What’s in my Bathroom Drawer?

What’s in my Bathroom Drawer?

OK, listen. I'll admit right now that I thought this idea was a bit stupid; it's kind of a YouTube obsession. People show viewers their 'collections' of makeup and how they store it. Personally, I cannot think of anything more boring than watching whole minutes of...

A Dozen Red Roses. Kinda.

A Dozen Red Roses. Kinda.

My hypocrisy knows no bounds: I moan about people 'cashing in' on Valentine's yet I always expect a present. Or at least a card. I won't apologise for this, it's just one of my many personality defects. As a lover of all things rose-scented, I thought that I'd put...

January Beauty Round-Up

January Beauty Round-Up

I've been very slack with my monthly beauty Round-Ups, sorry! Twitter followers will know that I've been in bed for a week (over a week, actually, now) with a bad chest infection, but I slapped on some makeup to film the video below because I thought you might be...

My Haircare Routine

My Haircare Routine

This video is pretty self-explanatory, I think - it describes my hair routine from washing to the end of drying.  If you're reading this on your daily email you may have to click through to the website to watch the video - I didn't realise this before, so sorry for...

Winter Skincare Routine

Winter Skincare Routine

I have been a bit slack at making videos recently, but I managed to pull myself together at the weekend and actually film something! This particular vid has been on the agenda for a while, but it hasn't (until now) been cold enough to justify making a winter skincare...

Video Scrapbook: Marrakech Fashion Shoot

Video Scrapbook: Marrakech Fashion Shoot

I had a load of random video clips from my trip to Morocco last week, so I sat there for ages and thought, how can I possibly make something publishable from this old pile of crud? This is the result! Haha, I jest, somewhat, it's not really a pile of crud, but when I...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Just a very quick note to thank you all for your support and kind words this year - A Model Recommends wouldn't exist if you didn't read it! I appreciate all of your comments and messages, I look forward to them every day. I wish you and your families and friends an...

Diamonds and Rubies Festive Makeup Tutorial!

Diamonds and Rubies Festive Makeup Tutorial!

 Ha! I look a little bit like I'm sticking my middle finger up at you don't I? Not intentional. That's just my lip-gloss-patting pose! A nice little makeup video to round off the pre-Christmas festivities. It makes a change from bloody gift guides and such! All of the...

Three Ways to Wear a Little Black Dress

Three Ways to Wear a Little Black Dress

 I am over the moon with my little black dress from BA&SH at Monica & Joe! I think it's really classy! I've made a little video of myself wearing it three different ways - a little chic ballet look, a Robert Palmer-esque glam look and a more grungey biker...

Babyliss Curling Wand

Babyliss Curling Wand

After the success of the Babyliss Big Hair (the best hair tool in the world) I was quite keen to try out the curling wand. I have been testing out a few wands recently (more on that in the new year) but the Babyliss is extraordinarily great value at just £25. A huge...

Three Ways to Wear Red Lipstick

Three Ways to Wear Red Lipstick

 I'm not a habitual red lipstick-wearer, my personal preference being a slick of tinted balm or a nude-ish lip shade, but 'tis the festive season (ugh) and I thought I'd do some jazzing up of my makeup routine. Surprisingly, I am now more than a little bit partial to...

Festive Treats for Hands and..er..Feets.

Festive Treats for Hands and..er..Feets.

Yes, I know 'feets' is not grammatically correct, I just liked the rhyme going on! Treats for Hands and Feets. Possibly a slightly odd category for the Gift Guide, but I think it's a good one. There are millions of women out there obsessed with their hands -or more...
