Review – Nars Sheer Glow Foundation & Space NK
I finally found a great excuse to visit my local Space NK again. I don't know why but I'd always thought that the shop looked a bit intimidating.

Has to be Estee Lauder ever since I was introduced to it in my late teens. It's been out of my price range more often than not since then but it never fails to deliver.
