I still had the one item I had my eye on in my cart last night and in stock on my wishlist. Even though the sale page wouldn't load. This morning my cart won't load even though I have a gift card and other in stock items in my cart.

My level 2 was a bit 'meh' only because one sample I have the full size of (which I love ...), and the others I've received before.....but not ungrateful, because they're all awesome freebies and I love these boxes  :) ...and I'm not far off Level 3 hahahaha

The L3 things I can use I'm super excited by,  and I'll gift on the one I can't. 

They do seem to run with the same things a couple times at times but if it's good I don't mind that lol.

now keen to see what's in my L3 birthday gift next week ;)

This will be my last level 3 loop box, my first one was terrible(had sachets and samples I’ve received previously in lvl 1&2), the second and third boxes were really good and I’m hoping to go out with a bang, lol! :D 
Im dropping down to level 2 as I’ve purchased a lot from Sephora and beauty bay in 2019, oops! :D

I saw the boxes online and they all seem pretty good. I have the full-size of one of the items in the Level 3 box and I think a number of people will really like it. My Level 2 box didn't have any makeup minis but since I'm seeing a fair amount of nights away from home in my future, I'm really appreciating travel sized skincare.

Got my wee Mecca online goodies a couple of days ago along with my Beauty Loop.

Wasnt sure what I was expecting but it was cute. The was a product in there that I already have a full size of too and I don't like the smell but I'm sure one of my friends will appreciate it he he he.

I love getting surprises, also got a couple of wee samples, one I'm loving as it's so nice and soft and hydrating. Too scared to go and find the price for the full size after the last thing I tried ba ha ha.

I picked my birthday gift up from an actual Mecca store at Christmas time, loved it. Made it all the more special.

Each time I go to Auckland, I'm going to try and visit, especially now I know how to use Uber. I would get lost if I tried to drive there. I had to get my niece to take me there ha ha ha.

I'd like to try another store, I think I went to the Sylvia Park store. Which is the best to go to? Lots of products were out of stock but that could be because I stupidly went in on Boxing Day ha ha ha.

Sylvia is my closest but it's quite little.

The best and biggest ones are Newmarket,  and CBD (the one on the corner near Sky City, there's a smaller one half a block down too) followed by Botany and Albany. I really like Takapuna too but I would say Newmarket is probably my fave/go to

My fam bam live in Onehunga, so think we went to Sylvia Park because it was the closest? (I'm just guessing because I have no idea ha ha ha). Would love to go to a bug one as they would hold more stock on the shelves.

Jump on the train from Onehunga and you can easily get to both Newmarket and the CBD :)

But yeah Sylvia Park is probably the closest by car

That's a cool idea Trudi, I've never been on a train before, so that would be a great experience.

Yeah I go in to the city on the train more than I drive in. Super easy and reasonably comfortable too

Stoked with the Mecca bday gift too :) it's the same for all Level 3s I think bc soozie got the same a few months back. 

curiously all stores have more loop boxes leftover than usual... there's been a lot of entitled people whinging about the loop boxes this time which is crazy to me as these are genuine freebies, four to eight times a year depending on your level...

Bless Mecca... I made an online purchase but it arrived with no samples. I emailed to ask if they'd stopped the sample service and they sent me three the next day! One I haven't tried but the other two I have and loved. 

they're the best!

Haha I always think this too! A couple of times I've got cheaper things but it's the expensive ones I usually fall for! I like the drunk elephant cleansing balm and last time an eye serum. The only thing I purchased from Mecca after trying a sample was the Hourglass mineral veil primer. Ive also purchased something from Sephora after getting a mini

Oooh I have the Drunk Elephant F Balm (I think that's what its called) on my wishlist.

I'm obsessed with Kiehls at the moment especially the Calendula Water Cream and the Calendula Mask, omg so good. 

I have a few things on my wishlist that they have added to their site recently but will have to wait until lockdown has lifted.

Gah...finally used the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream sample from a Loop Box - and LOVE it  :(  Such a good cream for winter especially, for combination/dry skin - but soooo pricey by my standards at least. I think it might be time to stop hoarding all the luxury samples and start working through them to stop me dreaming of Tatcha Dewy Skin cream

Haha yeah those damn minis can really get ya. I've never tried any Tatcha (due to price) but it's very popular. I have been working through my samples too ... I had so many!

I'm a sample hoarder too Miss Dilly. If they're pretty and expensive I tend to save for something a bit mor special than everyday, but have started using after I realised some were being saved till nearly their use by date.

That's a good point! I used another sample this morning and spotted another Tatcha sample  - water cream ... I might get through a few others before falling in love with Tatcha again haha
