Hi Girl’s,
The much anticipated and long awaited Red Jumper has landed and is ready for immediate dispatch. Those of you following me will know that I am wearing this jumper since last November and I absolutely love it. It’s such a vibrant and fabulous colour that will go with so much for you. A real wardrobe workhorse. I will have trousers coming in a few months to match which I know you will all adore. It fits exactly the same as the burgundy and biscuit striped jumper so go with the same size. I cannot wait to hear what you think. CLICK HERE TO BUY
June is almost upon us and halfway point of the year. My newsletter is going out a few days early as I don’t want the girls working over the weekend and even better, a Bank Holiday weekend, what’s not to love. It is hard to believe the secondary schools are done for another year. I know for many reading it is a stressful weekend before the Leaving & Junior Cert. I think from my experience the buildup is nearly worse. Once they get the first one done and over it settles down and they almost just go with it. A few more weeks and it will be all over and you can relax a little. Thinking of you all! We all remember the Leaving Cert especially… I still have nightmares about it.
Well it has been manic in my life as you all know. The house is progressing and it really is all the exciting parts now. It is probably equal part excitement and stress if you get me. I am by nature a perfectionist so I have the team driven demented down there. I have waited and worked a long long time for it and I just want it to be perfect. I have to give a big shout out to Colin here. We are working on the project together for over two years now and he really has gone above and beyond for us. I could not recommend them enough. He sends me off when I am getting stressed and keeps me updated by phone. It is funny actually. I will miss them all when it is done, not sure they will miss me though lol… I plan on moving in properly in July. I just want everything done and dusted and literally time for the dust to settle in the house although I know that will take time. I will keep you all updated on stories as we progress. I am really really happy with it so lets hope it continues.
I am away today at a very special shoot. All will be revealed in a few weeks but this really is a pinch me moment and almost a full circle shoot for me. I am a little nervous and shoots always make me feel a little uncomfortable but I am very lucky to be surrounded by a great team who help me and calm me down, settle the nerves almost. I genuinely cannot wait to share it with you and I have the most fabulous pieces picked out for it. As they say, all will be revealed.
Chris and I had a lovely few days in Istanbul. We covered a huge amount of ground. I said to Chris can we relax a little and maybe not invade the City. Invasion happened and we saw every site there was to see. I was wrecked coming home but as I said in my stories City breaks are like that. You just want to cover as much ground as you can in a short space of time. I decided this year that I was going to travel more and make more time for myself. Work hard, play hard as they say. At the end of the month I am heading off with Daragh. We go away every year for a week’s holiday. I let him decide on the location. I am delighted that he still wants to go on holiday with me. We are heading to Miami and from there going on a Caribbean Cruise for seven days. I think all in all we will be gone for ten days. We will do all the day trips and see as much as we can. That is the great thing about the Cruise holidays, waking up in a different Country every morning. We have one night in Miami on the way out and one on the way back so it will be nice to see there also. As I said I just love to travel and visit new places. I will keep you all updated on my stories. I will be like great travelling Uncle Matt for those of you old enough to remember him from Fraggle Rock lol….
Lisa & Co is just crazy busy but I am beyond grateful to you all for the support you show to me and to the brand. When you are working away on a product and then sign it off in my head I move to the next piece. When delivery times come then I am like oh yes time to launch again. This past month we have had hugely successful launches and I have lots more to come in June. I will be launching navy trousers with the white stripe along with the plain white T-Shirts in both a V and a Round neck. There will be a restock of the classic sunglasses in all three colours and the car clips are also coming back into stock this month. The short PJ sets are also arriving later in the month and the long awaited Trench Coat that I have worked for two years on will also be arriving. I have the jumpers also in a pink and green colour ready to go so will keep you all posted. I am also working on some really really exciting products for the Christmas market. I think you are all going to love them. It is very exciting and I absolutely love it.
The cosmetics like what can I say about cosmetics? I am blown away… May has been another whirlwind month at Lisa and Co Cosmetics!
I’m absolutely thrilled to share that our UV Primer SPF 50 pre-launch has been a huge success and it’s all thanks to you! The July Pre Order is already almost sold out, and I’m honestly worrying about having enough stock ready for Christmas. (I know what a brilliant problem this is to have!)
This is the launch I’ve been most excited for. I can’t wait for you to have it in your makeup bags. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it now! Next week, we’re also welcoming back two of your favourites: the Lip Luxe Trios and Face Luxe, the pre-order will be closing soon on both. CLICK HERE to pre-order yours now.
This month, we’re celebrating the success of the UV Primer while preparing for two more exciting launches set for the end of June/beginning of July : our Anti-Redness Primer and the Sol Luxe Suncare range.
I truly never expected this kind of growth so soon after launching just last February, and it’s all thanks to your incredible support and belief in both me and the brand. Your enthusiasm only drives us to keep creating the very best products for you. It’s non-stop here and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Well that is all my news girls. Let’s just hope and pray that the good weather returns and that we get better weather this Summer than last year. Once again I want to say a huge “Thank You” to each and every one of you. Without you all none of this would be happening. I will never lose sight of that and always will be so appreciative. For those of you heading on holiday in June have the best time and I will chat soon.
Lots of love,
Lisa xx
