As I approach the two year anniversary of this series, I wanted to do something different to celebrate. I’ve dabbled with a few themed stashes. But something I’ve always wanted to do is a one brand stash. Where I pick a brand and use as many products as I can from that brand in my stash. So, that’s what I’m doing. And the lucky brand is *drum roll* Mecca Max! They have many products that I love. And even more that I’m yet to try. So, let’s get into the stash!
Let’s kick this off with the base products. While there is still a winter chill in the air, I opted for the MECCA MAX DEW OVER HYDRATING PRIMER to hydrate my base. For the coverage products, I picked the MECCA MAX OFF DUTY SERUM SKIN TINT and the MECCA MAX OFF DUTY BB CREAM. While Mecca Max does have a proper foundation in their line, both of these appealed to me more. For concealer, I went the whole hog and went with a concealer and a corrector. I have the MECCA MAX LIFE PROOF CAMO COLOUR CORRECTOR and the MECCA MAX LIFE PROOF CREAM CONCEALER. Both of these are popular amongst Aussie beauty fans. And I’m pretty hyped to try them.
To set the base, I have the MECCA MAX LIFE PROOF TINTED PRESSED SETTING POWDER making a comeback to the stash. I quite enjoyed this when I used it previously. But I also have the MECCA MAX LIFE PROOF TRANSLUCENT LOOSE SETTING POWDER for under my eyes. I swatched this when I got it and it feels so silky smooth. Finally, I have the MECCA MAX LIFE PROOF SETTING SPRAY to lock all this goodness in.
I only have one brow product for this stash. The MECCA MAX BROW GURU TINTED BROW GEL. I do also want to get my hands on the newly launched Power Brow Gel. But it’s been out of stock for a while.
Now, the mascara’s. And this was the one category where I did have to pivot slightly. At the time of writing this, Mecca Max has only launched three mascaras. And naturally, I’ve already reviewed them (you can find those reviews here, here, and here). So, instead, I’ve pulled out the GLOSSIER LASH SLICK MASCARA, the ESSENCE LASH PRINCESS WATERPROOF MASCARA, and the LANCOME MONSIEUR BIG MASCARA. Expect the Glossier review soon!
For a little bit of fun, I had to add some of my favourite shades of the MECCA MAX SINGLE SHADOW’S to my stash. From top to bottom, I have Space Jam, Like Whatever, No Duh, and 90’s Kid. I know I don’t normally do recommendations in my stash, but if you haven’t tried these, you need to.
For the cheeks, I had to go with the incredible Off Duty Sticks! I have the MECCA MAX OFF DUTY BLUSH STICK in Pinch and Tutu, the MECCA MAX OFF DUTY CONTOUR STICK in Medium, and the MECCA MAX OFF DUTY GLOW STICK. I have raved about these over the years and I’m excited to give them some more loving.
Finally, I had to add some powders to the stash. I have the MECCA MAX SUNLIT SKIN POWDER BRONZER in light. This is the revamped formula of one of my all time favourite bronzers. So, I will be judging this one critically. And I have two of the MECCA MAX CHEEK CRUSH POWDER BLUSH in the shades Pinky Promise and Guava Blossom.
And that is my stash! I am truly so excited to review all of these goodies. As always, if there is anything in particular that you want me to highlight in a future Bite Size Reviews, let me know. I hope you all have an amazing weekend.
Cheers and love
Emily xo
