For a long time Space NK has been my happy place, that destination store that I have to find whenever I'm in a new city so you can imagine my glee when I discovered a store was finally coming to York. I can't tell you the number of times I've visited York ready to hit up my favourite beauty boutique only to remember there isn't one so walking through those newly painted doors I had a real 'about time' moment. Located on busy Davygate sandwiched between Hobbs and Accessorize you can't miss the beauty and lifestyle mecca complete with an elevated luxe interior - think the usual chic Space NK interior you know and love but with modern finishes and sleek new signage, LOVE.
Visiting on opening day (the 10th December) I was treated to a mini make over by Space NK artist Grace - check out the results on Insta. One of the best things about Space NK is the breadth of brands available, don't get me wrong a make up counter refresh is always awesome but it's so much better when the artist isn't forced to push just one brand, the end result is more considered and reflective of your own make-up bag. With so much beauty knowledge at my finger tips I asked Grace which brand she'd use if she could only pick one and was surprised to discover the answer was BECCA, a brand that's now at the top of my to try list. When it came to skincare Grace and PR maven Jini agreed Sunday Rileys Luna was the best thing since sliced bread, I managed to get my Cult & Smith painted mitts (SO worth the hype) on a sample so watch this space for my thoughts.
I've been a huge fan of Space NK Leeds (my local store) for a long time but I think it's safe to say my heart has been won by another - York has all of the brands from Margaret Dabbs to the aforementioned Sunday Riley and Cult & Smith plus amazing and knowledgable beauty lovin' team.
So when are you planning a visit to York?

I've got a space nk in the town i grew up in! how much i love it. It is however small and doesn't have every brand under the sun that I need to see and use! The sixties liner on you looks fab, a favourite look xx

Thank you Isobel, I should practice and try and perfect the look myself! Oh that's so lucky, you can't beat a local Space NK but it's definitely nice to venture to the larger ones too.
