Hello There,
The Bank Holiday has arrived, girls, and I for one am really looking forward to it. Today is the last day of July, so I am sending the monthly newsletter in advance of the weekend so we can all chill and relax.
Since it is the Bank Holiday weekend girls I decided to run a Summer Sale. I am offering up to 25% off selected items. CLICK HERE TO SHOP.
My Return to You Event is almost sold out, we have about 40 tickets left girls. You can BOOK HERE I am really looking forward to meeting all 1,200 of you in Kilkenny in November. I am contemplating running an afternoon show, so I will keep you posted on that. I am genuinely very excited about this event. As you know, Oonagh O’Hagan has worked with me for almost 10 years, since we started. Oonagh will be hosting with me as she is the pharmacy maestro and a general health and wellness guru. We will also be joined by leading Irish medical Doctors, Consultants and Professors. I am excited myself to hear all these professionals speak about female hormone health and no doubt we will all pick up important nuggets of information. Oonagh is also arranging stands from different brands so the representatives from the Companies will be onsite to offer advice on their products.
Last weekend was so busy it never stopped. I was catering like a pro girls. Well I was decorating, cleaning and drinking some margaritas like a pro. It was so nice to have everybody over and entertain my family. Peter will be entertaining me now in two weeks, so I definitely had to make this weekend a good one on my end to ensure an even better service in Boston lol. It was a great weekend though and I am so happy to have the space in my house now to host everybody. I tell you what though I was wrecked after it I will not lie.I am so looking forward to my annual trip to Nadine & Peter in Boston later in August. I am always there for my birthday as you know. It is just a great break every year. Chris is coming with me for the first week, and then he will fly home. Peter has a trip planned for us, so I’m really looking forward to that too. I only have a few jobs to do over there so it will be lots of food, nice walks and rest and relaxation on tap for the two weeks. We all watched the match and what a day for Mayo! Big shout out to all my Mayo fans. I think the whole Country was delighted and it really was amazing for the County. They deserve to bask in the glory, that’s for sure.
It is all go at the moment. I thought the summer months usually get quieter but not this year. Lisa & Co. Fashion had a super busy July. The soft touch pyjama sets flew out the door, as did the gym tops. I am getting huge love for both of them. I also sold out of the two handbags. The shoulder bag and the chalk clutch bags. The shoulder bag actually sold out in 9 minutes, so I am now calling it the 9 minute bag. I have ordered the shoulder bag in black for Christmas, so I’m really looking forward to them landing in as well. My rugby tops will be launching towards the end of August girls. They are coming in two colorways. Navy and white and chocolate plum and white. I have so many new samples arriving soon. One I am really excited about. I have a sample of denims coming and if they are right they are going to be unreal. I tried them on 3 different body types and they worked perfectly on each shape. I am crossing my fingers and toes that they are correct girls. If they are I genuinely cannot wait to share them with you. The taupe belts also sold well, and I am working on a navy sample now to match my navy wool trousers, which will launch later in the year. I am also waiting on a taupe sample of the clutch bag. So much is happening; it is super exciting.
July has officially been the biggest month in the history of Lisa & Co Cosmetics… and it’s all thanks to you!
From the incredible launch of our Instant Impact Lash Primer to the phenomenal response to our Gradual Tan pre-order, you’ve absolutely blown us away. Seeing your orders arrive, reading your amazing reviews and watching so many of you glow in your new tan has been such a proud moment. And we’re only getting started! If all goes to plan, our Gradual Tan will begin arriving in pharmacies from around the second week of August (I’ll keep you updated if anything changes). We also hope to launch a selection of our best-selling products into pharmacies before the end of the month.
We’ve another exciting online launch coming your way on 13th August! Keep an eye on my stories for all the launch and product restock updates.
That’s about all my news for now girls. I will be chatting with you all during the day and I hope you all have a great August. I don’t want the Summer to end. I hate the thought of the Winter coming. Let’s enjoy the Summer while it lasts.
Thanks so much as always and chat soon,
