'What's with men, I'm thinking of my husband when I say this. He's just so naturally tanned, blond, great head of hair, doesn't have to do anything, and here I am dying my hair, getting tanned.
'... I feel like he's getting better as he gets older, and I feel like what's that about?!' Pippa O'Connor tells EVOKE at the launch of her first self-tan line at The Shelbourne.

By all accounts, the mum-of-three has evened the odds with her other half with the release of The Tanning Collection, which she explains puts skincare first instead of the other way round.

Leading the list of the who's who was rugby wag Sophie Van Der Flier, who was glowing in a cream ensemble on the night.
Sophie's look consisted of tailored trousers and a crossover-style smock top that was embellished with sequins and silver pointy shoes.
Also stepping out on the night was GAA wag Niamh De Brún, who turned heads in a hot pink blazer, which she styled with a floral shift dress.

Dominique Nugent also made an appearance on the day, as did Avila Lipsett and Bonnie Ryan.
The glitzy launch was hosted at the outdoor Terrace of the Shelbourne hotel, with model and DJ January Winters setting the mood for the occasion with a summer soundtrack.

Guests sipped on cocktails as Pippa chatted about all things tanning, which included the skin-first approach to self-tanning with skincare expert Simone Gannon.
