| Chanel store @ Covent Garden |
One of the pleasures of being a girl is that I know a thing of beauty and I am not ashamed to squeal a bit when I see it. Case in point, the nail bar at the Chanel store in Covent Garden. Originally planned as a pop up store last summer, this pop up has now become a permanent fixture. During Christmas they had put up the most fabulous window decoration of huge Chanel no. 5 bottles with snow flakes. It was heavenly. during the holiday season there was a calligrapher who would write down personalised messages on cards inscribed with some of Coco Chanel's famous quotes. I have mine tucked away in my bedside drawer, an heirloom for my unborn mini me.
So anyways, back to why this store was so brilliant for me is that it provides a whole new buying experience. You can book in different beauty sessions which are redeemable against purchase. I booked in for a nail session at £30 which included nail shaping, colour and my purchase.

I was also lucky to get Amanda, the most friendly makeup artist I have met in any beauty store. I happily played around with the illusion d'ombre eyeshadows and finally plonked in for a blush which was £31. Me and Amanda hit it off so well that in the end I walked away with a new mani, a new blush, travel size levres scintillantes in Amour, travel size mascara and most importantly the black Chanel camellia which is sitting pretty on my bedside table now. I will never get a personal invite to visit Coco Chanel's private apartment in Rue Cambon, so for me, this is as close as it gets to a complete experience of a brand which is the ultimate in chic. I highly recommends it.
