London – A visit to Space NK

18/08/10

Hi girls! Before starting, I wanted to inform you/apologize about the fact that the blog will now be a bit slower around theses days, since my time in London is coming toan end and I’m reaching that luggage-last minute purchases-last minute things todo-going back to Brazil-dropping by the people I’ll miss stage!!

For all that, I am not managing to write very elaborate posts, but I will try to keep talking about London as much as I can and I’ll keep showing you photos of nice stores & places here in this city that, inmy humble opinion, is way better than the USto buy beauté products because there is every-thing, from a bargain to more charming stuff not forgetting the super chic and exciting products…Reminding you that under the “Travel” tag you can find everything I mentioned about London sofar!

Let’s now go to Space NK, which is one ofmy all time favourite stores:

It’s true that it’s really hard to pick a favourite in London, after all, each store works best for eachkind of customer or need (you know, if you’re looking for lots of variety the department stores are ideal, if you want a bargain go to a drugstore etc.) and there is the exclusive factor also – certain brands, or new products, are sold exclusively in certain stores, soif you want, for instance, a Burberry makeup product, an Illamasqua lipstick and a MAC Pro blush you’ll have to visit 3 different stores (Harrod’s, Selfridges and MAC at Soho, in this case).

BUT, still, I feel an inner joy every time I walk by a Space NK, because I think ofitas a genius store. Itis basically a place where you can find well curated beauty brands, there are lots ofproducts and brands but not in excess and it’s quite friendly tobe looking around and making great finds. In this case, curated content really is the keyword, and everything seems to have been tested and approved by Nikki Kinnard, founder of the store, who is also fanatic about beauty products and loves to find new things and different brands to sell.

Above you can get a glimpse of one of the many stores you can find around London – if you can only visit one of them, I suggest you go to Knightsbridge, Kings Road or Notting Hill, which are among the largest and, therefore, have more options

The best way to know all the brands and products they sell istogoto the Space NK official website, here. Just to give you an idea, there you can find makeup products by Jemma Kidd, Chantecaille, Laura Mercier, Shu Uemura, Nars and By Terry, and hair products by Bumble & Bumble, Philip B and Oribe (soooo chic) and a bunch of skincare brands – for the ones who love a good cream it’s a paradise!

These are the products by Jemma Kidd, a British makeup artist who happens tobe the sister of the top model Jodie Kidd (remember her?) and has a super nice makeup school, there is the super cute beauty line with pink packaging and a beautiful book I own and love! Basically, itis a place full of brands to discover – that’s why itis also nice to browse their website and the magazine (a bit more about it above) they give you at the store, full of tips and info about the products.

I super recommend the visit!
