Joining the mag's editor and publisher, Jackie Frank, to honour the best new local and international releases in the beauty world were Mel B, Lara Bingle, Jesinta Campbell, Erika Heynatz and Sophie Falkiner but notable mentions must go to Alyssa McClelland and her punchy pout and the beautiful and brave Sally Obermeder who was all smiles and radiant skin despite battling breast cancer. Stay tuned for a list of winners.
