SpaceNK has a lot of its holiday products in store now, and the By Terry display was the one that caught my eye yesterday.
Ombre Blackstar eye shadow pen - this is like a cross between the MAC shadesticks and greasepaint sticks. They're lovely - soft, intense and with beautiful complex-but-subtle shimmer. I was *this* close to buying 01 Black Pearl, or (I think, I could have the number wrong) 04 Rock Pearl. However, they are £26 each, and I just wasn't sure that I could justify that price for an impulse purchase. I might go back for one of them, otherwise they're going on the Christmas list.
Or de Rose Baume Precieux - basically it's Baume de Rose with gold pink shimmer. In my opinion this is not worth the extra £15 on top of the Baume de Rose price (yes, this is £45) when you can get pinky gold lipglosses in the range for £25.
Or de Rose Elixir Extreme - another jaw dropping price here - £105 for a pink/rose highlight serum. On the plus side, this makes my Rouge Bunny Rouge illuminator look like a bargain at £45.
I also recently had a play with the new tinted moisturisers, Eclat de Rose - the coverage is lighter than the Light Expert pens, and I prefer the delivery system of Eclat de Rose (I don't trust those pens with brushes that you can't clean for foundation/concealers.) The Eclat de Rose does smell quite strongly of rose, and I doubt I could tolerate the smell. The colour choices are forgiving; I could wear either Light or Natural. These are £58 for 40ml.
Horribly rubbish pictures are from me taking a picture of my SpaceNK Christmas Catalogue - the holiday items don't appear to be online yet. The eagle-eyed might spot a picture of a Lipstick Queen Butterfly Ball lipstick in the picture; these aren't in store yet, and the sales assistant did not know when they would be getting them in. As they are in the Christmas catalogue, I can only assume it will be some time before Christmas.

Heading to NYC tomorrow! Will check it out!
ReplyDeleteHi Cocamia - NYC? I'm so envious! Have a great time. x
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued about that eyeshadow pen as well, but wondered how well it would wear.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting any of the Chantecaille items, I quite like the look of the powder and highlighter.
I think I am going to put the NARS nail polish mini set on my Christmas list as that looked quite nice
Looks very attractive, until I started looking at the prices £105?!! I bet they don't put loads of testers of that out at Space NK!! Emma :)
ReplyDeleteHi Replica - it seemed like it would wear pretty well on the back of my hand, but it was quite creamy textured. I'm not that interested in the Chantecaille holiday to be honest; was hoping for new Lip Chics. The NARS holiday stuff is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Emma - I think a lot of By Terry is way overpriced, and you can find comparable items (in really lovely packaging too) at much lower price points. I doubt they'll go mad on the testers either! ;)
I finally saw By Terry but the rose smell was just overwhelming to me. I guess that saves me money at least.
ReplyDeleteHey Marcia - it's not a line for you, the scent really lingers.
