Have A Little Peek Behind The Scenes At Our Fabulously Festive STELLAR Live! Event

Our lovely editor Vicki Notaro

Over 120 readers and friends descended on The Alex in Dublin on December 1 to kick off party season in style at our STELLAR Live… At Christmas! event in association with Sally Hansen, and an absolute ball was had.

Our lovely guests were treated to coffee and cookies on arrival before MC James Patrice kicked things off alongside his co-host, editor Vicki Notaro. Sally Hansen Brand Ambassador Pamela Laird demonstrated the best nail care and tan products, giving amazing tips along the way, while attendees had their own nail concerns diagnosed by the pro.

Dietitian Orla Walsh and training guru Jenni Murphy gave amazing advice on food and fitness, especially during the colder months, and then everyone enjoyed lunch and cocktails thanks to our friends at Schweppes.

Sarah and Emer chat about the huge success of the Aisling books

The afternoon comprised of chats with bestselling authors Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen (of the Oh My God What A Complete Aisling books) and self-help writer Caroline Foran whose books Owning It and The Confidence Kit stormed the non-fiction charts. MUA Tara Anderson created a gorgeous winter glam look using Max Factor, and the day was capped off with a fabulous fashion show with looks from Dresses.ie.
