Oh!
Is what I said, when I used this body wash last night. I would have said more, but I’m not in the habit of talking aloud to myself (much) and so I thought it instead.
Why, I thought, this is a splendid little shower [...]

Seriously: check me out in my fluffy spa robe! Do I not look the absolute shizzle? I’m pleased as punch with myself! Hahaha…
I had a lovely time at Champneys Tring the other week, filming some videos that I had wanted to do for ages on at-home spa treatments. This [...]

Google has decided to remove the “GFC” function from all non-blogger sites. As I’m completely self-hosted, that means A Model Recommends will no longer have GFC, so approximately two thousand readers will lose their daily update. BOOO, Google! May your summer be plagued with wasps and…bees!
OK, some options [...]

My latest winter-skin hero: Heal Gel. Created by five plastic surgeons, it’s designed to help repair post-surgery skin (read chapped, inflamed, generally sore) as well as treat a whole range of different skin conditions. If you’re looking for a multi-purpose skin ‘first aid’ gel then this [...]

I often get asked about what my “all-time favourites” are, and I suppose that at some point I should really make a video about it. The problem is that there are always new readers coming through (hello new readers!) who haven’t seen previous posts, and so every now and again [...]

I have just finished my Lavera Rose Garden Bath Oil and can say, categorically, that it’s brilliant. You need very little to scent a large bath and the 100ml bottle costs just £8.95! A definite, definite re-purchase, this one. It may not look like the flashest bottle in the bathroom, but it absolutely does [...]

I just love this Klorane makeup remover. They discontinued it last year, or so I thought, but here it is again and thank GOD for that! It’s so soothing and gentle and it does a pretty nice job of getting off all but the most stubborn [...]

I jest, of course; ’tis only me. And beautiful Charlotte from the Dior press office. I’d just like to make it clear, though, that we are both available to shoot the next campaign if we’re needed. I mean, I’ll have to check my schedule and everything, but if I’m not at uni [...]

Chanel’s ‘June’ nail polish from the Spring 2012 collection is absolutely gorgeous – I’m obsessed with this creamy apricot shade! Last year I bought a cardigan and a top in exactly this colour, so I can’t wait until it’s warm enough that I can wear them again. And be all sad and matchy-matchy.

Just quickly, a couple of cute scents for Spring – I’ve been meaning to post these up for a while!
1) Vivienne Westwood’s Cheeky Alice, from £32 at Debenhams.com. This is a fresher, flirtier and slightly more floral scent than ‘Naughty [...]

There were lots of requests for information on the makeup I was wearing in the ‘Dozen Red Roses‘ video, so I recreated the look. It’s a very (very) simple daytime ensemble with glowing skin, neutral eyes and a slick of extremely expensive lip-balm. Perfect for castings as it looks natural but still [...]

This is one of my favourite new masks – it’s a real ‘doer’ that actually shows results! Some masks, I feel, are just glorified moisturisers; a mask should be a concentrated shot of ingredients, a treatment, something that targets specific issues. Of course, you may just want to relax and [...]

Sunday Tittle Tattle (noun?): everything from the week that I have forgotten to post about, in easy brunch-sized chunks…
1) I went to Paris this week for the launch of twelve new Dior Addict lipstick shades. The trip was ultra-glam and I was looked after very well! I shall be posting [...]

I have been meaning to mention this for a while: be careful when using regular cellulite creams last thing at night. I find that they really keep me awake and then I sleep badly! It took me ages to realise that it’s probably the masses of caffeine that’s packed into many of the [...]
