Chanel’s Covent Garden Flower Stall
This time last year, Chanel popped up in Covent Garden’s pretty piazza with a beauty boutique so popular that it has become something of a mainstay, offering up product exclusives and early-launch beauty buys. And this week, just in time for Mother’s Day, the French fashion house will be brightening the cobbled streets with a new stall, packed full of fragrance-inspired flowers. Discover the olfactory history behind Chanel’s iconic perfumes whilst ooh-ing, ahh-ing and Instagramming the oversized glass bottles and May Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose and Patchouli posies that feature in their most famous fragrances.
And for those treating their mums, invest in any 100ml Chanel scent and you’ll be treated to an immaculately hand-tied posy and a beautifully calligraphy-handwritten message on a camelia-embossed card complete with Coco Chanel quote.
We guarantee those interlaced C’s will not disappoint come Sunday.
Friday 8th – Sunday 10th March at The Piazza, Covent Garden.
Atelier Liberty
Some mums are quite simply just not that easy to buy for. Yes flowers, cupcakes and lunch at that lovely new restaurant are always easy options, but surely there’s something she’d really love.
Enter Atelier Liberty. Surely there’s no where your mum would rather be than within the luxurious surrounds of the latest salon from globally acclaimed hair colourist, Josh Wood, whose clients include the expensive-blonde tresses of Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Laura Bailey. Or in the talented hands of the wait list-worthy team of stylists, who tame the locks of the likes of Alexa Chung. So rather the second guess, pop a couple of Atelier Liberty’s colourful new Atelier tokens into your Mother’s Day card. Oh and purchase any of the Atelier tokens before the 10th March and you’ll receive a complimentary bow dry and Jus D’Atelier so that you can enjoy the experience with your mum. Just don’t go ruining hers!

Urban Retreat’s Tea & Treats
Unless you have worked on a beauty desk you’d never believe that beauty and biscuits went hand in hand (or should that be hand to mouth/ hand to face) but believe us, and Urban Retreat when we say that they do. Find out for yourself this weekend at Harrods’ fifth floor beauty boutique where the Tea & Treats packages allow you to combine an indulgent treatment from your favourite luxury brand with an afternoon tea featuring Biscuit Village’s rather delightful beauty-inspired biscuits. Feast on a chocolate Creme de la Mer biscuit after indulging in one of their facials, or follow a mani pedi with an edible Essie varnish.
It’s not quite what we mean when we say inside-out beauty, but it is most definitely a treat!
