So first and foremost let's get the obvious out of the way, today's post has the least original blog title you may have ever seen - one thing it does well though is state the obvious so hello Space NK haul. On Easter Saturday my mum and I finally ventured to Harrogate for our belated Mothers Day celebration, as predicted I spent more money than sense in Space NK. My mum and I both had pre-bookable make-overs which I would highly recommend - not only do you get to try a few new products and get your make-up done by a beauty boff you can also ask as many questions as possible - my lady Gemma was an absolute star and full of beauty info, perfect for a sponge like me to absorb. Like a right moose I managed to leave my camera at home (I blame the early train journey) but if you follow me on Instagram you may just see a few cheeky shots of my make-up. So let the readers see the beauty booty....

Cane & Austin Retexturizing Treatment Pads - This is my second dabble into the Cane & Austin treatment pads after using the Acne ones before. I've only used these on two occasions so far but my skin already feels softer, smoother and most importantly clearer. The smell is by no means a bed of roses but I actually find these pads nowhere near as astringent as the Acne pads, I promise to keep you updated on these newbies.

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray - Now I'll be honest, this wasn't a necessary, can't-live-without-purchase but after hearing my favourites Anna and Amelia rave about this dry texturising spray I was more than a little intrigued. While the lovely Gemma applied my make-up I quizzed here on Oribe - as soon as I heard this very spray was a favourite with the Space NK Harrogate girls I knew I had to have it. I can't wait to get spraying this into my newly trimmed locks for bad-ass volume, Space NK you're bad to my bank balance!

Rodial Dragon's Blood Hyaluronic Moisturiser with SPF15 - As much as I adore my Perfect Balance moisturiser  from Elemental Herbology a girl has got to have options. Gemma used this on my skin pre primer and tinted moisturiser and the consistency was just beautiful - yes I get excited over moisturisers, plus how amazing is the name? Anything with Hyaluronic Acid always gets my vote so I can't wait to start trying this one out.

Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer in Ivory - If there's one stand out product (so far I might add) then it's got to be this little beauty. Being a bit of a beauty blog reader-holic I'd heard all about the Hourglass Mineral Veil primer and luckily got my hands on a sample in a Space NK event goodie bag (it's utter perfection by the way) yet I never realised Hourglass had an entire make-up range. I've been wearing this tinted moisturiser for the last three days and I don't think I've ever seen my skin look so good, that's a bold statement right there. Consistency wise it's thicker than your typical tinted moisturiser so you only need the tiniest bit to get a lovely, slightly dewy yet natural looking coverage. It could be love!

Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Bronzing Veil in Tropical Days - Now everyone and their dog raves about Nars Laguna Bronzer but I personally find it too muddy on my fair skin tone so when Gemma mentioned using bronzer I pulled a right ol' face. Cue an oh-my-gosh face when she applied this bad boy in all the right places - I needed it in my life but wanted all the other skincare purchases just a little bit more, what a conundrum. Bless my mum for deciding a bronzer was an appropriate Easter gift - fingers crossed I will never grace a blog post looking pale and ghostly ever again.

Even though five products may seem excessive there's even more Space NK bits on my mental birthday wishlist - I'm thinking of you By Terry Hyaluronic Sheer Rouge in Baby Bloom, Revive Moisture Renewal and the Eve Lom Travel Essentials Set. As happy as I am with my new goodies I'm now on a spending ban until my birthday, just twenty four days to wait and with Space NK N-Dulge points burning a beauty shaped hole in my pocket... bad things could happen.

Do you love Space NK as much as me? Which beauty buys are you longing to try?
