In February, it’ll be fourteen years since I posted my first blog on this website. Back then, in 2010, the website was called A Model Recommends and each post was a couple of hundred words long, if that. I just wrote exactly what I thought of a product in the shortest, snappiest way and the images…
OK, this is how it works: as I potter along doing my beauty research stuff, testing everything in the world from eyewateringly expensive face creams to the cheapest brow gels, I make note of any brilliant bargain beauty finds I come across. Until I have five of them listed: and then I make a video….
I’ve started a little series on Instagram that I hope to keep regularly adding posts to; it’s called 3 Best Beauty Buys, which isn’t the most inventive of feature names, but it’ll do what it says on the tin and that’s what counts! I’ve already done a quick IGTV feature on Maskne products (Maskne is the…
Don’t groan; there’s another new title for my (defunct) monthly favourites that I’m testing. Basically the gist of what I’m trying to get across to people, via one lousy title that’s really hard to decide on, is that these are the very best, most effective beauty products of the month.

Click play to find out which beauty products I’ve been using most frequently this month – if you want the spoiler list then it’s below the video pane. I know that some of you secretly read my words when you’re at work and can’t play the videos, or browse through when you’re feeding your baby…
Brain like a sieve… I filmed this video weeks ago and forgot to upload it; my five most-used beauty products for April 2018. A gorgeous healthy-glow foundation (see the full review here), possibly the world’s most expensive bronzer, an anti-wrinkle treatment that might just change your beauty life and a skin-quenching moisturiser that’s perfect for…
I wasn’t actually intending to keep these amazing beauty boxes under wraps for quite so long – there were supposed to be lots of cheeky little hints, advance-warning teasers, annoying “I have a secret announcement coming up but I can’t tell you what it is!” videos. But life got in the way and I only…
