    Apologies for the delay, work has been hectic this week!

    The Pros:

    We had an amazing time at Meccland was such a sensory overload event. We were absolutely spoiled by so many brands. Our stand outs were Tatcha (those masks and the booth were divine) and Ren (gosh so generous, we have 7 deluxe sample each to try!). Frank Body was also super generous got 3 new scrubs to try out.

    Had an absolute ball running around taking photos and checking out all the stands and chatting with beauties and all the photo ops.

    The beauty loop box and bag included with our ticket was amazing
    -nars palette was definitely my stand out in the mix (full size)
    -YSL mini lippie (gorgeous pink colour) (deluxe)
    -mecca wipes (full size)
    -lanolips strawberry (full size)
    -mecca max gloss (full size)
    -hourglass mascara (deluxe)
    -laura mercier setting powder (deluxe)

    Cons:

    Unless you want to meet beauty influencers the 5pm-630pm you were literally, locked in this little room with not much to do / see.

    They gave you food and kombucha and then a few influencers came in. But, as we didn’t come for the influencers we just wanted to be let loose!! We even had to be escorted to the washroom (how silly) haha

      For real? That is quite amusing. Any idea why?

      • 4 yrs, 11 mths ago

        The Superstar / Pro passes included this “”meet and greet”” thing that was 5pm-630, but they didn`t say you couldn`t go into the rest of the venue during this time…It was so strange!

        So, next time we would just rock up at 600 instead of 5 and grab some kombucha/food then go in.

      • 4 yrs, 11 mths ago

        Always something to learn, right…even if it`s not from an influencer ;D
        I hope the next one is in Sydney again.
        The after party events don`t seem to be that great.

      • 4 yrs, 11 mths ago

        Yeah, I appreciate they are trying to do something for everyone else, but it`s definitely not the same 🙁

        Yeah we ended up meeting an influencer (we didn`t know who she was whoops). It was a super awkward conversation though haha.

      • 4 yrs, 11 mths ago

        I can only imagine. Did you figure out later who she was?

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        Yep we did! The brochure thing they gave us helped haha.

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        Thanks for sharing darasparkle! =)

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        No problem!!

        If you are on instagram, you can check out my photos from the event (lots of photo ops), my username is super similar just has an added “”s”” at the end, aka darasparkles.

  • 4 yrs, 11 mths ago

    I just won a double pass! I’m so excited to go!

  • 5 yrs ago

    I’m not going as I have a trip to save for at the end of the year (where I’ll more than likely pick up the products that Meccaland have anyway), but I’m keen to see what our beauties think of it.

  • 5 yrs ago

    Hmm… I have never been to any of these beauty events. Never even heard about them. Will continue to follow this post. Anyone who attend, please share your experience 🙂

    • 5 yrs ago

      Last year they had the event in Melbourne but it`s too far to go but then this year I think i`ll pass as well. Hopefully the one attend this time will share their photo here with us =)

  • 5 yrs ago

    I’m going but I have the middle bag one!! I shall let you ladies know how it is. They said you get up to 100+ worth of products, so we shall see if I find it worth it.

    I really wanted the pro pass, but they released the tix to Level 3 beauties first and they all sold out during their pre-sale.

    I decided to splurge on this as I have put myself on a beauty/clothes etc spending ban as saving for house buttttt thought this would be a nice treat/day out with my buddy.

    • 5 yrs ago

      That`s great to hear hope you`ll enjoy the time there and update us after =)

      • 5 yrs ago

        I`ll definitely update!! I am hoping not everything is sold out by the time our session happens haha as we ended up with the last session of the event.

      • 5 yrs ago

        ohh wow but I heard sometimes the last session normally didn`t have much left; but still, you get to have fun there so all good =P

      • 5 yrs ago

        Yeah originally I had the Saturday evening tickets in my cart, then when I was adding names to the ticket it crashed and sold out 🙁

        So, we shall she what happens.

  • I would of considered it if I lived in Sydney if the pro pass was left as apparently you get a goodie bag.

  • 5 yrs ago

    No not going have way too much stuff and trying to save atm. Would love to hear about it though if you do go 🙂

  • 5 yrs ago

    No, I feel that it is very expensive, I better save my money for thing which I really need. But I think this is good opportunity for boggers or social media personalities.

    • 5 yrs ago

      I think paying 70++ is quite expensive for entrance fee. True, blogger & influencers can might get something for their article.

  • 5 yrs ago

    No, I thought about it, but only read really negative things and decided to save my money. Would be Keen to hear what people on this site think after the event.

    • 5 yrs ago

      I am thinking the same about the bad reviews…

      • 5 yrs ago

        I have honestly read it`s for people who like taking lots of Instagram photos of themselves. Apparently the products there are released to the public basically a week later anyway, samples are minimal and it`s pretty underwhelming. That seemed to be the consensus from the Reddit forums I follow and other reviews I have read. U can get a lot of make up for $70. So will spend my $70 on that lol

      • 5 yrs ago

        I know right! With that amount of money it`s better to get a full size products other than samples. Unless they have special edition products only for the event itself, maybe – will re-consider =)
