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…
I have spent the past week testing out two products from the l’Occitane’s not-yet-launched Immortelle Divine range. Well, obviously I have been doing other stuff as well. things like working and emailing and planning world domination, but I have most definitely given the Immortelle Divine a good old testing. The ‘Divine Eyes’ and ‘Divine Extract’,…
I can’t quite believe the prices of the cosmetics at ‘e.l.f.’ or ‘eyes lips face’. In the basic range, which has a HUGE selection of products, everything is £1.50. £1.50! When you watch the video below, you’ll hear me say ‘£1.50’ quite a lot, and that’s because I like the way it sounds. £1.50 is…
Sorry; rather a short and lazy post today because I’ve been filming lots of exciting new videos for you and didn’t realise the time! Any-hoo, I saw my good friend Kenna the other night and we were talking about how much my hair had grown this year. It has nearly got back to the length…
All hail “20B” the Goddess of Brushes, for she is the new Queen of my makeup bag. She succeeds the previous Queen, Queen Prescriptives Powder Brush, who after ten long years of service, has finally died. Well, not actually died, but let’s just say she doesn’t have much hair left. I mean bristles. Oh, enough…
This is a pretty nifty little product; a really strong highlighter with a velvety texture, it instantly adds emphasis wherever you apply it. It’s much easier to use than a cream and can be applied using a brush or simply with fingertips. In the video I demonstrate a few different ways of using the luminiser…
By now, you will almost certainly have heard about Liz Earle’s amazing new haircare range; since its launch last week, it’s been featured in countless magazines and blogs, and received heaps of praise from whoever has reviewed it! I was lucky enough to receive a set of shampoo and conditioner a few weeks ago, and…
A Model Recommends gets a lovely mention in this week’s Grazia magazine; I’m very proud to see it there in print. Weird for me to see my name in a magazine rather than my face – and actually about a thousand times more exciting! I’m very proud to see that I’m mentioned alongside some beauty…
Last week I shot in the cutest little cottage for the Christmas edition of a magazine. Ironically, it turned out to be boiling hot, and it felt quite strange to be standing in fake snow, wearing layers of knitwear and a woolly hat! The makeup artist, Dottie, did a lovely job on my makeup; in…
What an annoying title! I’ve even annoyed myself with it, but I simply couldn’t resist. The Models Own product that a Model Owns (sorry!) is a nail polish called Grey Day. I wore it throughout my summer trip to France (when many of the days were, sadly, grey) and I also wore it today to…
At the weekend, I decided to test-run one of Dior’s new Haute Coleur shades – this one, 435, was a pale corally tangerine. Sorry if that means very little in the world of colour descriptions, but it’s the best that I can do. You can see it in the utterly fantastic photo that I took…
This has to be one of the most unglamorous posts in the history of my posts – a mouth ulcer gel. Well, sorry, but it’s necessary. I have to shout about this stuff, because it beats Bonjela a million times over in terms of pain relief and healing power. I didn’t actually have a mouth…
I’m looking for a Creme de la Mer tester. Someone who will give an unbiased opinion at the end of the (very!) short trial. If you’re that person, then please register your interest on my Facebook Fan Page
My hunt for a new tinted moisturiser took a new turn last month, when Nuz Shugaa (my skin guru and facial guardian angel!) recommended that I try Madara’s Tinting Fluid. Madara is a range of beauty products (skin, hair body) that is entirely natural and organic. No nasty surprises in any of their formulas, they’re…
Avene’s Gentle Cleanser has been formulated for sensitive skin, and so you just know from the off that it’s going to be soothing and calming.
When I was tidying my shelves this week, a CD flew out and hit me in the face – and it was my face on the sleeve! I had headbutted myself! Amazing. This is proper sexy, innit? See how they’ve made me into a cartoon version of myself? I vaguely remember posters of this being…
A light cream mask that helps to soothe and revitalise tired eyes.
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a fashion shoot? Well I can tell you that there’s a lot of prodding and faffing that goes on, and obviously a lot of posing! Just for you lovely lot, I have a behind the scenes video of my Pavilions Campaign Shoot. I would…
