Space NK Haul

Space NK Haul

I made my first visit to Space NK a few months back and thought I would share my thoughts on the products I purchased and the experience in store.

Now I like to shop ALOT!!! I can happily spend a whole day or weekend traipsing back and fourth to every shop I pass spending around 10 minutes or so in each but Space NK is the one place where I could spend flippin hours- as I did this day, much to the disappointment of my cousins boyfriend who ended up almost falling asleep on one of the shops chairs, whilst I dragged my cousin from counter to counter with excitement! 

Algenist Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector Gel Moisturiser

First up on my wish list was a moisturiser and Algenist was the brand I was gravitating towards. I had read up on the brand quite a bit before visiting the store and as well as the positive reviews the main thing that interested me was the many ingredients that the moisturiser contains including Alguronic Acid and salicylic acid, which claims to have significant anti-aging properties and brighten dull skin. I went for the Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector Gel Moisturiser, which is oil free and perfect for my skin type. I have been using this moisturiser for about 1 month now and have noticed a difference in my skin, it's brighter and feels hydrated throughout the day. It also provides a great basis for my makeup too. It retails for £50 for a 60ml pot which I know is quite expensive for a moisturiser but I have been very impressed with the quality of the product. 

Eve Lom Cleanser

The second skincare purchase was Eve Lom's Cleanser, which smells divine and feels very luxurious on the skin. You literally need the tiniest amount and on first application it feels like it has an almost exfoliator type feel but the granules instantly smooth out and the product becomes like an oil on the skin. I use this to remove my makeup with a muslin cloth, when I apply it I leave the product to work into the skin for around 2 minutes and then using warm water remove my makeup. I find it a little heavy to use as a morning cleanser so tend to use this only in the evenings but so far I am really happy with it. 

Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer

I had never tried any products from Hourglass before but since purchasing this, I now have several things on my wish list (including their ambient light powders and blush/bronzer duo palettes!!!) This primer feels like silk when applied, is waterproof, contains SPF 15 and provides a beautiful base for my foundation. 

By Terry Cover Expert Foundation

            

I love this foundation!!! The finish, texture and coverage is beautiful and as a bonus, like all By Terry products has a rose scent which I love :) I was really torn between this and the sheer expert but I loved the finish of this just as much and with autumn fast approaching I thought this would serve me better. 

The foundation is described as achieving a  'flawless-velvet radiance' and I think this sums up the foundation completely. Despite the coverage the foundation still feels very light and a little goes a long way- if you are passing a Space NK store definitely check this out :) Let me know if you would like to see some pictures of the foundation in a makeup of the day post.

Thank you so much for reading and let me know if your space NK wish lists :)
