The Space NK Edit collection is really expanding and I love these super cute mini sets for skincare and makeup. Here’s the lowdown on the new Space NK Starter Kits. I have all the details here.

What are in the Space NK Starter Kits?

Space NK have launched two affordable starter kits; one for skincare and one for makeup.

Space NK Skincare Starter Kit

Out of the two Space NK starter kits, I think this is the one to go for because it contains so many of my favourite products in absolutely brilliant sizes. Plus it has the latest launch from Ultra Violette, the new Future Fluid zinc-based SPF 50 in the cutest bottle ever!! Read my Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF 50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen Review for more info on that. I love it.

I also really like the Sunday Riley Autocorrect Eyecream and the 3ml is a big enough size for you to test out an eye product to see if you want to invest in the full size.

I am also a big fan of Kate Somerville’s Goat Milk Cleanser and it pairs nicely with the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Plus you get the cutest pot of the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream which is the quickest fix for glowy skin and absolutely gorgeous under makeup (but make sure you don’t use too much if you want your base to last).

All in all, I think this is a brilliant edit. By my calculations it is worth £64.15 so you are getting a really good value saving.

Space NK Makeup Starter Kit

This one is actually better value for money than the skincare one, as it costs £25 yet has a higher value of £75 and contains all full sizes. I still prefer the skincare one though as I think it is more versatile, and this makeup edit very much depends on whether you like the shades.

The Kosas lip liner is really cool as it’s super long lasting and also has a sharperner and brush on one end, and the brush is actually really good! It is really handy to soften any harsh lines before the product sets down. It’s a full size.

The Glossier Cloud Paint is also a full size and they are really nice blushes although I am not sure that Beam is everyone’s cup of tea. It is a lovely soft peach shade but it’s not always an obvious choice for a blush that suits all skintones.

There’s a mini beautyblender too which I know some will love, but personally I will always be a brush girl and not a sponge girl.

I am excited to try the clear brow gel from Rare, which is also a full size, and I think that one will be a real crowd pleaser.
