It’s an experience!

Every week there are new releases in the beauty word and I love having the luxury of trying them.

Sometimes though I will try a product and really enjoy the experience. For example, I recently had a lovely on counter demo with the team at Jo Malone London which has reintroduced me to a brand I love.

Jo Malone London recently announced a collaboration with a figure widely associated with kindness. That is the little bear with a big heart, Paddington.

The epitome of seeing the best in everyone and giving ‘just because’, the beloved bear has inspired a series of limited-edition scented gifts from the British fragrance and lifestyle house.

At the heart of this collection is a cologne that celebrates Paddington’s favourite snack, the marmalade sandwiches he hides beneath his famous red hat.

A refined take on the most British preserve, Orange Marmalade blends warm woods with orange zest to create a marvellous, golden fragrance. It isn’t as one might expect sickly sweet but rather tart and zesty.

Available at Brown Thomas (where the counter has had a revamp) now in a 30ml for €64 or 100ml for €134. it is the perfect gift for you or someone you love.

P.S They do free engraving on the bottle!

I also had a lovely night in my pjs with team Dermalogica recently to learn all about their latest innovation. Every day, your skin battles the elements. Harmful UV rays and pollutants can dull and dehydrate your skin. Enter Biolumin-C Night Restore from Dermalogica, an overnight serum designed to restore radiance, hydration, and tone. During the day, your skin defends against UV rays and free radicals.

At night, it switches to repair mode. Biolumin-C Night Restore supports this natural process with vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, and Pro-Vitamin D Complex, which aids recovery and restoration.

The result is revitalised, hydrated skin, ready to face the day.

This serum repairs your skin’s moisture barrier, delivering lasting brightness and immediate hydration.

Available now for €96.
