipstick in Charm. It's rich and creamy, in a dewy rose shade that's all grown up.

Best Anti-Aging Treatment for Wrinkles: RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream. The wrinkle fighter all skin docs champion is retinol; this is the product they all recommend.

Best Self-Tanner: St. Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan Mousse. It spreads easily, dries in ten seconds, leaves no streaks, and takes you to golden brown in a few days.
