The one where I give in!

Hello my lovelies! 
I would like to apologise if it may seem as though I have dropped off the face of the planet! I have recently started a new job and juggling my time between work and uni has been tough as I haven't had a day off in a month! And I know I've been promising a new post so much and have finally got the time and energy to write one! 
So, yesterday (on my first day off in said month), also my first pay day in 2 months, I was able to nip into central London and go for a wonder! I had appointments to get my disaster hair and eyebrows fixed too but all this was based around Covent Garden so had the opportunity to have a wonder around in-between sessions. I had my eyebrows done in Benefit and was proud of myself for walking out without a bag of goodies! I went into MAC and walked out without anything (this was aided by the serious lack of decent customer service too). I only got a birthday present for my mumma in Clinique and was so proud! I had also found a Space NK and had had my eye on the new NARSissist palette for a while so decided to have a look. 
There is no doubt its a lovely palette, and it was the highlighter that was making me want it but I hadn't realised how glittery Laguna bronzer is and didn't want to buy it and hate it, not too mention the selection of blush colours wasn't my cup of tea either. So I walked out empty handed and headed to Knightsbridge in search of a Michael Kors Jewellers to get my watch battery replaced. 
Then, as if by fate, I took the wrong exit out of the tube station and ended up next to Harvey Nicholls and decided it would be rude not to have a look. And of course the first place I see is Space NK and so had another ponder over the palette. First of all, the lady who served me could not have been more lovely! After expressing my concerns over the product she was kind enough to show me how she would use the different shades on my skin and then see if I liked it! 
Well did I like it! 
I walked out a little bit chuffed with myself and am still smiling like a goon! First up, the glitter in the bronzer pretty much disappears on the skin and it makes a great contour shade for me! Also, the blushes, while pretty on their own create a beautiful colour mixed together and creates a lovely go between shade for the highlight and bronzer! All together I am so happy with this purchase, the products are of course amazing in formulation and blend ability and the lipgloss is the perfect pinky nude! Not to mention, £35 for all of it is great value for money! I would definitely recommend this palette to everyone as it has something for each and every one of you!  It is exclusive to Space NK so I'd grab it while you can!
