Over the summer you voted in your thousands to let us know which beauty products were your ultimate favourites and essentials. From the fake tanners you love to use to the best online beauty shop, lipstick, moisturiser and fragrance, your votes have now been counted and the winners are in.

Along with your favourites, our expert panel of judges have been voting and testing all the short-listed products too. Our panel consisted of the handbag.com beauty team, our very own resident beauty guru John Gustafson, celebrity make-up artist Mary Greenwell and Jason Attew, the head beauty buyer for John Lewis. Read what these beauty experts said about their stand-out products.

So if you want to update your skin care routine, buy a new make-up product or treat your hair to a new styling kit, don't splash your cash until you've taken a peek at which products have made it into our very best list this year...
