If you like a particular brand of shampoo or conditioner such as Kerastase, Paul Mitchell, Nexxus, Aveda or Tigi (and there are loads more) and you'd rather have it sent to you than schlep to the shops then this is the site for you. There's loads of information about hair products and styles, hard to find make-up and irresistible beauty accessories. You can browse for hours here and you'll find everything you need.

From Boots' Brand Boutique you can buy makeup, skincare and cosmetics from Chanel, Clarins, Clinique, Christian Dior, Estee Lauder, Lancôme and Yves St Laurent and they carry pretty well the full ranges from each and every one. You'll also find there modern brands such as Benefit, Rubie and Millie and Urban Decay, fragrance by just about every name you could possibly want and, of course, all the basics such as toothpaste, tissues and hair care. Delivery is fast. Express delivery is an option and returns are free. This is a brilliant website.

Most people when they think of Jo Malone think of her gorgeous and luxurious fragrance and spa products, all of which you'll find here. Take a good look again at her beautifully designed website, where you'll also find her beautifully scented cleansers, serums and moisturisers and her facial finishers: finishing fluid and powder, lip gloss, blush and mascara, but beware; once you're on her site it's extremely hard to escape without buying.

This beauty specialist retailer offers a pampering range of skin, body and sun care products and is particularly well known for their Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and well priced but excellent special treatments and moisturisers. Shimmer products for body and lips, Vital Oils and mini-kits from across the range are just some of the temptations on offer and the lovely packaging is an extra bonus.

This is the place to find your professional standard hairdryer by Parlux (and they're really excellent), hair straighteners and stylers by GHD and Babyliss and a wide range of hair brushes. This site is aimed at the professional so there are a wide range of salon products that you probably won't be interested in but the choice and prices for the dryers and brushes are some of the best you'll find and the service is extremely speedy.

You can buy Guerlain, Clarins and Decleor skincare from this site, St Tropez tanning products and also the full range of Jessica Nail colours with the full colour chart and the Zen Spa treatments. It's best if you know which colour you want to order as the chart is quite small but if you're in the mood for something new have a go or call them for advice - they're always extremely helpful. Delivery is very fast, they offer gift wrapping and you can order from anywhere in the World.

The Garden Pharmacy's list of top brands seems to be growing by the day.
