Winners are : Alison, Ching, Norissa Chavez
I will be contacting you by email and you will have 48 hours to respond or your prize is forfeit. I’m very strict about that so make sure you check your email and your spam box.
Thank you everyone for helping make the Readers’ Choice Awards 2012 a great success!
Now tell me: Did any of the results surprise you? Or perhaps your favourite products won?
I was actually quite interested in the shortlist, more than the winners. There are quite a few products there I haven’t tried, and did you notice a couple of products that won last year also won your hearts this year? I love that! 😀
