5 Most-Used Beauty Products: May 2018

5 Most-Used Beauty Products: May 2018

I'm going to do a bit more of a written accompaniment than usual to this month's "most used" video; I filmed the video at my Mum's whilst enduring a minor hangover (two glasses of prosecco, rock and roll) and there were some important things I forgot to talk about....

Lumiere Essentielle and The Two New Additions… | AD

Lumiere Essentielle and The Two New Additions… | AD

Darphin have two brand new additions to their Lumiere Essentielle skincare range and they are absolutely gorgeous. Luxe-feeling, sweet-smelling and perfect for the summer months. There's a micellar cleanser, light in texture but rich in beautiful essential oils, and a...

The Budget-Friendly Suit-All Simple Cleansing Oil

The Budget-Friendly Suit-All Simple Cleansing Oil

I picked up this not-insubstantial bottle of face-cleansing oil for two pounds. Two pounds! Granted, it was on offer (this was last year, I've never seen it as cheap since) but even at the full retail price of £6.99, it's still quite the bargain. I'm not sure what to...

Glycolic Peel Pads: The Thirty Day Challenge | AD

Glycolic Peel Pads: The Thirty Day Challenge | AD

Most of you know that my love affair with acid exfoliants - in particular glycolic acid - is fairly long-standing. I like the ease with which an AHA exfoliant (for that is what it is, if you want the fancy name) slips into your skincare routine and I especially like...

My Favourite Beach-In-A-Bottle Fragrances

My Favourite Beach-In-A-Bottle Fragrances

I'm really in the mood for a bit of high-summer fragrance, at the moment. I think it's because we keep getting these little pockets of surprise hot weather; one day it's drizzly and grim and then the next it's absolutely baking and you have to pop inside to put...

My Three Key Hair Styles | AD

My Three Key Hair Styles | AD

The smell of Elnett hairspray is the smell of my twenties. The smell of my entire modelling career, really, wherever in the world it has taken me. Because I can't think of many photoshoots I've been at where there hasn't been a cloud of Elnett escaping through the...

The High Street Mascara with High-End Performance

The High Street Mascara with High-End Performance

Last week I wrote about my non-surgical eye lift revelation which was, probably to many people's disappointment, simply the power of a good mascara. No trickery, no miracle-promising skincare ingredients, just simple lash definition and a bit of lift at the roots to...

The Non-Surgical Eye Lift

The Non-Surgical Eye Lift

OK, you have to bear with me here, because the revelation that follows is so unbelievably obvious I'm almost embarrassed to post about it. What we have here isn't some new-fangled eye cream ingredient or a fancy, muscle-toning massage move. It's not an optical...

Sunscreen Review: Vichy Tan Enhancing Solar Protective Water

Sunscreen Review: Vichy Tan Enhancing Solar Protective Water

Sunscreen reviews: it's been a while. Mainly because (until recently) I hadn't been anywhere hot for almost four years. And to properly test out sun protection, to really get to grips with the texture and the effectiveness and the pros and the cons of a particular...

HUGE Announcement: Colab with Little Mix!

HUGE Announcement: Colab with Little Mix!

As you will know, if you've been following A Model Recommends for any length of time, I'm a very proud founder of the Colab dry shampoo brand. It seems like only yesterday that we launched it, with a star-studded party in East London (I had found out that I was...
