How to get attribute “option label/attribute text” having “attribute value” (option_id)?

Question

Suppose I have an attribute that is a collection of option (dropdown/multiselect).

I can retrieve the attribute value for a given product:

$store_id = [something];
$productId = [something];
// this is a select/multiselect
$attribute_code = [something]; 

$option_id = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product')->getAttributeRawValue($productId, $attribute_code, $store_id );
$option_label = ???

Now, I got the attribute option_id which is a numeric value ...

... What is the best way to load the frontend attribute label for my attribute value ? (without loading the full product)

Solution thanks Marius:

// Not loading the product - just creating a simple instance
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
->setStoreId($store_id)
->setData($attribute_code,$option_id); 
$option_label = $product->getAttributeText($attribute_code);

Answer 1

In addition to your code put this:

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
                ->setStoreId($store_id)
                ->setBrand($brand_value); // not loading the product - just creating a simple instance
$brandLabel = $product->getAttributeText('brand');

Answer 2

$attribute = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')
            ->loadByCode(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, 'manufacturer');
$label     = $attribute->getFrontendLabel();
