Pregnancy Beauty Tips for Glowing Skin…

This video was originally entitled "Pregnancy Skincare Habits I'm Keeping!" but it was all a bit sensational and you know how I like to stay low-key... So we're onto Pregnancy Beauty Tips for Glowing Skin, which is very accurate because my skin has been glowing like a...

Clinique Lip Pop: Lipstick for Learners

Clinique Lip Pop: Lipstick for Learners

I was sold on the Clinique Lip Pop Colour and Primer Lipstick the moment I first put one on - it has just the most buttery, smooth and sumptuous texture and the colours are punchy and bright. Application is almost foolproof. If ever there was a "lipstick for learners"...

Summer Beauty Products: Part 3 of About 3,245.

Summer Beauty Products: Part 3 of About 3,245.

OK look, this is probably the last of these funny little "summer beauty products" posts now; I had fun doing my colour-coded still life pictures but it's getting beyond a joke! I must stop! Though I have to say I'm particularly proud of this one - I can tell you that...

Dior Tie Dye: Tan Glow Enhancing Powder

Dior Tie Dye: Tan Glow Enhancing Powder

I don't mind telling you that this blush and I got off to a bit of a rocky start. I applied it all over my face like a maniac, thinking that I'd given myself a "healthy glow" when in fact I'd turned myself orange. (Cue Mr AMR "what have you done to your face? It's...

KIKO Modern Tribes Maxi Bronzer

KIKO Modern Tribes Maxi Bronzer

There's a bit of a bronzer review "run" at the moment, so do bear with me! I wanted to get them all tested out so that I was ready for the summer - you saw the Guerlain ones yesterday, and there are still a few more to go. Unless Baby AMR emerges before the end of the...

Guerlain Terracotta: Bronzers in a Sexy Summer Shell

Guerlain Terracotta: Bronzers in a Sexy Summer Shell

Bronzer with a "rugged" outer shell? I can get on board with that. Because I do tend to throw my handbag about with gay abandon half the time, accidentally swinging it into brick walls and standing on it and squashing it into impossible spaces in the overhead locker...

Best of the “Budget” Stretch Mark Oils…

Best of the “Budget” Stretch Mark Oils…

When I say "budget" I suppose I mean "more affordable than the really swanky ones". Because you can get all sorts of different body oils aimed at stretch mark prevention - many of them quite plain, verging on being overpriced carrier oils, some of them blended with...

Exfoliating Skincare: Philosophy Renewed Hope In A Jar

Exfoliating Skincare: Philosophy Renewed Hope In A Jar

I mentioned Philosophy's Renewed Hope In A Jar in the May Favourites, but it most certainly deserves its own post. This is turning out to be a very promising day cream for those looking for something that will renew and refine the skin, tackle fine lines and make dull...

May Beauty Favourites

There are some real product raves in this month's video roundup, but if you're an avid reader here on A Model Recommends I'm afraid you'll have already heard me bang on about quite a lot of them. Gems such as the Goddess Skin mask from Charlotte Tilbury (here),...

Summer Beauty Products: Part 2 of About 3,245.

I will readily admit that I've gone a bit gah-gah for the idea of summer; I can't wait to sit in my garden (if I ever get back to my house to sit in my garden!) and feel the warm sun on me as I quietly work my way through the pile of novels I have waiting. (Obviously...

Best Cooling Leg and Foot Creams…

Best Cooling Leg and Foot Creams…

I've done some preliminary research into cooling foot creams and gels before - you may remember last summer, when I praised the benefits of Weleda's Foot Balm - but I had never really seen the point of them. Until now. Late pregnancy, one and a half weeks to go until...

Sensitive Skin Care: The Simplest of Face Oils

Those searching for beautifully simple facial oils, look no further; the below are just about as unadorned as facial oils get. If you find that you're sensitive to essential oils, or just prefer a more purist approach to your skincare regime, then the three I've...
