7 Cork Beauty Buffs To Follow

It’s almost time for our first inaugural Beaut-Tea?event, taking place in the ever-wonderful city of Cork on?Sunday, October 2nd in the incredible surroundings of Hayfield Manor. We’re pulling out all the stops; we’ll have top beauty pros on hand to offer advice and tips, gorgeous goodie bags, seriously tasty treats (with a spot of afternoon tea) with plenty of surprises. While we count down the days, we thought there was no better time to look at some of the talented beauty/fashion buffs, influencers, and bloggers that hail from Cork, and here are seven of our current favourites (in no particular order):
