NUXE Super Serum [10] Eye Contour is a new eye contour serum that counters visible signs of aging in users. The formula is an innovation-forward fusion of Laboratoire NUXE’s expertise in botanical oils. The universal age-defying eye concentrate acts on signs of premature aging in the eye contour area, for brighter-looking, refreshed eyes that appear 10 years younger!

NUXE has adapted the anti-aging efficacy of Super Serum [10] to the specific needs of the eye area. The delicate and fragile skin around the eyes is ten times thinner than on the rest of the face. Naturally lacking in support fibres (collagen and elastin), this area is affected faster by the appearance of wrinkles, expression lines, loss of firmness and signs of fatigue. A universal anti-aging concentrate of effectiveness for a 360° correction: wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness, signs of fatigue.

The Super Serum [10] Eye concentrates all the anti-aging effectiveness of the Super Serum [10] in a product designed specifically for the eye area. A universal duo incorporating a cutting-edge technology: microfluidic encapsulation of 100% natural fractionated botanical oils. This innovation has inspired the creation of a unique formula with a patented botanical complex that stimulates natural youth mechanisms thanks to thousands of micro-balls of fractionated Botanical Oils and its concentration of Natural Hyaluronic Acid.

Botanical Caffeine, on the other hand, provides antioxidant, decongesting and refreshing properties. A combination of active ingredients that acts on age markers and signs of fatigue. Its texture resembling golden botanical pearls is perfectly tailored to the eye contour area. It is light and instantly absorbed into the skin with no greasy finish, for 360° correction of the eye area.

The Nuxe Laboratory has drawn on over 30 years of know- how and combined its expertise in both oils and anti-aging to create Super Serum [10] (RRP 30ml £60.00 / € 70.00) (RRP 50ml £82.00 / € 95.00), our NO. 1 facial serum. This exceptional skincare product, in a 30 ml and 50 ml size, is now available in a special innovative version for the eye contour area, with a formula enriched in anti-dark circle and anti-puffiness active ingredients. A universal duo that stimulates natural youth mechanisms to provide powerful anti-aging performance.

How to use:

Super Serum Eye is easy to apply and quickly absorbed by the skin. You can use it as part of your daily beauty routine by applying it in the morning and evening after cleansing the skin. Gently massage a small amount of serum into the skin around the eyes until fully absorbed. This eye serum is suitable for all skin types and can be used by both men and women.

Where to buy?

NUXE Super Serum [10] Eye Contour has an RRP of £42 / €50 and it is widely available online at Cloud 10 Beauty and all major pharmacies nationwide.

Sleep has never been more satisfying. The renowned purveyor of luxury sleepwear, Cotone Collection consists of a stunning range of high-comfort, high-quality pieces that are ethically and sustainably produced from natural fabrics and are designed to give you the best night's sleep. Frustrated with the current luxury sleepwear offering in Ireland and on a mission to improve sleep quality, Cotone Collection founder, Hollianne Phelan wanted to create a luxury sleepwear range that was sustainable, ethical, and that delivers on performance, fit, quality, sizing, and style.

After extensive market research, Hollianne created designs to combat the design flaws and issues identified across the sleepwear industry and by investing in innovative fabric products and garment-making, the Cotone Collection was born.

Cotone Collection founder, Hollianne Phelan comments; “The large majority of sleepwear on the market to date has been a carbon copy of each other with respect to design and sizing. Arms are tight underarms and prevent movement, crotch and leg seams are so tight that they’re not conducive to sleep, and shorts disappear. Ironically many aspects of these designs and fabrics used are proven to negatively impact sleep quality.

Cotone Collection founder, Hollianne Phelan
 

Everyone sizes up a size or two in the hope of achieving a fit that is comfortable to sleep in. I think this is a significant flaw in the way sleepwear lines are designed and I am so proud that Cotone Collection is here to offer a sustainable alternative in the luxury sleepwear space that is designed with the end goal of sleep in mind”

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to quality, Cotone Collection’s luxury sleepwear is made in a family-run factory based in Portugal. Each piece is hand-made with care by seamstresses, expertly tailored to perfection, providing a fit that enhances both comfort and style. The entire collection is made from 100% European Cotton woven into a muslin material to make everything extra soft ensuring a heavenly touch against the skin which promises a transformative sleep experience like no other.

