Self magazine just announced the winners of its 2007 Healthy Beauty Awards, which recognize skin-care, makeup, and hair products that are both good and good for you. I love lists like this, because they always give me ideas about new products to try (as if I needed more, but whatever).
The Self awards are a great mix of drugstore treasures and high-end brands. (Thanks to Beauty and the Blog for the tip!) To see the list of winners, read more

i used none of these products. i guess i need to get on the ball.
i have been eyeing that aveda shampoo for curls for a few months though. i am such a sucker for hair care products.
1i was happy to see the sonia kushuk palette on there, that thing is so innovative, different colors for blondes and brunettes, genius!
2wouldnt it be good if we could hop a flight to anywhere,so long to this life, so much fun pretending, cause bad luck's never endin
I have used the Pantene Texturize Foaming Mousse Wax- love
I have also used the L'Oreal eyeliner- love
The one I would highly disagree with is Clariol Natural Instincts. Maybe they changed it from the last time I used it but I never got good results. I never once got a natural looking color.
3woot woot!I use a few of these products.
4I love Self magazine!!
5That is such a diverse list of products! Woot Woot! The CoverGirl Mascara I did a review on is on the list!
6I love this list, so many good ones!
But I am shocked to see Avon got best at home peel.
7who chose these products?? i've used none of these
8I'm very excited about this list!!!! Thanks for posting it!
9LMAO....$125 for SOAP???
10ooooh i love this list! hehe im going to go out n grab some of those items.. especially the cheaper drug store buys like the nivea one.. i've tried jergens so i know i'd like a face glow moisturizer
11Wow this is great, I'm off to buy those straightening shampoos and conditioners.
12i totally agree with sweetflower on the soap thing!!! some of those things were just to pricey for me....wish i could get em...but im broke
13This is totally off topic, but Ali Larter looks beautiful on that cover!
Return the shoes? I can't talk to you when you're hysterical.
14Wow, most of the products I would NOT buy because of the price
15I was a little shocked that Suave, Sally Hanson and V05 made the list!
16I am dying to try the new Stella McCartney skin care line, but I just can't bring myself to purchase the system...unless I get a gift card, that is!
17I love SELF! It is really great to see some cheap stuff on this list.. so we can put our money to good use: saving the world, while looking fabulous of course.
18wow, there is some expensive stuff on that list.
19(giggles at $125 for soap).....Ok....I subscribe to Self and have almost since its first issue. I wasn't willing to shell out $125, but on the site, you can get a sliver for $12. Call me a sucker for a gimmick....(can you see the sucker stamp from there?) It is just soap. I didn't really notice any difference in my skin. I also bought it for tween (12) daughter who has breakouts. Didn't work for her either. See, this is what happens when you send people free items and ask them to pick favorites. That was how this list was compiled after all.
20I LOVE Self Mag. My fave mag up there with Elle and the old Jane. But how come sensitive skin types have to splurge?
21Is that really $125 for a soap? Something you slather on for 20 seconds and then rinse off---will cost you $125?
22I use some of those products and they are great like the mascara, body wash and lotion!
23I need a good waterproof mascara.. may I will try the Maybelline Turbo express (I know the Maybelline great lash one does not work for me)
24$125 for facial soap..that thing must work wonders!!! good gosh!
