It’s not so much the colour of this polish that I’m recommending here, but the formula and finish. It goes on so easily – really quickly and smoothly. You only need one coat if you’re not a perfectionist, so it’s great if you just want to get your nails looking groomed and then run out…
As with the previous tutorial, I’m guessing that the title is self-explanatory here, but just in case; the following is a video about how to trim your fringe. The professional way. Once again, Kenna from Kennaland talks us through step-by-step, and if you make it to the end, you’ll even see some out-takes. Which aren’t…
I love the smell of roses, so I did a video on it. It’s as simple as that, really. I left loads of stuff out, both by accident and necessarily, because it would have ended up taking three days to watch it. So there will be a sequel, do not fear. Or do fear, if…
I’m going into Valentine’s overdrive now, which I apologise for. Any excuse to talk about lush, luxurious products! This one missed the video, but would have been a brilliant addition; Brenda Anvari’s Valentine Box. It could be named the ‘Anytime Box’ because there’s nothing sickly sweet or flowery about the scent of these products –…
The Valentine’s Gift Guide has arrived – forward this link to whoever it is that’s going to be doing the gift-buying! Watch the video yourselves as well, obviously! It’s over on Ape to Gentleman… VALENTINE’S GIFT GUIDE: JUST GIVE THIS SENTENCE A LITTLE CLICK!
Sorry to do this to you people, but there’s another Chanel hit this week. I know that many of you have a problem with Chanel in that you are compelled beyond all sensibility and reason to buy everything and anything displaying the Double-C logo – and I feel your plight. I really do. But I’m…
Oops. This video has been sat around for…quite a while. As you can probably tell, it being entitled “Winter Skincare Tips” and not “Nearly Springtime Skincare Tips.” It’s a bit of a rambling one, this, but it looks at quite a few products that I haven’t yet written about here on A Model Recommends. So…
Just a quick one – I quite like this mascara. I got given a few ‘budget’ mascaras on a beauty shoot recently and I have been working my way through them. Most have ended up in the dreaded ‘Sin Bin’, but this particular one from Prestige Cosmetics has made the cut. It’s supposed to be…
Apologies for the massive headband in this video – it was all I could find. My fringe does my head in if I leave it down when I do my makeup, so I suffocate it underneath tight swaddling until it’s safe to let it out. I first saw this makeup collection a couple of months…
Finally my Swatch campaign has launched! I shot this with Rankin a couple of months ago, but at the time I couldn’t really say what I was shooting because it was all hush-hush. But here I am! Thanks to the eagle-eyed few who spotted it before me – and please do take a little photo…
I have problems with high heels. Which is unfortunate, considering that I’m a fashion model. I simply cannot walk (at all!) in heels that are too high, and sometimes on fashion shoots you can see me
I have been testing out the new Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks and all I can say is adorable. That can be said in a French or English accent; I don’t mind. These lipsticks are simply gorgeous – the word that keeps springing to mind is luscious. Glossy, moisturising and sheeny, they have more colour…
I’m in Hamburg and so far the experience has been a little bit of a ‘mixed bag’. 4.30am start yesterday but didn’t begin shooting the cover for Flair magazine until about 5pm – forgot to take my Kindle to the studio and hadn’t charged my iPhone so I was bored beyond belief! In addition to…
Another nice shampoo for those of you on the continuous hunt for SLS- and SLES-free products; Happy Hair Days Thickening Shampoo. This one lathers amazingly well, has a really zingy and revitalising smell and the formula itself feels cool and refreshing on the scalp. It doesn’t leave my hair feeling squeaky and ‘stripped’ – once…
I have a new shoot out in Upstyler Magazine. (Not a ‘shoot-out’, that’s something that happens in cowboy films.) For more pictures, go and have a little browse of the magazine, it’s online HERE!
The title of this post should speak for itself, really – it’s a tutorial, given by top stylist Kenna of Kennaland (celebrity client list as long as your arm) on how to style a fringe that’s too long, or you’re growing out. If you have a fringe, you’ll know that this scenario arises practically every…
Get excited, people, because I am about to literally rave about something, and that something is the Bespoke Perfumery service at Floris. Amazing. Utterly, utterly incredible. If you are looking to buy someone something that is unique, luxurious and unbeatably romantic, then this is it. The experience of having your own perfume made for you…
“Mmm. Elemis. Is it fair to review Elemis for my Friday Flash? I’m not sure it is, really – I’m so biased! I love it already, and I haven’t even opened the box yet. End of review.” [Break for three days where I ponder whether or not I can be objective about Elemis.] “Try again….
