This week’s must do, see & buy

WEAR THIS

Yvonne Brady noticed a gap in the market when she took up marathon running after the birth of her third child.

She developed EVB sports exercise pants, €59.99, to support the stomach and pelvic floor during exercise.

We tried them out at a pump class last week and they delivered as promised. No surprise the brand was a winner on Dragons’s Den..

TASTE THIS

Enjoy a taste of the sea in the city at the Cliff Townhouse in Dublin. Taking inspiration from the Cliff House Hotel, Afternoon Sea is a unique take on the traditional afternoon tea.

It ignores the usual suspects and instead offers potted monkfish with toasted sourdough croutons, poached lobster with lemon mayonnaise, crab claws, mussels, Harty Oysters or Irish smoked salmon open sandwiches on soda bread.

There’s no tea or coffee either, you’ll be brought a cup of creamy lobster bisque. The only traditional element is the three-tiered stand on which it’s served. It runs until September, and costs €38 per person.

TRY THIS

We are a little bit addicted to Mac’s Timecheck Lotion, €42. A brand that isn’t synonymous with skincare, this moisturiser/primer promises to blur and fill lines and pores.

We’ve tried it, with and without foundation, and people have noticed the difference. The lightweight gel lotion sinks into the skin to create that Instagram effect. Sensational.

EAT THIS

When our wine critic and man about town Leslie Williams calls us with a tip, we take note. And you should too.

He’s been bowled over by Peter Clifford’s innovative cooking in Stanleys, Andrew St, Dublin. Morgan Vanderkamer’s excellent wine list to match, meanwhile, has him reeling. We’ll do the recce for you...

BUY THIS

This season make up is all about the eyes. So Lancome’s latest mascara, launching August 1 but already on sale exclusively at Brown Thomas, couldn’t have come at a better time.

Hypnose Volume a Porter, €27.50, will open up the eyes like no other. With 306 bristles there’s generous, even application with no clumping.

Best news of all? There’s no smudging. We used it for our exclusive beauty shoot (check it out in next Saturday’s Weekend) and we all fell a little bit in love...
