Beauty Grand Prix
You voted: The winners of the 2017 Beauty Grand Prix
Working in the ELLE Canada beauty department means testing hundreds of products and featuring our faves in the magazine. But once a year, we turn this task over to our readers and let them decide. This year, 800 jurors tested over 222 skin, makeup and hair products over the course of 11 weeks. Here, the winners worth some real estate on your top shelf.
