As the founder of Lash Star Beauty, my go-to beauty staples are centered around achieving flawless lashes. Our Full Control Lash Sculpting Mascara is a non-negotiable. It's the reason behind starting the brand – an all-in-one mascara that sets the tone for my day. Paired with Lash Star’s Pure Pigment Kohl Liner, I can effortlessly transition from a daytime glow to a sultry evening look. The buildable nature of these products allows me to start subtle and dial up the drama.
Best Beauty Investments:
Investing in quality beauty tools is a priority. I swear by Westman Atelier makeup brushes – a complete splurge but worth every penny. Gucci Westman's expertise in beauty tools is unmatched. Meeting her at a Taylor Swift concert was a highlight. Another recent purchase is the Cryo Cool device from Seoulista Beauty, offering a refreshing serum application for vibrant skin, especially during my frequent travels.
Favorite Shopping Destinations:
Navigating the vast cosmetics market, Sephora in the U.S. is my go-to for discovering new brands, from celebrity lines to emerging indie names. Joyce Beauty in Hong Kong is a treasure trove for exploring Asian brands. When visiting home, Dublin’s T2 Duty Free is a favorite pitstop, indulging in brands like Pat McGrath, Hourglass, Augustinus Bader, and more.
Cherished Irish Beauty Product:
Voya holds a special place in my heart for its sustainable luxury ethos. The Effervescence seaweed and sugar body scrub are my go-to for a revitalizing full-body experience, bringing a touch of Ireland to my beauty routine.
All-Time Favorite Beauty Item:
Chanel’s Baume Essentiel glow balm is my secret weapon for a fresh, dewy look. Its stick formula highlights my features, providing a youthful glow that I cherish.
Current Covet:
I’m eyeing Acqua Di Parma's car diffuser – a stylish yellow leather case diffuser for delightful journeys. It's a perfect travel companion for me as a busy mom always on the go.
Loveliest Perfume Bottle:
Acqua di Parma’s Colonia Intensa remains a timeless favorite. The wood and leather accords, coupled with the art deco-inspired bottle, make it a standout classic on my vanity.
Home Fragrance:
Soilse candles, an Irish brand, in particular, the Turf and Abhaile scents. They bring the essence of Ireland to my New York home. The warm, familiar yet exotic fragrances are a unique touch that I adore.
Foundation of Choice:
For a natural look, Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer is my go-to. It's light, oil-free, and offers a great shade selection, providing the perfect base for a 'no-makeup' makeup look.
Beauty Ethos:
My beauty philosophy revolves around keeping things light, except for mascara and fragrance – I like to enter a room feeling elegant, sexy and confident, yet causing a little stir!
