Each year over 4,000 professionals and expert members of Cosmetic Executive Women vote for their favorite products. This mass vote, dubbed CEW Beauty Awards, is compiled and then turned into a list featuring the best of the best in all things beauty. For those who don't get to mark a ballot, the list is still an irreplaceable tool to find that perfect product. So which "best of" brands rocked the 2009 vote?

Of nearly 550 products from more than 260 brands, the CEW Beauty Awards gave top honors to Aveeno, Burt's Bees, Dove, Ojon and Olay to name a few. You can check out the entire finalist gang at the CEW 2009 Beauty Awards Finalists site. And, as previously noted, this is an invaluable shopping list that can be printed and taken to any drugstore or Sephora so you can stock up on beauty insider favorites. Besides, nearly every product on the list is totally affordable so take advantage!
