I had a fun hour and a half the other day when I booked an appointment at the Mecca Counter in Kirkcaldie and Stains in Wellington.  Mecca is amazing and I have waited a long time for them to come to New Zealand, so it was with great excitement I trotted off to meet the team.

For those of you who don’t know why I am so excited about this, Mecca is exactly as its name says, a Mecca of all great beauty products from around the world.  Mecca was launched 11 years ago in Melbourne and has grown to become one of Australasia’s leading international beauty houses.  They have close to 30 exclusive brands under the Mecca label and you know if they think the product is a good one, it will be.

I had the pleasure of going and having a make-up session with one of their leading make-up artists who was over from Australia for two days.  All I can say is wow, I looked like I had been made up for a cover shoot.  They went through step by step what they were doing, which was really interesting and I have since changed a few things to my make-up routine.  I asked lots of questions as you would guess I might so I learnt alot and the team there were really helpful.

So if you feel your make-up is looking tired give them a call at the Mecca or pop in and see them, they can book you anytime for a make-up lesson.  There is a charge of around $50.00, but it is a private consultation and you do leave looking amazing, with the view to wanting to look this everyday.  It has made me make more of an effort and for that alone it was worth it.  It was great fun and I would most certainly do it again.

But a word from the Queen of Shopping herself, don’t expect to walk out of their with any cash left in your wallet.  You are most certainly investing in some truly great products but this kind of exclusiveness doesn’t come cheap.

Some of their exclusive brands are:  Nars, Frederic Fekkai, Stila, Prescriptives, md skincare, N.V. Perricone.M.D to name a few.

Also you can buy one for their magazines from the counter for only $5.00 which has lots of detailed information in it or go to their website which is www.meccacosmetica.com
