Mecca Beauty Loop Level 2 Box!




Last Friday I proudly picked up my Level 2 Beauty Loop box from Mecca Cosmetica in the city. I say proudly, because this was the first time I realised there was no need to actually print out the email and present it in-store, and that in fact, showing my Beauty Loop card would suffice. LOL. Yeah, the fact that I print out emails onto actual paper instead of showing them on my phone is a whole other matter that I won't go into (*cough* I never do email on my phone *cough*).

If you're wondering how this Level 2 box compares to the last one, you can read my post where I show you the contents of that box here. And if you have NFI what I'm talking about in the first place, you can read about Mecca's Beauty Loop program here.

Let's take a look at what was inside my Level 2 box!

NARS Liquid Laguna Bronzer (4ml)
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturising Cream (7.5ml)
Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm sachet (2ml)
By Terry Liftessence Serum, Eye Contour & Daily Cream sachets (2ml, 2g, 2g)




If you're eligible for a Level 2 box, Mecca classify you as a 'Beauty Devotee' by the way!

'As a Beauty Devotee, you are immersed in the world's best in beauty. And just like us, you love to hear about the latest beauty trends, breakthroughs and products'.

The most exciting product for me is the NARS Laguna Liquid Bronzer, because it's a cult shade that I've never tried (all of these products are new to me actually!). However I think it's the powder bronzer in Laguna that has reached cult status, but I'm still keen to give this liquid version a go!

I've tried some other Kate Somerville skincare samples from previous Beauty Loop boxes, namely ExfoliKate and EradiKate which I quite liked, so I'm happy to see how the Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturiser goes. At least it's not called MoisturKate!

Omorovicza is a brand I've never even heard of and can barely type so I have absolutely no expectations with this Omorovicza Cleansing Balm from Budapest! Other than it being thermal, so I assume it heats up when you rub it in. Much like the grumpy AF Steve Price on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. I implore you all to watch this horrendous/brilliant showcase of z-grade 'talent', it's trainwreck telly at its very best/worst.

The By Terry trio of skincare sample sachets will come in handy, although I've just realised I haven't used my By Terry sample from the last Beauty Loop Box, the ridiculously-named Terrybly Densiliss Primer. Seriously, why do brands feel obliged to shove their name into the product titles?! Knock that shit off!

Mecca Beauty Loop Level 1 Box!




Hi guys! I'm pretty excited, because today I'm blogging about the Mecca Beauty Loop Level 1 Box! This is my first ever box as part of Mecca's Beauty Loop program, because I only just reached the qualifying spend ($300 in a one year period) last month! I am officially a 'Beauty Discoverer'. LOL! I went in-store and picked this up yesterday, although you can order online and add it to your order, if you're eligible to receive one.

Now that I've reached Level 1 status, I'm eligible for four complimentary Beauty Loop sample boxes per year (this being the first) and complimentary makeup application for my Birthday. Let's take a look inside the box.....




Contents:
~ Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil mini bottle
~ Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser sachet
~ Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Primer sachet
~ Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer sachet

Also included is a card explaining each product, why Mecca love it and how to use it. Handy!

I have no complaints about this box! I love my Hourglass lipstick and Ambient Lighting Powder so I'm keen to try the much-hyped Veil Mineral Primer. The Too Faced Shadow Insurance will be the perfect prep before I use my new Chocolate Bar palette (so far I've been applying it without primer). I've tried a few other Kate Somerville samples in the past and loved them, so I'm also keen to give the cleanser a go, and I haven't tried anything from Josie Maran before, so will be excited to trial a new-to-me brand!
