The Facial Radiance Intensive Peel from First Aid Beauty has flown straight into my shortlist of fast-working, effective face masks. It's a clay-based acid peel that brightens, smooths and gives an instant glow - as well giving the feeling that your old face has been...
I'm still keeping myself amused with the bobbly-shafted Wonderball waver from Lee Stafford. Not in the biblical sense - let's keep things clean! - but it has been presenting me with plenty of opportunity for a bit of immature banter. "Have you felt my cool-touch...
One of my first (and best) discoveries as a beauty blogger wasn't a single pot of magical cream, or a little tube of face-changing foundation. I wasn't hooked in by just one eye gel, or bowled-over by a lone cleanser - I was far greedier than that. I fell in love,...
Brilliant skincare brand Alpha-H are celebrating their 21st birthday this summer and as a special treat for readers of A Model Recommends, they're giving away twenty-one pots of their incredible new night treatment, the Beauty Sleep Power Peel. I love Alpha-H for...
I've been pulling a few cleansing and exfoliating bits and pieces out from "the archives" recently; products that I've tried before and loved, but haven't - for one reason or another - given my full attention. For the past month or so I've had the One-Minute Glow...
It is always a pleasure to feature products from Alpha-H; their effective, problem-solving skincare has never failed to impress me. In fact one of their hero products, Liquid Gold, gave me my first beauty "Eureka" moment - never before had I seen such instant results...
I haven't really gone on too much about my "pregnancy" skin; mostly because, if truth be known, all has been quite plain-sailing. Actually, I'd go one better than that and say that my skin throughout pregnancy (apart from a few dodgy months at the start) has been the...

I'm clearing out my beauty room before house renovations begin (don't even ask why I'm going ahead with building work when I'm having a baby in four-months-and-one-week's time!) and I keep discovering very interesting little boxes filled with skincare for various...
For those of you who were keen to find out about the Cult Beauty goody bag: here are the contents. My eye was particularly drawn to the 50ml bottle of Alpha-H Liquid Gold and the 10ml Start Over eye cream from Sunday Riley, worth around £17 and £22 respectively....
Facial pads. Little flimsy rounds of cotton, soaked with strong-smelling stuff that is prone to making your eyes water... God, these bring back memories! Who else had the Clearasil pads when they were a teen? Double-sided - one side like sandpaper, the other only...
Kicking off the new week with some brilliant, powerful face masks. These are the kind of masks that you can rely on to give your skin a proper overhaul in a very short amount of time; brightening, smoothing and plumping, brilliant for erasing signs of fatigue or...
