If you buy from QVC you can try it and send it back for a refund within 28 days. You have to pay postage though. They do lots of good brands like bobbi brown,prescriptives and philosophy.

i third space nk, i don't find it in the slightest bit hard-sell. unlike frasers or jenners.

come with me to space nk next time you're in glasgow. i know the manageress there, so if she's in you'll get treated like a lovely princess. but tbh they'd treat you well regardless ime.

I just feel guilty if I don't buy much, Aitch. I'm not sure why, but I do.

But cod, some stuff you can pretty much only get in a Space NK, except if you have a Harvey Nichols.

Like Nars or Kiehl's.

I do like MAC for foundations and powders in the like, because they were among the first to design products for olive-toned but fair skin and their products are also good for combination skin that breaks out easily.

it was Laura Mercier healing balm, lapin?

i must know what it is!

i bought my pal a gift voucher for Lush and they gave me a free solid perfume that's pretty nice - DD1 uses it .

I LOVE their blocky eyeliner
It sticks to me like glue

You might just have very erm .. oily eyes...

AitchTwoCiao · 08/06/2008 20:30

darphin an excellent brand, formed around the same time as clarins but never went mega.

i'm allergic to mac, cod... and as for nars colours being boring, you are nuts, fish.

expatinscotland · 08/06/2008 20:31

oooo, i used to LOVE nars.

i had the mulitple stick in Malibu. was brill, makes me think of summer.

AitchTwoCiao · 08/06/2008 20:33

btw expat, i bet if you went into space nk and said 'i have x to spend and i need you to solve x problem' they would effortlessly take that in their stride...

expatinscotland · 08/06/2008 20:34

nah, i can't face it, aitch. it's just too embarrassing.

i went in Edinburgh, but i had really specific things to buy.

AitchTwoCiao · 08/06/2008 20:36

really? gosh, i've done it myself loads of times. not in space nk, right enough, but other shops. they've never turned away my business.

AitchTwoCiao · 08/06/2008 20:37

anyway, come with me next time, i'll see you right.

2loudboys · 08/06/2008 20:42

Me too, Expat - I used to love Nars stuff (haven't been near a shop that stocks it in ooooh 2 years) and I'm trying to make my Gypsy lipstick last as long as poss. By the way, forgot to add last night that sometimes I mix my Boots Tinted Moisturizer half-and-half on the back of my hand with Revlon Bare It All in a shade called Buff Love (bit shimmery), and that doesn't bring me out in lumps either !!

expatinscotland · 08/06/2008 20:46

i'll be blushing inside, aitch!

thanks, 2loud, i've got some points to use up.

AitchTwoCiao · 08/06/2008 20:53

aaah, you must have been rich in a former life, expat, that's the problem. seriously, credit crunch and all that, Space NK is goiing to be grateful for anything it can get.

expatinscotland · 08/06/2008 20:55

i had what i like to call a tidy disposable income in a past life, aitch .

credit crunch, kids, bills to pay. a common enough story.

AitchTwoCiao · 08/06/2008 20:56

aye, well, we're all going through it. take advantage!

expatinscotland · 08/06/2008 20:57

hello, can i help you?

yes, my skin looks like hell as you can see and i'm auld and pregnant and skint. is there any hope?
