Sneaky Peek: Sonia Kashuk Comes to Space NK

Yaysers, this is one I am V excited about: US makeup artist Sonia Kashuk's huuuuge  line of beauty bits will land at Space NK shortly. So why am I so thrilled? Kashuk was Aveda's creative director from 1989-97 and she's a bit of a force in the industry, collaborating with supermodel Cindy Crawford on her Basic Face book and launching her affordable line of quality beauty products into Target stores in the US in 1998.

You could think of her as a bit like Barbara Daly for Tesco - great products at affordable prices - but the stuff is fancier and higher quality than that: Nicky Kinnaird herself says that "Sonia’s brushes are second to none."

Space NK in the UK will carry the range from October and prices will begin at £10. We won't be able to get Sonia Kashuk here at the moment, but as Space NK do mail order to Ireland, that shouldn't pose a problem for anyone wanting to get their fix.

Check after the cut for a (huge) product and sterling price run-down.
