9 Glosscars Nominees You Need To Know About

In what is arguably the most prestigious award ceremony of the year, the 2023 Glosscars have arrived.

For the first time in four years, with 90 of our treasured and beauty-obsessed members in attendance, we were able to roll out the blue carpet and host a face-to-face event at the beautyheaven HQ.

Showcasing the latest and greatest in beauty, the Glosscar Awards celebrate products released over the last 12 months, with categories ranging from Best New Foundation to Best New Cleanser. 

Having trialled and reviewed eight of our fabulous nominees, here is what our most-trusted members had to say about some of the beauty products up for an award this year…

Manicare Eyelash Curler with Comb

We say: Now, here’s a product you never knew you needed. Manicare’s lash curler comes equipped with a fine comb designed to individually separate each lash. The result? Long and lifted lashes – before you’ve even applied your first coat of mascara.

You say: “I like the comb feature as it helps separate the lashes out as well allowing me to apply my mascara more effectively. I like that it comes with an extra replacement pad and comb attachment as well meaning you won’t have to buy a whole new curler so soon and can have them as backup if anything breaks.” – At1295

Star rating: 4.5*

Eylure Eco Lash & Stash – Date Night

We say: Whether you’re a first-timer or just fancy a no-fuss application, Eylure’s handmade, vegan lashes apply quickly and can be reused for up to 10 wears. The only thing you have to worry about? Making plans to show them off.

You say: “I received many compliments when wearing these and they feel extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. They also feel very secure on the eye and did not poke in the inner corners after some time like other lashes do.” – Simone Gee

Star rating: 4*

Synergie Skin Effica C

We say: Sensitive skin? Say no more. This non-acidic vitamin C serum works to brighten discolouration, reduce age spots, minimise the appearance of fine lines and protect against UV damage – all without triggering any irritation. Jackpot!

You say: “As someone with sensitive skin, I’m always hesitant to try new products. However, this serum has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The antioxidant protection is amazing and my skin feels so fortified and nourished after use. It’s also great that it’s suitable for all skin types, so I can recommend it to all my friends. The packaging is sleek and easy to use, and a little goes a long way, so it’s definitely worth the investment.” – HH123

Sukin Naturals Skin Relief Body Lotion

We say: Packed with antioxidants and prebiotics, Sukin’s nourishing lotion balances the skin’s microbiome, boosts hydration and leaves dry, distressed and itchy skin free from irritation. As far as supermarket body care goes, this fragrance-free formulation is tough to beat.

You say: “I have very dry skin and as I have aged my skin takes a lot to be moisturised. This is r Has the right consistency and leaves my skin feeling rich and creamy yet without that greasy heavy feeling. Absorption is quick and can see it hydrate my skin with it feeling much softer and I have a beautiful supple look to my skin now.” – Ren88

Aesthetics RX Total Repair DNA Serum

We say: Truth be told, there’s not much this night serum won’t do. Hence why it’s the only Glosscars nominee to receive a 5-star rating from our members. Hyaluronic acid will keep the skin radiant, hydrated and firm. Retinal will improve congestion, clarity, pigmentation and texture. And peptides will aid in repair and regeneration. All you need to do is get a good night’s sleep and allow the serum to work its magic.

You say: “What an amazing product, a small bottle that is jam-packed with a formula that recovers, repairs and rejuvenates your skin. I applied this at night time, right before bed and I love how the formula is non-greasy and absorbs directly into my skin. I wake up the next morning with glowing skin, noticeable after the first use! I feel fresh and rejuvenated and I can already see a difference on my face.” – Wonderesque

Star rating: 5*

Burt’s Bees Squeezy Tinted Balms

We say: Too nourishing to be just a lip tint but too pretty to be just a balm, Burt’s Bees have struck the perfect balance between look good and feel great. Available in five juicy shades, each Squeezy Tinted Balm is enriched with cocoa butter and responsibly sourced beeswax for intense hydration.

You say: ” I love the fact that the balm is tinted a pretty peach colour that is slightly noticeable. Beautiful hydrating formula left my lips feeling highly nourished and looking great.” – AlliDelaney

Glow Lab Pro-Collagen Plumping Night Cream

We say: As the name suggests, Glow Lab’s night cream works to plump and firm the skin as you sleep. Enriched with a potent medley of skin-loving ingredients, including the powerful peptide, Matrixyl® Synthe’6™, you’ll wake up to a visible boost in moisture, elasticity and, of course, glow.

You say: “The cream is not too heavy, it smoothes and leaves skin as it says plump and soft. It has a soft scent and is a pleasure to apply to my face and be the main feature in my night time routine. My skin has never looked so full and soft since using this product people have commented how lovely my skin looks.” – Ren88

Glam By Manicare® Billie Glam Ready Pre-Glued Lashes

We say: Forget playing around with lash glue. These press-on lashes come equipped with a lightweight, adhesive band that’s done all the fiddly work for you. Plus, if you’re prone to irritation, these strip lashes have been crafted entirely free from latex.

You say: “They are a really natural length, so when I put them on they mostly added volume, which is exactly what I was after. They make you look like you either have AMAZING mascara or just a full set of beautiful thick lashes.” – Daz
