Has anyone tried this new scent. I want to see if I wanna buy this or Rhode instead.

Genuine question because I’ve been thinking about this for a while…

Why does Mecca basically never do proper skincare/makeup sets or real promotions like Myer or David Jones do?

Like at Myer/DJs you’ll see:
-Value sets everywhere
-Gift-with-purchase deals all the time
- Seasonal promos that actually feel like you’re getting something

Also I feel like I’m SUCH a sucker for merch when it comes to beauty brands. Like I love the little extras and lifestyle bits that come with products. I wish Mecca would lean into that more. I know brands like Rhode already do cute kits and sets with things like their Bubble Bag, so I feel like that kind of thing would do really well in-store too. Same with stuff like the cute pouches from Tower 28 — I would 100% buy purely for the pouch alone 😭

I get they’re meant to be more “premium curated beauty” or whatever, but it still feels like such a different shopping experience compared to department stores. Even brands that are sold everywhere else seem way more rigid at Mecca.

Is it just their business model? Brand contracts? Or are they just confident people will pay full price anyway?

Would love to know if anyone actually understands how they run things behind the scenes because from the outside it’s giving… no deals ever 😂

Just received my Mecca order and noticed a Nars The Multiple sample. I think it’s very smart marketing to include such a variety of colours to sample. Anyone used these before as I want to hear what you think of them.
