2O17 fINALISTS
​
"My Attracta Beauty Awards were born out of a desire to connect people back to the heart of beauty. I love to share all my insider knowledge and explain why I choose some products over others to travel all over the world with me. As my Awards grow it is my aim to start a new beauty conversation around the best skincare and makeup brands, as well as introducing you to the best experts and treatments behind them.
​
For the first time I am honouring these award-winning brands and products at a special Awards Ceremony on July 4th in a beautiful location in central London. I look forward to meeting all the Finalists and handing over a selected number of Winners' Award certificates that morning as well as introducing you to a select panel of skincare and beauty experts who want to discuss the past, present and future of all things beautiful."

With over 250 entries this year, I have finally arrived at my Finalists listed below.
