Mecca Welly update August 7, 2008
Oh my gosh oh my gosh, I’ve just been into the new Mecca Cosmetica area of Kirk’s. I’m thoroughly excited. Here’s why:
- They have a really good range of cosmetics and hair and beauty products.
- The assistant was super knowledgeable about all the brands (and competitor brands) their products and could answer all my questions. And encouraged me to play with the products.
- They have flipcharts at each brand counter with a price list, so you can look at prices before you fall in love with the product.
- They have free make-overs (you can book or pop in).
- They have the Bumble and bumble hair range with the cool dry shampoo product.
- NARS eyeshadows were awesome - the assistant recommended them because I asked for highly pigmented eye colour, and boy were they highly pigmented!!
The negatives:
- They wouldn’t let me take photos for PPP.
- Stila (one of my favourite brands) is expensive there, but I remember it being a cheap brand in the UK and it’s also cheap on strawberrynet.com.
- Not forthcoming with the free samples (I’ll have to push a bit harder next time).
Oh cool, I’ll have to check it out next week. Was the B&B dry shampoo reasonably priced? I looked at buying it online once, and it was going be something like NZ$50, so I passed!
Actually, I took home a price list from Mecca and the B&B products are all around $50. Yikes!
I got some stuff there on Saturday. The assistant was great and was willing to apply anything I wanted to try. Got a Stila eye shadow duo, easy to apply and blend, and a Nars blush highlighter which is just the right amount of shimmer without being glittery, and looks natural. Hope they get in the Philosophy bath stuff!!
