PICS: Inside Goss.ie’s 10th birthday bash

Goss.ie hosted a huge party to celebrate their milestone 10th birthday on Wednesday night.

A host of well-known faces joined founder and CEO Alexandra Ryan for the festival-themed bash to mark a decade in business in style.

On the night, attendees were surprised by an iconic performance from noughties boyband Five, who had everyone up on their feed.

The noughties icons belted out a number of their hit songs including Everybody Get Up, Got The Feelin, and Keep on Movin.

The glitzy party took place at the Harcourt Bar & Garden – where guests enjoyed drinks from a pop-up Smirnoff bar, which served margarita cocktails using their new Spicy Tamarind vodka.

Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind is a bold combination of tangy tamarind with notes of fresh lime and finished with a spicy blend of Mexican-inspired chillies.

During the party, guests also enjoyed festival beauty top-ups by BiaBelle Beauty – who showcased their impressive collection of products, which range from tan to makeup and lashes.

BiaBelle has been in business for just over six years, and was founded by Irish sisters Aoibhinn and Bláthnaid with their mother Susan Murphy in December 2017.

Guests on the night included Muireann O’Connell, Adam Fogarty, Brooke Scullion, Chloe Ormond, Paul Ryder, Andrea Gilligan, Maura Rath, Paddy Smyth, Rob Kenny, Rosalind Lipsett, and Pamela Laird.

Miss Ireland Jasmine Gerhart, Pamela Uba, Aoife Grace Moore, Kate Grant, Kerri-Nicole Blanc, Mandy Maher, Miss Universe Ireland Aishah Akorede, Nia Gallagher, Rebekah O’Leary, and boyband Next In Line were also pictured on the pink carpet.

Attendees also went home with a luxury goodie bag, including treats from all Irish companies including Ailinithe, Nuala Woulfe, Blank Canvas Cosmetics, Éalu Candles, Oíche Apothecary, Cleeves Confectionary, and BiaBelle Beauty.
