Buy Christmas Gifts and Meet Nicky Kinnaird at Space NK

Space NK is really expensive, isn't it? Nope, I've discovered. While there's no doubt the store carries luxury lines that aren't cheap, there are loads of bits and bobs on the shelves that'll keep any beauty junkie happy come Christmas morning. My pick of the glorious goodies on offer at the new branch in Harvey Nicks, Dundrum, are all under €30. (1) is Space NK Champaca Minatures, €27, containing Bath Oil, Shower Gel and Body Lotion.  (2) is a 15ml bottle of Laughter, €27, the store's iconic fragrance. It's a citrussy spritz with top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and lime, along with juniper berry, verbena and the sweet, spicy bite of ginger. (3) €20 bags you this Christmas Votive, a blend of Douglas fir, cinnamon, nutmeg and cranberry, all enveloped in a warm amber base. Yum! (4) last up is assorted effervescent bath tablets, also €20.

If you fancy heading in-store tomorrow to pick up a few goodies then you might also be interested in this: Space NK founder Nicky Kinnaird will be in Harvey Nicks for an exclusive event, taking place from 6.30pm-7.30pm. You'll have the opportunity to hear her speak as you sip champers and enjoy canapes, and of course, you'll be able to ask all those burning beauty questions, too.  There are a small number of tickets for the event left, costing €30, and they can be booked through Harvey Nichols, 01 291 0488.
