Space NK/ Selfridges haul

Its not often I go down to London, so when I decided to go yesterday, I knew it was time to have a spend!! There are so many makeup brands we simply cant get in the deep dark depths of Norfolk and although you can buy them on line, picking shades is a bit of a risk.
As well as makeup I also brought quite a few clothes.....its fair to say I over spent...oops!!!!
My first stop was Selfridges, where I was on a mission to find the 'Giorgio Armani Luminous silk foundation'. The guy on the counter was quite simple lovely and was so helpful. He matched me up to the correct shade (number 5) and wasn't one of these pushy sales people who tries to sell you the whole stand in 5 mins. When he tried this foundation on me my first reaction was WOW, which I never ever say when I first try a foundation....I can't wait to wear this properly.
Next up I went down to the holy grail that is Space NK. Despite knowing what I was going in for I spent ages in there perusing all the brands and even got given a glass of champagne! The lovely ladies in there matched me up to the 'Kevin Aucoin Sensual skin enhancer' (SX2) and the 'NARS Pure radiant tinted moisturiser'(Finland Light). As I am writing this I am wearing the NARS tinted moisturiser and am so surprised by its lasting power and coverage. Whilst I was in there my eyes spotted the Hourglass ambient lighting blushers. These are so stunning and eye catching when you see them. I picked up the shade 'Mood Exposure' which is a gorgeous rose gold, plumy, blush. I also grabbed a small version of the Oribe dry texturising spray. This stuff is soooooo expensive so I hope its worth it!!!!
I cannot wait to try all these products and share my thoughts on them. A lot of these are blogger favourites so i'm intrigued to see what all the hype is about and if they live up to my expectations. 

I hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous Sunday afternoon!!

I would love to know your thoughts on these products.
