Here’s What Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

All the bits

It’s Friday – and it’s been a busy week here at STELLAR HQ.

Molly Mae’s documentary has landed, Love Island All Stars kicked off, and finally we’ve got a bit of sun in Ireland.

We’ve also been loving lots of things this is week. Here they are.

Head of Digital Jade is loving… A stunning show

A new stage adaptation of Emma is currently showing in the Abbey Theatre, and it’s been getting rave reviews.

Its beauty partner is also none other than Charlotte Tilbury, a collab that we’re fully obsessed with.

Written by Kate Hamill, based on the novel by Jane Austen, and directed by Claire O’Reilly, the play is a stunning retelling of the classic novel.

Ripping the bodice off tradition, the play follows the privileged lives and relationships of the smart set, and those who wish to join them.

Editorial intern Ava is loving… Sisters and Seekers

The British cool girl clothing brand has blown up recently with their iconic tracksuit co-ords and stylish knit jumpers. Think casual, comfy and stylish.

My personal top picks have to be the Seekers Motif Jumper in Butter and the Jeanswear Panel Washed Sweatshirt – need.

They also have a really great reward system called Seekersville – how handy?

Jade is loving… A tasty treat

I generally wouldn’t be a big protein ball girl. I’ve never found them particularly tasty, and there are plenty of other things I’d rather snack on.

That all changed this week when I tried Good4U’s Protein Balls in lemon drizzle and mint chocolate flavours.

Made with dates, crispy protein bits, and lots of other good stuff, the balls are absolutely the tastiest I’ve ever had.

They’re also smaller than your average protein ball, which makes them easier to snack on on the go. Fully obsessed.

Ava is loving… Love Island

It’s the middle of January. So yes, once again I am following along with Love Island this season. It’s always so entertaining and the winter season gets me SO excited for the summer.

Seeing all of the past contestants return feels like a world colliding moment but I’m so here for it. If you haven’t been watching it there is definitely time to catch up!

Jade is loving… Ectoin

Another day, another viral skincare ingredient you’re going to be hearing all about this year.

This time it’s ectoin, and it’s here to protect the skin barrier, hydrate, and tackle dryness, flakiness, and even redness too.

The Inky List have just launched the latest product, Ectoin Hydro-Barrier Serum, and even though I’ve only been using it for one week, I’ve already noticed that my skin feels plumper and more hydrated than before.

Here’s t0 a January without the January skin.

Ava is loving… NYX lip gloss

Not to be dramatic but the NYX Butter Lipgloss has changed my life. They are only around €8 and I believe they are the best lip gloss on the market.

Over the past few years, I have bought probably 15 refills of the shade Madeleine. It is the perfect browny-pinky nude. It matches so many lip liners and adds the most stunning shine to your lips.

It’s also a really easy one to apply on the go without a mirror as it’s not too opaque – perfection.
