I think that Chanel's new Les Beiges Healthy Glow Makeup is an absolute triumph of a foundation relaunch. It's so tweaked that it's barely the same product. I didn't ever properly review the original Healthy Glow foundation because - to get straight to the point - I...
In what might be considered the rebrand of the century, the monthly 5 Beauty Favourites feature has now become... *drumroll* ...5 Favourites. It took me a hell of a long time to come up with the new title format and so please do show your appreciation in the comments...
A giant white moth just flew at my window as I started to type this life update, and I'm not sure what sort of omen that represents. I almost had a heart attack when its huge wings hit the glass and was forced to immediately raid my desk drawers for something edible...
We are still rather discombobulated here, in the City of Bath. Our rented house is utter chaos, mainly due to the fact that I am using 90% of it as my office/storage facility and have beauty products on every available surface, but also because we are hesitant to...
I'm having just a little bit of a wobble about Ted's continued night-wakings and the fact that we can't seem to break the cycle. We've tried formula, a bit of controlled crying, we've tried going in and not feeding him, we've tried feeding him on every little whim......
I have been desperately trying to divert attention away from my undereye circles by smudging on loads of eyeliner. An old trick utilised quite frequently in my more hedonistic (read youthful) modelling days, when I used to think nothing of staying out at a party until...
I feel as though I've done a lot of fashion posts recently and I think it's because I can finally fit into my clothes without having to lie on the floor and/or use a plastic shoehorn to tuck my tummy into my trousers. It's far more enjoyable browsing for things online...
There seems to be a bit of a thing for longwear foundation launches at the moment, and I have a handful of those that I'm testing on rotation, but I wanted to kick off this run of reviews with Dior's new Diorskin Forever Perfect Mousse. Although it actually...
I have a bag in my office filled with empty shampoo and body wash bottles, finished tubes of face lotion, cleaned-out tubs of cream. An outsider would think they had stumbled upon some sort of secret hoarding problem; regular readers of A Model Recommends would know...
I've been back on the foundation testing train (first scheduled stop, Dior's new Forever Perfect Mousse, toot-toot!) but before I hit you with a slew of in-depth reviews, let's talk about the chunky brush I've been applying my bases with for the past few months....
I find myself with another metal-and-plastic monstrosity in the living room (though it's a different living room, as we're still in our temporary house in Bath): the Fisher Price Roaring Rainforest Jumperoo*. A nightmarish jumble of primary colours, it's the...
I've had a very odd week in which I've found myself plunged, rather prematurely, into a state of Christmas excitement. It started with the delivery of a pre-lit Christmas tree from Next (I can highly recommend one of these if you hate pine needles dropping everywhere...
I didn't realise when I wrote about my new Louboutin Moulamax boots that they already had a bit of an online reputation. They received quite a lot of press coverage earlier this year, pre-launch, when stylist Samantha McMillen posted an Instagram showing what happened...
When This Works approached me to collaborate with them on a special sleep project, I didn't even wait to hear the finer details: I just said yes. Because they had me at the word "sleep". Because I don't really get very much of it, as you'll know if you're a regular...
Not since the Chanel bag debacle have I made such a frivolous and unnecessary purchase, but man have these Moulamax* sequin boots made me feel quite fabulous! I know that it's both incredibly shallow and financially reckless to splash out on a pair of sequinned disco...
