Oooh, I'm finding this one a right little devil to review! The Air Cushion Skin Perfector from Topshop is another cushion foundation (product-soaked sponge inside a compact, for those not in the know with this particular trend) but I'm flailing around a bit when it...
Oh, when you're massively pregnant, what to wear, what to wear? Everyone congratulated me on my timing with this pregnancy (like I had any say in it), ooh, you'll be glad that you're doing the winter rather than the summer! But do you know what? Summer was so much...
I've tried quite a few products from Marks & Spencer's own brand Formula before, but it seems that the entire skincare line has recently had a complete overhaul. Packaging, ingredients, formulations, the whole caboodle. There are six collections within the line,...
I've been indulging in a bit of fantasy shopping for my favourite woman-crush, Beverly Goldberg. Have you watched The Goldbergs yet? It's fabulous - I try to catch it every morning on E4 for a bit of a feel-good fix. Loosely based on the real-life events of a...
Right, it's about time I got on with some serious baby-gadget-reviewing, because the baby is now a toddler, new baby is imminent and I'll be onto test-driving double prams and what-nots before you know it. So, introducing my most-used baby-transporter of the year, the...
My forehead, for some reason, is as dry as a bone. This happened in my last pregnancy, too, so I'm not that surprised, but it's so dry that few things can even touch it when it comes to moisturisation. Even layering a moisturising spritz (pah!) with a hydrating serum...
Something a bit different, this week, because I've recorded my pregnancy diary on video. Lazy? Perhaps, but it has been one of those trying times when the whole household has been ill and I've been trying to keep my head above water! Sorry to those who catch up...
It was my birthday on Monday - I was thirty-six. I decided to ramble on about it a bit in a vlog, which I have stuck to the page below for your viewing pleasure. The day was a bit of a washout because Mr AMR was stuck in bed with a cough and cold - he very bravely...
If you're stuck for baby and toddler Christmas present ideas, here are just a few ideas I've collated. I do a big series of gift guides on A Model Recommends (you can find them here) and along the way, this year, I noted down good things for children. More...
I've had a bit of help with this teen girl gift guide; massive thanks to Rosalie who sat with me and went through all of the things she would be pleased (or not pleased) to receive as a Christmas present, and then did exactly the same thing putting herself in her...
As you well know if you're a long-term reader of A Model Recommends, I am strictly low-maintenance when it comes to my nails. I mostly wear nude shades, with the occasional red and a very occasional "off-piste" crazy shade, but my focus is usually on keeping my hands...
Time to dig out that shimmery, foil-flecked lipstick you bought back in - er - 1991, because gold is in! And not just because the holiday season looms ever-closer (Christmas always brings a landslide of glittery cosmetic items) but because the rich warmth of the gold...
