gift guide: nicky kinnaird’s finds for the luxe beauty addict

{Editor’s Note: This year, I’ve asked a few of the people whose style I spend all year admiring to share their holiday wish lists. Stay tuned – we’ll have a new expert every day for the next two weeks!}

Friends, this is not just another beauty gift guide. Nicky Kinnaird is the founder of Space NK Apothecary…also known as my beauty kryptonite. With more than 60 stores in the UK, and two dozen in the US, Nicky has made it her mission to return a little luxury and elegance to our beauty buying experience. Despite a travel schedule that officially qualifies her for jetsetter status, she’s absolutely fanatical about only sourcing the very best lines from around the world (think Eve Lom, Chantecaille, Philip B…you get the idea). Whenever I hear about a new product that editors are clamoring for, chances are good that Space NK is the only one carrying it. In other words, when Nicky says something’s on her wish list? It’s safe to assume it’ll make any girl very, very happy.

beauty buzz: lazy day routine

You know those times in life when things are so harried that you just don’t have a single ounce of energy left in your bones to deal with a beauty routine? I’m in one of those phases, friends. And yet, there’s no denying my looks need some energy spent on them. I’m past the point in my life when I can just rush out of the door, fresh-faced and damp hair, and trust that all will be well. (Boy, you don’t realize how much you’ll miss those days until they’re gone. College self, you really should have appreciated that more.)

On the days that a full-blown foundation/cheeks/liner/lips/blowdry/flat iron routine seems, well, roughly on par with scaling Kilimanjaro, I’ve found myself relying on a few grab-and-go goodies that are making my life infinitely easier.
