The new 5 à 7 courtesy of Chanel

April 1, 2010

Forget after-work drinks at a pub. Chanel’s new take on the 5 à 7 is where you want to be.

The concept was just launched last week, and it’s held every Thursday and Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Chanel Makeup Table in the Holt Renfrew Bloor Street flagship in Toronto.

Here’s the deal: You get prettied up and taught makeup techniques by Chanel makeup artists (headed up by Kris Wares — who in two minutes transformed yours truly from so-so to sexy all with a little Long Lasting Eyeliner and Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eye Shadow in Mahogany) and at 7 p.m. you’ll be all set for your  night out.

Or you can always go with a girlfriend or two and make the 5 à 7 itself your after-work outing — there’s mocktinis and treats served btw — although you’ll all be looking way too smokin’ hot to not go out afterwards.

Chanel’s 5 à 7 costs $75, but you get to redeem it towards Chanel beauty products that night. To help you narrow down your beauty choices, there’s a menu of makeover looks and lessons to choose from, everything from becoming a bronzed goddess to learning how to do a smoky eye.

There’s only a total of six seats available at each 5 à 7, so you’ll want to call 416-922-2333 to book your spot.
