Happy Christmas Girls, December 2025

Happy Christmas Girls,

It is December 1st so I think I am allowed to say Happy Christmas now girls. Well that was one super fast year. I actually cannot believe how quickly that went by, in the blink of an eye another year is gone. I have to say I do believe the older you get the faster the years go by for sure. I feel they are speeding up big time that is for sure.

November was a hugely busy month for me. It is always my busiest month of the year. Lots of you start the Christmas shopping in November. When I was young Christmas started in December but now it really does start once Halloween is over. Once the Halloween decorations come down over night we are straight into Christmas. The Black Friday mayhem starts really in the first week in November and just goes on then for the whole month. I did have some amazing offers throughout the month. I do work super hard at getting the very best offers for you all. Last Friday’s actual Black Friday was insane. The offers I had were off the scale girls. I know from all the messages that you were all waiting on it. It was my 5th year of doing the special Black Friday offers. As I was saying last week I only work with Irish brands on Black Friday. I am actually delighted to be able to support Irish and try to work Irish as much as I possibly can. The amount of brands that you would hear nothing from all year that come out of the woodwork in November & December. Generally they are international brands to be honest with you. I am happy out working with the same Irish brands all year around. I look after them and they look after me. Isn’t that what life is all about girls. Anyways, I hope you all picked up some pressies and got great deals. I am happy I have it done to be honest. It is a tough day getting the collaborations delivered for eight brands in one day. Roll on November 2026 where it will all happen again please God.

Lisa & Co fashion and cosmetics have also had a super busy few weeks. In fashion we launched the boucle jackets in red, ivory and black. They were so well received and I have to say I am obsessed with them. They are as you know 55% wool. So soft yet super warm and not to mention super classic. They are a piece that will never ever date and you can wear to so many events and occasions .You can dress it up or wear it with jeans and Tee for a more casual look. CLICK HERE TO SHOP.

The Chocolate Plum Hat & Scarves sold out completely as did the preorder. I actually couldn’t believe they sold out in 90 minutes. I will definitely do more next Christmas and will order more for sure. It is just so hard to get the quantities correct. It really is a tricky one to get 100% right. We live and learn as they say…

The bags flew out the door on Saturday. I love the two bags. They are stunning and so wearable. Like all my pieces, I try to make them multi-functional. My bags can be worn crossbody, on the shoulder or as a clutch. The gold hardware is the perfect gold and it really is an amazing piece. It is also 100% Napa leather girls and it is the perfect, perfect size. We start dispatching them today so really looking forward to hearing from you all about them. CLICK HERE TO BUY 

Next week I will have my 98% wool trousers Launching. I adore and I am not joking when I say I adore these trousers. You will know how much I love them as I wear them constantly as those of you following stories will know. They are just stunning. They will be available in four colourways black, grey, burgundy and camel. All I can really say here is that I love them girls and always have done. As I said they are 98% wool and 2% spandex so they have that small little stretch. They are super high quality and are a pair of trousers that you will have for years. I know there will be a lot of these trousers underneath the Christmas trees and always being worn on Christmas Day with a lovely sparkly top or a Christmas jumper lol. I will keep you updated on the launch day girls but watch this space. We are saying for Fashion our last day for guaranteed delivery within Ireland is December 18th. We do have vouchers available online girls. Just to note also that cosmetics and fashion are two different websites so be sure to tell whoever is purchasing you a voucher if you would like cosmetics or fashion.

December marks our biggest month of launches and dispatches ever at Lisa & Co Cosmetics – a milestone made possible by the incredible support you’ve shown us throughout 2025. We’re closing out the year with a powerhouse lineup: our much-anticipated Ten Palette, the quick-and-effortless Five Second Eyes trio set, the glowing Peach Pop Blush/Highlight, and the dazzling Dazzle Highlight. We’re also celebrating the return of Perfect Nude and Dubai, now reimagined with a twist as double-ended favourites. Alongside this, we’ve got our 5-Piece Double-Ended Brush Set, a curated selection of new single brushes, and our Luxe Edition, which has already been ordered in its thousands. And — if timing allows — we might even squeeze in one more surprise launch in the second week of December. To ensure everything runs seamlessly in the run-up to Christmas, we’ll be closing Cosmetic orders on December 15th, giving us the space to dispatch all deliveries smoothly and avoid the seasonal chaos. We’re also replenishing some of your most-loved essentials: Anti-Redness Primer, Probiotic UV Primer SPF 50, and Skin Luxe in Light Neutral. It’s been an extraordinary year, and we can’t thank you enough for continuing to champion Lisa & Co Cosmetics.

This will be my first Christmas in the  New House. This year I will be the Hostess with the Mostest… not so sure but I am going to give it a good shot. I am really looking forward to hosting Christmas. Imagine, I am 53 years old and it is my first time to host. I have my decorations up for a month now. I had that lovely shoot with Bairbre Power for the Mistletoe Magazine so I needed my tree up. That was such a lovely shoot girls and it was great to have Murph feature with me. Big thank you to Bairbre for thinking of me. The house is almost finished now, I hope. All the little bits from the snag list are nearly all completed. The outside landscaping started last Wednesday. They should be finished by today so I think that by the end of today I should be all done in the house front, I hope lol. I may start practising the dinner now to be sure we get it right. I don’t want to poison anybody although I think I will be the washup gal and Chris will be Head Chef. I have to say I am really looking forward to it.

Daragh and I are heading on Holidays on Stephens Day for a week of sun. It will be very welcomed after the last eight weeks of mayhem. Chris will head over to see his Mum and spend some time with her for Christmas. I always think Christmas is the best holiday of the year. All the offices are closed so the email completely stops and I can really just chill and relax. I love Dubai as does Daragh so I am looking forward to the trip now and the sun on my bones.

I am also very aware that Christmas can be a very difficult time for lots of people, our family included. It is just one day and that is all I will say but it can be lonely and isolating for a lot of people. If you are reading this and are one of those people, big hugs. Things will get better and hopefully a better year lies ahead for you all.

On that I need to wish you all a very Happy Christmas. Stay safe and sound and enjoy as much as you can with your nearest and dearest. I also want to say a huge big thank you for supporting me throughout 2025. I really appreciate all the support you have all shown me over the years. I am forever grateful and as I always say it is not something that I will ever take for granted and I so appreciate it. Looking forward to a wonderful 2026 of chats, stories and fun.

Have a great holiday and chat soon,

Lots of love,
Lisa Xx
