Ready, steady, glow!

Award-winning Irish beauty brand Bellamianta has opened its first standalone store, marking an exciting new chapter for founder Linda Stinson and the much-loved tanning brand.

The stylish launch event welcomed well-known faces including Elaine Crowley, Mandy Maher, Ally Garvey, Jennifer Rock and celebrity make-up artist Paddy McGurgan, alongside leading beauty insiders and brand founders. Spanning almost 4,000 sq. ft across two floors, the new beauty destination brings together Bellamianta’s signature tanning and cosmetics collections alongside an impressive edit of Irish and international brands including Ella & Jo, Skingredients, K18, STORIES Parfums and Seoulista Beauty.

The opening represents the next step in Bellamianta’s growth journey, bringing its signature ‘Bella Glow’ to life in a dedicated retail space designed for discovery, community and immersive beauty experiences. As the beauty writer for the Cork Independent I was delighted to attend the opening in Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon and show my support particularly around International Women’s Day.
