THE

Story OF MILLIES Millies was founded in 2007 by Joann Mahon, Kildare born beauty therapist and entrepreneur. Originally a salon-based service specialising in advanced skincare, the brand evolved in 2010 to become Ireland’s premium online beauty platform, Millies.ie.

Today we have a team of almost 50 spread across Ireland and over 200+ Irish and international luxury beauty brands making Millies.ie the go-to Irish destination for the best in beauty from those who know best.

We are committed to offering a collection of skincare, haircare, and wellness products of the highest quality, that are results driven and have been approved and recommended by our beauty experts. Our award-winning customer service team ensures a seamless customer experience from the first interaction, whether that is in our shop in Kildare or online, product delivery information and follow-up advice.

Value for our customers can be seen in our expertled solution bundles, fairly priced products, and regular free gifts with purchases. We are constantly working on new ways to help you spread the costs, with alternative payment plans such as Klarna, which was added to the website this year, and we continuously strive to bring the best offerings to our loyal customers.

LETTER FROM

MILLIES MD

t’s that time of year again, where once more I would like to take the opportunity to thank our customers for all their incredible support this year and for supporting Irish businesses, it means so much to us. I would also like to give our community an insight into the extensive Christmas offering available this year at Millies.ie.

2023 was another year that brought it’s challenges, this time in the form of a cost-of-living crisis, amongst others. However, thanks to a very resilient team, our amazing customers, and the support of our incredible brand partners, we were able to roll out all the stops to ensure that our customers, both loyal and new, could continue to purchase the beauty products that make them look and feel amazing, and our Christmas offering is no exception to that.

Christmas begins very early every year at Millies, and this year was no different. Our buying team worked tirelessly on securing some of the most luxurious, yet affordable gift sets from over 200 world-class beauty brands. We have even taken our Christmas offering to a whole new level this year, with a bespoke range of beauty boxes for the women and men in your life. We have a ‘build-your-own-gift’ feature live on the site, which allows you to curate the perfect gift for a loved one with all of their favourite products. Even better, this year you can send the perfect gift to someone special anywhere in Europe at a very competitive shipping price. We also really wanted to help our customers spread the cost of Christmas and so this year we launched our Christmas store earlier than ever before.

We also added Klarna to the site so that customers can split the cost of their gifting across three interest-free instalments.

It’s also worth noting for anyone new to Millies, that our team of highly trained beauty experts are always available to help you select the perfect product or gift for you or someone special. You can rest assured that our award-winning customer service team will revert to you with all the answers you need. Just check out our exceptional Trustpilot reviews for reassurance.

Once again, I would like to thank you all so much for taking the time to shop at Millies.ie and please enjoy all that we have to offer for the 2023 festive season.

Love Jo

My favourite brand is Irish brand Pestle & Mortar. I love their essentials range for the whole family.

I love the Image Skincare brand but especially the hydrating sheet mask at this time of year for keeping my skin hydrated during the colder weather.

LAURENA Social Media Specialist I love Sculpted by Aimee because it’s probably the best Irish makeup brand on the market in my eyes. Love Hydratint for an everyday foundation as it’s so light and doesn’t feel heavy but gives a gorgeous glow to the skin.

Best in Beauty FROM THOSE WHO KNOW BEST MEET SOME OF OUR SUPERSTARS

LINDA Customer Experience Manager My favourite brand at the moment is Skin Formulas and I absolutely love their Hydra Serum.

I always swear by Alfaparf’s moisture shampoo, it leaves my hair feeling extremely soft, and I find it gives my hair the moisture it needs, especially during these cold months when the weather is harsh.

I love Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Light Tones. It is a must have for me and I can’t be without it for keeping my hair fresh between washes and the smell is amazing too.

Your EXPERT LED GIFT GUIDE WITH

Joanne Kelly O’Hara

the Kérastase Blonde Absolu range for keeping her stunning blonde hair hydrated.

One of her top picks from Millies is the L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.

ART Pli Shaper for its impeccable hold and ability to prevent your curls falling throughout the day. Joanne recommends spraying the product liberally and blast drying your hair while gently smoothing it with a paddle brush. To finish a style, she uses the Morrocanoil Dry Texture Spray for extra hold and longevity.

We’ve had the privilege of working with the talented Joanne Kelly O’Hara for the past 2 years and we know our customers respect her expert knowledge in haircare as much as we do.

Make sure you follow Joanne on Instagram: @joannekellyohara

Joanne has been loving the Shark Flex Style 5-in1 Air Styling & Drying System for creating everything from a voluminous wave to bouncy curls. She adores

Our go-to makeup expert and all-round beauty specialist is the lovely Lisa Shannon and we were so excited to work with her throughout the year.

Lisa has the utmost knowledge in her field and knows exactly how to create everyday makeup looks that our Millies customers love. Whether you’re looking to master a soft smokey eye or a flawless base that won’t budge, Lisa is the one you need to follow for all her makeup tips and tricks.

Some top product picks

Lisa Shannon

from Lisa at Millies this year include the All Nighter Primer and Brow Blade from Urban Decay which she says are never far from her kit. Another favourite of Lisa’s, is the Image Ormedic Lip Treatment for restoring your lip barrier and creating the perfect base for any lip liner, lipstick or gloss.

A top tip from Lisa; always start with a small amount of foundation on your brush and build it up as you go.

Make sure you follow Lisa on Instagram: @_lisa_shannon_makeup
