  • Cue the Drum Roll ... TotalBeauty.com Doles Out Awards For The Best Beauty Products

  • Throughout awards season, the only show I really give a hoot about is the Academy Awards (see if our Oscar hairstyle predictions came true -- we sure didn't predict the fate of Sandra Bullock's marriage though … ). Not only do I give a hoot about the Oscars, but I make a point to prepare for them by seeing as many academy-nominated films as possible beforehand (I covet "Inglourious Basterds" Diane Kruger's tousled waves, seen in this photo). And then on the night of the show, I print out ballots for pre-voting and betting (yes, I'm that serious about it) with my friends. This year -- and always -- there were the shoo-ins mixed with the unexpected.

  • Kinda like the results for the 2010 TotalBeauty.com Awards. Out of the three main categories: Hair, Makeup, and Skin & Body (57 categories of beauty products total), some of the usual suspects won, but there were a few surprises. Here's a sneak peek at an Editors' Pick and Readers' Choice winner from each main category:

  • HAIR

  • Best Blow Dryer:

  • Editors' Pick

  • T3 Featherweight Professional Hair Dryer

  • So quiet and indeed feather-light, it's a little surprising the drying power this holds.

  • Readers' Choice

  • Conair Infiniti Professional Styler

  • "This dryer does just as good a job as the more expensive brands without breaking the bank." -- tobby


  • MAKEUP

  • Best Highlighter / Multi-Tasker:

  • Editors' Pick

  • Benefit Benetint

  • "Even if I don't wear my foundation, I will dust a little over my face for a sun kissed look." -- mikkioz
