General opinion on cleansing waters is divided. There are those that love them, and those that think spending money on ‘what comes out of the tap’ is completely idiotic. Personally, I love them. They are the ultimate in lazy cleansing – I suppose the only improvement would be if you could ‘spray’ them on and…
I don’t know whether or not you’ve noticed this yet, but I love cosmetics made with Rose. Love. I don’t know whether or not the scent triggers off early memories for me or something, but I just adore the smell. And it’s not just the scent that gets me; it’s the effect that rose has…
The video below shows how I have been dealing with oily skin over the last couple of weeks. I tend to get oiliness for one week of the month – more if I have been testing a load of rich, heavy products – and I try to adapt my skincare regime to deal with the…
I’d like to make it clear that this is not my bathroom, just in case you didn’t read the title properly. This is the bathroom of my room at the Radisson Blu in Birmingham, where I have been staying whilst presenting shows at Style Birmingham. If this was my bathroom, there would no doubt be…
Chanel has rather thrown a spanner in the works of my ‘hunt for a new tinted moisturiser’. I had thought, possibly rather naively, that I would go on hunting for the perfect formula until I had exhausted testing out every single brand; relentlessly applying, reapplying, jogging on treadmills, battling through the wind and rain to…
I have used Caudalie products ever since I first started modelling. A friend, who also happened to be a booker at a top Paris agency, left her Caudalie foaming cleanser at my house and I forgot to return it (sorry!) and ever since then, I’ve been hooked! I find the products to be very gentle,…
This is one post where you really have to watch the video to fully appreciate the transformation. I give myself five minutes (a little longer due to the practicalities of filming) to change myself from a hungover wreck to something presentable enough to attend a casting. I’ll be absolutely honest here: this is not me…
I’ve never been great at doing my eyes – although I do tend to set my standards rather high, comparing my skills to those of the makeup artists who work on me day after day! When they effortlessly create a fierce smokey eye, or an incredible metallic lid, I just watch (through the other eye,…
Last week, my trusted hairdryer finally gave up on life. It had a tough upbringing, my hairdryer; in its five years, I had thrown it down the stairs, used its head as a door-stop, almost drowned it in the sink, kicked it across the room when it got in the way… Yet it stuck with…
My latest article for your perusal. Just a little summary of my beauty routine over the last couple of weeks. I say the word ‘ridiculously’ three times, which is because I was ridiculously tired when I was editing. If it annoys you, just mentally swap in the word ‘bloody’ – or something stronger if you…
This is my new bronzing brush from Aveda. It’s real name is ‘Uruku’, but I have nicknamed it ‘Stumpy’. Stumpy is the latest addition to my makeup bag, and a very welcome one indeed, because it means that I can now make my beauty baggage even more compact than it was before! Being a model…
I am SO glad that I stumbled across this home facial kit from Murad! It’s a vitamin C skin treatment that really has instant results. I don’t want to spoil the video for you, so just for now, let’s compare two different scenarios – the aim in both is that you have brighter, tighter, fresher…
God I wish I was going on holiday. Just to use this product. This lavender and peppermint bath and shower oil (pour a tiny capful into a bath, or rub a tiny capful over your body before showering) cures just about everything that I associate with going away to a hot country. Feeling hot and…
On Tuesday I went with my extremely fashionable sister (Crilly Style) to the opening of the new Bertie store on South Molton Street. We perused the new collection, which was genuinely fantastic. I have a general problem with shoes: I like them high and sexy, but can never walk in them. I look better wearing…
I was wondering this week whether or not anyone ever goes to the doctor about their nails. As in, ‘Doctor, Doctor; I think I’ve broken a nail! And I’ve chipped my Chanel – it was Paradoxal!’ I’d like to see someone try that on with my Doctor – bloody hell, she’d throw them out of…
I’m always in plaid shirts. I bloody love them. They allow me to wear a bit of colour and pattern in a non-scary way (I’m extremely scared of most things that aren’t grey, black or breton-striped) and they fit the whole tousled, cowgirl vibe that I like to work. So I’m very happy that they’re…
This moisturising gel has to be one of the most refreshing products that I have ever tried! For very oily skins, it’s an absolute dream. Not only does it tighten pores and help to reduce shine, it delivers all of the moisture that your skin needs! You would think that ‘deep moisture’ would be the…
