With a glam squad at her disposable, you'd assume she's more than well-stocked for a visit to the home land.
But Mel B couldn't resist squeezing in one last shopping trip in Beverly Hills, California, before boarding a flight back to the UK on Saturday.
The former Scary Spice was joined by two of her daughters - Phoenix, 16, and Madison, four - when she was pictured enjoying some last-minute retail therapy in her local neighbourhood.

Mel, 40, cut an understated figure, striking the perfect balance between style and comfort in her choice of ensemble.
The mother-of-three slipped into a pair of brown skinny jeans which she wore with a green and white star-printed jumper and a pair of military-style boots.
Her shoes were leather in fabric and lace-up style and reached to her calf.
Mel was make-up free, allowing her naturally-flawless complexion and pretty facial features to shine through.
