Well I do hope that you're all having a lovely little break? I'm afraid I'm doing a bit of a fast-forward to the future (albeit near future) and talking about the New Year - or New Year's Eve to be more specific - and some glitzy, shiny makeup that'll get you in the...
You've heard me say enough times that I simply can't be bothered with high-maintenance eyebrows; to be quite honest, I don't even like the look of high-maintenance, perfectly-shaped eyebrows. Not on myself, at least. So I'll be damned if I'm going to spend half an...
Just a quickie, as they say in the business (I have no idea what business I'm on about but I've just had a rare but much-needed can of full fat Coke and the caffeine has gone to my head): Josh Wood's Precious Blonde shampoo and conditioner. This is the second set of...
I must confess to having not done very well with my stretch-mark-oil testing duties, this pregnancy. I've been on the body balms instead (a round-up of those is imminent) even though oils are, I would suspect, slightly more effective when it comes to keeping the skin...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
There's a bumper skincare crop in this month's favourites, as promised. Not as bumper as it could be, but my legs had completely fallen asleep during the making of this video and then I got to that stage where the blood starts to flow back in and it's impossible...
Oh, we're knee-deep in this whole headache-inducing Black Friday business, which seems to now start on a Wednesday and last until a Tuesday, but still manages to fill me with excitement because: DISCOUNTS. Discounts are basically my downfall - give me any kind of...
I suspect there'll be some sort of online meltdown on the 10th January because - brace yourselves - that's the day that Caroline Hirons' first ever skincare product will go on sale. If you are an avid Hirons follower (to be honest, I don't know of any other type -...
