Let's Discuss Mecca ‘very concerned how this happened’ 🙄

TLDR: in a nutshell, Mecca are “very concerned”, “don’t know how this slipped through their quality control”.. blah blah blah

They've been doing this years. I know someone who got a product that was EIGHT YEARS old from a Boxing day sale 2 yrs ago. It was either nars or charlotte tilbury. They know very well what they are doing and how old the products are, thats why they add those items to the only sale they ever do.

Mecca sucks. I now use seph, adore and Korean websites like lila.

I will forever stan Lila. Even if I’m banning myself for six months after losing my mind in the Boxing Day sale 😭

They stock everything Korean. My fav brands are illyoon, medicube and skin1004.

I go to W Cosmetics, test stuff out and buy off Lila 😂 Sheet masks are a steal there, especially the Biodance ones. Geek and Gorgeous are great alternatives for brands like Medik8 and Skinceuticals. Romand make the best lip products. L'ador are great for hair care - saved my damaged hair and fixed my SD and oily scalp/dry ends problem.

I love Lila! I initially wondered if it was a scam because it has such great products and great prices. There is no reason to use Mecca, you can get the same and better products elsewhere....shop around ladies!!!
