I told you this week would be rather heavy on the Chanel, but I couldn't write about their amazing Nail Gloss without then going on to reveal the ins and outs of the new autumn launch, Le Rouge Collection No.1. (If you're astute and read between the lines, here,...
I've rediscovered my cooking mojo, after more than a year of being almost completely disinterested in doing anything in the pots and pans department. My fall from culinary grace began when we moved out of our house and into a series of short-term lets (seems a...
My summer of giveaways continues with an absolutely brilliant one from Rapid White: they are offering A Model Recommends readers* the chance to win one of FIVE Pro Clean & Polish devices for a hygienist-at-home, deep-clean experience. Rapid White's new Clean &...
After many, many years of producing the most brilliant nail polish shades but in a sub-par, easy-chip formula, Chanel have completely revamped their nail offering and it's good. It's really good. The new longwear polishes are just that - longwear, with the nude shade...
I've just found an unpublished review of the Genius Ultimate Anti-Aging Melting Cleanser in my drafts folder. The only reason I can think of for this not making it into the wider world is that the date of last edit is the day before I went into labour with my baby -...
I've finally done my "unboxing" video after keeping my new Chanel bag hidden at the back of the wardrobe since early May. I'll admit that I've been too scared to open the box. Firstly because the bag was so bloody expensive and I find that if I buy something frivolous...

I have used Pai Skincare products for years - they specialise in formulating for very sensitive and intolerant skin and, though I don't have particularly touchy skin at all, there are certain products I've relied on to keep my face on an even keel during times of...
My lipstick of the summer seems to be a shade that's somehow entirely inappropriate for the hotter months. Whilst the rest of the beauty world wears the hot oranges and fiery reds, enhancing their sunkissed skin and getting away with just a slick of lipstick and a...
After quite a long spell of using mostly high street complexion powders in my daily makeup routine (I've been doing research, watch this space) I'm rather pleased to be reunited with a bit of luxe. There are so many brilliant bronzers and blushers and face powders...
July favourites, including a response to some of the comments on my Best Budget Foundations video and one new product that I just don't get. I don't usually include dislikes in my favourites videos (mainly because they are supposed to be about things I love) but this...
Look, I know a new shirt isn't big news, but I have to be honest: not a lot has happened this week. That I want to write about, at any rate. The quick dip into my local H&M was a definite highlight (as was the chocolate and salted caramel milkshake from Five...
