I popped into London for a few days recently, and naturally, I had to make a beeline for SpaceNK. Whenever I’m in the city, it’s my beauty shopping haven. Unlike the sometimes overwhelming and frenetic beauty halls of Selfridges and Harrods, SpaceNK feels curated, calm, and blissfully low-pressure. The staff are helpful but not pushy, so you can browse in peace. If you need help, they’re there – if not, you’re left to your own devices. It’s shopping, but without the stress.
My favourite branch has to be Duke of York, just a short walk from Sloane Square. It’s a gorgeous store, and if you’re like me, you’ll be pleased to know Zara’s right behind it, and it’s arguably the best Zara in London. Of course, I didn’t limit myself to just one SpaceNK store – I also hit up the Westfield, Knightsbridge, and Battersea Power Station branches!
Here’s what I hauled this time:
Naturium Retinol Body Lotion
Naturium’s body products have been a win for me so far, so I decided to try their Retinol Body Lotion. The blue packaging and ‘retinol’ on the label caught my eye. I spend so much time applying retinoids to my face, it’s high time I extend that love to my body.
Byredo Bal D’Afrique
I’ve been searching for a new fragrance, and from the moment I smelled Bal D’Afrique, I knew it was the one. I was originally tempted by Mojave Ghost, but the beauty advisor in SpaceNK suggested I give this one a try. She sprayed it on my arm and I left. A few hours later I went back to get it because I just could not stop smelling my arm. It smells bloody gorgeous.
Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Acid Revitalizing Toner
With winter coming, I wanted to stock up on hydrating toners. This one caught my attention because of its slightly gel-like texture, which I think will be perfect for colder months.
The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner
I’ve been reading rave reviews about this toner, so naturally, I had to give it a try. I’m excited to see how it fares.
SpaceNK Gift with Purchase
I’d love to say I didn’t spend extra just to get the gift with purchase, but that would be an absolute lie.
