Finding a foundation that works like surgery can be life changing, stumbling upon a mascara that renders our false eyelashes redundant can be revolutionary, discovering a lipgloss that lasts will get our hearts beating. So hooray for the annual VIVA Beauty Awards which, every year, reveal exactly which products are worth their buying-power.

And this year the VIVA Beauty Awards 2012 are looking solely to you – the dedicated reader – to help us to herald the hottest buys out there. From anti-ageing lotions, to body smoothing potions, superhero hair products to never-forget-me fragrances, we need to know what items you can’t live without.

All you have to do is click the ‘Vote Now’ button to your right, register online and start shouting about the beauty products you love. Doing so will not only ensure that your favourite brands will be in with a chance of winning a prestigious award, but you will also get the opportunity to bag all the winners for yourself, plus tickets to attend an awards ceremony in Dubai in May 2012 when all the VIVA Beauty Awards winners will be announced.
And just when you think it can’t get any better, everyone who votes online will be automatically entered into our prize drawer to win a luxury break at Raffles Praslin Seychelles. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to live a gorgeous life.
