Chanel

This make-​up and beauty only boutique brings all the attitude and snobbery from Chanel’s Bond St. shop to the heart of Covent Garden.
If you are like me –a bit of a make-​up whore– then having a high end make-​up boutique like Chanel in high street Covent Garden makes perfect sense. I mean, who needs an excuse to buy a lipstick, never mind that the red shade I want to buy is just ever so slightly different then the 10 just like it that I have at home. So seeing Chanel in Covent Garden seemed like a great idea. Until I went in that is. The staff were too busy talking to one another to offer to help or try to make a sale. Customers walked through the tiny shop right in front of the sales staff and each in turn were ignored. Going downstairs to the closet sized make-​over counter proved a waste of time as well as there the sales people just walked away the minute someone came down the steps. Maybe I need to play hard to get and not look like I want to spend money as making a sale didn’t seem to be important. So I left –as did every other customer who walked through– without buying a single thing. I think this boutique, like the sales staff inside is just there to pose. Just keep walking as it is all not that pretty.
