Earlier this week, the Irish Examiner's Beauty Editor Simone Gannon launched her own Expert Edit with Penneys, and it's full of products that are both effective and very affordable. With a cleanser for €2.50, a moisturiser for €4.50 and an SPF for €5, you could get yourself a very basic skincare routine for just €12. So far we've tried the Squalane Facial Oil, €5, and Smoothing Polyglutamic & Niacinamide sheet mask, also €5, and loved both.

Nicki Hoyne is often featured in our fashion pages, or Wishlist section, but now is your chance to grab one of her head-turning items for less. 

The Irish designer will be holding a sample sale at The Rivercourt Hotel in Kilkenny this Saturday, February 18, from 12 - 6pm. 

The one-off in-person sale will include samples, slightly imperfect stock, photoshoot returns or any other products not suitable for regular sale. Prices will start at €50, with footwear (sizes 36 - 43) and handbags on offer. 

It's invite only, so you need to sign up to this list in advance if interested.
