What a week! We’ve been all enjoying the sun here in VIP HQ but aside from soaking up the rays, we’ve had a busy few days.
Here’s what we’ve been loving this week.
Staff Editor Michelle Dardis is loving…Benefit
Earlier this week, myself and Dep Ed Niamh were invited to a gorgeous lunch in MamaYo on Camden Street with our fave brow brand, Benefit. Launching their gorgeous new product, Gimmie Brow + Volumizing Pencil, we got to try out the new hero product and already know it’s going to be a beauty bag staple! With tiny fibres, it adds texture and a natural fullness to the brows through precision application and doesn’t budge all day! What more could you want?
Most importantly though, the team in Benefit spoke to us about how this month they’re doing a massive drive to raise money for two charities; Daisy House which supports homeless women and Look Good Feel Better, which helps build the confidence of anyone going through cancer treatment. Throughout the month, €5 from any Benefit brow wax will go towards the charities, plus you can scan a QR code in-store to donate. Two incredibly worthy causes which we should all get behind!
Digital Editor Bronwyn O’Neill is loving… F&F’s Summer Range
Summer is not my season, I’m an autumn girlie. My wardrobe is filled with autumn weather fits, so I struggle to find something to wear when the sun is high in the sky. So thankfully when I spotted the new Summer Range from F&F at Tescos I was hooked.
Each piece is perfect to keep you cool and in style during these hot days and they won’t break the bank! So it’s a win for everyone! Prices range from €28 to €38, find out more details here.
Weekend editor Sláine McKenna is loving… Slazenger x Sofia Richie

In total honesty, I’m really not the biggest fan of athleisure. Don’t get me wrong, there are brands that I think are to-die for, but modern sportswear trends feature tons of patterns and colours, which I find really hard to style unless it’s a matching set.
For actual gym goers with loads of workout gear this isn’t going to be a problem, but my workout routine (if you can even call it that) involves some YouTube yoga, and maybe a walk. So I don’t really have a large enough supply of athleisure attire to make it work. But that’s why I’m loving Sofia Richie’s collab with Slazenger.
It’s extremely versatile featuring pieces like skorts, skirts, crop tops, dresses, vests and shorts, as well as all-season favourites like sweatshirts and joggers, and all following a beautiful deep pastel colour scheme…literally heaven. Plus they have tennis wear!
Do I play tennis? Nope. Do I adore tennis attire? Absolutely!
The collection tends to follow 90’s trends for their aesthetic, with a mix of prep and sleek streetwear. I strong believe 90’s and early 2000’s workout gear are the best athleisure has to offer, so I’m in love.
