Everything Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

Welcome to July.

A month for sun, sand, and seeing what Team STELLAR is loving this week.

Enjoy.

… Skincare ampoules

Never heard of a skincare ampoule before? Me neither, girl.

But I used a couple this week as part of my routine, and it was only gorge.

Dr Haushcka just launched their The Calm & Balance Ampoules – a new way to treat your skin, soothe sensitivity, and reduce redness. All within a teeny tiny bottle.

Simply crack, drip the product onto your finger tips, and press into the skin 4-6 times a year (yes, that infrequently) for skin less prone to redness, and a complexion that appears more even and balanced.

This product contains extracts of borage, pearl, and oak bark which cools and refreshes, particularly after a day in the sun or a breakout. Love.

… A new (or old) way to snap

Fujifilm is celebrating 40 whole years of their iconic QuickSnap™ camera – that’s four whole decades of incredible pics from the world’s first single-use camera, with no effort at all.

To mark the occasion, they’ve announced their expansion of the QuickSnap lineup with two new models: the waterproof QuickSnap Active and the black-and-white film QuickSnap Black.

That means you can make even more incredible memories – now in black and white, and even underwater.

Over the past four decades, QuickSnap has sold more than 1.7 billion units worldwide. In an era dominated by smartphones and instant sharing, it’s still the go-to for so many of us.

These new cameras are scheduled to be available from August and September 2026.

… Summer eats

Meeting up with the gals soon?

Maybe you’re heading on a hot date? Or catching up with family over the summer months?

Dublin’s The Ivy restaurant have just launched Summer Splash, and it’s the perfect excuse to have a few drinkies while the days are long.

From now until Sunday 19 July, guests dining at The Ivy Belfast Brasserie and The Ivy Dawson Street can enjoy wine and Champagne by the bottle, all at half price. Yes, half price.

From beautifully chilled rosé and crisp, refreshing whites to perfectly iced Champagne, Summer Splash is the ideal opportunity to discover a new favourite or revisit a much-loved classic.

Without breaking the bank. Adore.

… Perfect patches

Skincare – but make it cooling. In the muggy heat? Sign me up.

Patchology have long been an icon when it comes to face masks and patches.

They have a product for every occasion and every skincare concern, and their patches are seriously reasonably priced compared to other major brands.

Lately I’ve been loving their Hydration 101 edit, a collection of masks and patches that are an instant cooling reset for thirsty, overworked skin.

The Serve Chilled On Ice collection works to cool, depuff and intensely hydrate from forehead to lips, using cooling hydrogel technology. 

Just pop in the fridge, allow to cool, and enjoy.

… Healthy smiles – for everyone

Life is hard enough without having to worry about paying for essentials – like good oral care.

Boots has once again teamed up with Spotlight Oral Care for their Hygiene Hub, a campaign that will give away thousands of free bamboo toothbrushes as the back-to-school season approaches.

From July 1st to 28th, for every Spotlight Oral Care product purchased in any of Boots 94 stores across Ireland or online, Spotlight Oral Care will donate a bamboo toothbrush to Hygiene Hub.

Last year, over 6,000 toothbrushes were donated, in a bid to alleviate the financial pressures that so many families face.

More of this, please.
