I reviewed four of the newest foundation launches for The Telegraph last week; I've popped a link to the full video below so that you can see the face bases in action. Foundation reviews are quite tricky to do, because so much depends on skin type, tone and personal...
If you're a fan of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle (I must say that it's my most-worn Chanel fragrance) then this limited edition coffret might just shoot to the top of your must-haves list. Containing an eau de parfum and a purse spray, it has all bases covered in terms...
For those of you crawling out of hibernation, having a good old stretch, wanting something fresh and light or sunny and new to scent yourselves with: my pick of the Spring Fragrances 2015. Although I have my year-round perfume favourites (Jo Malone's Oud &...
Wonderful British beauty brand Suti have come up with a brilliant - and very generous - giveaway for readers of A Model Recommends. Three readers will win a gorgeous prize for their Mum to surprise them with on Mother's Day; two will receive a full set of beautiful,...
It's time for me to don my Beauty Judge Hat again (or should it be a Beauty Judge wig?) and help to sift out the best products that the industry has to offer. Work-wise, beauty judging is one of my favourite things to do. I really enjoy testing out loads of different...
Now that's a weird old picture, isn't it? Sorry Jo Malone London, it does absolutely nothing to show off your splendid perfume packaging! But this post was always going to be more about books than fragrance, so in a way, the rather muddled imagery is quite apt. It's...
I love finishing stuff off. It gives me a real sense of achievement, which is...sad. Oh well! I've been saving up my empty bottles and tubes ready to do a series of little mini-reviews on the products, and it's all recorded in the video below. There's a lot of hair...
Last week I did a Burberry makeup tutorial, recreating the AW15 show look and revealing a couple of handy smokey eye tricks that their makeup artist, Wendy Rowe, had demonstrated. It actually gave me a good opportunity to really have a proper play around with some of...
I've gone a bit blusher mad recently. I don't know whether it's just because I've done the whole "subtle bit of bronzer under the cheekbones" thing for so long and I fancied a change, or that my pregnancy hormones are sending me a bit off-piste with everything. Either...
Watch the video below to witness a full-on disintegration of my mental faculties. It happens at around three or four o'clock every day and apparently this isn't a temporary pregnancy thing: it stays after the baby has been born! Please someone tell me that their brain...
A completely frivolous and unnecessary beauty stash addition, but I love it nonetheless: Ciaté's Dark Choc Pot Nail Polish Remover. Works in exactly the same way as the Bourjois Magic one (see here for that review); you just stick your fingernail into the pot and the...
I've been working for Burberry* for the past couple of days, following the behind-the-scenes "journey" of the makeup look for the AW15 show. You'll notice, if you scan back through previous Fashion Week posts, that it's the Burberry show that always grabs my...