Key sets from the Cotone Collection include:

Wind Me Down Gown (€120)

Designed to wrap you in comfort, its relaxed dropped shoulders combined with its wide box sleeve make this piece the perfect pullover. The length is generous, providing nearly full body cover. Made from 100% European Cotton, woven into a muslin material to feel as soft as a baby's blanket

Set My Arms Free & Hug Me To Sleep Shorts (€150)

The ‘Set My Arms Free’ sleep tee is a boxed fit, short-sleeved, pyjama top. This button-up sleep tee has double-lined pockets, mindfully placed at breast height to help fight a cold breeze. The dropped shoulders, boxed sleeves and extended seams eliminate any restriction while sleeping.The ‘Hug Me to Sleep Shorts’ are high-waisted, with a substantially thick waistband designed to support and cradle you to sleep.

Sleeve Of Your Dreams & Hug Me To Sleep Pants (€180)

The ‘Sleeves of Your Dreams’ sleep shirt is designed with the ultimate comfort and style in mind. Its pockets are double-lined and mindfully placed at breast height to help fight a cold breeze. We have dropped the shoulders, designed luxurious puffy sleeves, and extended seams past the typical standard across most sleepwear lines to eliminate restriction whilst sleeping. The ‘Hug Me to Sleep Pants’ are high-waisted, with a substantially thick waistband designed to support and cradle you to sleep. With a wide breezy fit leg design, you can enjoy full movement while you stretch and curl.

The Cotone Collection sets are also available to individuals to allow people to mix and match short sleeves with pants, and full-length sleeves with shorts to stay true to our comfortable sizing values so people can create their dream sleep set on our website and mix and match to their own specific preferences.

The Cotone Collection is available online at www.CotoneCollection.ie.

Created using bio-scientific principles, Rosalique 3-in-1 Anti Redness Miracle Formula SPF 50 is a unique triple-action skincare saviour for sensitive and redness-prone skin.  Developed as a versatile skincare solution, Rosalique can be used as a light foundation, redness-correcting concealer, or as a primer and SPF under makeup, as well as the ultimate first step in any skincare routine.

Most people will suffer from facial redness or skin sensitivity at some point. In Ireland, our traditionally pale skin tone can easily be triggered by the changeable weather and associated external aggressors. Rosalique offers a gentle and effective solution for this while also soothing more severe conditions such as Rosacea, Couperose, Keratosis Pilaris, redness (Erythema), Acne symptoms such as blemishes and spots, as well as flushed or inflamed skin.

Founder Martin Schiele created the unique formula combining bio-scientific elements alongside cutting-edge technologies, to be the fastest, safest, and most effective solution for facial redness.

Rosalique’s distinctive triple-action formulation instantly conceals redness, gently treats the cause, and offers long-term protection in one simple skin-care step.

So, how does one product do it all?

Conceal:

Rosalique contains a one-of-a-kind Micro-Encapsulated Technology. Green microcapsules contain light skin-toned pigments that burst on application to allow for an instant concealing effect. Skin tone instantly appears less agitated, and any signs of redness are reduced thanks to the green outer layer of the capsules, delivering a smooth complexion in seconds!

Treat:

Think of Rosalique as an active daily treatment for the skin. The formula contains active ingredients like Zeolite, Alpha-Bisabolol, Panthenol, Shea Butter, and Urea that have been clinically proven to gently treat symptoms associated with sensitivity and redness. Studies on Rosalique also indicate that irritated skin areas are calmed and soothed when used daily for 4-8 weeks with a significant reduction in redness, leaving skin that looks and feels calmer.

Protect:

Rosalique contains a 5*-rated SPF50, protecting the skin from further aggravation caused by UVA and UVB rays. Continuous protection from harmful light rays will further reduce irritation and skin redness.

Aside from visibly reducing the appearance of redness, treating issues at the source, and protecting the skin, Rosalique’s active ingredients also help to hydrate, soothe, and soften skin while aiding the regeneration and repair of skin cells and reducing inflammation.

