I used this in my bath last night: It was a single-use sachet, 80g of fragranced sea salts and it was £2.35 well spent! I know that single sachets of anything are never that cost effective, but I’m drawn to them because they’re perfect for taking away to hotels and on holiday. Things like scrubs [...]

Boots have an amazing one litre version of the Soap & Glory Righteous Body Butter at the moment. It’s £25, which is a nice bulk-buy saving, but it’s limited edition so if you’re up for re-stocking, get in there fast! The butter is a rich, unctuous body treat that works wonders on dry wintery skin. [...]

There seems to be a rising trend for all things pomegranate – am I right, there, or is it just me? I have asked more than a few people recently about their fragrance and they have all been wearing Jo Malone’s Pomegranate Noir. Crabtree & Evelyn have launched a whole range of pomegranate-y things and [...]

Slightly surprising discovery of the week: Thierry Mugler’s Angel Body Cream. I’m actually surprised that I like Angel full-stop, because it’s nothing like the fragrances that I normally wear, but I’m even more taken aback by my love for this hulking great pot of body cream. It is HUGE! The box looks as though a small [...]

I have an unexpected lingerie casting today; I thought I’d share with you my quick preparation routine for getting my bod looking sleek ‘n shiny in a hurry! just waiting for the postman to knock… 1) Dinner the night before: easy on the wheat. I made a gorgeous Italian stew with aubergine, courgette, pepper, red [...]

I have only just read the bottle properly and realised that this calming mist can also be used on the body – what a bonus! I had wondered. One supposes that if something is gentle enough to spray onto bedlinen, it’s gentle enough to spray onto skin, but you can never be too sure and [...]

I love Aromatherapy Associates Bath and Shower Oils (see previous review here) and have worked my way through the Perfect Partners set and the Heavenly Oils set, both of which contain two mini-sized bottles of oil. The mini bottles are perfect for travelling with – you get just the right amount for one big, luxurious [...]

I wouldn’t usually love a video enough to embed it here on A Model Recommends (unless it’s one of my own, naturally! Hahaha…) but this just absolutely blew me away. Make sure you watch it, it’s quite an eyeopener! Just a few questions: 1) Is this is the bloke from the Lady Gaga video ‘Born [...]

I know what you’re thinking: why in God’s name would I want a soap moulded into the shape of an aeroplane wearing spectacles? Well I’ll tell you a few things, which include the fact that 1) They’re flying goggles and not glasses 2) It’s pretty bloody cute (also comes in pink) 3) 100% of the [...]

Obsession of the month: ridding myself of negative energy. Sounds startlingly hippyish coming from me, the most cynical person in existence, but it’s true. I am spending so much time in front of a computer screen these days that I can almost feel my mind ‘buzzing’ when I go to bed. Even when I’m away [...]

How cute is this?! I know it’s a little early to be thinking about Christmas, but I have a desk full of sparkly, glittery, twinkly things all ready for my Bumper Christmas Video (it’s going to be a masterpiece, let me tell you. Cliff Richard’s already booked to croon in the background and Brian Blessed’s [...]

My most-used SPF of the summer, made by the brand that nobody ever knows how to pronounce. Or is it just my immediate family that has a problem with it? One of us says “piss boon”, another “pizz boo-in” and my mother, who always pronounces anything she’s not sure of in French, says “peee bwan”! [...]

I have to tell you: this ‘body art’ kit from Urban Decay is a lot of fun. You get ten ‘tattoo’ stencils (two each of rose, skull, stars, snake, swallow) and five different glitters along with some glue and a brush, and it takes just over a minute to create a surprisingly nice, glittery decoration! [...]

I spotted this on FeelUnique and thought that it was quite good – you can’t get Clarins ‘Gift with Purchase’ that often online. This is a 100ml Renew-Plus Body Serum and a 50ml Hand and Nail Treatment and a little ‘Vanity Purse’. Am I the only one who would prefer it if GWPs never included [...]

WARNING: do not use this body butter unless you want to spend your days resisting the temptation to eat your own flesh. I don’t know what kind of devilry the people at Good Things have employed in the making of this product, but it is all kinds of dangerous. I have only moisturised my legs with [...]

When I was a teenager I used to be obsessed with Lavender. I had room-sprays and sachets and oil-burners galore, all loaded up with the relaxing scent of lavender. I went a bit overboard, looking back – it rather spoilt the smell of lavender for me for the years to come. But after quite a [...]
