On Thursday night after work I hot footed it to the Space NK Holiday Preview to have a peek at their holiday gift sets and seasonal items. There was a wide selection of gifts and limited edition items any of which I would be happy to give or receive!
The Space NK team did a fantastic job of creating a warm festive atmosphere in spite of it being an unseasonably balmy November evening. The holiday items were beautifully displayed in a gorgeous hotel suite: 'The Thompson Suite' at The Beekman Hotel in Lower Manhattan (thebeekmanhotel.com).
Drinks and canapes were available and there was a pretty amazing gift bag that I received as I left. I love a good gift bag and this one is quite exceptional!
Here's a look inside...
Skincare and Make up.
There are some lovely skin treats in this gift bag.
For cleansing, a sample of Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm which is a beautifully indulgent cleanser - I'm always happy to get samples of this as it's one of the most expensive cleansers out there! It's no secret that I'm not a huge fan of Eve Lom but I'm actually quite excited to try out the new Gel Balm Cleanser which is formulated with Shea Butter and Grape Seed Oil rather than the mineral oils previously found in Eve Lom products.
There are also samples of Kat Burki Bio Correcting Cream, 111Skin Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel, and ByTerry Baume de Rose, all of which are luxury skincare items that I'm always happy to be given!
The bag also contains a half sized Smith and Cult Lip Gloss in the shade 'Flesh Riot', a pinky nude shot through with a festive gold shimmer.
Haircare.
There are six haircare items in the bag and they are all generous samples or full sized items.
From R+Co a full sized Death Valley Dry Shampoo and a sample of High Dive which is a leave in conditioning cream. I already love Death Valley, it has the most wonderful fig fragrance and it adds a nice amount of grit to my hair that adds texture. I have got along with all of the R+Co products that I have tried so far so I'm happy to try out High Dive (I like to use a daily conditioning cream on my hair while it is damp).
There are generous sized samples of Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo and OUAI Wave Spray. I have quite a stash of dry shampoos (this one is very much a shampoo rather than a texturiser) and salt like sprays but I do use both fairly frequently. These are both good products and I will certainly get around to using them.
I can never have enough shampoos to try out so I'm looking forward to using Miriam Quevedo White Caviar Shampoo, sulphate free, this will be perfect to use on my coloured hair.
The final hair product is Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt. I have seen this innovative shampoo and scalp cleanser all over the place and I'm looking forward to testing this out very much! This is a full sized 75ml pot as well so I expect to get quite a few uses out of it.
Perfume and Body Care.
Diptyque is possibly my favourite perfume house so I'm always thrilled with any samples I get from them. I'm especially happy whenever it's a 10ml sample of one of their newly formulated Eau de Parfums. 'Do Son' is a tuberose based scent with notes of neroli and rose and a touch of musk to 'dirty it up' and stop it from being overtly floral, it is a very wearable everyday scent for me.
The bag also contains a sample of Aromatherapy Associates Lavender and Peppermint Bath and Shower Oil which is a very aromatic and relaxing addition to any bath.
I'm so happy with my unexpected gift bag (which is worth over $250.00!) and although I will use everything in it I am particularly looking forward to trying out the Eve Lom Gel Cleansing Balm, the Christophe Robin Sea Salt Scrub and wearing Diptyque Do Son.
It's never too early to start consider your holiday shopping and Space NK have some great gift ideas. www.spacenk.com/us
