July 2025

Hi Girls,

Happy July girls. Summer has officially landed. State Exams are complete, primary schools are closed and in my case out of office is activated. I am writing this before I leave for my holidays with Daragh. Those of you following me for a while will know that Daragh and I go away every year for a week or so. I always let him pick the destination so this year we are on a Caribbean Cruise. We fly into Miami and then on the sea for seven days. It is a lovely time away for the two of us to catch up. I am delighted that he still wants to come away with me to be honest. As I have said before we are very close and for so many years it was just the two of us so it is great that we get to hang out, chill and relax. He has all the activities planned. Lots of water sports which will be great fun. I will keep you updated on stories on my travels.

I am so looking forward to the break. There is so much going on at the moment between all the companies. At times it is like one big juggling act. When the break comes I really need it and this is a great trip because I have no jobs to do while I am away. It will be pure rest and relaxation. I had a great day at the official launch of the Galway Races. I cannot tell you how happy I am to be the Guest Judge this year. It really is a full circle moment for me. I won Galway 9 years ago and it provided me with the platform to do what I do today. It was a great day at the launch. Mandy Maher, my great friend, is the Head Judge at the races. Mandy is a very proud Galway girl and I could think of nobody better to be judging with. We have been working together almost ten years now and we totally get each other. It will be such a great day. I am also delighted to be working with Ella & Jo who are the main sponsor for Ladies Day Best Dressed. As you all know I have been working with Charlene and Niamh for a long time. We all know each other so well which will make the day even better. I cannot wait to see all the glamour and style on the day. We are going up for two nights and Linda & Chelsea are coming with me. The atmosphere in Galway is like no other race festival and it really is the most stylish of the Ladies Days in my opinion. Maybe I am slightly biased lol but I do think it is. It is one of the biggest racing festivals in Europe I heard that at the launch party. Seven days of racing. I would only be able for two lol…

The house I will not lie, I absolutely love it. It has been worth all the sleepless nights and headaches. I wanted a homely home. Somewhere to decompress and relax after work. Arlene got the brief completely and made it all happen. I couldn’t be happier with how it is turning out. We are hoping to move in officially in August. I am so looking forward to having the space and also to have an official studio. To be able to just close the door behind me and leave all the cardboard boxes and briefs in there ready for the next day’s work. Colin has been a Godsend and managed everything for me and knows exactly how to deal with me. No easy job let me tell you. Interior wise we are almost there so it is all external work now really. I have started to move clothes over to the Studio and will move it all bit by bit over the next few weeks. I am literally a stone’s throw from my previous house so no big removal company needed. The cars will be getting filled up and over and back we go.

The months are starting to blend into one another here at Lisa & Co HQ — and honestly, I think that’s the beauty of building something in such a fast-paced world like cosmetics.

We’ve been overwhelmed (in the best way) by your continued support. Sometimes I have to stop, take a breath, and remind myself just how far the brand has come. We knew we were creating something special — but to see the love you’ve shown the brand in such a short space of time? It’s beyond anything I could have imagined.

June Highlights 
June was non-stop. We pre-launched our beautiful Luxe Makeup Bag and welcomed back two of your most requested products: Lip Luxe and Face Luxe – finally back in stock!

Meanwhile, Skin Luxe and our cult-favourite Fake It ’Til You Make It Mascara continue to shine. (P.S. The mascara sold out again online – and we even handed over our last stock to Dunnes! A restock is expected in October.)

Introducing: Sol Luxe Suncare
To wrap up the month,  pre-orders began for our brand new Sol Luxe Suncare range — and it would seem you love it as much as I do. I’m using it everyday on holidays.

This 3-piece collection is sunshine in a set, and dispatch will begin from July 25th. Thank you for the incredible response!

Looking Ahead to July
One of our most exciting launches yet is nearly here…
The Anti-Redness Primer will launch on July 11th, and it’s a game changer. We shot the campaign this week and the reaction on set was a resounding WOW!  I can’t wait for you to try it.

And for everyone who pre-ordered the UV Primer, your orders will start shipping from July 14th

I say this every month, but I truly mean it every time and feel I can never repeat it enough- your support, your messages, your feedback, your love .. It means the world. This community is something special, and you’re at the heart of every product we create.

Fashion is also flying at the moment thank the lord. This month we will be launching the trench coats and the waistcoats . My carclips will also be coming back into stock. Just in time for the unisex sunglasses which are launching in the next few weeks. They are a really fab pair of glasses and genuinely suit both male and female. I will keep you posted on the order date girls. I have a feeling these will sell out, that’s for sure. The short Summer pyjama sets sold really well. I love the cool touch fabric and I wear mine on repeat. I kid you not especially in this weather. They dry in an instant so an easy turnaround from night to day. Feedback on leggings has been amazing also. One Lady compared them to a tummy tuck lol. Exactly what I think too. We have limited sizes left in stock girls if you pop on to the website.

August is my Birthday month and as usual I go to Boston to Peter & Nadine. Chris is coming out with me this year for a week so I am looking forward to that. I love my two weeks in Boston catching up with them all and getting well fed and watered by Peter the expert Chef and cocktail maker. He makes the best Margaritas ever. Nadine keeps me on the straight and narrow. Walks will be planned with weighted vests and workouts. As I say it is all about the balance girls. Work hard and play hard, that is my mantra.

That’s about all my news for now girls. I hope you all have a great July and those of you going on holidays have the best time.

Thanks so much for everything,

Lots of love,

Lisa xx