A-Bisabolol, the key active ingredient in Rosalique, is a clinically proven anti-inflammatory that helps calm and soothe irritated skin, aiding skin repair and regeneration. Similarly, Shea Butter, rich in vitamins A, K, and E, helps heal skin and improve moisture.

Panthenol is the Provitamin of B5 and works as a humectant by infusing water in the cells, attracting and locking moisture within the skin tissues. When used regularly, it can also act as an anti-inflammatory, relieving systemic itching and helping to soothe dry and red, irritated skin.

Rosalique also contains Zeolite, a unique mineral that binds and removes heavy metals absorbed by the skin. At the same time, its immunological properties reduce irritation and itchiness, which are common for sensitive and redness-prone skin.

Urea keeps skin hydrated and helps skin better absorb other ingredients and penetrate the skin more deeply. It also calms irritated and inflamed skin, repairing and protecting it against infection,

Rosalique 3-in-1 Anti Redness Miracle Formula SPF 50 RRP €33.95 is available from pharmacies nationwide.

Harlow Fine Jewellery located in the heart of Waterford City is three years in business next month, August 15th. To celebrate, designer and founder, Lisa Statham unveiled an exquisite new collection of diamond and gemstone engagement rings, her most ambitious and extensive range brought to market to date.

Lisa Statham boasts 20 years of experience in the jewellery industry with a keen eye for detail and passion for design. Having first served her time working in a traditional family jeweller here in Ireland, she spread her wings in 2007 and moved to Australia to follow her dreams. In Perth, her work focused on the luxury jewellery market where she worked with some of the country’s leading diamond boutiques.

During this period, she really honed her skills in fine jewellery design and creation. Bespoke, diamond, alternative gemstone engagement rings and unique jewellery pieces quickly became her passion as she emersed herself in the diamond and gemstone industry.

In 2020, Lisa and her husband Lee founded Harlow Fine Jewellery, a refreshing outlier in the industry in every sense of the word. Harlow is a completely different experience to the traditional jewellers that springs to mind, much to the delight of their happy customers. Lisa brings her knowledge, education, and experience in alternative jewellery design and creation, while Lee a successful and astute businessman brings acumen and experience in running successful businesses. Over the last three years, the formidable couple have worked tirelessly to perfect this remarkable business.

Chrissy Teigen has been sharing details of her vow renewal ceremony with John Legend. 

Last weekend, the couple celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary by renewing their vows in Italy while surrounded by their loved ones. 

Reflecting on the milestone day, Chrissy described the celebration of love as ‘really special’. 

While chatting to People, the model opened up about the renewal ceremony, revealing, “It was really special… Way more emotional than I anticipated, but really so good”.

“And I just feel so lucky and so blessed and in all the corniest of terms. It was so f*****g sweet and amazing”.

Chrissy then admitted that the one person that she expected to spend the most time with- her husband John, ended up being who she saw the least during the weekend. 

“On those things, the person that you speak to the least is your husband, she explained before jokingly adding, “I'm like, ‘I don't even remember him’”.

Teigen went on to say that she originally didn’t want to renew her wedding vows with John because many couples from The Real Housewives series end up going their separate ways not long after renewing their vows. 

“I didn't want it to be a vow renewal. I come from the world of Real Housewives and a vow renewal is the kiss of death, but I was like, ‘Let's kiss it. Let's do it’”.

Revealing if she and John would celebrate every decade of their wedding anniversary by renewing their vows, the Cravings author joked, “My business accountant says that I can do it every 25 years. But no, I would, but you want to make it special too”.

“And I really don't like celebrations, whether it's my birthday or anything. But I do love gratitude and I love thanking the people that have been there for the past 17 years of our relationship. To me, that was everything”.

The vow renewal celebration took place at the luxurious Villa Pizzo in the Lake Como area of Italy, exactly where Chrissy and John first said ‘I Do’ back in 2013.

They were joined at the ceremony by their children- seven-year-old Luna, five-year-old Miles, eight-month-old Esti and three-month-old Wren, among other loved ones.
