Candy-Themed Pop-Up Salons

Mars Wrigley Confectionery Launches a Pampering Pop-Up for V-Day

— February 11, 2019 — Lifestyle
On February 13th and 14th, the Mars Wrigley Confectionery — a parent company to ORBIT, Dove, M&M'S, SNICKERS, TWIX and more, is hosting a pop-up salon that will provide New Yorkers with "an oasis where [they] can freshen up before a romantic date."

The Valentine's Day activation bears the name of Sweet ReTREAT: Refresh Lounge and it will pamper individuals in a playful candy-themed space. The pop-up salon includes services like the 'Candy Counter Touch-Up Makeup Bar' which is inspired by TWIX bars, Extra gum, SNICKERS bar and more, as well as the Skittles-informed 'Mini-Manicure,' Altoids mints and HUBBA BUBBA-themed 'Blowout, Braid and Touch-Up Bar,' as well as a designated lounge where individuals can wait for their appointments in refreshing minty aromas, as well as some massages.
