This year, our 2023 Glosscar Awards unveiled some seriously top-notch beauty products.
So, if you’re someone who likes to spend their beauty allowance wisely (and on products that actually work), our purple badges will point you in the direction of some guaranteed new gems.
However, if you’re asking the team at beautyheaven HQ, there were three super standouts from this year’s awards, each of which provide big beauty gains for a reasonable price (including something for the man in your life).
From the quick-absorbing SPF that’ll nourish as it protects, to a drugstore lip tint that will become your year-round BFF, here are the Glosscar winners that should be top of your wishlist.
Best New Lip Product
Burt’s Bee’s Squeezy Tinted Balms
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, every handbag, desk drawer and car door needs one of these fruity-flavoured balms. Enriched with beeswax and cocoa butter, dry lips will receive a healthy hit of moisture as the natural tint leaves behind a pop of colour and long-lasting shine. As for which shade to choose? We don’t like to play favourites but if you’re going to twist our arm, we’re a sucker for a swipe of Watermelon Rush.
“I absolutely love the Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm. This was perfect for me as someone who tends to wear natural makeup. I loved the feel of this lip balm, super moisturising and creamy and the beautiful tint it gave my lips. Berry sorbet is my favourite but I also like the sweet peach squeezy. It not only looked great but also smelt delicious!”

Best New Sunscreen
Quick Dry Moisturising Sunscreen SPF 50+
If you love a thorough head-to-toe SPF application (and, well, good because there’s no other option) but you’re not so mad about the greasy residue that lingers on your skin, there’s someone we’d like you to meet. Thanks to the inclusions of vitamin E and aloe vera, Natio’s high performance SPF 50+ offers a smooth, moisturising and comfortable application.

Best New Made For Men Product
Remington Rapid Cut Ultimate Hair Cut Kit
It’s not too often we come across a jazzy new grooming tool for the man in our life so forgive us for being hot under the collar over Remington’s latest device. Whether it’s a detail, trim or more hefty cut, the unique blade technology allows for a clean, precise and much faster barber-worthy finish.
