Desire Lines: A Penneys powersuit, a reimagined Twirl, and the return of a cult shampoo
The co-ord We see your buttermilk yellow co-ord and raise you this papaya variety from Penneys. A blazer, €26, longline waistcoat, €18, and tailored skort, €14 (fine when we aren't running around pitches), completes this spring/summer powerhouse. The exhibition Bob Quinn, Best Night Ever, will feature on the grounds of Cork's five-star Castlemartyr Resort. Ireland's biggest art and sculpture event will return to Cork's five-star Castlemartyr Resort this June. Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Banksy, Julian Opie, and Bob Quinn are among those exhibiting at Art and Soul, a free exhibition of 90 large sculptures and installations, with over 70 more on display inside the hotel. Hosted by Gormleys, the event is open to the public from 11am to 7pm from June 1 to 29, with guided tours running at 12pm, 3pm, and 5pm daily. The shampoo Lush's Ginger shampoo, €24 for 275g pot Did you know that, before Lush was born, its founders supplied The Body Shop with some of its most iconic products? Sadly, The Body Shop entered into administration last year, and many fans will have been forced to find alternatives to their favourite products... Well, we've got good news. Lush has now started making products from those recipes it gave away so long ago, which means the return of cult classics such as ginger shampoo and banana conditioner. We picked up the former last week and can happily report a flake-free scalp and shiny, sleek locks. Hurrah! The eye makeup remover OPTASE Life Sensitive Eye Makeup Remover If the fine weather has also brought the return of itchy, watery eyes, we feel your pain. Can we recommend scrapping your usual cleanser for a formula specifically designed for sensitive eyes? The skin around the eyes is six to 10 times thinner than the rest of our face, so it makes sense that it needs some extra care. Optase Life's ophthalmologist-approved sensitive eye makeup remover doesn't contain preservatives or fragrances that can disrupt our skin's natural barrier and irritate the ocular surface. Available in Boots, pharmacies, and opticians. €9.98. The hard iced tea Lay Low iced tea How many of us have returned from a holiday or trip abroad thinking, 'why don't we do that here?' Well, Cian Stanley came back from his J1 in the States with a similar thought and decided to start a business. He's just launched Ireland's first non-sparkling hard iced tea. With 4.5% ABV and just 90 calories a can, it's a sugar-free option for those looking for a lighter alcoholic beverage this summer. Available in peach and lemon varieties, it is stocked in select Dunnes Stores, Centra, Applegreen, and off-licences across the country. €36 per 12 pack. The chocolate The new Twirl White Dipped from Cadbury The Cadbury Twirl is one of the Irish chocolate brand's most iconic bars. Now, it's getting a makeover. The Twirl White Dipped, available for a limited time only, is dunked in velvety smooth white chocolate. It has us pining for the return of the Dream bar... €1.75. The event The Cork Carnival of Science takes place at Fitzgerald Park on June 7 and 8. Picture: Darragh Kane Cork's Carnival of Science returns on June 7 and 8 to Fitzgerald's Park. Ireland's largest outdoor Stem experience, supported by Cork City Council and Research Ireland, is a free family event. Expect interactive exhibits, demonstrations, and roaming science performers who mix juggling, bubbles, and street theatre with real-world science know-how. The highlight? RTÉ's Mark the Science Guy presents Storm Chaser — a thrilling sit-down science show that explores the power of weather and electricity.
