So, I shall start with Mecca purchase #1, which was back in the beginning of May. I was going through a super stressful time and struggling to cope with my workload. I was trying to save as much as possible whilst coming up to heavy exams as well as just moving out of home - I found myself losing all motivation. Usually I would just take part in a bit of retail therapy however as I was trying to save I didn't want to go overboard, I needed something special to pick me up.
I found myself on the Mecca website admiring all the beautiful products, two in particular I had been admiring for such a long time and I had heard so many good things about both, the Too Faced Melted Lipstick and Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, that night ( it was a Tuesday) I decided to make an order - a Chocolate Bar Palette and one Melted Lipstick in the colour 'Melon'. I was so excited to finally be getting these products, I have always love the Too Faced brand however these two products were my first purchases.
The two products arrived Thursday, they had a tracked postage on them. It was a school day and that afternoon I had to work until 8pm, therefore having to wait even longer to see my new babies. When I finally did finish, I ran to the car and got home as quick as I could, they were waiting for me, and I was so glad that my house mates didn't open it on me or hide it or something equally ridiculous. I carefully opened the parcel and I was delighted by the two products I received, they were just as glorious in real life! My parcel also contained three sample products from Mecca but I am saving them for another post.

Even without the use of a primer that the shadows lasted forever! The palette is also a mix of both matte and shimmer shades and it's easy to create so many different eye looks with the palette! 
Since purchasing, this has become my most reached for palette.
Next, the Too Faced Melted Lipstick. This was something that I was super eager to try after seeing so many people talk about it, there are so many colours to chose from and recently a Metallic series has also been introduced meaning an even broader colour range! I picked up the colour 'Melon' which is a gorgeous orangey-red colour which would be perfect for summer (although it's currently winter). The colour is super pigmented and really only needs the one application, I find that it's not super glossy either and it's not sticky whatsoever. The colour is super long lasting as well. 
Now to move on to my latest purchase from Mecca, this time I did spend slightly more but still limited myself to products that I genuinely wanted. 
Okaaayyy so the final product, for the moment at least, is the Too Faced Sugar Pop Eyeshadow Palette. This is a limited edition palette from Too Faced but it is super cute! Obviously the colours aren't wearable every day but they are still a great addition to any collection. I am a little disappointed that it doesn't smell like chocolate haha but it is absolutely amazing quality and I love the little card that comes with it which has three different looks each using three different colours - it's great inspiration. 
This purchase also came with a complimentary sample box which contained a Stila Lip Glaze in the shade 'Gleam', a sample of the Too Faced Shadow Insurance, which I have since given away as I have the full sized one, and a sample of the Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation, which I have not yet tried. Again, this parcel also came with three more samples which will be talked about in a later post, dedicated to samples.
So the first thing I wanna talk about ate the Stila Lip Glazes, I purchased the Floral Fixation trio which came with three shades - 'seashell', 'hibiscus' and 'tropical punch'. These worked out cheaper than buying them separate, so it was worth trying them out. I do find these nice and I really do like the smell of them, but they are fairly sticky which is a downside, the packaging too is something which I believe could be improved as the elf lip glazes have similar packaging and is far cheaper as well, although I do like that you can see how much product you get etc.
Overall I do believe that these are nice colours and a nice product, however I do definitely need to watch my hair on them, luckily they don't leave a sticky residue on my hair!
The next product, the Too Faced Shadow Insurance is another that has been well reached for. I had my doubts to begin with but it really does work really nicely, it makes the shadows so much more pigmented without having to use an excessive amount of product, it also is crease less! Which is absolutely awesome for all day eyeshadow, the best part is, you don't have to use so much product to get the desired result, therefore for the size and price it works out pretty awesome value!
I love the packaging, it's super sturdy and has macaroons on the outside which is super cute ! I have definitely become a huge fan of Too Faced!
And that is that for this post, I hope you all enjoyed - I am hoping to make some more purchases at Mecca soon (after tax back of course haha) but I will definitely be uploading more soon.
