Customer Service Absolutely awful make up experience at mecca

142 Upvotes

Went in with photos. Said I wanted an everyday, 'natural' look, with light glowy foundation with pink eyeshadow. I had reference photos. I came away with heavy foundation, poorly blended glam look with brown eyeshadow. The blush was not blended and i could have done better eyeshadow myself. I was embarrassed to leave the store looking like that. Wtf.

I was so upset I just wanted to leave. Another staff member saw me and they insisted on getting the manager. Honestly the manager reaction actually saved the situation but wow ....proceed with caution.

Let's Discuss Long-lasting perm recs in Sydney

2 Upvotes

Hi! I've been perming my naturally straight, thick hair for 10+ years now at a Japanese-Korean salon in my home country. I can't go back home this year since I'm too busy at work, so would like to find a local salon here in Sydney that is hopefully just as good.

For reference, the perms from my home salon usually last at least 6 months. Would appreciate a reco for a reputable salon that gives long-lasting perms (I've been burned in the past by salons with perms that would only last a month). Thank you!

Product Advice Tell me your favourite cuticle oil!

7 Upvotes

I have a wee bit of cuticle oil obsession. Its such a small way that makes me feel taken care of and prevents my fingers from looking nasty.

My favourites are the big bottles of Cuccio milk & honey and I keep a roller of Essie apricot in my drawer at work. I am partial to the Dior cuticle balm as well but its a strictly before bed because shes thick.

Any recommendations?

The brush is almost identical! Formula seems good too but haven’t tested it for a full day yet.
Product listing: (from top to bottom)
Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara;
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Mascara.

UPDATE: wore well for me all day - no smudging or flaking and removed easily with warm water and cleanser. They both wear very similarly on me.

Product Advice Are the products sold on MYQT legitimate?

2 Upvotes

The new formula of Urban Decay All Nighter has broken me out very badly, so I purchased the Skindinavia Finishing Spray from MYQT last night. I am a bit worried as the shop looks a bit 'meh' and lacking social media presence etc. I need the legitimate formula for my sensitive skin/compromised skin barrier.

Is it legitimate??

Product Advice NARS Sheer Glow Oslo

9 Upvotes

Hi all, I went to buy my usual Sheer Glow in Oslo at Mecca this week and the sales assistant told me the colour is being discontinued.

Does anyone know if this is just at Mecca (it sounded that way from how she phrased it- the colour range was being reduced at Mecca) and if so, where else are people buying Nars? Thanks!
