Last week I dashed over to Paris to attend an amazing party that celebrated the launch of the Alber Elbaz for Lancome makeup range. You can read my post about the makeup here - I called the post Lancome in Lanvin's Clothing, which I thought was incredibly witty at the...
How to Care for your Hands
An oft-requested feature, this one, but if you're looking for manicure tips then I'm afraid I'll disappoint. I rarely mess about with my own nails in terms of cuticles and so on - I file my nails when I need to, but for serious maintenance of the nail beds I go for a...
My “Perfect Legs” Kit
Two weeks ago, my legs were in a bit of a state. Not at all presentable. As well as my thighs being a bit wibbly, thanks to my many weeks sitting like a slug in front of the computer, I had managed to burn my bottom (don't ask), get bitten by some horrid flea-like...
Seared Ahi Tuna Salad
I have found myself absolutely craving this Ahi Tuna salad recently. I ate it three times whilst staying at the Standard Hotel in Hollywood last year and it was the perfect summer-day dish. Light, fresh, really healthy and the zing from the fennel and grapefruit made...
Pixiwoo Swimming Pool Makeup Tutorial
For those who were asking about a tutorial on my TWO Magazine cover makeup - it's out. Sam from Pixiwoo actually filmed the tutorial on the shoot itself, so it's a nice behind-the-scenes kind of video, as well as being instructive. I say instructive, but there's also...
Ten Great Beauty Products for Under a Tenner
Here are some choice beauty picks for under a tenner. Thank me later. I'm impressed with all of them but have to say that the stand-out products for me are probably the Una Brennan cleanser and the Klorane eye makeup remover. Both used on a very regular basis. But...
Simple Sultry Summer Look…
This is the video that accompanies my latest feature for the Telegraph - Luxury Summer Makeup Treats. I'll link to that piece at the bottom of the page - it's a roundup of my favourite high-end bits and bobs for this season. Delights include the new cream shadow from...
Visionnaire Foundation and Other Items of Interest
As promised, a video with some of my current makeup favourites in action. You can see the Sunday Riley Primer and the Lancome Visionnaire Foundation being applied as well as a brilliant new bronzer from the Body Shop and a little cream blush from Bourjois. On the...
May Beauty Favourites
I look as though I'm drinking body lotion from the pot in the above photograph: I can promise you I'm not. Just sniffing. It's hard not to sniff the Almond Milk Concentrate from l'Occitane. It's one of my all-time favourite beauty products ever, ever, ever. I must be...
Video: My Day at the TV BAFTAs
An extra little bit of footage for you from my day at the TV BAFTAs - you can see Mark Hill styling my hair, me on the red carpet, lots of little snippets and video clips. If you want to find out more about my dress and you missed Wednesday's post then you can read...
The Story of a Dress
Ten whole years ago I did a lookbook shoot for a (then) fledgling dress designer called Jenny Packham. It was quite common, early on in my modelling career, to be given clothes in lieu of payment when I did certain jobs - as a "new face" you tend to do a lot of work...
How I Got Rid Of My Adult Acne
This post is very much a continuation of an earlier subject: I mentioned a couple of months ago that I had found a link between my bad skin breakouts and drinking milk. No milky, no breakouts. If you want to read more about that then the first post is here. Please do...
