Saturday was another great day to shop for beauty items as it was Space NK Autumn Beauty Edit.
This is one of my favourite events to shops as in addition to the amazing GWP pictured above - just look at it! - there are various vendors offering treatments in participating stores. This year I had a lovely mini facial with Tracie Martyn products and a hand and arm massage featuring MIO products.
Whilst the Barneys Love Yourself event sees me stocking up on make up items and things for Mr C&C I generally buy most of my skincare from Space NK. This year I bought two serums: Sunday Riley Good Genes which I've talked about a million times and Chantecaille Vital Essence, a wonderfully light serum that smells faintly of rose and plumps and hydrates skin whilst soothing redness.
I'm also just about out of texturing sprays for my hair so I picked up a large Oribe Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray. This gives the same results as a salt spray but leaves you with tousled locks without any 'crunch' and (like other Oribe products) it smells gorgeous.
I already had some NDulge points saved up and as I preordered my bag by the time Saturday rolled around the points for that day's purchases had already applied. I used them for the Surf Shampoo and Conditioner from Bumble and Bumble - more products that I love and have mentioned a million times before.
SpaceNK always have the best goodie bags as gifts and I think they really outdid themselves this time! Inside a large clear plastic toiletry bag there were thirty three products that were all either full sized, travel sized or very generously sized samples.
And there was a great selection of products...
Five for the body (although the James Read Tan Accelerator and Hampton Sun Hydrating Aloe Mist can also be used for the face) including a full sized Leif Hand Balm. Three lip products including a full sized Lipstick Queen Chinatown Glossy Pencil in the shade 'Catalina' and two mascaras.
There was only one perfume sample but it is a generous 12ml handbag sized spray of Diptyque Tam Dao which is a warm, woody perfume with spicy notes - perfect for the autumn and just the type of scent that I love. (There were a variety of different scents available).
There were also six haircare products and sixteen skincare items. As ever I'm thrilled by the skincare items - two cleansers, three eye creams, three serums, a couple of moisturizers and six targeted treatments.
It is a truly superb gift bag that I am overjoyed with. There are a few products here that I'm familiar with alongside lots of new things to be experimented with. I'm sure I'm going to discover a few must haves to add to my shopping list in the future!
