We can't wait!

Bellamianta has long been a favourite among Irish girls craving that perfect golden glow, especially during the depths of winter, and now we can finally browse their products in person.

The shop will span two floors (3,875 sq ft) and has been designed to showcase a mix of Irish and international brands alongside Bellamianta.

Shoppers will soon be able to pick up Bellamianta products at Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, with the opening set for March 7.

The shop will carry products from Annutri, Ealu-Moments, Ella & Jo, Glow For It, Hair Syrup, Polished London, Sadie Secrets, Sea + Soul, Seoulista Beauty, and Skin Nerd.

Other brands set to be stocked include STORIES Parfums, The Belle Brush, The Smooth Company, Twin Secrets, We Are Paradox, Colour WOW, K18, LMD Beauty, FarmaVita, Little Penny Thoughts, and Sass & Boho.

In addition, the opening will also bring some new employment opportunities to the area, with seven roles created across full-time and part-time positions, and more to follow.

Founder and CEO of Bellamianta, Linda Stinson, said: "Opening our first-ever store is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time."

Linda continued: "Bellamianta started as a small Irish brand with big ambitions, and to now be creating a physical space where customers can come and experience the brand properly, while also discovering and supporting so many other brilliant brands and independently-owned businesses - feels incredibly special. I’m so excited to finally see it come to life. We can’t wait to welcome everyone in," per Evoke.

Bellamianta first launched over a decade ago when founder Linda spotted a gap in the market after her own wedding-day tanning mishap.

Since then, the brand has expanded into makeup, complexion products, and body care, achieving great success and securing a presence in thousands of chemists and beauty retailers nationwide.

By all accounts, the new store is set to be a hit and definitely worth a trip up north! I have a feeling a girls’ shopping trip might be on the cards.
