Beauty enthusiasts gathered to celebrate the opening of multi-award- winning Irish brand Ayu Cosmetics’ first permanent store, with the first 100 shoppers receiving an goodie bag full of Ayu’s fan favourites.
The opening of a unit in Mahon Point Shopping Centre follows from a pop-up store in Kildare Village. The Mahon Point unit spans 1030 square feet.
