On the Bathroom Shelf this week is a very exciting launch from Kash Beauty. Keilidh Cashell is an Irish makeup artist and influencer who has an incredible online following and Crystal Nights is her second collection. Think glitter, glimmer and a whole lot of glam. There's everything you need here, lipsticks, glosses, lashes, a nine-shade eyeshadow palette but our hero product in this range is the eyeshadow toppers. Easy to apply, super shiny, gorgeous texture, they add a slick of added glamour in one easy swoop. They are game-changers. The Kash Beauty Crystal Nights Collection is available to buy on www.kashbeauty.com
Ground is an exciting new luxury wellness brand handmade by award-winning spa consultant Peigin Crowley. Launching in Brown Thomas, this very special collection is the result of a lot of hard work and determination by the Cork lady. "I wanted to create a brand that focuses on rebuilding our ‘at home’ relationship, that helps bring us back to ourselves, and reminds us of what really matters, especially during these unsettling times," Peigín says.
100% natural aromatherapy balms and oils for the face and body, made in Ovens by Peigin in small batches, Ground was born from a passionate desire to make wellness accessible for the whole family. Find out more at https://groundwellbeing.com/
One of the reasons I love Twitter — and Ireland, and Mammies — is tweets like this from PR exec Grainne Glenny: "Mam, she’s a worker so she is. Comes home from work every night and spends it making masks to send to her sisters, her friends, our community. Anyone want one? They’re free and have a handy drawstring to make them fit and are 4ply cotton. DEAD IF SHE SEES THIS." What a fabulous lady, take a bow, Sarah Glenny from Newmarket-on-Fergus. There she is making superhero masks in her very limited spare time. I think we all know she's the real Wonder Woman.
