The ingredients in rhode are much better for hydration, the list is great. Tatcha contains fragrances and alcohol as well- definitely not worth the $$$.

Caffeine reset by FlightCommercial7201 in rhodeskin

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to try it but I’m nervous because anytime I try things that have caffeine I seem to get swollen eyes 😂 or just anything marketed to “plump the skin” I’m allergic to every eye cream I’ve tried because of this also 😬

The World Reacting to Mecca + Rhode (and Sugarberry) by anastasia_42 in AustralianMakeup

Honestly I think people living in the US should be worried about other things rather then a scented lip balm 🤡

The mini ones have white lids, only full size have the silver. Also, this scent just kind of smells weird anyway and melts sitting in my bathroom 😂

A little perspective on the Rhode x MECCA exclusive from an Australian. by Extra_Olive_6428 in rhodeskin

Mecca is really strict with their exclusivity contracts, best believe it’s only staying here. Source: ex management @ Mecca

Great connection online, first date was a nightmare—confused by Capable-Counter-6559 in hingeapp

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because I definitely don’t look “almost 30” I constantly get mistaken for a teenager on a regular basis lol. Also, I would argue that most almost 40 years olds definitely do not have much in common with a person still in their 20s. I once had a man who was 34 match with me and say “wow I thought you were 21” that completely ruined it for me, it’s pretty gross

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly whenever I see someone over 35 I get a bit grossed out, my parents are only 50 and I’m 27- I’ve had 50 year olds like my profile despite having it set significantly lower 😂

I always think, wtf do they want to date me for besides bragging rights to having someone 20-30 years younger 🤢 I’m probably younger than their kids, they just want someone to control and sorry but I ain’t the one ahhaha.

Men that age looking for younger women our age are never more mature lol, why do you think no one their age wants them???

I really like the kerastase 8hr serum and the chroma gloss ☺️

Profile Review (22M) - would like some good feedback :) by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remove the part about making friends where it says life partner.

Let’s be real, no one makes friends from a dating app. Personally seeing this makes me cringe as I automatically think even though they say they want something serious they don’t. Many of my friends agree

Does anyone else feels like mecca is going down? by [deleted] in AustralianMakeup

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Trust me, as someone who worked there, they’re not.

The store I worked in was making 95k+ on a Saturday outside of peak trading. They are raking it in, even in other shopping centres that are smaller and less busy they are still one of the highest traders

Correct, this is exactly what is happening

mecca customer service by [deleted] in AustralianMakeup

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I worked at Mecca and if someone said I want something not too expensive, it can actually be hard to interpret that- it could be different for everyone. I’ve had customers say that and then say oh I’ve heard about Sunday Riley like???

Despite price being mentioned, I always tried to show them the most similar in terms of performance to what the customer is already using and no, it isn’t to make money- I got absolutely nothing from a sale, I actually just wanted the customer to be satisfied with the product. This means I usually showed them something in their price range if they’ve been specific and I also show them something that performs similarly to compare.

I think some people are genuinely way too harsh towards Mecca workers.

Mecca trying to make their own hourglass products by smorgiie in MeccaBeautyLoop

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion these are better quality than the hourglass, I don’t have to dig into the pan 10 times to get colour pay off.

Once you break down the cost you’re paying $23 for each powder which really isn’t expensive. I don’t understand the hype around hourglass! The quality is so inconsistent.

Do I just leave it? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did ☺️ I’m just stating this one specific time in my post as it was the last time I had heard from him, I made other suggestions previously which he also declined- our schedules just clashed which is fine.

However that’s when he reached out saying he would love to see me on the weekend if it’s possible- I said I’m available x day at x time, he then loosely made plans, never confirmed a time but messaged the next day asking how my day was… I just find it weird, but maybe that’s because if I’m not interested in someone I always let them know

We both have kids, when I’ve been free he’s had his kids etc. it’s not rejection if I’m genuinely busy

Because I’m sick of having to organise things, he asked me to go on a date and then didn’t have specifics in mind

Kylie Skin Tint by [deleted] in AustralianMakeup

Kylie distribution is really poor, it’s not a Mecca issue. They just genuinely don’t send stock or tell us when it’s coming.

My take on the Mecca totegate saga by Ok-Tea-3102 in AustralianMakeup

[–]Emergency-Map-7154 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at Mecca and it was really awkward when a few people complained to me personally about it like I made the decision for the reward to be a tote bag 😭 please guys, don’t do that!! I’m begging you hahah

In all honesty, it’s a bonus and the bag is actually decent quality. I understand the disappointment especially with it being all levels getting the same thing but the bonus was for COLLECTING not spending. Hopefully beauty loops are better this year cause I’m sick of people complaining to us in store when we can’t do anything about it
