Get your skate(board)s on: CHANEL's Rouge Coco is popping up
Confession time: we have quite a collection of Rouge Coco lipsticks, quite often acquired in CHANEL’s Duty Free boutiques while twiddling our thumbs waiting to go on/come back from a holiday.
Rouge Coco is ultra-hydrating, offering buildable, medium coverage. Rouge Coco Baume (in Satin or Shine finishes) is a fave of ours: a cocooning, satiny balm texture (either with a tint, or just a ‘plain’ old balm – not that anything is ever ‘plain’ with CHANEL). Rouge Coco Shine is just that – a really shiny, sheer finish – while Rouge Coco Flash is a bit more ‘there’, pigment-wise. Importantly, they’re all super-easy to use – which is why we like them. Kinda goof-proof, all of them.
The reason we pick these up in Duty Free is that we’ve got time to play with them – there are SO many different options. But you can do that very easily at CHANEL’s ROUGE COCO PLAYGROUND, which celebrates this lipstick collection outside the boutique in Covent Garden’s Piazza, and will be running from 21st - 30th March.
We’re giving you notice because there are some great services to book, and they’re likely to fill up. For instance, The 60 min Makeup Service (price £60) – you can book a bespoke one-to-one beauty service with a CHANEL make-up artist to create a personalised make-up look inspired by Rouge Coco.
Or book in for a 75 min Masterclass (£45), which kicks off in the boutique, where you will learn tips to create an effortless make-up look before exploring the pop-up space.
There’s some extra fun, too – which would definitely appeal to a young make-up lover (or generally cool teen). You wouldn’t get us on a skateboard for love nor money, but each day, visitors wil be treated to live professional skateboarder performances, taking place daily at: 12 p.m. - 1.30 p.m., 2.30 - 4 p.m. and 5 – 6.30 p.m.
There will also be games – and (this appeals to us) – scoops of the gourmet Coco Cream Sorbet, to enjoy. Visiting the playground is completely free.
Bookings for the make-up services, meanwhile, can be made on the ROUGE COCO PLAYGROUND homepage and both services are redeemable against product at the pop-up, to include an ‘elevated’ goodie bag.
The ROUGE COCO PLAYGROUND is also offering an exclusive Customisable Set (see below) featuring two lipsticks of your choice from the Rouge Coco collections, adorned with a CHANEL lipstick charm that can attach to your bag. Oh, la, la!
Can’t get to Covent Garden? We quite often decompress at our desks by experimenting with CHANEL’s Virtual Try-On tool, here – which allows you to
