Just ordered a Sunday Riley scalp serum online so I can get my loop box, I'm level 2 but just dollars away from level 3 again, I was so proud when I dropped down a level, yet here I am again so close to level 3... :D

yeah the mecca delivery machine is insane.  Usually a sub 24 hour turnaround, and packaged to protect

My order dispatched today so hoping for some goodies tomorrow too...I've been really focussing on using all the samples I've accumulated too, doesn't help with reviews but happy I'm not neglecting freebies  - they don't do anything for my skin sitting in the cupboard :)

My box has arrived. 2 things I'm super excited about but the other two are kind of disappointing. Not ungrateful though as it's a nice bonus just surprised how good L3 is in Aus compared to NZ.

Jackie I want to talk about it too but probably not everyone has received theirs yet so don't want to ruin it for anyone.

I usually think at least a week as a bare minimum. I'd be really annoyed if it got spoiled for me, which is why I go out of my way to get mine as soon as they are released.

I'm Level 3, will pop a pic of mine on the wall. 

I got:

- Le Labo Santal 33 perfume 
- NARS multiple stick, in Orgasm
- Hourglass Veil Primer
- Darphin hydraskin light 


ive had lots of the perfume samples this year so not super excited but not md, stoked with the Nars and Darphin, and the veil primer is always handy. 

im happy but so over the b*tching about how 'bad' the 4x/year boxes of free stuff are. We are in a pandemic and an economic crisis lol be grateful for your treats.

I got the same level 3 box. Whilst it's not my favourite box, I'm certainly not complaining about it. The amount of people moaning about that box is unreal. Although some of the level 3 boxes available in Australia did look a lot better. But a lot of people seem to struggle with the idea that Mecca do not need to supply these, no matter how much money you spend with them a year. They've also lost sight of the fact that the last level 3 bonus, just a month earlier, was a full sized premium brand product.

Exactly soozie. If you get one thing you are keen to try in a free box you're ahead of the game. Level 3's get eight freebies a year from Mecca - 4 loops, 3 bonuses and a birthday gift. Not to mention the makeup application and the face that you also get the makeup etc you paid for....

pretty generous in my book. And yes the Laura Mercier gift was amazing, and they complained about that too!

And if you don't like what you get, swap it with, or give it away to someone who does! The ones who complain about getting mascara in nearly every box make me laugh too. I literally have not bought a single mascara since I've started shopping at Mecca. Even if it's the dreaded BTS one, there's always someone to give it away to who appreciates it. 

Mecca does not force anyone to spend their money there.

And then the complainers go 'I'm allowed my opinion!!!'. Well sure but you are showing your entitlement so hey lol

I got the level 2 box, anyone interested, I can pop up a picture on photo wall? :)

Sometimes they give level 2 people 3 deluxe items and one sachet and other times only 2 deluxe and 2 sachets like this time around.
But level 1 goes down a deluxe sample then too, like they only get one deluxe sample and 3 sachets/one-time use sample. :)

I think it's based on value of box rather than specific numbers of items.... either way, just a fun wee bonus

I don't mind either way, I remember not being happy with one level 3 box before, but I think that was only because I saw all the amazing Aussie variations and I got jelly! :D 
But I also remember my first ever level 1 box and I was so excited to get it, because everything was fairly new to me back then. :)

And sometimes the level 2 boxes look better than level 3 ones! I think it's the variations in the boxes that causes the grizzles.

Yeah to be fair I'm anti variation. They should be the same imo

I also got the level 3 box. I was absolutely thrilled to get the Nars multiple as its been something I wanted for ages but could never justify the spend. I must admit I was not excited about the perfume sample but who cares when you get Nars and hourglass samples.

I had to look up what the Nars Multiple was and then almost pee'd my pants in excitement. I'm ALLLL about cream face products at the mo. It's gorgeous and I set it overtop with the powder orgasm blush. The darphin is beautiful. I don't like fragrance in skincare but this smells do yummy! Perfume isn't nice. I have the primer which is great. Use to be my fav but now I go more hydrating. Also got a mini hourglass caution mascara which I'm excited to try

Funny as I love Santal 33 so I was most excited about that! It's a scent you either love or hate though.

I tried it and thought it was nice but I tried it again and my husband didn't like it and the rest of the day I kept smelling fly spray ... Might be in my head!

Oud is that smokey, woody scent. Ive been wearing By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela and it smells like a smokey Fire when you first put it on then mellows to vanilla. I think they do a candle but it's $100. Might just have to get the rollerball perfume instead.

Yeah just googled it, sounds quite nice. 

I have Trio Paris going in the bedroom and Trio vanilla and caramel going in the lounge room tonight. 

think I might light the diptyque one next

Never used to be a fan of oud but it's definitely grown on me recently. What's the Trio Havana like? Looked at that as that's the closest one of theirs that sounds oudy.

I haven't lit mine yet but I get a fresh cigar kind of scent off it, quite warm and masculine 
SooziesWorld

Well Havana does actually smell of cigars so that sounds apt!

The good thing is that trio do the wee sample ones so you could always get a wee one and check it out. I'll probs go to the store next time I'm up north  too
