We’re almost half-way through March. We hope that you’ve gotten your hands on the new issue of VIP Magazine, we’re so proud of it!
Here at VIP HQ we’re excited to sit down and watch the Oscars with the hopes that Jessie Buckley will walk away victorious after an incredible award season. Oh and Dancing with the Stars comes to an end as well this weekend.
We’re prepping for Paddy’s Day – so it really is all go.
Here’s what we’re loving this week…
Head of Commercial and Events Rebecca is loving…a beautiful scent
VOYA begins 2026 with not one, but two fab new launches. The limited edition candle is as gorgeous and luxurious as you’d expect, bringing a beautiful spa-like scent to any space.
The new discovery sets are also a great idea—travel-friendly minis of VOYA favourites, perfect for trying the range or taking on the go. Both make perfect gift ideas for Mother’s Day. Find out more here.
Rebecca is loving…living her Bridgerton era
The second instalment of Season 4 of Bridgerton has officially arrived on Netflix, and if you—or someone you love—are a fan of all things Regency romance, you’ll adore Coty’s new Bridgerton fragrance collection.
This charming trio of scents captures the elegance and intrigue of the era:
Dearest Tempting Peach – a fruity, playful fragrance bursting with sweet charm.
Dearest Rebel Vanilla – an amber floral scent with a bold, romantic twist.
Dearest Graceful Hydrangea – a beautifully balanced floral woody composition, delicate yet sophisticated.
Available now online.
Staff Writer Anja is loving… Açaí Bowls!
It may not feel like it at the moment, but warm sunny days are just around the corner, and what better way to cool off than with a delicious OAKBERRY açaí bowl?
Yes, the world’s #1 açaí brand has just opened another store in Swords, Dublin, giving açaí bowl fans even more locations to choose from. The new opening is located within the SuperValu store in the centre and will serve the brand’s signature organic açaí bowls, smoothies, specialty coffees and more, all in its popular grab-and-go format. So, plenty to choose from!
The launch marks the next major Irish expansion for OAKBERRY following the brand’s recent opening in Cork city in December, continuing the rapid growth of the Brazilian superfood brand across the country.
Now excuse me while I try to decide which toppings to try next…
Digital Editor Bronwyn is loving…a blockbuster
I was so excited for Project Hail Mary to come out. Ryan Gosling’s new flick sees him take on the role of a science teacher enlisted into an impossible mission to go to space.
He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.
It lands in cinemas on March 19th and I couldn’t recommend it more!
Bronwyn is loving…the outdoors
Wander Wild Festival is back in Killarney in April and I got to go down for a fabulous taster weekend to sample what the festival has in store for everyone going down.
We started the weekend with a beautiful Cacao Ceremony with Caitriona Lawlor before starting Saturday morning off with a beautiful hike through the Killarney wilderness and then a boat ride across one of the gorgeous lakes. We even got to explore one of the islands in the middle of the lake. (You really shouldn’t miss out on this one!)
Sunday saw us visit Muckross Creamery and sample some icecream, as well as explore the farm where everything comes from.
We also got to spend our down time in the amazing Killarney Park Hotel, which has a gorgeous spa, pool and restaurant, which we took full advantage of.

Bronwyn is loving…a beauty pop-up
There’s nothing I love more than getting up close and personal with new beauty products. So imagine my delight when I learned that Benefit had a pop-up in Arnott’s dedicated to their new blushes – Play Daze and Juice Stick.
You can try on and shop all of the Benefit Cosmetics Most Wanted products customers have loved for decades, from the iconic BADgal BANG! Mascara and Benetint original rose, which turns 50 this year.
Bronwyn is loving…dream skin
I always want my skin to look flawless but I don’t want to much product on my face. So I’m always a huge fan of a skin tint.
So I was delighted to find out about bareMinerals’ new Skin Tint Stick.
Perfect for busy mornings or quick touch ups throughout the day, it’s designed to keep your complexion looking fresh wherever you go, and as we begin to think about the Holiday season, these sticks are the perfect addition to your makeup bag.

Bronwyn is loving…a clean floor
Don’t we all want our homes in tiptop shape? Especially now because my family is in clean mode as my sister’s confirmation is this weekend.
The whole house has been cleaned from top to toe, especially the floors! Honestly, you could eat off them at this point.
All the cleanliness is thanks to Dyson’s new launch, their PencilWash is an expertise in wet cleaning and emphasis on hygiene with the revolutionary, Dyson-designed, pencil-thin format, delivering effortless manoeuvrability and hygienic cleaning performance for modern homes.

Bronwyn is loving…a delicious snack
Sometimes all I need to pick me up is a nice crunchy snack. My go-to is always a crisp!
And it’s safe to say that I adore the new Tayto Crunchy range. It has that perfect crunch!
Tayto Crunchy is a texture-led sharing snack that delivers a seriously satisfying crunch. Launching in two standout flavours Big Cheese and Hot & Spicy.
Bronwyn is loving…a dreamy refreshment
The only thing that can go well with a delicious crisp is a delightful mineral.
I am a Coke Zero fiend, but I was so excited to try the new Cherry Diet Coke and it did not disappoint.
I’m also a big fan of the latest Coca-Cola Zero Caffeine Zero Sugar offering. You can sip away on these in the evening and get a proper eight-hours of sleep!
