From an expert skincare salon to a limited-edition jewellery and beauty collaboration …
THE SKIN DESTINATION
Melissa Ferguson’s state-of-the-art Voza Skin and Laser Clinic has opened in her native Limerick. An upgrade from her original skincare studio, the luxurious setting was designed by local company Serpentine Interiors. Here, Ferguson caters for everything from advanced skincare to wedding make-up, laser treatments to scalp care. Her signature facial is entirely tailored to your own needs, which is why many clients drive for hours to benefit from her two decades of experience. Skincare brands available to buy in store or online include Biologique Recherche, Heliocare and Vintner’s Daughter. Skin consultation €60, express facial €85. The Coach House, 104 Henry Street, Limerick. www.vozaskin.com
THE POP-UP
Good news for all of us Modern Botany devotees. Next month the brand hosts a new venture – their first pop-up shop, in the grandeur of The Westbury Mall, Dublin 2, together with two other Irish brands, Seoidín Jewellery and Superfolk. As Rachel Gallagher, brand and marketing manager for Modern Botany, explains, “It’s a small collaboration, a little botanical-inspired space where skincare, art and jewellery come together in a contemporary celebration of Irish lifestyle.” We can’t wait to check it out from October 2 to 30. www.modernbotany.com

THE FREE GIFT
About to invest in some new beauty for autumn? If so, it’s worth knowing about the new Beauty Box at Brown Thomas: when you spend €260 or more on beauty, you receive this exclusive gift worth over €212. The gift box features nine items (travel or full-size) across skincare, make-up and scent, including La Mer Moisturising Soft Cream (7ml), Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara (3ml), Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Mist (30ml), Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Primer (10ml) and Arden Ceramide Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Capsules (7-piece deluxe sample). Available now in Brown Thomas stores and online, while stocks last.
THE LIMITED-EDITION
Get it before it’s gone … Intuitia is one of the best collections yet from Rituals, in my opinion. It’s a sophisticated and beautifully designed collection of treats for bath, body and home, from whipped body cream to roll-on perfume. The collection is about “listening to your inner voice”, but even if the “intuition oracle cards” aren’t your cup of tea, you’ll fall for the scent – luxurious sandalwood and vanilla with a twist of saffron – which is warm and soft without being sickly. Standouts include the home perfume (€31.90), with its vintage-style fringed spray; this makes such a pretty gift, and you could refill the bottle afterwards.
I like the golden tube of vanilla-scented body exfoliator, complete with handy tube-squeezer (€15), too. There’s also a scented candle, hand wash, eau de parfum and velvety foaming shower gel, plus a gift set (€60). The design reminds me a little of Kate Moss’ now defunct Cosmoss range, with its golden lettering and soft colours – but Intuitia is WAY more affordable. Available in store and online. Important to note: Rituals’ ever-popular beauty advent calendars are available now, too. www.rituals.com
