Here’s What Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

April is almost over, somehow, and soon, May will be upon us.

Here at STELLAR, we’ve got our fingers crossed for a summer of sun, sun, and more, sun.

But until then, we’ll make the most out of the grey skies, and tell all you readers exactly what we’ve been loving this week.

… A new matcha bar

Matcha truly is having a moment – but if you’re not fully confident on making your own ceremonial cup at home, never fear, because a new matcha pop-up has just opened in Dublin.

OMMA recently opened its doors in Planet Beauty, Clarendon Street, and the response has been nothing short of incredible.

Brought to life by Ukrainian entrepreneur Nastya Kharytonova, the artisanal tea brand is inspired by Japan and sourced from the misty mountains of Miyazaki – so you know it’s the good stuff. 

The pop-up has been open for a week now, and has already received rave reviews for its ceremonial-grade matcha, delicious mochi, and matcha cheesecake. Just yum!

OMMA Café is open until September 30. 

… Gorge hair

The Italians are great at a few things: food, weather, and now, haircare.

Renowned Italian brand Selective Professional, has just launched into the Irish salon market, and we’re just dying to try these products!

Known for their innovative technologies and hair treatments, the brand’s ONCARE salon and consumer treatment line is suitable for all hair types, and boasts a series of products for any and all hair concerns.

Luxury Italian haircare right here at home? We’re listening.

Summer is fast approaching, but here in Ireland, you really can’t rely on the sun to give you a gorgeous, natural bronze.

And while blush may be all the rage this year, a good bronzer is always on trend – especially one that’s as creamy as this.

Benefit’s Hoola Bronzer is a bit of a cult fav, and now they’ve introduced a new smooth, buttery soft version – Hoola Wave Bronzer Balm.

This product applies like a dreamy cream and sets into a natural finish for a stunning, naturally bronzed look.

It’s also got some gorgeous, beach-y packaging. Just stunning.

… A bit of Bloom

You can’t spell ‘spring’ without Bloom, and this year, the flowers, food, and fun festival is set to be as gorgeous as ever.

Bord Bia Bloom is back this June bank holiday in Phoenix Park, and there’ll be plenty of show gardens, cooking demonstrations, and of course, live entertainment to enjoy.

This year’s festival runs from May 29th to June 2nd, so if you’re looking for something wholesome to do for the BH, you can grab yourself a ticket here.
