I'm very excited to announce that my Colab Dry Shampoo is now available at Boots, both in-store and online! If you're not already a "Colab Convert" then it's now far easier to get hold of a can and give it a try - loved all over the world for its clean, residue-free...
Space NK: The Party Piece Gift
It feels like the battle of the goody bags again - lots of the beauty retailers seem to be doing high-value gift-with-purchases in the run up to Christmas and everyone seems to want to out-do everybody else. I can't remember when the last big run of GWP madness was,...
Cheap Thrills: j’adore
After my brief financial misdemeanour the other week (see unicorn boots, here) it brings me great joy to show you two very cheap and cheerful things that might just brighten up your wintery day. First, the "j'adore" t-shirt from Boohoo at ASOS*, which is a tenner....
Biscuits, Blankets and New Beds (Sort Of) | AD
We are still rather discombobulated here, in the City of Bath. Our rented house is utter chaos, mainly due to the fact that I am using 90% of it as my office/storage facility and have beauty products on every available surface, but also because we are hesitant to...
It’s All Just a Little Bit of History Repeating (Or is it?)
I'm having just a little bit of a wobble about Ted's continued night-wakings and the fact that we can't seem to break the cycle. We've tried formula, a bit of controlled crying, we've tried going in and not feeding him, we've tried feeding him on every little whim......
Smudgy Matte Liner: Smokey Eyes Made Easy
I have been desperately trying to divert attention away from my undereye circles by smudging on loads of eyeliner. An old trick utilised quite frequently in my more hedonistic (read youthful) modelling days, when I used to think nothing of staying out at a party until...
What to Wear: Autumn 2017
I feel as though I've done a lot of fashion posts recently and I think it's because I can finally fit into my clothes without having to lie on the floor and/or use a plastic shoehorn to tuck my tummy into my trousers. It's far more enjoyable browsing for things online...
Foundation Review: Dior Forever Perfect Mousse
There seems to be a bit of a thing for longwear foundation launches at the moment, and I have a handful of those that I'm testing on rotation, but I wanted to kick off this run of reviews with Dior's new Diorskin Forever Perfect Mousse. Although it actually...
The No-Tears No-Flakes Baby Shampoo
I have a bag in my office filled with empty shampoo and body wash bottles, finished tubes of face lotion, cleaned-out tubs of cream. An outsider would think they had stumbled upon some sort of secret hoarding problem; regular readers of A Model Recommends would know...
Rodial: The Airbrush Foundation Brush
I've been back on the foundation testing train (first scheduled stop, Dior's new Forever Perfect Mousse, toot-toot!) but before I hit you with a slew of in-depth reviews, let's talk about the chunky brush I've been applying my bases with for the past few months....
The Jumperoo: So Good I Bought Two
I find myself with another metal-and-plastic monstrosity in the living room (though it's a different living room, as we're still in our temporary house in Bath): the Fisher Price Roaring Rainforest Jumperoo*. A nightmarish jumble of primary colours, it's the...
Sunday Tittle Tattle: Christmas Comes (Really Really) Early
I've had a very odd week in which I've found myself plunged, rather prematurely, into a state of Christmas excitement. It started with the delivery of a pre-lit Christmas tree from Next (I can highly recommend one of these if you hate pine needles dropping everywhere...
