Thanks to everyone who voted in this year's DeLush Readers' Choice awards! We'll be showing you our picks as well as the winners of the reader's choice each day this week.
Tomorrow - Eyes (Eyeliner, Eye Shadow, Mascara); Friday - Lips (Lipstick, Lip Liner, Lip Gloss, Lip Balm); Saturday - Face (Foundation, Powder, Concealer, Blush).
PERFUME

Melissa's Pick: Hanae Mori Butterfly
No matter what other scents I get, this one will remain a staple in my fragrance arsenal. It is slightly intensely feminine without being too floral and girly. People always ask what I'm wearing when I have this on, (and my husband loves to smell it on the nape of my neck). It wears through the day fabulously and smells incredible in your hair, too.
Retail Price: $58.00-$80.00 (at sephora.com and finer department stores)

Jen's Pick: Clean Perfume
I've tried a lot of great perfumes this year, and there are many that I love depending on the season, but none that I get as many compliments on or as many inquiries about as this one. Guys love the fresh smell and my friends love to borrow a spray or two for a night on the town.
Retail Price: $76.00 (CleanPerfume.com)
DeLush Readers' Choice: This category generated a wide array of responses, but these 4 fragrances tied as the top picks from our readers - Chanel Chance, Benefit's Maybe Baby, Narcisco Rodriguez for Her, and Philosophy's Falling in Love.




Retail Prices: Chanel Chance, $42.00-$95.00; Benefit Maybe Baby, $26.00-$46.00; Narcisco Rodriguez for Her, $40.00-$84.00; Philosophy Falling in Love, $35.00. (All are available at sephora.com.)
BATH PRODUCT
Melissa's Pick: True Blue® Spa Soak it Up™ Tahitian Bath Milk with Monoi Oil
NO. CONTEST. For me, this is the ultimate bath indulgence. This milky bath soak takes you on a mini-tropical vacation with each bath, and leaves skin soft and smelling yummy.
Retail Price: $15.00 (at Bath & Body Works stores and at bathandbodyworks.com)

Jen's Pick: Archipelago Botanicals Soy Bath Milk
It's my favorite way to unwind after a long day and my favorite soak before I get ready for a big night. It smells clean but amazing all the same, just like their candle collection.
Retail Price:$16.00 (at select gift shops)
The DeLush Readers' Choice Award: Philosophy 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash
Retail Price: $16.00-$18.00 (at sephora.com and some department stores)
NAIL COLOR
Melissa's Pick: Sally Hansen Beyond Perfect Protein Nail Color
After Jen tested this nail color I had to try this for myself. This really does gives you the smoothest, shiniest nails - that last an incredibly long time! Looks fabulous even without a topcoat.
Retail Price: $4.99 (available at drugstores everywhere)

Jen's Pick:Rimmel Lasting Finish Lycra Wear Nail Polish
This drugstore nail polish comes in a variety of gorgeous colors, it lasts longer than any other drugstore nail polish I've tried, and the consistency allows me to paint it on without looking like I dipped my fingers directly into the pot. A great nail color at an even better price.
Retail Price:$2.49 (Walgreens, and other drugstores)
The DeLush Readers' Choice Award: OPI Nail Color
Retail Price: app. $7.50 - Available in salons and some Beauty Brands stores. Go to opi.com for locations.
