Space NK recommendations

[flippityflip]

I have received a lovely voucher for space nk as a gift of £150. I have never bought anything there as it is all a bit more high end than what I would tend to use. I wear makeup for work but relatively minimal-have had to give up on foundation as no matter what brand I use it either splits, eventually dries my skin out or the reverse clogs my skin and causes break outs. So I use a cream contour palette and a little cream concealer which is now my alternative to full face foundation. I use nivea soft as my main moisturiser and a stick balm sunscreen as every other sunscreen option ends up balling up or splitting. I have a dermatica subscription aimed at anti ageing and hyper pigmentation so don’t need a good retinol or actives but am open to any other suggestions.
I do like a good eyeliner, mascara, long lasting lip tint etc.
I also like any pampering products for the shower or bath.
Would the great and the good of mumsnet have any recommendations for me for good buys in space nk to make best use of my voucher?

I really wanted to love Colour Wow, but the money mist, dream coat, and kale cocktail all leave my hair feeling horrible and sticky, like it’s not been washed properly 😞

Also worth bearing in mind that they quite regularly offer free gifts (in addition to the 2 free samples you can pick with each order) providing you spend £xx amount on e.g. skincare, make-up etc. These gifts usually comprise at least a dozen or so decent sized products, occasionally full size or travel size. So you might want to check the site regularly before buying anything.

I'm a big Erborian fan - particularly the Centella barrier cream which is soothing and nourishing, their water serum which is moisturising without feeling at all greasy or sticky, and the Skin Hero cream which just all round improves the look of your skin but doesn't look as though you're wearing any make-up.

Innisfree is another not-too-dreadfully-expensive skincare brand I like. They do a green tea range which is good.

For showering, Aesop is fantastic but a bit pricey. Saltair is also lovely and feels very luxurious on the skin; you don't need much to create a lot of lather. Golden Hour smells great.

Another vote here for the advent calendar, you'll get loads for your money and a really well curated selection of products.

But I also think you should go into store, either to find some things you love or to see the advent products in real life when details are released.

K18 hair products, especially the leave in molecular repair mask - you just use a tiny amount after washing before drying, looks expensive for a tiny tub but issues a measured dose and has transformed my fine fragile bleached hair
their own brand shower gels and diffusers are lovely
ultra violette spf 50 is brilliant, very lightweight, no white cast and genuinely the only one that doesn’t hurt my eyes
they do stock some unusual fragrances too - go into store and have a squirt! I have DS &Durga ‘I don’t know what’ and ‘Crush Balls’

the advent calendar is a good call too, which is how I discovered some of the above! But also a few duds if the makeup colours or products don’t suit you (popular on the swap board here though)
