Profile

Named after its owner, Nicky Kinnaird, the British Space NK beauty brand hopped the pond to Soho in 2007, and the store is now the American flagship. With mirrored walls and lilies in vases, the soothing ambience and its impeccably organized displays showcase not only Space NK’s own bath and body products—made with fruit and Asian plant extracts—but other high-end, hard-to-find labels as well. Candles and fragrances from Parisian cult luxury brand Diptyque are on hand, along with Leaf and Rusher vitamin-packed serums and Poppy King’s lipstick line, Lipstick Queen. Shoppers can also find high-quality makeup brushes, perfectly slanted tweezers, and makeup from names like Laura Mercier and Nars. But the true highlight is the flagship’s small in-house spa, which offers 60- to 90-minute deep-cleansing, holistic facials using Eve Lom products. — Eileen Conlan
