COVENT GARDEN’S BEAUTY BOUTIQUES
Usually when you’re on the hunt for the high end beauty brands you have to head to the big department stores and weave through the many counters to find what you want. But something’s going on in Covent Garden and it’s seemed to sneak up on all of us. It started with the Chanel store launching last year and one by one the brands have followed…
On a recent visit to the Covent Garden piazza I spotted Chanel, Burberry, Dior, Clinique and Bobbi Brown. And I’m not talking counters, I’m talking full on (sometimes two floor) boutiques. Each one more beautiful than the last and with top quality staff who know their stuff. The Covent Garden piazza is quickly turning into a beauty haven.
The Chanel, Dior and Burberry stores all sit next door to each other and I’d highly recommend exploring upstairs in the Burberry boutique! The two newest stores are Bobbi Brown and Clinique, sitting right next to each other on the east side of the piazza. The Clinique Great Skin Lab is the first ever Clinique concept store and it’s really impressive. Clean, sharp and when you walk in it’s like you’re walking into your own personalised skincare lab. The Bobbi Brown store is not the first in London but it is their new flagship store right in the centre of London. They have their top makeup artists actually based in store and available for makeup consultations. It’s a beautiful atmosphere inside and really easy to navigate around.
So next time you find yourself in London, save up your pennies and head to Covent Garden for some serious beauty shopping. For me, it’s all about the experience and these stores will make you feel really special!
