I warned you that it was all go until Christmas: two new things for you to get excited about. If you like babies. If you don't like babies and would rather prong your eyeballs out with a fork than look at pictures of them, videos of them or read any kind of chat about...
I think that many of you might have guessed at this news already; trying to keep something like this a secret when you write about yourself on a regular basis (and appear in videos, in other people's videos and on Instagram!) is nearly impossible. Let's not beat...
Not only did I draft this review at the beginning of the year and then forget to edit and publish it, I went to a load of trouble trying to obtain an old version of Dior's Diorskin Forever foundation so that I could do a comparison with this new one and then - about...
This post is rather niche, so my apologies in advance. If you don't have a dog then you'll probably want to simply go no further and - perhaps, if you're after more reading material - click on over to the new post I've written on The Uphill. If you have a dog and you...
Every time I log in to write one of these updates I think to myself please let me have uploaded something since the LAST update post! Time just goes so fast. All my working hours seem to get sucked into A Model Recommends. But change is afoot, dear readers, for I am...
Perhaps "dupe" isn't quite the right word to use here; "alternative" is far more accurate, but it doesn't sound as good in my title! The Eye Duty Triple Remedy Gel Cream from First Aid Beauty isn't by any means a copy of Sisley's amazing Eye Contour Mask - it isn't a...
The AMR Family (Me, Mr, Baby, Dog - no Cat) has just returned from an impromptu mini-holiday on the Isle of Wight. Four nights in a slightly damp and musty cottage, two days of sunshine and two of rain. The typical British summer holiday, then, if a little on the...
Here it is: my verdict on the Victoria Beckham makeup collaboration with Estée Lauder. What I like, what I don't - what I'd spend cash on and, importantly, how I'd wear it all. There's a video at the bottom of the page, which is possibly the key element of this...
You may have noticed that moisturiser reviews have been a bit thin on the ground, recently; that's because I've been in my "testing laboratory" phase again, which is when I try my very best to stick to just one product. (Rarely do I manage more than a week or so...
This, my friends, is the Buddha Beauty Bowl from Madeleine Shaw’s recipe book, Ready Steady Glow. Not my usual kind of lunch (mainly because it’s not sandwiched inside two enormous chunks of buttered bread or topped with a fat ball of mozzarella) but boy did I enjoy...
My magpie eye has been caught by two very different makeup collections this week; the first, a collaboration between Estee Lauder and Victoria Beckham, will be described in detail (and shown on video) in a few days’ time. But suffice to say, for now, that it is...
Exciting things afoot for Colab dry shampoo. It has just been voted the very best in its category by Stylist magazine - the dust-free formula and beautiful range of scents completely won the judges over and the Colab team now have a very funky perspex trophy to...
