Space.NK Apothecary

I just LOVE this shop, an absolute must visit for any lady (or Gentleman) looking for the best quality skin care products on the market. My fav brands at Space are:

Elemental herbology
Yu Be
Nars
Natura Bisse
Aromatherapy Associates
Mor
Bumble & Bumble

Some brands can be pricey, but believe me they are worth every penny!

Excellent range of high quality beauty products. Love their dyptique candles and range of nars makeup. Also great shampoo range at not a bad price.

Treasure trove of beauty in here of the luxe variety! Kind of posh and every brand is quite high quality.

The shop assistant's pretty much leave you to it as well which is fab because its like a playground for beauty junkies like me, Becca, Lipstick Queen (for those of you in the know that's actually Poppy King's old brand re-born) Thank god her lipsticks are lush! Heaps of testers and tissues - very important if lipstick is what youre after, beautiful store and right in the middle of George Street near your Jo Malone's and Molton Brown's perfect spot really.

Gold and shiny silver compacts line the wall and lipgloss and liners of every color you can imagine beckon you over, it takes at least an hour to get out of here, its fantastic. Really great brands a fab place to rebirth your make up bag - if you can afford it, but trust me, its worth it! Make up heaven!!

This store keeps my wife happy and helps with Christmas pressies. Undoubtedly a Wallet buster of a store, wish I was a skin Dr as the magic creams they make magic money out of my wallet into theirs. Nicky Kinnaird is where the NK comes from; she has serached extensively for stuff that you dont get in dept stores. This comes at a premium. The store is bigger than the Newcastle one. Staff friendly

OOooooooh, pretty things! What a place, I have been spending my hard earned pennies here since it opened as it is one of the few places to stock Stila and Nars. I love everything about it, from the sleek white interiors to the dinky white bags you get your products in. It is also quite a comfortable place - I have never felt sneered at or as if I do not belong because I do not have a Prada bag on my arm.
The assistants are very helpful and willing to let you try any products you are considering buying. You may also be lucky and get a few samples in your bag if you purchase something too.

Gentleman, if you want to impress a new girlfriend or flabbergast a long standing wife or partner, go to Space NK and purchase something (anything will do). Cosmetics and beauty treatments abound in this lovely store. The staff are friendly and will guide you through the maze of assorted products. Its not cheap but you know what they say - quality over quantity so even a small gift from here will go down very well.
