2014 #Beauty20 Awards Presented by innoCos Digital

The 2nd annual #beauty 2.0 Awards took place on September 30th at 404 Tenth Avenue in NYC. The #beauty 2.0 awards, hosted by innoCos events, praised the beauty brands that were the most ground-breaking and innovative in digital marketing, having been nominated and voted on by fans.

The 1st annual #beauty 2.0 Awards was initiated in 2013 in Paris. The awards ceremony will continue in 2015 during the innoCos digital event, where the winners will be announced in London, San Francisco or Shanghai. 

For this year's #beauty 2.0 Awards, I had the honor of presenting the award for Best Beauty Startup to Birchbox! Since I am currently a Birchblogger and have worked with Birchbox in the past, I was thrilled to present this gorgeous, much-deserved award to them! See below for a recap of all the winners from each of the 10 #beauty20 categories.
