What Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

Gorge, gorge

It’s finally the weekend, and with the Platinum VIP Style Awards right around the corner, we’ve been busy busy.

But we’ve still had time to enjoy some bits and pieces.

Here they are.

… Incredible fragrances

Summer is coming, and what better time to indulge in a new fragrance than the changing of the seasons?

Team STELLAR was lucky enough to meet Ormonde Jayne founder Linda Pilkington this week, and learn all about her luxurious, independent, and totally gorgeous perfumery.

Ormonde Jayne is known for exotic scents – fragrances that are timeless and reflective of Linda’s grá for travel. The brand’s newest collection, Reimagined, is a little different.

The collection reimagines all four corners of the world and bottles them into three beautiful scents, each with its own story and depth.

The celestial Bijou Zafran has to be our favourite. Linda describes it as “magic in a bottle” and it really is, with top notes of pear and saffron, and a soul including musk and sandalwood.

The perfect fragrance for those long summer nights, exploring new places, and slowly coming home. Find out more here. 

… A good facial

The Platinum VIP Style Awards are a mere day (!) away, and we’ve been busy prepping, scheduling, and of course, getting red carpet ready.

Kerry Hanaphy Clinic (who are also this year’s Look of the Year sponsor) now host the Glacé Facial from Candela, and it’s sure to leave your skin looking and feeling gorgeous.

The treatment combines microdermabrasion, hydro-infusion, and sculpting for those much talked about ‘glass skin’ results, with absolutely zero downtime.

This facial is non-invasive, and completely painless, and leaves you with an instant glow. The perfect pre-awards treat.

Kerry Hanaphy have just opened up their newest clinics in Nutgrove and Cork. You can find out more, and book yourself a treatment, here. 

… Collagen crumb

Some people inject collagen. Others drink it. Some sprinkle it over their porridge in the morning in a tasty chocolate and nutty format.

The latter people are me, as I’ve recently been turned onto Oac, an Irish brand making nutrition a little bit more interesting.

I’ve been having their Collagen Crumb crumbled over my oats and yoghurt, and it’s not only made my meals tastier, it’s also given me an easy way to get more protein.

Collagen isn’t just good for your skin – it’s also paramount in ensuring healthy hair and joints, and even bone density.

And when it tastes as good as this, it’s a win-win. Find out more here.
