UKHairdressers
had a super day recently, attending the Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards at
Quaglino's in London. Combined with the Cosmo Girl Kiss of Approval
Beauty Awards - it was a red carpet event where the stars of the show
came in shapely bottles, voluptuous jars and shiny packaging. The Editorial
and Readers' choice products were judged and the winners announced to
the waiting audience.
The Beauty Awards are endorsed by celebrity judges and also judged by
industry experts. Over 115 products across 20 different categories.

every girl's dream by testing all these gorgeous products! We've certainly
had a lot of fun and we can't wait to tell everyone about the brilliant
new beauty gems we've discovered."

spoiling myself with all these great products. I feel totally refreshed;
my skin is glowing like never before. Armed with my new beauty knowledge,
I now know exactly what to shop for."

Louise
Redknapp: "It's been a real privilege to judge these Awards
- I've never felt so pampered in all my life! I've tried products I
wouldn't normally have chosen and proved that you don't have to spend
a fortune to look great."
