Share my beauty secrets

"I am very pleased to be working with gorgeousshop.co.uk" Welcome to my page, I hope you will become a regular visitor to the site. When I was approached to work with gorgeoushop.co.uk, I naturally jumped at the chance. Who would'nt want to test and review the latest salon professional hair and skin care brands.

Like most women, I have a real passion for my beauty regime, so its only right that I share this with you. Over the forthcoming weeks, I will give you my views on the great hair care, skin care, make up , tanning and nail care brands featured on this site. We all have our favourite products which we may use religiously, in fact its quite easy to become hooked on one paticular brand. Sometimes I require some real justification to try something new. Yet, since I have been involved with gorgeousshop, I have begun to discover new hair and skin soloutions that realy do make a difference.

So hopefully, my views may inspire you to try various things too . Change can be a good thing! There are some fantastic salon only brands featured here that you just have to try. So keep coming back to read my reviews on this years must have products. 2008 promises to be a great year in hair and beauty and I am excited about keeping you up to date. Look out for new launches from the industries heavyweights like ghd, Kerastase, Tigi and Redken.

Find out my top recommendations on the latest skin care solutions and discover what I think about new manufactures that enter the market. Don't forget gorgeousshop.co.uk brings you salon only lines, products that the salon professional know, use and recommend. This may mean that you are paying more than standard high street brands but I can assure you that in my experience it is always worth that little bit extra.

How to keep a natural tan this Winter

"Xen Tan Face Tanner .... does the trick "
Ok here's an idea that really works! I don't know about you but I like to have a healthy natural looking glow, even in the darkest depths of winter. Acheiving that "just back from the beach look" can be hard work and a little time consuming. So, let me tell you about a sunless tanning product that gives you a great looking face tan all year round. Better still its easy to apply, without any mess, hassle or even a trip to a tanning centre. read more...

Jessica Nails equals 'fab' nails

Personally, I think the Jessica nail products are the best, for the past ten years I have been having Jesssica pedicures and I firmly believe they are one of the leading brands, the list of celebrities that agree with me are Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore, Sharon Osbourne, Minnie Driver and the Queen of pop our Madge.

I tested a couple of their new colours Jessica Nails Pink Passion and Jessica Nails Venetian Ball which was a fantastic punkish red. They are easy to apply very rarely smudge and look great
