HELLO! – Product of the Year: The best Canadian beauty finds in 2016

While we love telling you which products we’ve discovered around the office and added to our repertoires, there’s another category of goodies we’re thrilled to share: the Canada’s 2016 Product of the Year picks. Unlike our editor’s picks, these annual honours award the goods deemed top of their class by consumers themselves and along a variety of categories. Thousands of participants in Canada offered their opinions to rate their favourites finds in both quality and innovation. We’ve rounded up five of the best beauty buys granted the Product of the Year seal of approval for 2016, from volumizing nail polish to hydrating gel cream.
