Pamplemousse Rhubarbe sounds much better than "Grapefruit and Rhubarb", doesn't it? The French version makes me think of a delicious dessert with clouds of light meringue and some kind of tart, brightly-coloured sauce drizzled over the top. Or an amazingly light and...
Skincare rave coming up, brace yourselves: Peter Thomas Roth's Pumpkin Enzyme Mask. This stuff is like beauty dynamite! In a good way, obviously. It's a proper fixer-upper, a true SOS treatment, a product that should be included in every single one of those "red...
This month's beauty favourites - and a book. You already know about the book - Career of Evil - because I wrote about it on Sunday, but it was worth an extra mention because I'm now 60% of the way through and it's brilliant. Very dark and disturbing, but a proper...
Testing out retinol serums and creams had been next on my "skincare to-do list" - retinol seems to be a genuine super-ingredient that has been proven to help fine lines and wrinkles, increase collagen production and help the skin to look and feel younger; but then I...
Another one for fans of the "my skin looks loads better but I'm not sure how or why" powders. Many see these brush-on complexion enhancers as being a bit pointless, but I, for one, can definitely see the difference when I use my Les Beiges or Hourglass Ambient...
A few weeks ago I embarked on a bit of a mission: to improve the quality of my sleep. It would be completely unrealistic to expect to be able to get more sleep, because I have a new baby and am juggling work, family and a dog who likes to get up to do a wee in the...
My Colab Luxe Shine hair fragrance is out! Sorry for the delay, I think I was slightly premature with my excitement when I started doing a song and a dance about it a few weeks ago. But you can now find it at both Superdrug and Feelunique - it's £4.99 for a 200ml can...
I'll be back with more shade details on the new Steven Klein/NARS collaboration when it comes out in a week or so - it's very, very covetable. Though I seem to be a sucker for things featuring the work of great fashion photographers - must be something to do with my...
Apologies in advance for my "before and after" photos (below): I didn't ever think I'd be zooming in so close, so I have millions of bits all over my face! Just to clarify, the black bits aren't flakes of this mascara, they are - shamefully - tiny flecks of mascara...
It's that time of year again; Space NK give you £15 off when you spend £60 so that you can try something new. Actually, that time of year has been and gone, because the main event finished earlier this week, but I have an exclusive code just for readers of A Model...
It's fair to say that I've gone a bit bath-crazy over the past few weeks. One a day, if I can manage it - perhaps even two, if Mr AMR is home and can watch the baby so that I can have a completely responsibility-free soak. I'll probably calm down with the soaks soon,...
L'Occitane are running a nice campaign at the moment; visit the My Beauty Story website and answer three quick questions about you and your skin and you'll be recommended one of four lovely moisturisers to try for free. I'm a total sucker for miniature beauty and the...
